That aside, though, would you have a problem with your partner watching homemade porn? If a couple films themselves making love and posts it on a free website, no one is being disrespected and no industry is being supported. If you'd have a problem with that, then I think the whole "porn is demeaning to women" line is just an excuse to justify the other reasons that you are uncomforatable with pornography.

I honestly haven't seen enough porn to argue whether you're right or not, but I will admit that I think my tolerance for what's considered demeaning may be much lower than that of other people, particularly those who regularly watch porn. Also, I think there's a difference between actually enjoying what's happening and being paid to enjoy what's happening. I may not like my job, but if you pay me enough money to do it I can sure as hell act like it.
In regards to your other question...I had written a response, but I don't think it fully articulates my thoughts, and since it's 2am where I am I should probably go to bed and figure out what to say another day.
