I should clarify. I am not condemning all pornography. I do think there exists a certain type of "good erotica" which does celebrate human sexuality, but it is clear that much of pornography objectifies humans, both male and female, as little more than animals. That's what I have a problem with as I do think it leads to the justification of biological practices which are supposedly outmoded by our current ethical institutions.
EDIT: I can't find electronic links to the articles in the case without purchasing the articles. I have access through my university account.
If you go to google scholar and type in the appropriate search words, you get a bunch of articles from academic journals.

Duh. That's the point. A lot of sex is power and people like it that way. People need to separate sexual instincts/desires from being ethical human beings. As long as it's between consenting adults and no abuse is done.
What screws with society is sexual moralists who insist on inducing shame in others. Society NEEDS to be open to people exploring their sexual instincts.
