Perhaps Mr. Obrien should go peddle his porn philosphy some place else. As a woman, I find it offensive and anti-female, and a hate crime against women. Porn is a BILLION $$ industry that exploits women for $$ and kills their soul and bodies with drugs. Spare me your idiotic excuses for porn. It is a crime and should be treated as such. It rots the soul and causes mental illness.
Shame on you Mr. Obrien; perhaps you should to Playboy and spew your lies.

No time to waste crying about it. Sometime truths hurt, and nothing can be done about it.
But there certainly is a hugely successful industry out there. The thing to do is find a better way to tax pornography, and it's associated businesses. There's an economic down turn going on, porn and sex could help revive a sagging economy eh... Thanks for the idea Mara!
