It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don’t seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

    It feels like people only watch pornography in order to satisfy their sexual desires by viewing someone sexually from an external position, while people watch violent shows to feel the thrills of the person from an internal point of view.

      I hard disagree with the second of those feelings. I can only speak for myself, but while I watch pornography to satisfy my sexual desire, I in no way “feel the thrills” of violent shows. Violence is a very unimportant part of a piece of media IMO, I could care less if a piece is violent. I indulge in violent media if I like it as a whole, not to fulfill a desire to feel the thrill of violence.
