Letter: Vital issue of sex trade

Nigel Hastilow (April 19) acknowledged fully what has been said many times about the negative effects of pornography on attitudes towards women.

Published

Porn is one tendril of the sex industry. This male sub-culture encompasses lads' mags, lap dancing clubs, pornography and prostitution, which are all interconnected through the sale of women's bodies.

However, Nigel misses the most vital point: the sex industry is unique in dividing men and women into separate groups of consumers and commodities. We should be addressing our social attitudes rather than reinforcing and supporting the concept and existence of a sex industry.
