Objectivist On Pornography

Questions about Objectivism
1

My question pertains to pornography and the Objectivist stance on it. For what I gather the idea is to do things out of self interest which watching porn would be, however, watching porn is purely body and doesn’t seem to involve the mind though I may be wrong, and Ayn Rand doesn’t believe in the split between mind and body, there in lies my question.

 

Thanks,

In what way is porn a “split” between mind and body? Porn actors are obviously people with minds of their own, you have a mind, both you and them have a sex drive… What specifically do you mean?
