Pornography, in all its forms, is regarded as less taboo to expose to the public then the devestating prevelance and effects sexual violence against women and children in society!. The advertisers use the breasts to create pleasure for them (increased sales, a particular image and lots of money) the same way the rapist attacks a women for owning those same features!. I see more adverts featuring womens breasts bouncing then I do of society cracking down on violence on people with those same features!. There is something unbalenced about that!.

Men are visual and women have the goods!. Some will take some what they want, wether they are given permission to or not, and some are desensitised by porn and the use of sex as advertisment and so they are more willing to take what they see as part of their society and part of their role and right of being male!.

Well, a and b - not necessarily, but in many normal cases both (never just one or the other!. Anyone participating in a degrading interaction is degraded, whether viewer or actor)!. C and d almost never true, but when rarely true, both - people can uplift each other through sexuality!.

e - unhealthy, not necessarily, but it poses a risk to everyone, of becoming slightly or radically more socially or sexually dysfunctional!.
f - healthy, sometimes, as a way to facilitate fantasy, but not healthy if it is needed to arouse or finish, and not healthy if its presence becomes a manipulative temptation towards stimulation that wouldn't spontaneously be enjoyed!.

H, no!. I don't know how you could justify that!. People can have fantasies without having them illustrated and supplied by other people!.
G, well, yeah!. But it's complicated!.

I mean, pornography made by healthy people, is healthy, for healthy adult people with healthy sexual conditioning!. But !.!.!. it's not always healthy in all those ways, and it can do harm to people whose sexuality is still forming, especially in the context of our society that already is repressed enough to characterize sexuality as degrading and to sexualize violence!. The problem isn't really porn, and porn tends to make problems worse!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pornography is empowering to the human race, as it's one more opportunity to end a stupid taboo that no one questions!.

Although I am a bit curious as to why someone would say it's degrading to women but not degrading to men!.!.!.!.
What about male, gay porn!?
Is that "degrading" to men!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The highest rate of sex crimes comes from cultures where sex education is taboo!. Where there is no sex education, pornography is the most offensive!. Ignorance is never the correct answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All of the above!. It all depends on the perception of the viewer; every individual responds to stimuli in different ways!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
