> We lost our ability to apply any kind of moral judgement Or maybe "we" did apply a judgement and that judgement was "it's OK because of personal/individual freedom and personal/individual responsibility," or "it's OK because humans shouldn't be bred like animals and should be able to enjoy sex simply for pleasure." Also sexually graphic art is not the same as prostitution where an actual sex act between a buyer and seller is involved. Falsely equating these is a bad faith argument.

Humans shouldnt breed like animals and today we're much more sexually liberated. All positives. So why practically every measure from happiness surveys, anti depressant prescriptions, self harm, etc all point to a deeply unhappy society? Or put it another way, if you think everything is morally equal, would you be happy if your sister was on only fans? How about your daughter? Is this really the most someone can offer to society? Pictures of various body parts and a fake relationship with lonely men? https://www.businessinsider.com/antidepressants-usage-quadrupled-since-1988-2014-5 https://www.businessinsider.com/antidepressants-usage-quadru...

C) This statement assumes that sex degrades oneself; I don't accept that as true nor support any ideology that does.
