Is pornography perverted?

Porn and Relationships:

I was first introduced to pornography by my girlfriend, as a means to explore our fantasies and inspire our passions. I am now an avid consumer. Pornography can be a great enhancer of sex in a relationship when it is a shared passion, and a destroyer when it is not.

Sex and Perversion:

I see no distinction between viewing porn because I find women beautiful and I like sex; and viewing pictures of mountains and waterfalls because I find nature beautiful and like hiking.

Fantasy and Reality:

I know I will probably never be able to climb the Himalayas and would be unwilling to endure the hardships involved, but that does not stop me from looking at pictures, reading descriptions, and imagining...

Internet Porn:

The porn industry deserves credit for being the first industry to full exploit the potential of the internet for all phases of operation.

There is a huge spectrum of porn available on the internet, and it is worth sifting through the vast wasteland of girlie barbie-dolls in high-heels and lipstick to find the occasional gem that truly celebrates the beauty and sensually of real women.

Internet porn is like public radio: all the porn one could ever want is available for free, but there comes a time when it is dishonest not to subscribe to a site one supports and pay into the industry.

Child Porn:

90% of the porn sites on the internet seem to promise 'barely legal' 18-year-olds with the implication that they would exploit younger girls if they could get away with it. It would appear from this that pedophilia, far from being an aberation, is a strong undercurrent in our culture. There is no excuse for the sexual exploitation of children, but I think child abuse is more a societal problem than a sexual problem.

Respect within the industry:

Paradoxically, in my experience the internet sites that show the most respect for the boundaries and integrity of their models are the ones that cater to the kinkiest predilections; particularly S/M and Bondage. This may be because those into BDSM see themselves as a minority community and therefore are more likely respect one another as kindred spirits, or because models courageous and strong enough to choose this type of work are also strong enough to demand the respect they deserve.

Sex and Violence:

One can see sexuality tied in with violence and oppression everywhere one looks; in advertising, media entertainment, etc. The depiction of sex as a purely loving and mutually pleasurable activity, however, can only be found in this culture among the illicit materials of pornography.

 

I just dont understand it, its nothinglike actual sex, and infaxct is so far removed from it, I dont see how it can bee seen as being 'sexy'

 

Just wanted to emphasize that paragraph

 

oops...i voted in the wrong box; lol...i meant to go for number three, got number four instead. oh well...

 

In answer to the topic question: No I don't think pornography is perverted.Perverts are perverted.

Incidentially;someone should set up Recycle Bins for pornography because they are currently the world's best selling magazines. Most buyers are too shy/ashamed to put them in recycle bins;they just destroy them -creating hazardous waste for the overloaded land-fill sites.

Many,many Trees could be saved or preserved if this was done.

 

I think you'll find its not that they are embarrassed to recylce, but they just like to keep their porn. Those mags are expensive you know.

 

Too true.

 

No. Tis' all I have, lol.

 

I think much of the idea about adult movies that people have derive from the type that they watch. There is every kind out there, ranging from really wierd fetish, violent stuff to really nice people having compassonate sex on film. Some of the old classic stuff is really funny too.

 

Porn is ok when it's used in a light hearted way with your partner or mates. When it's a necessity or includes children or violent description, this takes to a whole new level that might not be as healthy.


Most people i know, use it in the same way as men's magazines. As another way to pleasure themselves.

 

My own view is porn is bad. It heaps pressure on both sexes to perform or in some way emulate sex on screen. Porn isn't REAL LIFE and I'm dead against it, whatever type it is or what use it's put to.

(Better get the flame proof clothing out now I suppose)

 

if porn is filthy because it depicts women as sex objects ,i'd sure hate to put a name on all those brainless commercials that depict women as slaves to guys who drive this or that car or uses this or that type of deoderant ........porn or not ..sex sells ,,always has ,always will ...those erotic painting of yore were exactly for that purpose ..under the guise of artistic expression ,it was to sell .to me ,if someone of adult age and of their own free will performs in these films ,i'm fine by it ...hell ,the afternoon soaps show almost as much as they do ..you don't hear people crying foul over those do you??

 

Really? Must watch Neighbours and Home & Away more closely coz I'm sure I've not seen any actual SEX in them - bedroom scenes are usually left to the imagination of the viewer and I'm not THAT much of a prude!
Porn is totally different - makes everyone feel that they are different if they don't look exactly like the people in the films or inadequate if they don't want to do or cannot do what they do!

 

Not everyone loves their jobs but they do it cos it pays expenses.
Those interviews are marketing tools, much like when an actor appears on a late nite show b4 the release of his new film, i would take what they say with a grain of salt.

I had nothing against porn b4 seeing any of 'em. But i have yet to see a woman genuinely cum in one. It's the unreciprocated nature of it that gets me.

 

Porn puts pressure on people? I've never heard that one. If that is the case, it has more to do with that person being insecure and not confident. Do you agree with men's magazines? It's the same thing basically but in motion. Porn is a pleasure unless it's not but that's personal opinion. Unless there's violence or children involved, there is no harm. Also, if one partner does not like the other to view it. Sometimes it's more what you do with things than the thing itself.

 

Porn DOES put pressure on people, lets assume for a moment that I watch a porn film and then something strange happens in a few days and I finally get myself a girlfriend....I might expect her to do things I've seen in the film.
That puts pressure on her, also it could put pressure on me to be able to do what the guys in the film do. Ok I'll agree that I'm not confident in any way when it comes to sex. I don't agree with men's magazines either - same reason, it's not real but it tries to portray itself as being "normal".

 

So you're blaming porn for putting pressure on an imaginary girlfriend?


How the hell can you assume she will feel it as pressure placed upon her? She might like it. Plus, it's not porn's fault if she were to react that way, it would be hers for being insecure and not being able to say no. And, if "you" were the one suggesting she do this and that, it's "your" fault and "you" would be the one pressuring her not porn. Porn didn't ask your girlfriend to do anything, "you" did!

Gees! Take some responsibility.

 

Gees! Take a chill pill.

What I said was PORN in all its forms CAN put pressure on people (male and female) to act like or perform like porn stars. Sure, everyone is different and you might well be happy with the world being turned into a place full of sex crazed idiots because of the porn industry. Personally I'm not!

 

Yes, I most definitely believe porn is perverted! But hey, what's wrong with being perverted!

 

:d ...
