Ok, let me say something about myself right quick. When I sign up for a forum, I have a bit of a tendency to post topics that are on touchy or unusual topics. Usually this is something I am thinking about at the time or an issue that is currently bothering me.
This is the later, and I'm embarrassed to say it's about porn.... yea.
First off let me say that I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Now the thing I wanted to talk about was the issue people commonly have with pornography in general. Often times when I think about it, I worry less about porn itself and more about the industry and how the people, particularly the women are treated.
I ran across several youtube videos such as these here

These often lead into another debate about prostitution as well, which makes one wonder if the very concept itself as a whole is bad.
I'm not about to state my views on the matter but I would like to know what all of you think of porn and prostitution both as actions and the industries.
I apologies ahead of time, to bring up such a potentially uncomfortable topic here, which I'm not sure is allowed or not. I'm sure it might be setting a bad image for me since I'm so new here and haven't said or done much here.
Another thing is I know religion and spirituality often gets poured into this debate, so I think it would be best for everyone to try to respect one another in this issue if possible.
Last of all I don't want this to be a topic to become a discussion about favorite porn videos and the like. Just a deep yet respectful discussion on the issue at hand.
