Unless they're forced to do things that they feel threaten them, then it is no way in hell explotable, and legally that would fall under extortion anyway. I have no problem with people in Pornography, because quite frankly it's a viable method of making a lot of money. Besides, money makes the world go round, right?

First and foremost, it is almost always a girls choice whether to do this kind of thing or not (girls gone wild or not also). The fact is, if you know what's happening around you and you do it anyway, then its your own fault. So I think mostly no on this. Because its not like they don't get paid, not that I claim to know wages or anything for this thing, but even if professionals weren't producing these, amatuers would anyhow. So all in all, you can't stop it. If they choose to be exploited, so be it. But its all in the eye of the beholder.

It's rather naive stance to assume that all or even most women involved in the porn industry are responsible for being there. That aside, the conditions of this field are ghastly, and if somehow you manage to cast all that away, it still amounts to harmful sexualization. You should look around more before forming such impotent and inappropriately mild opinions about a subject of which you do not comprehend.

Seeing multiple comments along the lines of "No it does not as women do it voluntarily) reminds me of something I recently discussed with a fellow friend of mine. I reside in Canada and the Canadian people had committed some racist crimes towards first nations people. Now, many Canadians (and immigrants) sit around and complain about how the native people sit around not paying their taxes and being alcoholics. However, nobody asks why they may be doing that (even though the majority isn't). If people are living naturally, and people whom are not living naturally come along and enslave, rape and murder the natural people, the remaining people will behave differently than they would have growing up in their natural state.
Society in itself causes people to behave in certain ways. Society is the exact reason for why more people are depressed, poor, sexist, racist, ignorant, unintelligent and etcetera. Although I cannot speak for these women (or men) in the pornographic industry, but I can certainly say that the pornographic industry's main focus is on women and women alone. "Sex sells" only because of women. Women, in our society, naturally are expected to either be the loving wives that stay home and take care of the children, or be the whores of society. There isn't an in-between if you really observe society's behavior.

Respectfully, I must say that the starter of this topic does make a very good point that the women are the ones consenting to this exposure. But then again, think about this: what gender do you associate with porn? Most people will probably answer that by saying, "Women." In all honesty, the selected porn video could very well star two gay men for all we know. This prompts me to ask the question of why is porn so associated with women? Well, women are more commonly seen in porn than men. Attractive women who aren't shy about their bodies are looked to for parts in these videos. History itself lends itself to this as well. Even back in the ancient times, women were sexualized in the form of female fertility gods. The resounding over-sexualization of females has lasted long into every period of time before our current society, albeit changing forms over the centuries to adapt to current technologies. Unfortunately for us women, it will likely last long into the future. So, in conclusion, I say that pornography does exploit women's bodies, and that the industry is just a smaller piece of a larger picture of female sexualization all over the world, spanning the course of humanity's cultural time.
