Warning! Sexually Explicit Material! You Must Be 18 Or Older And Have No Shame!

Isabella 02-28-2007 09:31 PM

LOL, I am definitely over 18. Anyone want to post your age here?

Al Swearengen 02-28-2007 09:34 PM

LOL, ok, so youre over 18...but would you be ashamed to be caught viewing porn? I know I'd have a sheepish look on my red face if I got caught, and Im 40! Especially if I was watching 3 midgets and a horse in compromising positions! Haha, actually, just regular old missionary style hetero porn would be enough to make me feel like I just got caught with my hand in the cookie jar. Im such a prude :o

Isabella 02-28-2007 09:36 PM

Well if you don't view it you can't get caught.

I would post my age but computers don't count that high! :D

Al Swearengen 02-28-2007 09:55 PM

Oh my! Look at the numbers on that poll! The folks that wouldnt mind if their sigothers were viewing porn are a pretty sizable minority it seems.

Al Swearengen 02-28-2007 10:03 PM

I dont think this is any reflection on Joe's character...he just had the guts to admit to it! If his wife doesnt care if he views porn then why should we? She must not feel threatened by it. If only we could all boast of being that secure. Very open-minded I'd say. Besides, we all have our guilty pleasures, do we not?;) Its also occured to me that Joe might just be playing "devil's advocate" here and he really doesnt care one way or another.

Of the 1145 Unique Visitors in a day (from the home page) only 8 voted! That is a poll all in itself.

You currently have 164 rep points.. that's a good thing :)
You currently have no "rep power" That won't happen until you reach a total of 100 posts. you are currently at 98, so only 2 more posts to go!

your "rep power" indicates how much of an influence you'll have on someone's rep power when and if you choose to do so. The icon is hard to see, but on each post, under the user's name and avatar, you'll see some small icons, one of which looks like a justice "scale". Clicking on this will allow you to choose whether you approve or disapprove of someone's post. You can choose to leave an anonymous comment as well. These anonymous comments will show up on that users Profile page for them to see. Etc etc.. sounds more complicated than it is. :)

When you commit to a person romantically, then you have agreed to place the satisfaction of your romantic desires (and sexual desires) solely into your partner's hands. How you spend your free time and where you choose to dine has some such implications as well, but to a much smaller extent.

It is a matter of simple propriety. Women don't care what you read or where you eat or when you go to the movies. However, they DO care who you get your sexual kicks from, especially if it's not them.

Thanks for explaining. So, you can see what someone says about you on your profile page?

Al Swearengen 03-01-2007 12:02 AM

When I look into my lovely wife's eyes I simultaneously hear all of my favorite music, read all of my favorite books, watch all of my favorite TV shows, get drunk on all of my favorite alcoholic beverages, taste all of my favorite foods, practice all of my favorite hobbies and, ofcourse, feel all the love I'll ever need! But the sex...well, I get that on Sprague Street where all of my favorite crackwhores hang out. Its a beautiful thing!:rolleyes:

Sorry, it's not on your "Profile" page, but if you click on "My SBLive", it will show up on that page.
If they choose to leave a comment, it will show up. The comment is anonymous, however.

Some do, many (if not most) don't. None, in my opinion, should care if their spuse looks at porn any more than they care if their husband reads Sports Illustrated or a John Grisham novel. All are trashy, worthless fun.

I have to disagree with the many if not most women don't care. The statistics and postings out there on the internet don't lie with the sad stories of how it affects their lives and relationships.

The entire problem is as you said trash, worthless fun. Any woman with dignitiy doesn't have that type of mentality.

But to each their own whatever you like and if you and your spouse agree on it, look at what you want including horses, midgets and also other animals having sex with whatever.

That may be your opinion, but this does not change the opinion of the masses who likely disagree with you and it certainly doesn't change the opinion of any woman you could enter into a relationship with. Even with the sex issue aside. Pornography is not considered a dignified activity in today's society and, as Scarlett said, a dignified woman will not like it.

joepole 03-01-2007 10:36 AM

So no Sports Illustrated or John Grisham in your house, either?

Unfortunately, pornography's powerful appeal leads many into sexual addiction. A life dedicated to pornography, or even just seasoned with occasional viewing of it can become considerably darkened by the many harmful side effects. Here are just a few of the many possible side effects of pornography addiction that we've witnessed:
  • Perversions (homosexuality, bestiality, bisexuality, transexuality, fetishes, etc.)
  • Irritability
  • Sexual imbalance
  • Sexual dissatisfaction
  • Masturbation
  • Lies & deception
  • Uncontrolled thoughts
  • Spiritual oppression
  • Marital strife / destruction / divorce
  • Corrupted perception of reality
  • Warped interpersonal skills
  • Reclusiveness
  • Fear
  • Increased tendency toward sexual crime
  • Guilt & condemnation
  • Loss of Hope
  • Depression
  • Inability to give or receive love
  • Spiritual death
  • Torment
  • Depraved mind
  • Darkened understanding
  • Loss of discernment between good & evil
  • Promiscuity
  • Lustful eye

joepole 03-01-2007 11:24 AM

A life dedicated to religion, or even just seasoned with occasional celebration of is can become considerably darkened by the many harmful side effects.

