Personally, I think pornography is wrong and degrading to women, and I don't like people who support it.
So you dislike people just because they watch porn? In what kind of prude society have you been raised? :-(

Bitcoin having things like "bitcoin porn" is not going to make it look better in the eyes of the general public.

Thoughts?
Bitcoin and porn are a perfect match. You can anonymously pay for it without having PORN written all over on a bank transaction. Watching porn is perfectly normal for human beings. If you don't like it, don't watch it but don't hate people just because they play with themself. IMHO it would give the Bitcoin movement a big push if porn sites would accept bitcoins directly. Same for filehosters and mp3 shops.

There was a discussion in some other thread about the VHS vs BetaMax technology fight and how porn was the reason why VHS won the race. It strengthened the VHS distribution.

But how would porn advance the bitcoin cause? Why would anyone tell people they used bitcoin and be branded "that creepy porn buyer"?
