Pornography

[Erienne]

It's true that most porn stars do it willingly, but I can't see the allure of having sex with different people every day and possibly getting a horrible STD.

About 97% of these women posing for pornographic pictures are held at gunpoint, and it can be anywhere. The majority of the time is by force.

I'm surprised you can say you are against porn when you can pull something that huge out of your arse.

Care to back up that absolutely outrageous claim with some sources?

PlayBoy is an exception (as far as I know), as they're being paid to pose for men to ogle at them on pages.

Yeah, that'd be the point of porn. They're doing it consensually. If they want to pose in the buff for the people who read Playboy, let them.

I have hatred for porn and sympathy for the women. They know they're showing themselves off for millions of strangers. They know that what they're doing may disgrace their parents if they ever came across it.

They know what they're doing and do it anyway. Why? Probably because they want to. Them being forced into it is a completely different problem. Porn usually =/= human trafficking.

Pornography is disgusting, and is dangerous because of how addicting it is.

People who are getting addicted to porn likely have bigger problems.

Married men addicted to this trash end up divorced because their wives feel betrayed.

Don't make generalizations. There are plenty of couples who watch porn together. If one of them felt betrayed, you'd think they'd speak up. If the wife has a problem with porn, it's the husband's fault for ignoring her problem with it and looking at it anyway. The porn didn't hold a gun to his head and say "WATCH ME DAMMIT".

Also MEN ARE NEVER IN PORNOS AND WOMEN NEVER WATCH PORNOS. TRUFAX GUYS. (end sarcasm)

Back when our parents were in school, they knew it existed, but it wasn't very wide-spread and it was seldom heard of. Nowadays with the Internet, it's everywhere you look.

Everything is everywhere you look because of the internet.

Pornography is the second most looked at on the World Wide Web, believe it or not, and about 85% or more of the pictures on the web are porn.

Who cares how much of what on the internet is porn? Avoid that 85% then.

And it's sad that brief images of this are starting to leak onto regular television, and not stay on late-late-night cable shows like it should.

God, parents would be bringing torches and pitchforks if porn was shown on regular television hours. A quick shot of a breast or something =/= porn.

It's very serious, especially when children are involved. These are things kids should not be exposed to at such an age.

So do a better job keeping your kids away from it if you're so worried about it.

Actually, it's a thing no one should be exposed to at all.

this whole post

I've seen what it does to families, and a huge rift comes between them immediately upon discovery.

What kind of family is so loose-knit that one member jerking his beef (or the female equivalent) to something sends everything to hell?

And it takes a really long time for that trust to come back between the person who has the addiction, and the affected family members.

What kind of trust has been broken?

I TRUSTED YOU NEVER TO STROKE YOUR MEATPOLE YOU HAVE SULLIED OUR GOOD NAME

Holy crap, you act like masturbating's going to bring the apocalypse or something.

ESPECIALLY if that person has sisters.

The hell do sisters have to do with this.

But that trust only comes back if the person finds counselling and breaks the habit and shuns pornography forever.

... Because looking at a naked person will completely traumatize a person forever until a counselor comes in and saves him from his HORRIBLE HORRIBLE act of pleasure.

So, in a way, I find it insulting to women.

And if they do it willingly?

Men who have a desire for such a sick thing needs to go find something else to do, or remember that they have their wives/girlfriends.

Because everyone in the world has a girlfriend/wife.

Where's the pleasure in looking at inanimate, digital pictures on a computer screen

My god. Have you never heard of video?

Kutie Pie, I welcome you to the 19th century.

compared to having alone time with his wife/girlfriend?

Because everyone in the world has a girlfriend/wife.

If you haven't figured out my point of view by now, wow you're dense I feel porn is fine when the people who are involved in the making of it consent. Sure, there are people who are forced into it. That, however, is a completely separate problem, and it's like saying we should ban all types of food because some small number of animals were tortured in the making of some meat.

(By the way, I in no way support or condone animal torture, because I get the feeling someone's gonna jump on me for that comment.)

AND ONE LAST COMMENT BEFORE I POST THIS

It's true that most porn stars do it willingly, but I can't see the allure of having sex with different people every day and possibly getting a horrible STD.

Number one, that's just you. There are clearly people who think differently.

Number two, you'd hope that in such an industry a person would get checked for that kind of thing. Also, I doubt porn stars film a new porno every day.

First off, some do shoot almost every day a week. It's pretty vigorous. And yes, there have been outbreaks of syphilis, chlymedia (sp?) and AIDS in the porn industry.

Yes some do but not many. And yes there has been STD outbreaks but not as much as there could be if they weren't tested to make sure they don't have an STD

 

[J.T.]

See, I'm not in the porn industry, I don't check out stuff like that, I don't know how it works. I'd be willing to bet that if those hours were really bad for the person they'd be willing to quit, or at least cut their hours a bit.

