Why is porn a bad thing?

[TrueElements]

Ive talk'd to several people and whn i bring up the topic of porn they think its just sick.it goes like this
Boys-make up fake sex stories
girls-Think its nasty unless their the blond whogets laid daily.

Pretty much what im trying to say in you're own words do you approve or disapprove of porn.
why I ask?The world shall never know.

[ABDUR101]

Who cares? If you enjoy porn, enjoy porn, in all it's forms. If someone doesn't enjoy it, their loss!

It's right down to personal taste, some people can get into it, some can't.

I enjoy porn with another person, right up to sending my own pics and vids and then getting some in return.

Most people's problem with porn is that it objectifies people. Depending on the type of pornography that you watch they may make it so that the people in the movie is not really people. They are merely sexual objects. If the person watches a lot of it and don't really have any other source of information or education they might start to think of people as sexual objects and nothing else.

Now, in moderation, or with a leveled mind I suppose people can enjoy them. I usually find a lot of them funny with the ridiculous scenerios and expectations. Again, with no other source of info, and that if you learn all of your sexual knowledge through porn you are likely to encounter a lot of disappointment in life; might also put an unreachable standard for yourself in your personal life. None of that is healthy. Key is moderation, and many source of info.

Some type of porn that is more into odd fetishes might offend people. I'll be offended with any porn that depicts rape, or mutilation, or things like that.

[Solstis]

Porn belongs to the modern scourge of hyperreality; it protrays sexual encounters that few mortals could dare perform. Balanced or not, porn gives people views of sexual interaction that is basically nonexistent; it is hotter than real sex, and people can become detatched.

I don't think that porn that depicts rape is good, I've noticed a lot of it with straight porn. Watch as women get on their hands and knees to service their betters!

Kinda the same with gay porn. Like, not every gay man is a slut, but online, they all are. Bad for homosexuals prior to joining the "community" and defintely bad for random Republican senators to see. "So this is how they live! Harararhahrahr!"

I still look at porn, but with a pretty guilty conscience. Written porn is not so bad, but the positive side of visual porn (gratification that can be sought elsewhere), is outweighed if you really think about it.

[ABDUR101]

Overall, the key thing to remember is that porn is just as fake as any flick you'd see in a theatre. Right down to the waxed asses. It's scripted, and thus, thats what you get, something merely created to endulge a fantasy.

Realising it's just a fantasy and knowing that you can have more than just standard sex, an actual relationship with someone, another person, is better than anything a porn can dish out.

As navi said, moderation and a level head.

The problem is with realizing that is fantasy. Everyone feels like Bruce Lee after a really good Kung-Fu flick, right? I've seen the affects of too much anime/videogames on the human mind.

I can claim that I know better, but playing videogames all day (and I love to do so) really messes with my brain.

Porn is kinda the same, so an obsession with porn can be really bad.

A libertarian would probably disagree with me though, and say that it's up to the people to decide.

[TheyCallMeJoe]

I think it only becomes a problem when openly introduced. It becomes something of bad manners, so to speak. Nobody wants to hear or see the things that you should be doing privately. If it becomes brought up in the conversation, it's generally ridiculed or quickly discarded, because it makes people feel uncomfortable. That's understandable. I wouldn't exactly want to be having a little chit-chat about porn. Anything in general involving sexual interaction is always a touchy subject....it can either be hilarious or just disgusting. Trying to explain why would be utterly useless, because that would require braving the depths of the human psyche.

There are those, particularly in the religious sector, who view porn as a temptation, and one of the seven deadly sins (lust). It's all subjective really. If you have an issue with it, there's not much active protesting you can do against it. I'm not that big on porn myself, because who wants to watch it when they can get it on demand http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif Haha sorry that was naughty and probably not a good booster for this thread. But seriously.

[InfinityXXX]

I don't really care. Its good and all but I've always been one to want the "real thing". Not only that but I don't see how a lot of people take common/ordinary porn so seriously (i think its banned in one state), its all really funny if you think about.

The music (boom-chik-a, boom-chik-a), scenarios(we don't know each other but lets have sex), acting(makes you wanna mute the tv), and titles (brown sugar, booty world).

My friends are freaks so they enjoy talking about anything dealing with sex and I've known a few girls that like viewing porn too but personally, I haven't seen any dirty videos in years. I only watched it as a kid due to mistakes and curiosity (the whole, inserting a blank tape in a vcr scenario and watching a recorded cartoon, only to have it cut in the middle to bootys and moans)

So in conclusion, I don't care. If you like it, watch it, if you don't, don't watch it. I don't view it as anything bad unless it becomes an addiction, have violence in it, or like what other people have said, using it as a tool to gain knowledge on sex or how to perform it.

