Why is it not shameful to consume pornography alone in the privacy of your own dwelling whereas it is shameful to perform degrading sexual acts with complete strangers on camera for the world to see? Is that really a question that any rational person could take seriously?

Furthermore I contend that if "the bully" were to take the producer up on his offer, he would not become a hypocrite. Firstly he is doing it very publicly, with the foreknowledge that his identity will likely be used as a selling point. Secondly, it is a conquest for a man, because they must demonstrate a high value in terms of sexual potency and appearance in order to be selected for such a role. In this case he is being selected for his marketing value as a high profile individual at the moment. Conversely, it is a shame for a woman because she must simply be willing, she has done nothing of any particular merit and presents no particular value beyond her willingness to participate. Thus, he has nothing to hide or be shameful of.
