Of course porn is good for us...

Getting rid of MSB reduces the risk of prostate cancer and all

Welcome to 2010 Mamabeth. Better start getting use to it. It is not going to change anytime soon.

Well i know masterbation is actually healthy, so porn must go hand in hand.

For those who think it's soley a religious based arguement - hold your hat on because i (an atheist) see porn as a destructive thing.

Okay in some ways it can quell an urge, but in others it can grow other urges (to see worse and worse stuff).

I'm not ignorant, i've seen porn but i've also seen how degenerate it has become over the last twenty years.

And when you hear stories about Ukranian and Polish prostitues forced into porn against their will 'and pretend they are enjoying it' or being locked in rooms and forced to drink dog urine as punishment for 'not enjoying it' - then the whole thing becomes rather repulsive.

What about Brazillian scat movies?, sure the people involved may be getting paid a few thousand dollars (usually because its more than they can earn in a year) - but it does not mean they enjoy it. In fact what psychological damage will it leave?

Then the video gets circulated and a hardcore group of sick bastards then get their rocks off over the video, because they are socially inept / unable to be stimulated by the normal means of the last few hundred thousand years.

Their urge grows until they wish to watch more and more of this filth, and then more girls get dragged into this stuff. And repeat.

Also don't forget that a society that wishes for more and more extreme stuff will eventually hit a brick wall.

These are my thoughts.

and in those countries that allowed for the possession of child pornography, child sex abuse has declined.

I think this statement in the article is just ridiculous and disgusting. Isn't child porn itself child sex abuse? WTF is their logic in this? I'm disturbed by this statement and makes me doubt the credibility of the whole article. It just pisses me off...seems like they are trying to justify it.

In my view porn is great......but should be handled with care!!

Children can get a wrong idea about relationships and reality if they are introduced to porn at a too early age. I have no idea about what age a person must be before it can understand what porn really is and about.

We all know that there are adult peolpe addicted to porn and must, like a drug, under go treatment.

Again,...in my opinion porn can be great pass-time but should be handled with care and controlled dosis.......

Porn is good. Sex is good.

The linking between sex and guilt is false. It is used to control you and make you feel guilty for thinking about, looking at, and engaging in sex. A long time ago, the elite discovered they could control the masses through their sex organs and the emotion of guilt. The Sex Scam has been running full steam ever since, robbing millions of sexual enjoyment.

Sex is the reason people exist. It is definitely not bad.

"Porn" is a broad term that spans a large spectrum and like anything else, where one falls on the spectrum will determine what one views is acceptable or not. It also can help shape what is healthy adult sexual behavior and what is not. If the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred to the point it interferes with life, than there is an individual problem.

Consent, not violence and forced participation is a crucial consideration in the debate and while there are many who are actors/participants because they choose to be, there are many (if not more) who did not choose....

In my opinon there is nothing at all wrong with porn.

Yes, there exists brutal porn and discraced porn, but that is the sex trade/human trafficin industry, which IS completly wrong and should be delt with a serious mannor. These porn video's however, are not availible on sites, but will be on such software as P2P's and possibly some torrents.

Any legit pornography goes through legal treatment. From a signed agreement from the actors, and a review on hardcore pornography that it is legal and not torture ect.

Reading these posts however, yes you all do bring up certain key points into why it is bad, but none the less, its like everything else that humans enjoy, it has a dark side.

If you only focus on this dark side, what sort of porn have you watched?! There is loads of porn that is not hard, called "soft core".Porn that does not even have sexual acts, strippin for example is still pornography. Many pornstars also, they are porn stars because THEY like the sex life, it is THEIR choice, and it is the viewers choice to watch.

As for lowering the image of women, once again that is just the porn that you have witnessed. The women, yes in cases, are treated in-humainly, as are the men, etc etc, but you have to agree that they agreed to go into this industry and they know what is sometimes involved. Boxers get hurt when they play their sport, should they stop boxing because no one should have to be getting injured that badly at their work place??

I think people need to adress the matters of porn with a completly open mind. Yes, there are bad area's, just like any industry, but does not mean it is bad for us.

And as for the bit at the end of the article on child pornography, now that is wrong. Any participants in pornography must be of an age of full development and inderpendant in their own choice. This i believe needs to be sorted out more than they are trying. This is the human trafficking i was talking about earlier, which is home to the majority of the abuse people see in pornography.

As a man, I started looking at porn since I began flirting with puberty, and can honestly say it was helpful for the most part:

-I learned LOTS of things to do to impress lovers - and vice versa, speaking of a particular couple of ex's...WOW they were awesome! And my wife, of course

-I learned just as many NOT to do...sheesh

-It kept expectations about myself to a realistic level...I mean, some of those guys are too blessed not to show off in show biz..they got picked up at audition for a reason.

-Kept me from bar-hopping and probably from contracting AIDS in the middle of an epidemic.

I never neglected a lover over a porn addiction - thats retarded. When a picture/ movie is better than the real thing...? Not in my world.

Those who can't handle it need to go to mamas church and purge themselves...for the rest of us, enjoy!
