The show centers around the Porn industry, and how many women are viewing porn, and one lady who is an erotica/lingerie boutique owner said something about how women used to feel embarrassed about watching/buying porn, but that they shouldn't, and so now that it's more widely accepted women are just taking advantage of it a lot more now and I was just... really sad.
Because frankly, I think people DO need to be embarrassed about it. I don't think it should be accepted, because it's so disgusting and degrading and stupid.
I'm sorry if this offends any porn watchers out there, but seriously.. if it's SO "normal", then why is it that almost NO normal mother and father out there would ever want their daughter or son to aspire to be a porn star? Hm? And if you do hope they become a porn star, then you have sad dreams for your child, I"m sorry.
And what makes me more sad is that a lot of these porn stars are married, and that their spouse apparently has no issue with their partner having animalistic sex with a random person...
So really, if you think pornography is "normal", consider whether you'd want that for your child, whether you're willing to "share" your partner's body with other people as a job (which I suppose is a branch of prostitution when you REALLY think about it).. and other factors like that.
Think about it.
By the way, Jenna, who is the world's top porn star, lives a "lavish" lifestyle and I don't think she gives much to charity or does anything philanthropic with her crapload of cash. Some contribution to society.
