Just another thought

Two words that you will notice coming from those who oppose the Adult industry are "Degrading" and "Exploit". These words are tossed around every time a strip club opens. Yet, how often do you hear them other wise? Well, EVERY company in America exploits something. Exploitation is the key to a good advertising campaign. T-Mobile is currently Exploiting Catherine Zeta Jones' popularity top sell phones, Home Depot Exploits Gene Hackmen in its adds. Companies all over the world exploit something, or we would not have an economy. Yet you only hear that word used in a derogatory way when an adult club comes around.
And of course them comes the word degrading. Who really decides who is degrading themselves? NONE of the dancers at these clubs feel they are degrading themselves. The enjoy dancing, maybe they are not degrading themselves, could it be they are just exobitionist? Maybe they are proud of their bodies and like to show it off and make some money at the same time?
I have also heard the word pervert tossed out. The statements made by "Mr.F" claims that if you go to these places you are a pervert. Why? Because we like to watch the female form dance? They ok, I'm a pervert! But then, what about the hundreds of movies that come out every year. Actresses such as Katie Holmes, Keira Knightly, Hally Barry, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, and even Katy Bates have all taken off their clothes for our entertainment on film. Did they degrade themselves? Are we perverts for watching them on the big screen and on DVD? No. Because nudity is a common thing that this country and the church have repressed for years. Now that sex is out in the open , it is part of the mass media. Sex is in the public eye and some can not handle it. It is a natural part of being human. It is not degrading and you are not a pervert for enjoying it.
Do not let others dictate you what you can and can not do legally. If you like an activity, then do it. If you enojy something do not let someone who does not tell you you should be embarrased.