A life dedicated to birdwatching, or even just seasoned with occasional dabbling in it can become considerably darkened by the many harmful side effects.

A life dedicated to anything, or even just seasoned with occasional doing of anything can become considerably darkened by the many harmful side effects.

joepole 03-01-2007 11:26 AM

Oh no, not lustful eye! That's what killed my grandfather!

And since when is masturbation

1. a side effect of pornography (seems to me it's the other way around)

2. a bad thing? Masturbation is awesome. If you don't like tit then you're not doing it right.

joepole 03-01-2007 11:33 AM

>I guess i have quite a bit of dignity!

Not if you admit to watching American Idol on a regular basis.

If you really loved your husband you wouldn't need other people to fulfill your singing/performance watching desires.

Watching american idol is no comparison to viewing and masturbating to porn. I do have more dignity than you know. Apparently you have no morals as all your posts have revealed.

I feel for your family you seem to have no values either.

Have a great day!:banana::beerchug:

joepole 03-01-2007 11:41 AM

There really is no comparison. Luckily nobody in my family has brought shame upon it by publicly admitting to regularly watch American Idol. There is no better way to say "I am a mindless nothing" than to admit as such.

Mindless nothing? you said it mr joepole........... looking at mindless nothings as your porn.

Go figure:rotflol:

joepole 03-01-2007 11:56 AM

If I followed a weekly porn competition I would be just as ashamed as if I followed American Idol. There is nothing wrong with porn or singing, but investing time and effort into the outcome of people you don't know and can't influence is sad.

joepole 03-01-2007 11:58 AM

I just thought of one. If you ever say "Al Gore really won the 2000 election, Bush stole it." That's a better way to say "I am a mindless nothing."

omg trying to bring in something irrelivant here?

BrainSmashR 03-01-2007 12:28 PM

Morals are acceptable standards in a given society.

In my group of friends, you would be laughed at for watching American Idol and quoting the Bible.

Likewise, I doubt any of your friends enjoy drinking beer and watching wrestling.

That certainly doesn't make either one of us better than the other, and I suspect you enjoy pleasures of the flesh just as much as the next person....unless you've joined a convent since we last chatted :)

My life is dedicated to more cowbell! I just can't get enough! I NEED more cowbell! Def Leopard, Blue Oyster Cult, I'll take what I can get. Even "Honky Tonk Women"! Please help me! Ahhhhhhhh! I can't get the cow bell out of my head!

That's your group of friends, mine would not laugh at your pornography views but feel sorry if you were in some type of relationship w/ a wife/gf/sigother.

You don't know my friends apparently and yes we all drink beer sociably I am not here to judge anyone Brain but giving my opinions. You can try to judge me all you want I personally don't care. I can defend anything and will be upfront and honest on everything. No I don't watch wrestling I quit when I was 19 due to the fact of the fakeness of it. I really don't like many sports other than Ice Hockey.

Of course I do I'm human I don't need pictures to do it for me, my man can do that for me. :D

Isaac-Saxxon 03-01-2007 12:49 PM

Loss of discernment between good & evil
 
The people that make the porn are always connected to the dark side of man much more than the good side. There are two sides of every person and "I" believe that we are placed in this clay shell to make up our minds as to which road we will take. Everybody has to make their own choice. I do think that the people that produce and make money off of it cause much harm to many people. "Maybe" some people can deal with fine I do not know because I am not one of the people that watch it. I do "know" kids going thru the change to adults can be harmed by watching such things. I can discern good from bad like any of you and I do not always do what is right but I do know when I do something wrong I can feel it just like all of you do. You know I try not to bring Bible into this forum any more but after the first sin in the garden they did not cover up their mouth from eating a apple :rolleyes: :rolleyes: they cover up their private parts. Does anybody know what happen to the Sodomites ?? Yea they burned like a match. If you choose to do that and it floats your boat then enjoy the ride. Life is a journey and it does have a destination I hope for the readers here the destination is a good one.

Wrong again. You are here to judge people. As am I.

Judgment is a good thing, it's what allows us to distinguish between worthwhile people and non-worthwhile people.

no i am not i can give my opinion as you have but i don't judge. Only God can! But you don't believe in his words so its irrelivant here.

It doesn't mean you are a bad person because of the choices you make it's your choice I just disagree with them.

Judge Roy Moore and the ten commandments had the people posting like crazy and when the thread died and everybody that posted still had the same opinion :laugh: These moral issues seem to be a bone on contention with the American people. What was it in the last presidential election "morals stupid" as I recall or lack of morals that change the day.
