Edit: I should preface this by saying I am approaching the question from the perspective of whether or not it is ethical due to the systemic abuse of women in the industry.

I have mixed feelings and would argue professional porn is, at least as it exists in the here and now, is completely exploitative on a systemic level.

If we move past that and limit the confines of the question to amateur/self-owned type paid porn: I would say it requires a society with healthy sex-ed in order for people to have a healthy relationship with porn on a societal level.

On the individual level, context matters a lot.

Personally, I think it should be temporarily banned until we fix the social problems that drive people into it.

I know it sucks for the people who have a healthy and consensual relationship with the industry, but as it is now sucks worse for the people who get exploited and abused.

Not only women are abused. Men and envy actors are harmed aswell. Basically most 'low level' people in the industry are, even porn stars. The ones pulling the strings are well off.

Good point, it’s less prevalent but still a huge thing. I only say this due to all the stories about “studios” that are basically abuse rings made by the men acting in the videos. There’s some fucked up shit going on in that industry.
