Whether or not pornography is good for a culture or not is a complicated topic. On the one hand the right to print and view porn is a free speech issue, and on the other hand it can be a human rights issue. Many young men and women die every year due to overdose, suicide, homicide, and accidents due to the torment they are going through working in porn films.
Although I don’t have an answer about what is “right” and what is “wrong” where the availability of porn is concerned, former porn actress, Shelley Luben does. She has created a crusade to help people get out of the porn industry. Her site does anything but glamorize an industry that chews people up and spits them out.
Watching porn is not a victimless crime.
Eleven porn porn stars died from HIV, suicide, homicide and drugs in 2007.
Between 2003 and 2005, 976 performers were reported with 1,153 positive STD results.
66% of porn performers have Herpes, a non-curable disease.
