I would not have reinstated you in your post, your philosophy goes against everything that is taught within this subject.
The physical and mental dangers of a career in the sex industry are not to be advocated to anyone least of all children. The 'scraps' of evidence he refers to are well documented studies that are still ongoing relating to the effect porn has on the attitudes teens have towards sex and their perception of sex and intimacy.

I also found this quote a little contradictory...
''Anyone under the age of 18 viewing pornography in the UK is doing so illegally. I would not condone them doing so. However, I do not see that viewing sexual intercourse, or witnessing nudity, poses any threat or danger to that child. If anything, exposure to the realities of sex and nudity and living in a society where we are happy to discuss such issues openly makes for a safer and healthier environment for young people''

What a pathetic attempt to justify something that most parents actively try everyday to protect their children from?

I don't really see that as contradictory. He's saying that he doesn't see the problem with teens getting exposure to this, but doesn't support them doing anything illegal. It's like if I said I like pork and think that there isn't anything wrong with eating it, but if it's against your religion I don't think you should eat it.
