@EnglishChannel1 Porn Use to be Erotic and Enjoyable it was back in the 80s and 90s Basic ans Vanilla,Vivid Entertainment and Wicked Pictures are tryin to keep Porn Classy,Erotic and Vanilla like its suppose to be and they also use plenty or Condoms,what Vivid puts out is just a rawer version of somthing u would see on the Playboy Channel, its Gonzo Porn that is Filthy and degrading Circus Sex which needs to go.

This Steve Hirsch guy is trying to convince himself more than anyone else that porn is not bad. If its so ordinary why doesn't he get his daughter to do it? Porn is bad and he knows it. Since when has it EVER been respectable for a young woman to rent out her body for sex, and have lots of people watch her get fucked? This guy will spend till the end of his life trying to convince himself that porn is 'normal'. Hey Steve, why not get your daughter or sister to pursue 'this wonderful career'?
