Taking a wild guess, I'd say binary132's main concern was the lasting effect on the consumers, not the producers. Girls' broken self-image, male porn addiction, substituting real intimacy, proliferating bad sex practises just to name a few.

Doesn't that put it in the same realm as alcohol? Best enjoyed in moderation and all that. Those concerns are valid, but not necessarily solved by shunning porn. Besides, where do you draw the line?

Personally I consider it more along the lines of heroin.

It’s definitely not good for producers either. But yeah, the broader cultural impact is on the scale of many millions of people, some of whom develop debilitating addictions, including many kids. “Sex work” has always and probably will always exist, but it’s never been a publicly consumed service at this scale.

I was intending to address both.

I believe it's absolutely possible to consume too much porn, but it's by and large fine.

that is merely your opinion, and it is not borne out in reality
