most importantly, morality is an awesome tool to judge people and the norms to do so are established. the basic ones are stuff like my parents would be unhappy, god hates me, ryan knox's genetic material just swam up my womb. etc.

the rest are associative or relative to experience and societal norms

-i haven't commodified myself yet.

- identifying yourself as a product is degrading.

-identifying yourself as a consumer is empowering. go to a lexus dealership and take over three test drives and be really annoying about asking questions and realize people are degrading themselves by humoring you long after they should have if you weren't a consumer.

-i haven't set a price on who i'd have sex with or whether you get to see me do it. at some level, if i asked for 3.5 million for my first softcore solo scene, isn't that saying i'm more valuable than someone who'll do it for $400?

-the most-visible hookers have bad teeth and stand in traffic without warm clothing when all the good tv is on. you're kind of a hooker if sex is your job.

-yeast-infections are degrading. we're the most-evolved species on the planet so being a human bread-machine is gay.

-unless you're a savage or in a communal prison shower, you're not naked in front of strangers all the time.

-it means you're not homeless if nobody sees you having sex. you've got a place to go other than a park filled with hobos.

-i don't masturbate in public. creepy people do. you're associated with creepy people by doing it.

-if i had an std, i could still go to work for someone other than brandon's employers.

-privacy is a luxury worth 20-million in the hamptons so that you're not seen in a bathing suit. it's worth a million for a celeb not to let people see them naked in photos. spread your asshole for 500? that's like saying you're the burger king of humans.

it's good to feel good and looking down on others makes you feel good.
