Since you used it as a qualifier, I figured you had some way of knowing if it was OK to watch pornographic material. After all you said it's a problem if they are exploited in some way...but if it's not up to the viewer to know, then does it really matter if they are exploited? Does the user just assume it's all good and spank away?
And I agree on the buying of clothes, and that's a discussion to have as well. One thing at a time, I'm talking about pornography.

I think the key difference is whether the creator is coerced or manipulated in some way. That, to me, is the line of distinction.
As a consumer, I’m not likely to know whether or not a woman ends up in porn for one of those reasons or not so I was speaking of it specifically from the standpoint of a creator.

Fair enough, I guess you must have an idea for yourself what constitutes excess and what is moderation. At some point though, it seems there would be an objective standard to kind of base that off of.

There’s very little in this world that’s objective. Even murder is justified when you draw an invisible line and call it war.

I don’t consider porn a vice at all, nor do I consider gambling or recreational drug use vices.
There are enough iron-hard socks out there to say at least
something good comes from porn lol
