In reply to the discussion: If porn is a legitimate means of commercial activity, how do its fans feel about regulating it? [View all]Prophet 451
(9,796 posts)And yes, the porn industry responded to regulation the same way every industry responds to regulation. Expecting them not to is expecting the porn industry to be better than every other industry.
But let's go with regulation. The problem with regulation is that there is now so much amateur content but assuming we can come up with a reasonable way of seperating amateur content (even for profit amateur content) from pro content, I'll start the bidding at:
- Rubbers for everyone (with the possible exception of exclusive monogamous teams).
- Monthly STD checks for everyone (I considered weekly but that's impractical).
- The formation of a union for porn producers/actors.
- Revamping the payscale. Pretty much everyone in porn is underpaid.
- The creation of .xxx and .sex domains on the web. That means if you want to look at porn, fine but if you don't, it's easily avoided. Also makes barring minor access much easier.
- Ban on rape porn. I've come around on this one due to the difficulty in telling whether a scene is simulated rape or actual rape.
I've probably missed a few needed regulations so let's hear your suggestions.
