Uh it's called Freedom of Speech, maybe you'd prefer living in the Soviet Union, or a bubble perhaps...\nThe problem isn't that we allow it, anything in moderation, that doesn't harm another or break the law should be tolerated. The problem is people that take things too far, do harm others, break laws and turn porn into a dirty thing. Where did the cruel beast thing come from, that was random!

OK, guys.... The answer is that pornography is a business, licensed by the state and they pay taxes.... It follows the film industry guidelines making it legal..... \nProstitution is not permitted except in 16 counties in Nevada where it is a licensed business just like any other retail store.  I am not joking here.. \nIn Clark County Nevada, Las Vegas, prostitution is illegal therefore you can't get a business license and you don't pay taxes.  \nIt is economics people...... \nNow, the difference between porno and hookers.... Not much except as a general rule, the porn stars are a little better groomed and cared for.  They make the producer's very rich so they are treated much better than the hookers on the street.  \nPorn stars also get W-4 forms at the end of year to pay taxes on their earnings just like anyone else.  Hookers, no....

Not at all.  Society's just bombarded with images of American girls being and/or acting promiscuous.  Mass communication lies in the hands of perverted and wealthy Americans.  I'm sure other countries are just as promiscuous, maybe even more.  Perhaps if Girls Gone Wild took place in, let's say Mongolia, we'd think Mongolians were horny bastards as well (no offense to Mongolians; just making a point).  Anyway, enjoy.

Because the First Amendment protects free speech – which covers expressions/performance of all kinds.  \n\nAlthough some may find porn objectionable, the freedom of making such expression or performance is protected - although restricted (no public sex/nudity, etc.)  Also, any such "performance" by actors under 18 is strictly prohibited.  It's a crime for recording/making such "performance", as well as selling and owning any child porn materials.  \n\nProstitution, however, is not protected anywhere in the Constitution, and all states outlawed such a profession.  Granted it’s still sex for money, but the difference is that prostitution is selling sex, while making porn is selling a performance (like acting).  The same principle also applies to strip bars.  \n\nFinally, since profits from prostitution are not taxed, they are essentially tax evasion.  Where as porn actors still pay taxes like everyone else.

The Indonesian government and the parliament consider this anti-pornography and pornoaction law is a manifestation from the culture of Eastern Nations. As an "eastern", Indonesia should preserve the decorous behavior from "Bad" behavior such as pornographies and pornoactions.\n\nIts look like "on the horns of a dilemma", one side we should preserve the heritages of our anchestors, but in another side the era of globalization has come, bundled with its "Freedom" styles.\n\nI think we should harmonized this two conditions wisely, Faster, Better.\n\nThanks....and Be Wise....

Any multination company - regardless of how moral a standpoint they assume in their country of origin- will only do the MINIMUM required by any country in which they operate.\n\nFor instance American oil companies will comply with tight environmental and safety restrictions when working in, say, the North sea, Canada  or California, but it is a very different story when they are operating in Africa or South America.  They don't think twice about paying bribes, either.

It depends on the person.but doing porn only for sexual fantasy it really doesnot sound correct. Basically their would be financial reason. And if anybody who is already in sex bussiness gets an offer for making porn,and gets a good amount of money...i think she can go for it.and a lady who is already in this profession, she knows that this is the thing wht she has to do everytime...so why not work for more money.

I'm really not getting this regional thing.  I'd rather hop between boards anyway - a bit of answering in the US, a bit in the UK etc.  Otherwise we really are just limiting the culteral richness that is currently so abundant in Yahoo!Answers.

If you are referring to celeb in US and UK or Europe, well most of these countries are developed, and although poverty and lack exists everywhere, third world countries have more of it and people do not have the right mentality to combat it or the right environment to be able to change their current situations\n\nplus they get more publicity that way too............

Most western countries ( Europe and the Americas) are basically Christian oriented.\nChristianity teaches that Jesus died for the sins of Mankind.\nThis belief alone gives license to the believer to sin.\nPornography is promotes by all western countries.\nLook at the  way women who go to church dress, they way they speak and preach in church.\nGays and lesbians demand rights because they believe that they are right.\nThis is all about sexual behavior.\nThis is not the case in other civilizations and religions.\nBut of course , who is to tell the Christian nations that they are wrong.\nEven if it were possible for Jesus to come back and try to reform modern day " Christians" they would seek to crucify him again.\nGod Bless you all.

In most civilized democracies, nudes (not gross pornography) are allowed in magazines for an adult audience. \n\nThis means all of Western Europe, Japan, many parts of South America, Australia, etc, as well as in the US.

Respectable?? NO. Lucrative?? Yes.   The problem here is that business is about making money, and making money is the only concern. Porn is degrading and exploitive, but you can buy plenty of respectability with the huge amounts of money that a porn star rakes in.

Well I know its not Afghanistan, that's for sure.\n\nsince you didn't say movies as in movies for the big screen, I would have to say, the USA. There are many movies produced there for the television, cable vision, and not to mention the unimaginable amount of porn which is released every day via the Internet and the DVD sales. I am sure India does not have this type of products yet, despite the number of Bollywood movies.

All forms of porn should be banned. It will never happen. It is a freedom of speech issue.

Porn sites are great for using in moderation, at the right time. To boost a couples sex life, to help a young single man with his confidence. Just don't get caught up in the "I don't do that" then hiding your history on your computer when your wife comes in! To want to look at naked women/men is perfectly acceptable. If we were all a bit more honest, the seedy side of the porn industry wouldn't be there

Compared to the majority of the world, which has a traditional view of human sexuality and relationships, the American attitude on sex portrayed in movies and television, is embarrassing and appalling to most of the world: Muslims, Asians, Africans. From the majority world's perspective, American sexuality is immature for being uninhibited.\n\nImplied in the question might be a preference for an even more progressive attitude about sexuality. One may need to make a case for that on a basis other than the "rest of the world."

The greatest strength of the internet is that no-one can control the content.  The issuing of site names is controlled by a number of organizations, but the actual content of sites is not (there is just far too many pages for anyone to check).\n\nMuch of this content is hosted in countries where regulators look the other way. \n\nControl can only be done by getting companies to stop hosting such sites, or, by use of filters by your internet provider or on your own computer.\n\nA number of financial istitutions currently have an initiative to refuse to process payments to such sites.  However, that does not help with the huge numbers of free sites or sites using other payment schemes.\n\nWhile there are very, very few people who would disagree with banning child pornography sites, the problem then becomes where do you draw the line?\n\nChina is seeking to control access for political reasons.\n\nCertain other countries seek to impose controls for religious or cultural reasons.\n\nMany large corporations would like be able to ban content that infringes their trademarks or intellectual property.  Again it is easy to sign up to banning counterfeiting or piracy, but how do you stop the banning of legitimate consumer complaints? \n\nIts a very difficult line to draw.