[Sinue_v2]

I don't really watch a lot of porn, but what I do watch tends to be offensive or shocking to people. I tend to collect the weird stuff, the Ringling Bros Barnum & Baily sideshow fare of the sexual circus. I've got a little of just about every fetish stashed somewhere on my HDD - except for scat, mutilation, and pedophilia. Normally I don't have necro either, though I think I do have a picture of some necro-beasty stuff (having sex with roadkill).

I don't even "get into it". It's just shock value stuff - and I watch it with the same interest a anthropologist watches a troop of monkeys. It's just interesting to see the very lowest depths of the human sexual psyche. It never ceases to amaze me, and just when you think you've seen it all... *shakes head*

The problem, I think, honestly is the lack of a proper sex education program. It goes like this:

curiosity -> no one to ask -> found out secret porn -> wrong impression because of no education -> get into it -> never talk about it cuz it is a taboo

I mean, it is an odd thing how this event itself is so instrumental and influential of our everyday life yet no one really is dedicated to make sure everyone gets some useful and healthy info. People are forever going to be curious, and lacking a proper source of info and getting their questions answered porn really fill in that DIY genre; only that it gives you completely false info on everything. Guys then watch porn and think it is normal to be going at things for hours, or girls that are supposed to have a good time regardless.. you know all these kinda expectations that are completely fake prolly does nothing good to the average viewer's mental health either.

We don't need to have sex in every conversation, but once you hit a certain point in life you should be at least able to talk about it in a mild manner like you discuss about your artificial heart. Parents don't tell kids, schools don't tell kids, no one in the end knows anything anymore but porno ed. ._.

[TrueElements]

wow im impressed after posting this i was thinkingpeople were going to post randomstuff to just get attention,but it seems people have actually use'd common thought on what they are saying.

[tank1]

I gotta admit im not the biggest fan of porn (ive watched it a few times) but ive got nothing against it except the stuff my friend andy watchs its like it came out of /d/ from 4chan *shudder*.

Well said.

I indulge myself in a lot of hetrosexual-type porn, but it does not change my attitude when it comes to interacting with females; I don't objectify them all as a piece of ass that I desperately want to rape or something.

[DoctorShasta]

Yea I agree pea guy I look at porn I see no problem really but my girlfriend is like "OMG YOU DONT LOOK AT PORN DO YOU?!" but I treat her so nicely I don't see why she would care if I did. I think girls think its gross cuz they are jealous http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Abaru-FP]

Porn isn't really bad, but its one of the many things that makes me want to slap myself in the face. It’s a total wasteland of any kind of morality or intellect, but what isn't nowadays? I see nothing wrong with getting a chuckle from watching an airhead try her best to fake whatever she considers sexy. It’s like the best entertainment ever!
I mean, what beats:

"Oh Gosh Bunny, you're gonna have to start coming over all seven days a month!"
Or
"It’s my first time"

[Maridia]

Well said, everyone. I do agree. I don't actively seek porn out very often, though I do enjoy a good one now and then, picture or movie wise. Hell, I'm a big fan of hentai (good tasteful normal stuff, not insanely weird/deformed/whatever). But I find I can't usually watch porn without rolling my eyes or giggling or making fun of it. It really is kind of ridiculous most of the time. But yeah, there's nothing "gross" about porn. It's just porn. For the pervert in all of us.

Maybe so. No girl is overly thrilled when their man oggles other women, Shasta. It's just the way it's going to be. Some are more tolerant, some (like myself) enjoy the fine form of females and can often enjoy things as well, but.. To many girls, and I can't stress this enough.. If you have them, and you are sexually active with them, you do not need anything else. You SHOULD not need anything else. And it is a HUGE insult to them that you continue to look at porn. Girls are sensitive creatures. Well, most of them. Try to put yourself in her position.

*insert "position" joke in thread about porn*

Porn can be fun with a partner. It can get people in the mood, or it can just be there to laugh at. It can be fun, or not fun. Often times it's hardly needed. ;P It all depends on your attitude. Porn is porn. Neither good nor evil. Though, I do agree with navi completely that some people get way too addicted to looking at porn, or that they kinda lose their grip on actual sexual encounters because of it. Everything in moderation.

[PJ]

In my mind, porn is bad. This comes from 2 things: My religion, and my morals (Obviously, built up on a religious base). So to me, porn is a disgusting, terrible thing.

But that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop people from viewing porn, or say something drastic like, "YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!" It's other people's choice if they want to view it, not mine.

