One genre of porn (though not all genres of it) does exploit the 
concept of shame: a "Good Girl in a Compromised Position"; an 
"Innocent Pretty Schoolgirl Violated by an Evil Ugly Man"; etc.  (Why 
the male viewer would want to take the place of the Evil Ugly Man -- 
as opposed to a Good Handsome Man -- vicariously is an interesting 
question.)  Perhaps this genre will disappear when the majority of 
people in the world cease to associate sex & sexuality with guilt & 
shame.
