age of consent and porn

I've got a lot on my plate, and I was wondering what I was going to do to keep the "National Masturbation Month" theme going, when Lyn linked to Should Girls Gone Wild get older?, a response to Garance Franke-Ruta's modest proposal to raise the age of consent for appearing in erotic images from 18 to 21.

But once again we need to look to where the damage is really coming from. Is the long-term damage coming from appearing in these videos, or is it coming from the cultural response to the act? If so, is trying to further stigmatize female sexual expression going to do more damage, or less?
