It makes me wonder why people sell their bodies for money.

Other than that I don't give a toss.

Can't say that I'm surprised. Us guys are quite repulsive.

I see problem with it unless it's child pornography, animal pornography... that sort of stuff. That's bad.

Other than that, i see no problem. For example, this guy helped me be sure it.

Not a big fan of porn myself.

It glorifies sex and can lead to addiction (just like 90% of everything). Unfortunately, watching porn not only lowers self esteem (look it up), but it also mis-represents sex. Not to mention, prolonged exposure can cause an obsession, and lead to dysfunctional behavior (such as treating women like objects).

The women in these movies are often objectified: when you watch it's like you're watching a person whos ONLY motive in life is sex. I could probably write an entire BOOK on how porn objectifies women, and how that is wrong, but I think you're common sence would serve this point better.

It's also a rather dangerous profession: while there are STD screening tests each performer must undertake, it takes some STDs (including HIV) upto 6 months before they start showing; in which case infection can spread rampantly. Mix into the equation the high rate of drug use among performers, and it's just not a safe thing. Condoms won't protect you 100% of the time.

That being said, I'd like to think of myself as a normal person, and I have viewed it before. I kinda agree with the consensus here: its just a time killer. I think people should be wise about their viewing habits (I.E. not forming one that will detriment your social abilities), and I definately think that illegal acts and acts of violence (no matter if there is consent or not) shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Well, isn't that normal? I've had a hypothesis that women want to see a tender act of love rather than a man grunting and moaning. That they're more into it to see a woman getting pleased than a man getting off while a woman pretend to get off. Also that girl on girl action shows a lot of what they want to experience, not necessarily with a girl, but that the actual act that it's all about the woman enjoying it. Of course I base this on nothing at all so there's a 95% chance that all this is bs and far away from the truth, but then again a hypothesis usually starts far off from the goal.

Well, to the topic. I guess I would say I like it, but watching a whole movie rather than clips is really boring. You usually got bad acting, bad story and scenes you're not interested in. I also can't say that most of my internet goes to it, since well, Escapist is always here for me.

As long as you're smart enough to see that it's certainly not reality and much less fun/personal than the real thing.. I'm okay with it.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFwell, I'm gay and my teenage self seemed to be very reluctant to admit that, and it's sad to say it but in the end all of the best, supportive friends and philosophical thinking didn't quite clarify my sexuality for me much better than Porn. I mean, really, it became obvious after I watched a little. So I suppose it can be harmful or useful, but in my case it was useful.

Right now though, I don't watch it.. Not out of morals, I just don't like it. It's so... Undignified, and clichéd. I think I'm a bit of a snob =/ I just can't seem to enjoy any badly written stuff. Sure, I'm aroused, but am I immersed?

God that sounds sad. And now I'm starting to talk about my habits which was not my point...

I think porn can of course, like anything, be used in a harmful way even if is not harmful by nature. You can still bludgeon someone to death with a lollipop. Well, not really, but you could poke it in their eye. Point is, it's definitely not immoral, so long as the whole thing is consensual.

I don't really think it is taboo; I mean, you might get a few looks if you talk about your habits to strangers, but that's pretty much for the same reason that you'd get those looks talking about masturbation, even if you don't actually happen to be doing that while watching porn. Yes, there are strong ideas about the correct methods of sexual expression, which is to say that anything out of missionary position in a heterosexual relationship is outside of total societal acceptance, but porn isn't particularly unusual in that respect; a pretty large amount of people watch it, and it's so far from any essence of being underground that taboo is too strong a term. It's not talked about insofar as it's personal, not that it's disgusting per se.

I think straight porn, I guess the most common kind, is painfully misogynist; the man is either portrayed neutrally, without a personality, or positively, i.e. dominant (outside of s&m ideas), whereas the woman exists to serve and be almost robotically sexual. I don't think this is an inherent thing within porn; though it's often blamed for creating skewed ideas about women, men and sex, I think it's more accurate to say it serves an existing demand for this sort of emotionless, instantly and superfically gratifying portrayal of sex. If people were more comfortable with female sexuality, and a generally accepting and healthy attitude to one's own, then porn would be a lot more representative of real sex. Women would start watching it more, and the demand would change it to something more believable and engaging rather than the crass, irritating stuff we have now. You can find things like that, but it's a lot less common than what you usually get.

That all said, you can't beat a lesbian 69. And though one of my viewpoints sees it as an extremely complicated and interesting representation of what we all think about sex, sometimes it's really just as simple as that.

It comes in handy ;)

Eh, its ok, has its uses, but personally its usually a "last resort" sort of deal, if I haven't seen my partner in a while

It's very interesting what some websites will classify as being Porn. Truly the absolute epitomy of nightmare-inducing filth can fall into the porn category and can be found if looked hard enough, ranging from mild spooning to brutal reincarnated corpse humping. It can be amusing, arousing, terrifying, benevolent; I mean, Nabokov's Lolita was labelled as porn of the most vile nature when it was first published and that was just an assortment of words (granted very well structured words). In all honesty nobody is safe from the wrath of porn. Seriously, it's just everywhere. It passes the time between waiting for downloads to finish though, and it's funny just to see what is turned into porn.

I have no problem with it. Its a great masturbation aid and is nice to watch. That being said that's pretty much the only thing I use porn for. I realize that porn is quite different from actual sex and as such I don't base my expectations off of it. Its useful for a nice fap, but beyond that I don't really need it.

It's fine. As crude as this sounds, it's fun to watch and makes me feel better.

There are some quite disturbing niches of pornography though.

As someone who has actually been hurt by porn before, I greatly dislike it. Most of the comments I read here state "if it's not hurting anyone, it's all right", but where is the line drawn? What exactly is hurting someone?

For me, it was when my boyfriend at the time would watch it constantly, and then make demands of me to do things that I would never have wanted to do. However, being young, naive and in one of my first relationships, I started thinking this is how women were supposed to act. I'd really rather not get into the details, but I've still got some pretty serious sexual issues because of it.

People in porn videos are generally actors. They've been paid a certain amount of money to act a certain way for the camera so they can sell it and make money in a highly successful business. It's fake.

If you watch it, that's fine. But it's not completely harmless.

hrm..i only read part of the first page so I may or may not be the first girl to comment on this.

THIS BEING SAID!

I do not find porn offensive really, I find it amusing and I keep some around for my boyfriend because I know how it effects him. It helps to get him in the mood and I find it kinda sexy sometimes too. So all-in-all I don't mind porn.

I think porn is a good thing, people say that it could encourage sexual deviance, but i would say that lack of porn would cause sexual deviance, especially for teen boys. i hope that makes sense.

Well I got it, so it's bound to be (I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, see!).

I adore pornography.

It provides exciting stimulus.

It allows me fodder for all sorts of imaginary situations.

It shows me something I would never see in real life (i.e. - 'So THAT'S how you get out of a speeding ticket! Bugger me!')

And, of course, it keeps me in check. I find it to be a great way to relieve anger and stress.
