Debate by Anonymous User on Wednesday November 07, @04:04AM EST (#1) I can't see what there is to debate. The women involved in the Porn Industry and Prostitution are a darn sight healthier in attitude than other women. We need to all take a look at the sexuality expressed by women in porn and learn from it. Feminists object to this industry simply out of jealousy, nothing more. Get rid of these "women" and support the industries where women are able to express their femininity.

Re:Debate by Claire4Liberty on Wednesday November 07, @10:04PM EST (#2) (User #239 Info) Ah, but here's a question: Would you be willing to marry a porn star or a prostitute? Furthermore, would you be willing to marry her even if she insisted on continuing her career in the sex industry? If not, why not? I am pro-porn, pro-prostitution, but I don't think sex industry workers necessarily have a "healthier" attitude towards sex than women who are not involved in the sex industry. I think it's just different. They are polyamorous. I am monogamous. I'm partnered to a man who would definitely NOT take kindly to me having sex with other men, whether or not it was under the guise of "work." Nor would I take kindly to him having other lovers. We are monogamous. We enjoy being monogamous. We don't want other lovers. I have friends who are polyamorous and involved in the world of swinging. I don't begrudge them their lifestyle. It is my firm belief that being polyamorous or monogamous is an orientation, like homosexuality or heterosexuality. I think you are BORN monogamous or polyamorous, and you cannot change this orientation. But true acceptance and tolerance means not only that monos have tolerance for polys, but that polys have tolerance for monos. The world needs both of us.

Re:Debate by DanCurry on Thursday November 08, @07:34PM EST (#3) (User #245 Info) I also support a womens right to rent out her body for entertainment or to provide sex care. I feel it allows some women to make an honest living without having to rely on deceptions like marriage or entrapment with pregnancy to support her otherwise unmotivated life. Our society has been way to stuffy on the issue of sex which is one of the key reasons why radical manhating feminist have been able to establish and maintain power over our lawmakers and men in general. Would I be willing to marry a pornstar or prostitute? Never in a million years. But are there men that would? Most certainly. Marriage Obsolete? Dan Curry DanCurry.Com
