I suppose this explains why porn sales, and crack and speed and heroin sales, are so big.

Yes, it does. It also explains why it is futile to try to eliminate those things that so many people value so much, and which are so hard to fight because the distribution of them is by far among people who are not harmed by them.

Regards porn sales:

"Yes, it does. It also explains why it is futile to try to eliminate those things that so many people value so much, and which are so hard to fight because the distribution of them is by far among people who are not harmed by them."

Porn harms the actors (ask Johnny Holmes), it harms the patrons (ask Gary Bishop), it can harm uninvolved victims (ask the children Bishop defiled and then killed), it harms society (ask the spouses of the porn addicts) and it degrades the neighbors of the sleaze businesses that sell porn.

One example (above) comes from Gary Bishop, convicted homosexual pedophile who murdered five young boys in Salt Lake City, Utah, in order to conceal his sexual abuse of them. He wrote in a letter after his conviction: "Pornography was a determining factor in my downfall… For me, seeing pornography was lighting a fuse on a stick of dynamite… My conscience was desensitized and my sexual appetite entirely controlled my actions."
