Porn damnit!

[spaceman]

ahh porn is ok if your bored.

 

[Insane3D]

I don't like living in a world where six year old kids can watch near naked women on TV easily?

So, exactly what harm is done when a younger child sees another person naked, or partially naked? I've never understood this.

 

[Cooler]

porn is fine as long as it does not run your life.

 

[D1gger]

I have no problem with porn on the net, but it should restricted to domains such as *.xxx or something else that could be easily identified.

What is you definition of "obsessed." Sex is a natural biological act.

Is the nude body that disturbing to you? If so, take some responsibility and turn off your TV.

It's rammed down our throats too much.

:shiftyeyes;

I think that sex is a part of love and needs to be seen and celebrated for that, but we teenagers need to be left to discover it. We need to be allowed to discover the different intimacies of whatever.

So you've abandoned practicality and rational thinking for romanticism of an act? How original.

We shouldn't be seeing some porn star do something and then think 'Should I be doing that during sex?'.

Why not?

Sex education should stay of course and the contraception message needs to be increased but I don't think that people should have all this eroticism surrounding them all the time. It takes the magic etc out of it.

There is no such thing as "magic," you realize?

Heck, I'm coming to the conclusion that the 'stereotypical' attractive woman image that most teenage males is only held because it's been pushed onto them.

You don't say?

If they thought about it enough it wouldn't appear attractive. S'what happened to me. I find it disturbing that this 'ideal' woman touted by a load of porn circles is basically a pre-pubescent girl with huge breasts (lack of pubic hair etc). We should be allowed to make up our own minds from scratch about what we think is attractive.

Odd. My wife, whom I love and enjoy sex with, looks nothing like this 'ideal' woman that you feel porn stars portray. Maybe we "do" make up out own minds. Those of us who have long passed puberty, at least.

Kids are being pushed to become sexual too young IMO, we ARE growing up too fast in that respect, I don't think it's right in society that I can have 11yr old kids yell at me insulting and disgustingly intimate questions pertaining to my girlfriend and I.

Uhh.. did you have some bad incident you want to discuss?

But still, I don't think it's really that harmful to most people and I'm a huge advocate of free choice so people should do whatever they want. Whether it's looking at porn or not. I just choose not to and dislike the porn industry in general.

So.. ignore everything you just said above? Ok.

With a SO = much better

It is just a substitue for guys not getting sex or enough. MOST guys WILL NOT GET ENOUGH SEX EITHER WAY. VERY VERY few guys will get enough sex for them. It is a very primal instinct for a guy to 'want' sex. If guys did not want sex the world end within a a few hundred years...true it can be in addition to a relationship but you know you want real sex anyway

Just don't let it ruin your life.

In this respect, the US has more in common with Muslim countries than with Europe. Porn is so titillating because it's hidden and shunned. We can't look at a woman's breasts without buying a magazine wrapped in plastic and hidden on the top shelf. We make it sordid by creating a mystique of elicitness. In France, where I lived for a little while, nudity was more common but less shocking.

We all have bodies, and most of us have sex so why is it considered so awful to see them both? As someone said, as long as it doesn't control your life, I see no harm in it. I also think most men can differentiate between porn stars and real women, unless they are also making themselves feel very inadequate watching the horse hung male porn stars.

do you want to see people having sex in public? there is such a thing as decency. i don't care whether people watch porn, even though it is my opinion that you shouldn't (and yes i've watched tons and tons of porn, i'm not perfect). i agree with the life controlling part, as that would cause a huge problem in relationships.

however, i don't agree with it... i think it's bad. i think that it gives girls who were abused as kid an unhealthy outlet. it also desensitizes people to the joys, thrills, and feeling of exclusiveness during sex.

hey, i'm a hypocrit on this issue... i know i am. at least i've got the balls to say it rather than try to justify it.

You really believe that girls who were abused as a child are going to go out and find some alternative to doing porno if porno wasnt around? You dont think they might just slut around?

i never implied that. what i was trying to say is that there's something wrong about getting your jollies from a girl who got the way she is because she was abused as a kid. rather than sort out her problems constructively and see a therapist, she resorted to porn. that's not to say that ALL pornstars were abused or that all abused people end up in porn.

as for people who were abused and couldn't get into porn, sure... they'd probably end up being sluts or junkies or whatever, but at least it's not plastered all over society to readily and progressively desensitize people to sex.

 

[Rage187]

Well I got through to my 20's before the internet really took off in the form it is now.

So I'm not sure where i stand other then I know it's bad and it stems from ritual abuse these girls endured. But as noted above by another member I'm also a hypocrite and look nonetheless.

Who cares about decency? It's a free country after all

because a decadent society will destroy itself?

 

[dawnbug]

I've never really had a problem with porn. I used to read some erotica, and my SO and I have watched porn together on occasion. I only like porn in very limited quantities, though, for myself. I don't mind if my SO looks at it when I'm away for the weekend or something, but I think I'd be offended if he were more interested in porn than me when I was around.

Oh, I think it's gross for people to look at porn on shared computers, though. That just kinda creeps me out.

i think america is uptight about the human body and mature stuff. Take example moves in the UK. Our R movies are their 13-15 movies.

 

[mzkhadir]

[CalvinHobbs]

[mzkhadir]

Ever been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans?

In any event, nowhere in my post did I say anything about public sex. When I mentioned public displays, I was talking about tasteful displays of nudity in advertisements or even sunbathing in a public park or beach (topless women). There's nothing inherently indecent about sex between consenting adults, unless you were raised by parents who told you it was shameful. THAT attitude is more harmful than watching porn by a longshot.

 

[BD231]

I'd say porn probably prevents a good deal of rape in the country. It's just another outlet for sexual frustration/desire IMO.

Dose it desensitize? Only if you've never been in love. I think anyone who has been in love knows porn is nothing but a private form of entertainment. Purely an outlet.

There may be those few kids who get hold of it to early, but if they don't grasp the concept of intimacy later in life I'd have a lot of trouble blaming that on porn. You can't say a man would treat a lady as a piece of meat by watching it because most ladies out there want the same thing men do.

Overall you're asking if it creates character defects right? I *personally* don't think it dose.

"Decency" and "modesty" in this context are nothing more than cultural affectations taught to us by a society that is for some strange reason ashamed of sexuality and the human body.
