There is exhibitionists yes they exist..but they are not so numerous as there are people being used by the porn industry.

My main reason for hating porn is it is an industry with ties to organized crime, human trafficking,and other exploitative things that damage humanity.

My second reason is by looking at porn you can never tell if the people in it are being exploited.A fake rape scene might very well be a real one. How can you tell?

The porn industry is very profitable easy money.So crooks cannot resist it to make money..In war-zones women are recruited by pornographers preying upon their situations and poverty they say come to america we will help you get a job working as a secretary or a cook and then they become enslaved and are sold to..pornagraphers and pimps,to strip houses and to private individuals. This happens more than you think and the porn industry is impossible to police considering it is GLOBAL. In America we may have laws about consenting age. But in Thailand and India they do not have laws like we do and the porn pictures can be bought from these places cheap and re sold,as long as the seller says nothing to the buyer about the ages of the people in the pictures and they look old enough the porn seller is off the hook..Don't ask don't tell..Denial and it is disgusting.

Then there is the dehumanizing aspects of porn invisible to those who have never been dehumanized that way. . You don't seem to see it in porn clearly and you seem to think it is normal too.You haven't been hurt enough by exploitation to feel the need to draw a boundary there and see the differences between erotica and porn yet..And that is due to being desensitized and ignorant of what the industry is and how it operates.. And that is YOUR issue but your lack of boundaries and ethical holes in what you tolerate really does endanger other people and this is why I hate porn.

Here are some people who have been in the sex work and porn industry and survived, listen to them, empathize and feel for THEM put yourself and your opinions aside a moment to understand what they are saying. Only when you see this problem and see it from the PRODUCTION and INDUSTRY end, instead of the CONSUMER end, you will understand why I HATE porn.Until you look at the true cost of porn you will not see the damages.And you will not see the damages from a CONSUMERS point of view. I am asking you to question what you think is ok and normal and step out of your comfort zones where you have weak boundaries. Can you do that?
