Dear Pogi,

First, I'm sorry for my ambiguous statement -"The problem with pornography is not its inhumanity....": I see that it could be understood as if I claimed that pornography is inhuman, where in fact the opposite is true. In context, I simply meant that "the problem with pornography is different than proposed", but I was wrong to assume that it will be understood this way.

Yes, Homo sapiens sapiens is an animal and as an integral part of nature is incapable of doing anything "unnatural". If you conceive of yourself as one of those animals, then it would seem to you as if you also are similarly incapable.

Imagine a perfectly clean and transparent sheet of glass. Now place a yellow flower behind it: the glass looks yellow, then place a blue flower behind it and the glass will look blue, but in truth the glass has no colour at all and was never affected by the change of flowers.

Similarly, while we live through a human body, it's as if we placed a human behind that transparent glass so we tend to see ourselves as human - when that human is young, you think "I am young" and when that human is old you think "I am old". If you were indeed human, then are you this young-human or that old-human?

You are neither! You can tell apart the animal through which you seem to operate because yourself you have no properties, such as colour, to obstruct and override the vision of the animal behind the glass. Yet this animal is, metaphorically speaking, "behind" you, it's not you, yet you falsely identify with it.

Pornography is one, but just one among many things which keeps alive this false identification with one's body. It is part and parcel of the human nature, whereas the identification with this human nature is what keeps us in bondage and suffering.
