I hardly think those things are equal. If there's no moral stigma to everyone knowing a person frequents a porn shop then where's the problem?

Have you ever entered a bar or liquor shop? How'd you like some moral crusader to snap your picture when you do it and put it in the local paper. Do you smoke? The best prices are ussually at the smoke shops. How'd you like someone to take your picture entering there? Most of them also sell drug paraphenalia and pornography.

Personally I'm a nonsmoking teetotaler, but I'd object to those same tactics being used at either a smoke shop or a tavern too. If my picture were taken going into a sexshop and later publicized, I'd be pretty pissed off about it since I'd view it as an invasion of my privacy, but I wouldn't be terribly ashamed by it. Anyone that knows me, including my wife, knows that I'm anything but a prude.

Elmer, you are too sensible:)

Um. People smoke and drink in public. It doesn't carry the same stigma as porn does. Although they're trying with tobacco. At any rate, if someone believes it's embarrassing to be "caught" at a porn shop, isn't that a hint they believe it's wrong? Then they believe they are doing something wrong.

I'd object to those same tactics being used at either a smoke shop or a tavern too.

People would laugh about it as that behaviour isn't normally considered on par with porn.
