Analyze this text and find the logical fallacies: Let’s suppose there is a type of porn which is 100% consensual from all parties involved and everyone is treated very well. There is zero mistreatment. There is no human trafficking or underaged girls. There is no pressure or force for people to do anything they don’t want to. There are no victims of abuse being taken advantage of due to their broken sense of self-worth, no one who feels pressured to do porn because of a poor financial situation, no grooming or predatory behavior, no addicts being profited from due to their lack of self-control. I don’t think porn like this exists, but let’s just suppose.
In such a case, porn is STILL unethical for a very simple reason: It always promotes objectification.
A picture/video of a person is an OBJECT.
The viewer is looking at a screen; the real human being is not actually there. Only pixels are there.
Through a pornographic picture or video, the viewer is not getting to know a real human being. They are not in the presence of a real human being. There is no way for them to see a real human being. The viewer is just lusting after a picture of a body part or a video of two bodies in a sex act.
It is sexual gratification being obtained through an object. This conditions people’s sexuality to be one of objectification. This creates a culture of sexual objectification in society.
Thus, it is unethical to post any picture/video with the intention of getting others to obtain sexual gratification because it promotes objectification.
Also, it is unethical to view any picture/video with the intention of sexual gratification because it is objectification.
Only way to be ethical is to be 100% pornfree (free from posting it and free from viewing it). To experience sexuality only in real life with a real, fully consenting human being who you are actually in the real presence of.