Uhh, this is starting to sound a little strong

[Solstis]

http://www.latimes.com/features/magazine/west/la-tm-gonewild32aug06,0,2664370.story

The Porn industry makes people like that ^.

Though I'm sure that a few porn actors write books and whatnot, but most probably spend their youth doing "just one more" film, and eventually get kicked out of the industry penniless and addicted to whatever drug is popular at the moment.

Maybe some people needed money or something, sort of like college age girls stripping for cash, but the Porn Industry doesn't seem like something that you can enter and leave unscathed. Or undiseased. Sure, you can claim innocence and say that you're just a consumer, but that's just it.

:<

I admit to looking at porn, and realize how awful it is. Makes me immoral (by my standards), but I'm trying to deal with it. Assuming that porn is just for kicks (your kicks) shows very little consideration for the actors involved.

[TheyCallMeJoe]

I don't watch porn, but if I did I can't really say that I would take the actors into much "consideration." More like pity. In all honesty, people who sexually advertise themselves must have either been nursed into (as your article mentions), or have extremely low standards of self-purpose and respect.

I'm not ignorant to those who were forced into it, born into it, or were pressured into it, etc., but you can't deny some porn stars--who weren't born into prostitution and the like, chose it willingly, and not as a last resort. Case-in-point: Aaron Lawrence has a B.S. has a in psychology and an M.A. in Student Affairs Administration, Justin Slayer was a personal trainer before he got into the industry, Aimee Sweet was very involved with sports, and her school's student council. And she only ever got into porn because the photographer from a studio chose her as opposed to the friend she was accompanying, who ironically was the one who aspired to be a model.

I like porn, but it's not something I watch on a regular basis. Sometimes I'll watch it two days in a row, or I'll go without it for months and not care. Meh.

That's like saying that there is nothing socially wrong (as in, society probably should do something) with the ghetto if 1 out of __ people makes it out.

"Hey, I got rich off of a pyramid scheme!"

"Really, lemme join, it must be great!"

Just like there's a difference between a hustler/prostitute and an escort, there's one between the person being tied up and put in "interesting" situations and porn stars.

[Rainbowlemon]

'Porn' disgusts me. Being able to see an extremely pretty girl wearing barely nothing and being extremely taunting because you know you'd never have her in a million years...that's what I prefer. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

(Note: Pretty. That's why most porn is awful, because it depicts 35+ females with god knows how many boob jobs trying to be hot, and ignoring their bodys' desire to grow old gracefully. Beautiful girls are a pleasure to look at, and I'm sure there is a vice versa. Hell, my sister has pictures of topless male celebrities all over her walls, although perhaps not as 'explicit'...its the same sort of thing. You just don't realise it).

[Scejntjynahl]

-_-

Porn this porn that. What amazes me is the fact that no matter how you slice it, you present it, color it, idolize it, its the same act that has existed since the dawn of mankind. The real problem that exists is that we are trained to believe the limitations of our gender roles. And porn is just another device that perpetuates this notion. That women want it bad, and that men are always on the ready. pfft. What a pathetic illusion it weaves. And the poor individuals that are ensnared by it are no better than flies on a web. Porn unfortunately thus create if anything, bad lovers. It desencitized what it really is to make love. Sex... animals have sex. We claim to have rational thought, claim to be aware of emotions, to have emotions . . . porn has not ever dealt with emotions. Just the act. And the belief that the act in itself will be enough. It wont. It never will. You will have the act, of course, you will enjoy the moment, no doubt. But... it will leave you empty. And in a fullish attempt to fill that void you engage in more sex. Via movies, hookers, rape, whatever comes your way. But again... emptyness. We need the connection to a person, not merely physical, but emotional as well. Nothing worse than the act with no emotion. You may argue that it satisfies you... but I assure you, it will soon be forgotten a victim of a blurr of images of wanton lust... a collage of carnal act... but no inspiration. But the day that you find someone, that not only opens your mind, but your heart and your body follows... it shant be forgotten. It will be remembered. This is something that Porn can never ever deliver. It is nothing but a "fix", a bandaid that fools you into thinking you are happy. Meh, whatever floats your goat.

On a simpler idea, if it was not sought after, it would not be created. Same as drugs and other vices we have.

[zandra117]

I dont like normal porn, I like hentai.

[Daikarin]

Porn can't replace the actual experience as far as I'm concerned, but hey, that's just me. There's something alluring about having sex with the girl whom you're dating which porn can never taste as fully, as real, as meaningful I guess. That's the only reason I'm not really into porn, especially if I'm dating someone, but I can understand if people have fetishes for it.

