Dildos are not created in a vacuum and has a large industry surrounding it - and a lot of the practices involved in that are troublesome too. Sweatshops?
I'm sure there is pornography created by people who want to make it. I'm less sure there are dildos created by anyone who wants to be making dildos (the actual workers, not the boss).
I'm sure some people would find a wife using a dildo as degrading to the husband and morally objectionable. Probably most of the middle east. That certainly doesn't give me the right to call it bad, though.
- Myrmornis 13y agoYou've totally gone off the rails in this comment. The point is we can draw a line between commodities whose creation involves (a) people using their bodies in ways which vary from completely fine and consensual to coercion/slavery/illegal abuse, and (b) people working in bad conditions. In category (a) we have, e.g. porn and prostitution. In category (b), we have dildos, t-shirts and cell phones. There will be important discussions to be had about categories (a) and (b), but those discussions will be different.
