Protection of the habitat as well...

Yes. More and more people are watching porn. Although, there are many genres that treat the subjects in the pornography as equals, some even give the women a stronger role. Not dominitrix or anything, but the ability to say no and to have some control. Many of my friends are into that stuff. Maybe it is the creativity that they thrive on, I'm not sure. The fact is that it is still a falsified reality, but so are books. The genre of eroticism in books have been around for many years now. And with women's sexual revolution and realization of the power of one's own body it is not "unnatural" for women to be curious. This growing independence I do not see to be a bad thing in any way. But the porn that we were talking about in class is not a art, it isn't creative or imaginative in any way. It is exploitation of women, and men in some cases, just as some zoos are exploitating animals. But I think that ecotourism and conservation efforts through sanctuaries for animals are important in reviving the species that human kind has diminished and in many instances destroyed. But the fact is that the habitats have to be protected as well as the animals. Otherwise, what is the point if the animals being protected in captivity have no where to go afterwards?

Acampora only briefly touches on the issue you raise: whether "acceptable, nonexploitative" porn has a counterpart in zoos, and what each would look like. I think it's an interesting question.