Other reasons for it being bad is because of the taboos when it comes to sex, which in my opinion, have some fundament for whoever finds sex to be sacred. I don't approve, though, of people calling perverts to those who simply are in touch with their nature. I think there's a number of degrees until someone is called a pervert, but then again, that's just me.

[DLShAdOw]

porn is tempting sometimes, but i don't really like to look at it cuz it makes me fell like a bad person, so i just find other things to do, and if you want to try to stop watching porn, i'd reccomend the firefox extension StumbleUpon (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/138/).

[KodiaX987]

A boner is a boner is a boner.

You want a boner, you go look for porn that suits your fantasy. Period.

There isn't anything philosophical in porn. There isn't anything religious. There's no hidden meaning or anything of that sort. You know what porn does? Porn is there to give you boners and help you jack off. That's it that's all.

Christ, how complicated do you guys all need to make it?

Porn could be that simple, and definitely should be, but isn't.

If people are finding ways to add philosophy, religious meaning, or some sort of dramatic subtext to porn, then, *bam* it has something more to it. People rampage through the streets after sports games, I think that a little boner philosophy isn't all that bad.

[Mystil]

Its entertainment to me. Some of the stuff I watch makes me laugh.

[BeeYee]

Well, I like porn, but dont watch it, most people do like it if they see it. I try to resist the urge now (not working well) to watch any porn, like sometimes, there is a late-night commercial for Girls Gone Wild, everything is censored out, but its still hott right? I dont want to watch anymore because my pastor said God hates it, now I really have to admit. I think Navci knows what he/she is talking about.

[echo2]

porn is bad because u should just go out and get the real thing yourself lol instead of being a pervert and watch it. doin is better then watching man.

I am offended by interracial sex... then again I'm mixed... but then again I'm still offended.

Navi, so you're saying you don't watch those kinds of porns... you probably watch beastiality/poop'n'pee secks? haha I'm playing with you.

Never hurts to have a little sense of humor http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Myself, I've seen pr0n but, only when I was busy doing other important things. Many Marines watch porn. Which is all they do if they're not getting some. So it's kind of annoying. You can basically say I don't watch porn. Nor do I like it. Why? I don't know but it just plain sucks.

[Squall179]

Meh, only porn I really look at is Furry porn (quiet, you http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif )

Its like any other animated pornography, for starters, you dotn have actors who are probably diseased or drugged up. You dont have the relatively groesque unnatural look (again, quiet http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ) of someone who has fully shaved genitals and body, rolling around all wet with some other one just like them, with their lack of coverign over them.

I nthe end I just dont liek seeign that much dermis. Id rather look at anthropomorphic animals doing it than humans, cause humans look gross, to me, when their all shaved and waxed and oiled up and in nothing but their skin. I dunno, they look plasticy to me that way, like movign dolls and that creps me out. Anyway...


I dont really look at it for any insight into hwo to yiff-er...have sex. I dont look for any hiden meaning, I just stare at it for an hour thn go do somethign else.

it akes a certain amount of intelligence and logic to realiz that these people ou see onscreen are not going to be walkign around all the time looking so buxom and junk. Real people are not always yiffy.

Anyway though it all boils down to if you let yourself get pulled in and addicted your going to be. If you approach it beforehand with a detatchment to it or at least an udnerstandign of what it is and tha it just is, that it isnt real, in other words you come to it knowing it for what it is and deciding to not let yourself be pulld in, ....the rest has already been said.

[RuneLateralus]

To me, all it is in another genre of entertainment. Nothing more and nothing less. I do enjoy it now and then. Plus, I have also friends who are done porn as well.

As for the whole addiction thing, I really can't say on it. But then again, I really don't know cause I never really had a truly serious relationship. Just flings.

[REJ-]

The fact that it exists doesn't bother me. Every guy that spends their time watching porn, instead of brushing up on their skills and meeting real girls, is one less guy for me to compete with.

[BeeYee]

hah, REJ has a point

[BogusKun]

hahahaha! i like your attitude. I got me some the other night

no not pr0n.

I say that everyone, deep down inside, is a pervert. Some people are more open with it and are okay about it, some people supress it, but everyone has those desires, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE.
I enjoy a nice booty movie from time to time, I'ma teenage with hormones that rage like a rodeo bull, what do you expect? People say "JUST GO GET THE REAL THING, LOL!" Thats dumb for a few reasons
1) Is it really that easy to get a lady? If it is for you, please let me in on your secrets.
2) I'm saving myself for a special occasion. I actually cherish my virginity. I call it my strength of 100 men (from the story of Lancelot. He was able to do the great things he did because he was a pure virgin and as such God blessed him with the strength of 100 men).
and 3) Sometimes the going gets hard, and you gotta deal with it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
I still talk to women, I date, I'm not some recluse that spends all my time downloading porns and whatnot.

