Your first point is the only one that stands for non-straight porn.

2 and 3 don’t apply to gay porn for obvious reasons.

Point 4 probably has more to do with your proximity to sex workers than anything. I have plenty of friends that make their own amateur porn, to me there’s nothing wrong with it. Also, living in sf, I’ve also met plenty of professional gay performers. They’re just like you and I, but they have a more interesting line of work.

My point is not to say that the effects of porn are all positive, but that your issue with porn might have more to do with the way society treats women and sexuality than it does with porn itself.

All porn is bad. It is detrimental to individuals and society, regardless of age. It's addictive nature is at legendary status. It blows up marriages and twists the expectations of sex to be convenient and casual instead of a long lived relationship that is worth personal sacrifice.

It's like a drug that attaches to your love receptors preventing you from really loving and receiving love. And most steeped in its grasp don't even know it because it is hard to explain color to someone that has only ever seen black and white.

Your relationship with pornography isn't everyone's relationship with pornography.
So many people run around thinking that they are the exception.
