I agree. But then I regard sex as something wonderful and not as something evil. If I find someone beautiful, how can that be considered a form of disrespect?
Cute.

Because pornography reduces a human being to the status of mere meat. People are not consumer products to be used and thrown aside.
Erotica and pornography are two different things. Eroticism (the expression of eros, a form of love) is a subject-oriented esthetiic experience based upon one's admiration of all aspects of another person -- her charm, her beauty, etc. Pornography is an object-oriented sensual experience based upon one's sexual passions toward a woman's body alone. Admiring a woman's beauty is not the same as lusting after her body; the first sees the whole person, the latter, a collection of parts. Pornography reduces some father's daughter to the status of take-away fried chicken -- a certain amount of "breasts and thighs" to be had for a price. I fail to see how this practice enobles the human spirit or enhances our civilization or its culture.
