Porn is the last form of safe guilt remaining to man.

I can understand where you're coming from, Temperamental. It's a personal choice, though I'd have to disagree with Thrawn - I wouldn't dump a girl because she believed that looking at porn was cheating.

But I know plenty of guys who look at porn, and their girlfriends have full knowledge that they do, and have exhibited no jealousy (that I know of) over the matter.

Wolfy, one of my exgirlfriends did get jealous, but I had explained to her why I looked at porn. The cheeseburger thing. I never looked at other women in public or hit or even flirt with women. She understood after that. If she can't let me look at porn, then next she'll tell me I can't watch Family Guy or read comics.

So you don't see anything wrong with getting off to the thought someone other than the person you're with? So if your gf thinks about someone else while banging you, it's ok?

Er...I think "porn" falls under a different classification than "sitcom TV" and "comics."

Who's to say guys think about the people in the porn when they're getting off? And thinking about someone else while banging your boyfriend or girlfriend is a lot different than being lonely one night and watching porn or something. In one instance you're with a person, in another, you're not.

Actually, I don't care what she's thinking about, because all I'm thinking is "holy crap! She's either blind or really desperate!"

I don't see the big deal...it's not like it's banning porn in general. Talk about overreaction.

One in a hundred porn sites keep records of all of their "stars". This law would dramatically reduce the online porn industry.

You really don't know that. Even if it is true, 1 in 100 porn sites means there would still be a high number of porn sites out there. Considering there are most likely tens of thousands of porn sites out there. Most likely the majority of sites it will even effect you won't even know about because they're such small insignificant things anyways.




It could make way for less chance of fly-by-night sites that just become virus traps and such.

Not even close to flamebait. Y'all can react however you want to this but requiring porn sites to have documentation that their porn contains people of legal age seems like a no-brainer. Interesting how this is somehow perverted into a free speach issue like flag burning (alluding to my intent to eventually post in the other thread).

Hahahahahhahaha that was PERFECT

Actually, it won't affect me at all. I'm a hentai guy.

What's good in that anyways?

Do you mean, "what good hentai is there anyways?" Because if that's what you're asking I would very much recommend IMing me between the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 AM EST.

Hmm?

YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!
Down with porn!!! Down with hentai!!!

God bless you.

Does he need a tissue? I have plenty.

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!!

Master Splinter. DUH

moneyobie is hawt.

Don't personally agree with it? No one else should, as well! Ban it!

I'm reminded of 'Perry's Perspective' from Scrubs:

".... I'm fairly sure that if they took all the porn off the Internet, there'd only be 1 website left, and it would be called Bring Back The Porn..."

Hence the keyword "if." But you generally think about someone right? Which brings me to my next point...

Maybe, maybe not. In either case, the lusts are thoughts in your mind. So why are they different?

You've never seen the TMNT movies? For shame.

It's all maybe, maybe not. I was just throwin' the idea out there.

oh. So... uh.... how 'bout that viagra? You guys know what that stuff does? HUH!?

*Puts opened beer in pocket*

This comes under the entire burger thing. I'm not imagining having sex with these women.



Family Guy isn't a sitcom, and its still an injerest.

Translation: Women are cheeseburgers. Right. That's respectful. "No, hon, it's not a problem. I just need to satisfy my appetite and then throw away the wrapper after it's used up."

This is so 1984...

Because women never indulge themselves in any kind of way. Granted, it's not porn, but thay have their mediums.

Hey, it's not exactly like the women don't agree to be cheeseburgers. It's like complaining about high taxes if you move to Europe...you chose the lifestyle, you live with the consequences.

Translation: Other people do bad things too. That makes it ok for me.

Right. You know... Some people like to murder, some people like to steal, some people like to sleep with other people's spouses. But what the heck, they're doing it. You might as well too.

All I'm saying is that we should probably think of and treat other humans like humans, rather than disposable objects created for our fulfillment or desire.

A lot of stupid people choose to do a lot of stupid things. That doesn't mean we should take advantage of them. If I choose to leave my car door unlocked, that doesn't make it right for someone to steal my stereo.

Should. But we should have the freedom to watch it seeing as how it has no place being illegal. That's like a Christian saying we should ALL convert to Christianity. Just because you have a problem with porn doesn't mean everyone else does.

Have I said it should be illegal? I don't believe so.

I will say that I don't believe it should be allowed on the net, but that's mainly because there's no effective way for us to regulate who sees it. I know the internet doesn't belong to the US Government and thus that can't be enforced. But think of a porn site like a porn store. At a store there's signs telling people they must be of the legal age before they can enter. On the internet there's pages with the same warnings. At the stores there are people there to enforce those sings. On the internet there is no one there. And don't try and argue that it's up to the parents, cause if I had kids, I sure wouldn't have to follow them down the street to make sure they didn't walk into a porn store. The person *making the porn available* would make sure that my kids stayed out of there, and if they didn't, that person would take appropriate action to make sure the issue was handled. With the internet, the people making the pron available take no responsibility to ensure that their filth isn't ending up on the wrong person's computer screen, because there's literally no way they can.

Its funny how prett ymuch all of the people here arguing that porn is ok and good dont have girlfriends and dont have regular sex.. Which means

1. They dont know what its like to be in a relationship where you want your partner to be dedicated to you, and not want their lust thinking on someone else. Trust me, when you get into a relationship, your thoughts on this matter change.

2. They are regular porn users.



Who cares if you're thinking about it or not.. The point is that you're still using it. You cant tell me you take your time to find and download porn, and then when you find it, you close your eyes and think about your boyfriend/girlfriend all the while a guy is pounding a chick on your monitor and you can hear the moans/screams through your speakers. Give me a break.

Just because you're physically with a person or not makes no difference. You're still WITH them in a relationship, and its both disrespectful and pathetic. People in relationships should have no need for porn, if you arent getting satisfied sexually in your relationship, you either need to get out of it or take a look in the mirror and wonder why your girlfriend\boyfriend won't lay you.


EDIT: And I aint saying porn is BAD. I'm saying that people in relationships with love shouldn't use it. People who cant get any or have no relationships (people who cant get any), I can see no real problem with them using it to get off.

Although, Porn is very degrading and objectifying to women in either case.

Well I don't think we have the right to be saying what is and isn't on the internet, seeing as how nobody owns the internet and, if we block it, we're not much better off than say, the Chinese.

Temp, shut up with your high and mighty crap. I've been in a relationship. A lot of people who post on this forum have been in a relationship. I'm not saying I'm proud of looking at porn, but it's the same thing as the other thread as far as freedom of speech goes. We don't have any right to be making porn illegal, or censoring it the internet(s)

I know, like I said that can't be enforced. That's just my opinion on how things ought to be if we lived in a perfect world.

And. we have no right to censor it? I say the porn industry has no right to wave it in our faces by spamming the heck out of our emails and plastering that garbage all over the internet.
