Internet Pornography, Harmless Fun?
http://mentalhelp.net/poc/view_index...9&d=1&w=5&e=87
here are a few things it says about it. It took me a while to read all the comments but I will say very interesting how women think vs men. Harmful Effects of Internet Pornography Internet Pornography:-Threatens marital and intimate relationships. - Is experienced as being isolating and depressing. - Shares many qualities of other addictions, such as not being able to control the impulse to view it. - Threatens employment if done at work. - Is extremely unproductive and leads to frustration on the part of the viewer. - Due to the interactive nature of the Internet, can lead to direct contact with the models on the adult sites. - Can harm the self esteem of some men who feel adolescent in viewing these sites and masturbating. - Is offensive to many wives and girl friends who often feel rejected and not good enough as a result. - Angers people who consider it to be exploitive and debasing to women. - There is always worry that children could discover the pornography on computers used at home. |
I'd be willing to bet it would bother most men if they discovered their wives/girlfriends kept a stash of beefcake mags hidden somewhere or were viewing it on the net. It'd sure as hell bother me...only way such a thing would NOT bother me is if I had no romantic interest in said woman.

That is the most BS-laden thing I've ever read.
-Threatens marital and intimate relationships. No, it doesn't. Someone who abuses pornography (or abuses anything) threatens a relationship. - Is experienced as being isolating and depressing. By whom? not by me. - Shares many qualities of other addictions, such as not being able to control the impulse to view it. It also shares many qualities of religion, eating, or being an astronaut. - Threatens employment if done at work. So what? That's a problem with your choice of venue, not with your chosen pastime. Other things that threaten employment if done at work: Swearing, sleeping, arguing, eating, drinking, staring at the wall, praying, smoking, and farting. - Is extremely unproductive and leads to frustration on the part of the viewer. On the contrary, it is extremely satisfying if done correctly. - Due to the interactive nature of the Internet, can lead to direct contact with the models on the adult sites. You can pick up women anywhere. I would wager that porn stars are less approachable than most other women due to all the crazies. - Can harm the self esteem of some men who feel adolescent in viewing these sites and masturbating. If you feel bad for masturbating then there's all kinds of things wrong with you that have nothing to do with pornography. - Is offensive to many wives and girl friends who often feel rejected and not good enough as a result. Those women are offensive to me, we're even. - Angers people who consider it to be exploitive and debasing to women. People who consider it to be exploitive and debasing to women anger me. Again, we're even. - There is always worry that children could discover the pornography on computers used at home. No, there is not always that worry. I don't worry about it. |
Internet Pornography, Harmless Fun?
Yes it has been around for thousands of years and many cultures have used children to meet the lust of adults. There are some very sick porn movies and freaky stuff with animals. I know you guys may think I am judging here but porn is not good a very best. You do as you please but I am with Al and I would not be happy to find my wife with porn flicks in the closet and I know she would be very unhappy to find them in mine. That is my family and yes this is America and your choice is just that your choice. Moral decline never ever helped a country ever :nono: :nono:

My position on this topic is simple. If you're single, then by all means, check out all the porn you like and keep it to yourself, but put them away and delete them from the computer when/if you enter a steady relationship. However, if you're already in a relationship, you shouldn't need the porn and shouldn't risk offending your other with it. It is not hard to understand that some women (particularly women with low self-esteem) may feel inadequate when faced with a man who would prefer porn instead of her. It's insulting and too many men are ignorant of this fact! If you are truly committed and attracted to another person, there is NO good reason for having or even desiring porn! If you truly do prefer the porn instead, then you are not committed and should not waste her time! Nuf said! Now, I am not beyond the concept that some committed lovers like to watch video porns together to excite themselves or discover more exotic means of satisfying each other's sexual desires. This, when mutually agreed upon, can be productive to the relationship if both parties are comfortable in doing so. |
LMAO. You all are too funny. Interesting thread.
I suppose there's porn, and then there's porn. You know. Who's to say a good porn flick couldn't be the inspiration for you and your partner to try something new and exciting .. TOGETHER ?? just a thought. I should get bonus points for that one ;) :peace: |

That's absurd. One has nothing to do with the other. |

Porn and real women satisfy different desires. One does not take the place of the other.

I agree with ya there Scarlett, which is why I dont keep a porn stash. I know how it would make my better half feel if she were to find it. I also admit that I wouldnt like it if I found HER porn stash. So I guess if youre gonna look at it, the lesson here is "dont get caught"!

Saying "if you really love sex with your spouse then you don't need pornography because your spouse should be able to fulfill all your desires" is like saying "if you really enjoy spending time with your spouse then you don't need to read books, watch television, or go to to movies because your spouse should be able to fulfill all your desires."
I love my wife and we have great sex. That doesn't mean I don't also like to watch 3 midgets have sex with a horse once in a while. |

Comparing tv, books and watching television to porn means you have a twisted delusional mind and trying to justify what you do. Apparently most disagree with you, MEN AT THAT. You have to love people that find the most stupid things to justify their sinful acts or their immoral ways or just making a stupid decision. Poor wife with a twisted sick mind of a husband. tsk tsk tsk I wouldn't be so quick to brag on midgets and horses having sex but hey whatever your fetish is go for it. Some may say T M I!!!! |
o.k. 'women' what's your thought on your man havin' a little 'porn' while you are say, out of town ? Just curious. For those that are 'offended' .
Certainly I could understand that, being a real problem, should the porn be used in "place of" just curious about some other circumstance ? |

Your endorsement is good enough for me! I'll give it a try. Yuengling eh...I watched a History Channel Special on Breweries...Yuenglings actually stores their brew in a cold, underground cave..natural refridgeration! I bet its damn good too. I recently tried a "Samuel Adams" variety that cant be found here in Shreveport..its the Sam Adams "Pale Ale". Excellent brew, I highly recommend it!

>Comparing tv, books and watching television to porn means you have a twisted delusional mind and trying to justify what you do
Of course I'm trying to justify it, isn't that the whole point of this conversation? Why does that mean I have a twisted delusional mind? All four are forms of fiction that provide the reader/viewer with mental images of events that aren't actually happening. What is it about sex-related entertainment that makes it fundamentally different than a spy thriller, love story, or sitcom? My wife has a fine sense of humor, is it somehow insulting to her that I enjoy funny movies? Why is it OK to be entertained by someone other than your spouse if that person is being funny but not OK if that person is being sexual? My wife is also an excellent cook. Should she be angry if I eat at a restaurant? |