And if there's problems with STDs, get them checked, wear protection, stuff like that. Honestly, how many people are going to be turned off from porn because someone's got a rubber? Half of all porn viewers probably wouldn't notice it anyway.

 

[Ri-Chan]

Yes, It is confirmed that you have a higher chance of getting STD's becuase of the constant and vigorous filming.

 

[Farmermon]

its vigorous, so it prbly causes stress that lowers the immune systems strength which prbly causes the increased risk

I am against pornography generally speaking. BUT humans are animals and once an animal reaches the age it can procreate, testorome builds up and will lead to aggression in the creature until has sexual intercourse or another similar activity ( in this case masturbation ) ( UGGGH that word is horrible!) But by law you cannot have sex until much adter you reach this stage. I do feel that pornography is discriminating towards women though

P.S a small note on hentai: i don't REALLY consider this to be pornography. are those greek statues of men & women having sex porn? NO, they are art and i believe hentai is just art too.

Yes, I believe that a picture of Gardevoir getting raped by Mewtwo is art. [/sarcasm] She'll never be the same in my eyes, those hentai weirdos. *cries*

2 words; Get a Girlfriend...

Anyway: Been there done that. Blah Blah Blah

Please read my first post (the one that's really freaking long) and address my points. And as an addition:

What is wrong with masturbation? It's basically sex with one person. Only the most prudish of people could say they disapprove of it.

Also, the age of sexual consent is different throughout countries and states. Last time I heard, in Canada at least, a person can have sex at 14 with another person around their age (14-15) if both parties consent without duress or outside influence. Dunno if it's still like that or if other countries have similar laws.

That's three words. "A" is a word.

Also some people don't want a girlfriend or wife.

You do realize that, generally speaking, women have less sexual desire then men? And therefor, even in a healthy relationship, some, if not most, men watch porn and masturbate?

And yes, sexually transmittable diseases were a problem for the porn industry in the past. But as far as I know that has been solved, because everyone gets tested before they start making a movie.

And Farmermon, sex is stress reducing, and GOOD for the immune system.

Bull. Sh*t.
And therefor, even in a healthy relationship, some, if not most, men watch porn and masturbate?
Agreed. Especially if the lady has lots' of headaches.

True.

This is why I survive school and only get sick two times a year.

Forget medicines; if you don't want swine flu, masturbate. Free and you don't have to take pills.

...
The women in porn usually get paid more than the men. And there is something like "soft-porn", which some call "women-friendly". Whatever >_>

I HAVETH SPOKEN

 

[ChedWick]

I have a girlfriend, I still watch porn. What normal guy doesn't?

 

[Zenotwapal]

i personally don't give a care, since most of the women on pornographic websites have boob jobs.

I have nothing against it, except child pronography.

Those who own that s**t should die.

Forget medicines; if you don't want swine flu, masturbate. Free and you don't have to take pills.

[Vernikova]

It's okay with me as long as the women and men that are being exposed are okay with it. If it's their choice to let millions of people see their bodies then why shouldn't it be okay.

 

[Profesco]

There is pornography created to satisfy every possible sexual desire imagined: straight, bi, gay, *cough* et cetera *cough*. Simply based on that fact, I don't find pornography discriminatory in the slightest. It's illegal to shoot pornographic films with nonconsenting actors and actresses (and I'd be thoroughly shocked to discover I was wrong in believing that tidbit), so it's safe to assume that all legitimate porn is mutually consented, too.

Incidentally, Kutie Pie, I don't think the others here have responded to your statistic with appropriately level-headed skepticism as much as they did just shouting "NUH-UH!!!" but I also would like some verification for that considerably high percentage you claimed.

As for the right and wrong of pornography, well, I have no judgements to make. If people want to do it, and people want to watch it, that's their own business. And considering the size and success of the adult industry, it's some business indeed! ;P

I do frown at indiscriminate sex, of course. That certainly isn't right by my own standards. And turning such a concept into an industry compounds the problem, one might think. I'm really not quite sure how to think about it yet. Naturally, sex is a part of humanity, so masturbation and pornography are next thing to inevitable... One would just hope it would all be handled safely and respectfully.

I suppose I just don't care about it much as long as it's kept appropriately discreet. As long as everything everywhere isn't porn and people don't just break out masturbating in the rec room on their work breaks or in the middle of family TV time, then live and let live is my chosen response.

My take on it?
Get a girlfriend.

And this should also be considered, I guess. =P

Stop responding in quote boxes, it's a pain to respond to. D:

So.

It's been discovered that masturbation may lower prostate cancer rates. Second source. Third source.

That's the joke genius

Bull.

I fail to see how it was a joke considering a) it's not really funny, and b) it's nearly impossible to tell sarcasm over the Internet unless you outright say it is or make it really obvious.

*Cough*Idiot*Cough

Great way to be tolerant there.
