Pornography is used in a society for the same reason that religion is used in a society. Both are forms of lust: one physical and the other spiritual. And both are simply means of managing people, one with the pleasures of the flesh and the other with the pleasures of faith.
Both are equally as seductive in the ideas they offer, since the physical lust that seduces the body is no less potent a drug than the spiritual lust that seduces the mind. In fact, that spiritual lust for perfection through the mind is today doing far more damage through the pseudo-scientific religions of economics and politics and race, than Christianity ever did through its pseudo-spiritualism. Indeed, the new religions and the new gods are doing it even more effectively than the old religions and gods, of the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans: that trinity of mythologies that seduced the minds of Europe with the apple of Christianity.
Religion is used to convince people that things are "true" if you simply "believe" they are. From invisible friends called "saints" and "angels" to a personal savior named "Jesus"who puts divine insights into their heads as a reward for simply "believing" he does, believers simply "believe" that their "beliefs" entitle them to an eternal paradises of every degree imaginable. They also believe that anyone who is dumb and blind enough to doubt such beliefs necessarily true, deserves no less than a horrible death followed by an eternity of torture.
And pornography, an ideal of sex that drips with as much carnal lust as the spiritual narcissist has for their own eternal soul, draws us into a fantasy as potentially as violent and devoid of love as is so often the case with religion, with both relying on the nomenclature of love. And the people who produce the one are the very same people who produced the other. Both, after all, are simply different means of controlling a people, by both keeping them equally distracted from reality, and hiding from the people who condemn it on Sunday that they are the same ones who consume it throughout the rest of the week, and buying both from the very same kind of people, who are simply offering us two sides of the same seductive deception.
