La Belle Noiseuse vs. Pornography? Um... could be and over extended attempt at comparison. Could work if you would address the French sensibilities. To the French, sexualiy is just another aspect of life and sensuality is a way of life. There is the spiritual, the physical and the intellectual which comprise a healthy individual. Think of the greatest mind in history (in your opinion), can you imagine them having sex? Why or why not will determine your own balance of the three.
As for treating women like objects, prostitution is not called "the worlds oldest profession" for no reason. There will always be women willing to engage themselves as sexual objects, there always have been.
But there hasn't always been video and dvd to record and disseminate the acts.

I don't have much opinion on prostitution but I don't really like the concept much, and what goes on... I feel sorry for women in that position, it must be a shit life....
but there's other guys who think the same, I'm sure, even if they don't say it.
moving on.... but yeah the Bible actually has stuff in it about how sex is supposed to be good (mainly the whole book of song of solomon is devoted to that lol) also there are still some people who believe sex is to be used only for the creation of kiddies, but once again it would be a small minority...And yeah, the song of Solomon is odd . . . one of the biggest questions in my literature class on the Bible was "How did erotica get to be put in the middle of the Bible--and a whole book of it, too!"
