The core question is how is moderate porn different from prostitution? Most of those against porn are probably against prostitution too, and prostitution is not new or novel. History proves that prostitution is good for society. Those against prostitution are just morons.
Porn is a substitute for sex, but it's a poor substitute that will never motivate men to stop pursuing and pandering to vile modern women. Porn use is no more problematic than masturbation, though.
The main problem with porn is that it allows prostitutes to make money without having to have sex with clients, which means the pool of prostitutes willing to provide sex is shrinking. In the past, a prostitute had to provide clients with sex in order to make money. Today, all she has to do is create an OnlyFans or PornHub account, film herself having sex with Chads, and wait for men to pay in order to watch it. The last decade has proven that even though porn is freely available online, lots of men will still pay for it.
Prostitution is still illegal or restricted in most Western countries. Even in a country like Germany where prostitution is legal, there still are a lot of restrictions on it, and it's illegal to have sex with a prostitute without a condom. In some Asian and Latin American countries, there are also far more restrictions on prostitution than there should be.
If buying sex were destigmatized and prostitution were easily available, modern women would lose their near total control over the commodity of sex, and that's something that both feminists and conservatives want to prevent from happening at all cost. The current restrictions and bans on prostitution perpetuate the stigma on paying for sex and keep prices high by keeping supply out of the market.
My position is that prostitution should be completely deregulated. Street prostitution should be allowed everywhere except on private property. Prostitutes should be allowed to solicit customers everywhere. That's the only way to reduce the ridiculous amount of social power that women have in modern society. When men will have a much better alternative being dangled right in front of them every single day, they will realize that modern women are garbage and shouldn't be pandered to.
