the arguments *FOR* adult

[DaddyHalbucks]

With the latest push against adult by the FBI and DOJ, sometimes it seems like our industry is under siege.

Many folks were already afraid to tell their neighbors what they do.

And, we always hear so much negativity about porn.

So, how to combat this?

What are the arguments FOR adult? How do you summarize our right to do what we do, and perhaps even argue that what we do is.. GOOD?

Let me start it off:

1. We are usually just talking about adult ENTERTAINMENT. For the most part, it is just movies, pictures, audio, and words which satisfy emotional needs. It is consensual, and no one is forced to participate.

2. The government doesn't belong in our bedrooms telling us what we can or can't do. Most legal scholars, and even jurists, now accept a general constitutional right to privacy, even though it is not reduced to writing. Amendments 9 & 10 acknowledge non-enumerated and reserved rights. The first amendment to the constitution expressly provides broad free speech rights.

3. If religious groups don't like sex, they have the same rights to shun sex in their personal lives, but they have no rights to tell others what to do in this regard.

4. The adult business is very entrepreneurial, and the adult business has given many people economic freedom and enriched their lives.

5. Despite the irresponsible statements of political fringe groups, the adult business has little connection with child exploitation. Most adult businesses, both offline and online, condemn child exploitation, and there are even industry associations within the adult community to combat it.

6. Section 2257 and other laws provide ample government regulation for preventing abuse and exploitation. Further government regulation is intrusive and accomplishes nothing. Many people feel the existing laws are burdensome, and that the government generally does not enforce its existing laws, but seems to always want tougher statutory language, to use selectively, to harass.

7. As Kinsey and many other scientists have discovered, sex is a healthy part of human expression and behavior. The consensus among health care professionals is that sexual repression is harmful.

Please post and add to my above list.
