To be realistic I don't think it's possible to know that anyone is enjoying what they are doing.
There are so many ways that people are degraded
but the sex industry is a headline grabber.I wonder how many people who are anti porn, anti-sex industry buy things that are made by abused children, and factory workers. I'm sure they'd claim not, but are they scrupulous in making sure, or do they boycott the obvious and hope for the best in everything else?
As for me, I've been shall we say "intimate" with the sex industry, and found it less degrading than many other aspects of being human.
I'm not denying the abuse, or the sadness.
As a friend of mine said "I don't mind porn, it's the industry I hate"
and I would add to that, Porn in a free society is one thing, pornography in North America is, sadly, another.I applaud Milly for hiding the magazines away from the kids.
