Is Porn Really So Bad?

I for one can truthfully say that I have no porn. Hell, I don't even have a vibrator.

In certain types of adult movies, the scenarios certainly can turn ugly; by which I mean the actresses are treated as ragged dolls and the actors are shown as beasts- or else, it can be barbaric. Of course, many pornographic movies fall in the "soft" category, with light intercourse and the emphasis on sensual erotica to be dominant. So, at least, one has choices...

In my own opinion the very nature of our definition of 'sexual relations' alters with the varying conceptions of modern sexuality; that is, not that adult movies pave the way for our sex and delight in the bedroom, but they do contribute to those criteria which we use to assess our own sexual lives. Put simply, all these categories of pornography are not the foundations of our sexual assessments; nevertheless, for those that use such movies as "desires" or "masturbation assistance," the matter could become worse- it could, one would say, seep into one's subconscious and play a role in his or her assessment of a relationship. In a word, such movies could find a place in our sexual mentalities and therefore in our sexual lives, or the desires thereof.

Correct

Thank you JL. Can you add anything to this?

I can only repeat what I said back on page three:
"...porn is SO visual that a person who orients his sexual perspective to porn becomes desensitized to the really more basic and primitive aspects of sex: touch, taste and smell.
Having a woman close to you is SO much more erotic than visual porn. I've never gotten the flush or rush from porn that I can get from the nearness of an attractive woman".

Porn is just recorded sex, everybody was designed to have it, so watching it is no big deal, it's just a part of life. People enjoy making it and watching it, so it's harmless. If you don't like recorded sex, don't watch it!

Are you addressing me, Roverroad? I'm not saying I don't like some porn. And morality is not an issue here. I was just pointing out some of its shortcomings.

I'm only addressing you if you're feeling guilty about something, otherwise, no. That was a general opinion.

I concur.

The implication here is that thin line between what is indicated as sex in adult films and what sex amounts to in the real world; or else, what is taken from one into the other, or vice versa, and, of course, what may be taken out of the one from the other. Then physical sexual preference amounts to particular "tap dances" on or around this line, at once on one side, then another, etc.

Does the mail man steal all of your parcels then, Montana?


Bloody annoying when that happens.

Yeah, the mail "woman" must have all my damn toys! Now if I had a mail "man", I wouldn't have this problem ;-)

They are having a sale on vibrators at "Spencer Gifts". Just go to the store and pick one up. Say, "it's for a friend".

My wife came home with a rampant rabbit! Apparently they were all the rage on Sex and the City.

It chewed through the wiring, peed on the carpet and escaped through the cat flap.

Bloody strange way to pep up one's sex life.

Quex, I guess it boils down to the difference between fantasy and reality. Fantasy's great, but reality is a gass.
Except, Lord Ellpus when it comes to rebbits, I guess.

You are 100% correct J L Nobody. I have absolutely NO STATS to back
up my statement......just OPINIONS based on personal experience.
When it comes down to opinions I know the old saying that "opinions
are like a**holes, everybody has one. ( or quite a few )
I must personally admit to having quite a few of them. I DO however
realize that within the framework of A2K ... opinions not backed
by stats don't fly; do they?

It would depend on who you ask...

You have more than one a**hole?

I was wondering when someone would catch that one...

Yes JL, I agree entirely. Though we must consider the point at which fantasy enters the real as real, apart from insanity, of course.

What do you think?

I was wondering why you hadn't already said something!
