I find that tacky. Who uses it? Teenage boys and people afraid of real human interaction. It's like those interactive phone and TV channels. The thought of talking to a grandmother while watching a young woman peel puts me off. Cause unless you are massively lucky, you ain't talking to the gal on the screen.
Porn, fine. As you say, it is here to stay.
Not massively fond of strip clubs, but they are there and ain't my call to stop a woman earning easy(ish - the average pole dancer goes throught a physical work out that would kill a professional martial artist) money by taking her clothes off. Ain't my right either.
Even brothels, well, I can see the appeal as long as the guy/gal visiting is not in a relationship and the gals/guys working there get their med checks, are not forced in any way whatsoever, and insist on safe sex for their own protection.
There is a line for me. If you are with someone you don't screw around, full stop. Using interactive porn is screwing around (though, as mentioned above, they are very rarely with some one). If you are single, hey, go nuts. It is your credit card bill and no one elses business.
I absolutely agree... this does cross the line. I mean its just one easy step from the interactive porn sites to the cheaper version of IM'ing or CL'ing with a real person.
Porn is normal, whether online or in print... but once it comes down to any actual human interaction (cyber or otherwise) it definately crosses that line into something else completely.