Eauijhkuu thinks that porn completely and utterly just blows.

I'm not looking at this from a moral or religious standpoint.
I'm looking at it through the eyes that any levelheaded artist *oxymoronically* would. And if you'd probably compare it along the lines of 'Kitsch', because that's exactly what it's becoming.

Since when did society turn their backs on the true aesthetics of art and trade in their funds to see Sally Loosecheeks get pummelled by the next door neighbor. Doesn't that similarly sound like something we fantasized about in like 4th grade? How is it that a porn star can obviously get paid more than a artist who expresses his own soul and how he sees the world?

I personally would agree with people who claim "Yeah. It's art. Have respect for our freedom of speech," If it werent for the amazingly true fact that the Adult Entertainment Industry puts out a billion movies on the market for the sake of income and revenue flow. The Adult entertainment industry is, hands down, one of the most lucrative and growing industries in America. Why is that? Because our society craves and demands it. And where there's high demand, there's money.

Hmm...Makes sense.

Perhaps that's probably the reason that so many artists commit suicide.

That's cool.
Let's make a film that'll make us money.
I mean...that's the point of everything:
Money.

/Rant off

I personally think that porn is boring and lame.
And oh my god. The fakeness.
But it'd probably do us better if every theatrical sex scene had special mondo effects from like StarWars, because even they had enough sense to tell a story with effect. Put in some Lightsaber Sounds. The whole 9 yards Then I'd probably consider sitting down to watch one.

But for now, I'd rather get my own action than to sit and watch some fake lackluster floozie scream on about absolutely nothing.

Low Quality Porn VS Picaso's Cubism works.

They're about on the same level. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

ehhh, I'm going on 60 gigs of porn now on my HD http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif. I dont watch porn on a regular basis, I watch whatever I just downloaded for a few mins 'till the job is done and then I just download another video. I dont think it's a bad thing as long as you're not addicted. Whenever my friends come over I usually let them browse me 60 gig archive and burn a DVD, and sometime's we discuss which videos are good and etc, but other then that, I dont see a problem with it at all. Now other shit like... child porn, sadism, and rape... that shits fucking weird.

[MadEwokHerd]

The main reason I watch porn is for the humor of it. I rarely ever get my own porn, but my friends have lots of it, and most of it is really...odd. Not like scat fetish, but just weird stuff, like a Nazi doing a black chick. Porn has some of the worst dialogue/plots, making it even more hilarious. Besides, porn is for the action, not some weak story.

Hang out with smooth guys, and learn their secrets, practice a bit, then develop your own style from the experience you've gained. Wait, you said you were already dating, so if that's the case, then you've already made a bit of progress.

Overall, the key thing to remember is that porn is just as fake as any flick you'd see in a theatre. Right down to the waxed asses. It's scripted, and thus, thats what you get, something merely created to endulge a fantasy.

Realising it's just a fantasy and knowing that you can have more than just standard sex, an actual relationship with someone, another person, is better than anything a porn can dish out.

As navi said, moderation and a level head.



Waxed asses?!

You guys must be watching the wrong kinds of porn. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Is there such a thing?

[MadEwokHerd]

Yes. If you're a straight guy, gay porn may not be your thing.

[Daikarin]

I was being ironic, trying to ask if people think there's a moral borderline on porn.

I'm Catholic, so naturally I'm opposed to all forms of porn, lust, fornication etc. in any amount. I'm about as strict as you can get in terms of tolerance towards these sorts of things. It's especially tough since I'm 24, not exactly worn out with no sex drive, but regardless I have to fight against this stuff. I don't think it's something people take seriously enough, mainly because they see nothing wrong with it. I do notice a few people who deep down felt bad about it (That's your conscience trying to tell you something..). This, or lust in general is probably the most common sins people struggle with and it certainly is one of the most difficult to overcome. Even looking at it from a non-religious point of view, I think there were some good points brought up so far with regard to objectifying, carnal acts, and other harmful effects. Yea..totally didn't see this coming from my trip to the PSU boards... lol.

In my opinoin, porn isn't a bad thing if you just want to use it to get off, but people who actually use it ot learn about sex are really, really mistaken on how sex should be. It doesn't always turn you into a shallow person or anything like that, but, I can't belive some people use it as education and think that people are realisticly supposed to be like that.

"Is there such a thing? "

It's the internet. They'res EVERYTHING on the internet!
