Society (at least in the US) shames the use of porn if you're male (loser, pervert, can't get laid) an praises the use of porn by women (independent, empowered, sexy).

As for the concept of porn itself, it's relegated to other bedroom topics and just doesn't come up in "polite" conversation.

"""an praises the use of porn by women (independent, empowered, sexy)."""

Only in liberal, upper middle class, circles. Which of course includes most of the wannabe upper-middle-class talking heads and journalists.

Middle class society don't share the "empowered, sexy" view for porn on women at all.

I haven't personally observed this, but our society certainly shames the women who perform in pornography.
