In a 2013 interview with Salon, Paglia shared her thoughts on contemporary porn. “I continue to support and defend pornography, which I believe exposes the deepest, darkest truths about sexuality,” she said. “As an industry, pornography also helps to rebalance the modern psyche: middle-class workers are trapped with their tyrannical machines at home and office. Pornography, with its surging animal energies and guiltless display of the body, brings the flame of organic nature into that mineral wasteland.” Paglia said she sees porn as a “classic example of ever-controversial unregulated capitalism – the market automatically responding to individual needs and desires”.

On September 19, 1991, Paglia published an essay entitled 'Crisis In The American Universities', in which she defended herself from accusations of being a neoconservative by listing the degeneracy that she adamantly supports, including "kiddie porn": "I'm someone who is on the record as being pro-pornography--all the way through kiddie porn and snuff films. I'm pro-prostitution--I mean really pro, not just pro-prostitute and against prostitution. I'm pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-drag queens, pro-legalization of drugs. This is neoconservative?"
In the October 1991 issue of Esquire magazine, Paglia stated that she sees pedophilia to be "perfectly natural": "Worldwide, in Greece and Rome as in the Near East, China, and Japan, pretty boys have usually been considered by men to be as sexually desirable as women. This seems to me perfectly natural. Judeo-Christianity is unusual in finding the practice of boy-love abhorrent." This essay of hers was later republished in her 1992 book 'Sex, Art, and American Culture'.
In a 1992 interview with Time magazine, Paglia proudly reminded the interviewer of how offensive her book 'Sexual Personae' is, listing her support for both child pornography and snuff films among the reasons why people might find it offensive: "I am proabortion, pro the legal use of drugs, pro pornography, child pornography, snuff films."

In accordance with a highly politicised view of child abuse, Paglia notably commented in an interview in 1992: "In the case of Sinead O'Connor, child abuse was justified". This was her response to the singer's action on Saturday Night Live, where she tore up a picture of the pope in protest of the unfolding child sexual abuse scandal surrounding the Catholic Church.[83] In 1993, Paglia signed a manifesto supporting NAMBLA, a pederasty and pedophilia advocacy organization.[84][85] In 1994, Paglia supported lowering the legal age of consent to 14. She noted in a 1995 interview with pro-pedophile activist Bill Andriette, "I fail to see what is wrong with erotic fondling with any age."[86][87] In a 1997 Salon column, Paglia expressed the view that male pedophilia correlates with the heights of a civilization, stating "I have repeatedly protested the lynch-mob hysteria that dogs the issue of man-boy love. In Sexual Personae, I argued that male pedophilia is intricately intertwined with the cardinal moments of Western civilization."[85] Paglia noted in several interviews, as well as Sexual Personae, that she supported the legalization of certain forms of child pornography.[88][89][86]
