Some Mormons are getting the whorehouse, or rather, a convenient, mediated form of it. Victorianism kept women as objects. Objects that belonged either on a pedastal (where only men could place and remove them) or in the whorehouse (because they were sexual and therefore dirty). Victorianism objectified women and in that sense it dovetails easily with both pornography and the mutually reinforcing tendencies of prudishness and perversion.
