A Weird World View in the Article - Women watch for fun and men for darker reasons ffs

i think your right here tbh. I think the author of that article is reading a bit much into her experiences. I'm sure if she went around and spoke to every woman at the Chippendales show she'd also find lonely or predatory women, same as in a lap dancing club.

Personally I've not a bother with either porn or strippers. I suppose my attitude to strippers is that it's a bit of a laugh, don't take it too seriously. At the end of the day, I like boobs......a lot. So if I can have a beer, give someone a few quid and she'll get them out, thats all it is.

Porn while useful, is nothing more than a fantasy, a picture on a screen. I've heard of people getting a bit wrapped up in it, but i suppose like pretty much anything, that can happen. For the vast majority of people, it's a dip in, crack one out, and turn it off kinda thing.

Exploitation can happen in all walks of life. Certainly, things like porn or lapdancing are open to abuse and exploitative practices, but I don't think its right to say that all porn/;apdancing is so. I've known a few girls who danced, they did it for the money. They made good wages and were happy enough doing it. They needed cash, they got it, they liked it, they did it a bit more and then they stopped. In that case, whose getting exploited? I'd suggest its the blokes paying for it.......

The darker side of the industry is when you hear about girls getting roped into things, trafficing of girls is still out there, even with the EU etc clamping down. Stories of passports and ID being taken from girls to prevent them leaving are also around, though less common than before. Porn can also lead to this kind of thing, within that industry, huge strides have been made to cut this sort of thing out but it appears there is a still a ways to go. Again, I don't think you could say that all porn actors are being exploited, some genuinely enjoy/like/want to do what they are doing.

... I don't like them... I've only been once, as part of a work Christmas do many years ago. I found it very dull, somewhat bleak and depressing... but I paid for a full on nekid lap dance just for the heck of it, and just so that I could say I'd done it (and to get my score another point lower on the old Purity Test).
And I must say... it was bloody great. sure you can't touch... sure it's not going anywhere and you leave titillated and nothing comes of it... but before going in I was feeling really down and had pretty much lost interest in sex, my drive had bottomed out totally. It really picked me up and got me going again... sure it leaves you a little frustrated but vitalised! and that's better that then numb.

That said now that I've done it once I don't think I'd do it again, the rest of the place itself was somewhat depressing or maybe just boring... which was what made it depressing. I don't know... I think given the choice I'd rather watch the young wans having fun dancing in a regular night club, with all their clothes on (even though they would probably ignore any sort of advance that I might make), rather than bored looking topless women grinding against a poll watching me, with bored dead eyes, like a hawk to see if I'd pay them more for a private dance.
Hey maybe some strip clubs are more fun than that... *shrug*

I dont believe women when they say they watch porn, purely cause women arent as visual as men, and it takes alot moe then a crappy porno to do it. women would be moe turned on by a book id say, then watching porn made by men, which treat women like dirt, and focus on the blokes pleasure, not the females. I peronally think grils say it to apear ....i dunno, wild:eek:

I personally hate porn, to bits. but iv no problem with prostiution. I think porn is a leading root to peadophiles, and rapists. It provides arousal, thats it, not stimulaton, which prostitution does. I think it recks relationships, well if your anything like me. If a bloke is happy in a relationship why feel the need to look other women having sex, or pornograpghic picures?I hate the way in society its so accepted that men watch porn. the fact that there male isint excuse enough. Most infamous serial killers and pyschopaths had extremem amounts of pronos, pictures, amongst other things in their homes when raided, Anyone who tries to deny that porn isint linked to killers and sex abusers is kidding themselves ( thats not t say every bloke who watches porn is a murderer) . I just see how many problems it creates, And wonder why its still around, worse then ever nowadays, solely for the mere purpose of self gratification?


I see prostitution as women taking advantage of men in the sense that men (not all) are so desprete for sex thatd theyd pay for it. Its the women always portrayed as the bad ones, never the men who use the prostitutes, which baffles me, but at least men get what they want there, and dont go off looking for smeone to act out their fantasies, or scenarioes, which pornos give.


Porn has just become worse and worse. Went from people having sex in the films, to gang bang films, to bondage films, to child pornograpghy, to rape-then-murder pornos, or snuffs, or fake snuffs. It may have once just been something to provide stimulation but nowadays its progressed to something way worse then what it was.
