It is neither a boon nor a curse. Vulgarity is vulgarity. Some group of people will always be attracted to it. Just as other will be drawn to classical music and fine art. To me the real question is for the sake of free speach how far do we allow vulgarity to spread and how low do we allow it to go before we as a society decide to put some reasonable limit on it. But there in lies the problem as well, who gets to decide what the limit should be and where it should be set. So it is a problem that will never go away. But then again in the correct time and place it can also be quite entertaining.

Actually, vulgar words are only considered to be vulgar because at some point in time people began to use them as slang for something other than their original definition. Then some group of uppity people who didn't want to hear them decided they were vulgar and eventually that became the norm and thus made those words less than desirable by society as a whole.
Think about it, why else is it ok to say poop, poo, poopy, crap, maneuer, feces....yet **** is not ok, when it means the exact same thing.
BTW, an *** was and still is a donkey...lol

Is society worse now than back when there was less vulgarity in film?
You might think the answer is yes, but in fact, it is no. Things were worse in the past, but the bad news didn't get around so easily as it does today, so it just seems like things were better.

Your premise is incorrect. Vulgarity in film does not work. The 10 highest grossing films of all time were rated no more than PG-13. The 1st "R" rated movie on the list is "The Passion of the Christ" at #11 which, of course, was rated "R" for violence and gore.The next "R" movie is "Troy" #45.
In the face of these facts, your question is without merit.

A curse; can you tell me of ANY film that was noticeably improved because of d*** or f**** or s*** in the dialogue because the scriptwriter or the actor couldn't think of anything else to say? Some directors say their films are just a reflection of the society and times they're made in, but that goes both ways.

In society today the words are used with such frequency that the power they used to represent is absent. I would suggest it is neither a boon nor curse - it is benign now

It's part of modern society can you imagine a supposed gangster film with no violence, swearing or sex. Wouldn't make a very realistic film.
The problem is should we be making films that require this type of vulgarity.

While most of us like it but it's not a boon rather a curse.
