Pr0n - a good thing or a bad thing?

PeterIanStaker

I'm talking about the kind with consenting adults of course, doing it of their own free will. Obviously with the Internet, it can't be prevented.

There was a lot of reaction both positive (GOWAN YE GUD THING) and negative (Sex? in Ireland?), when that Wexford hurler appeared in a porn film, so what do ye think? Is it good bad or do you care?

The_Kew_Tour

Hell it sure beats getting the dole:D

orourkeda

Brilliant. All those big knockers floppin' around

Karl Hungus

Nothing wrong with it. And who cares if some hurler was in a porn film? Some people are just prudes.

It's not a bad thing for reasonable adults, but if I ever have kids they aren't touching it until older.

Bad thing---but I'm a giant hypocrite and I still watch it. I think it preys on damaged, desperate people and it reduces womens sexuality to just something to please men. It doesn't get to exist in its own right.

Mr. CooL ICE

I'm watching porn right now. It's great!

What the fcuk is prOn when it's at home?

Nothing wrong with porn mind..

If one subcribes to Dr.William Reich's theory that sexual repression leads to the 'Mass Psychology of Fascism' and to neuroses on a national level, then porn (according to the OP's definition), and the role it plays in sexual liberation, is a wonderful thing.

The_Minister

I do think that there should be a disclaimer at the start of films to stop people using them as 'How to' guides.

If you do this to a real woman she will bite it off.

good thing of course

AnonoBoy

Spelling it like that is a bad thing.

if the people in the pornography give their consent then what's the problem

Yes but what is the nature of that consent. You would be hard pressed to find a porn actresse without a drug habit/ history of sexual abuse. Sure if they were well rounded individuals, but they're not.

Sorry, what are you even basing that on? They're in porn, they're not prostitutes.

It degrades women.

I have posted to register that I do not care about this issue.

"....It's just porn, mom, your running away
You wouldn't believe what the kids see today
It's just porn, mom, and it won't go away
Wherever you turn you find porn everyday..."

Porn is what it is. There's always going to be a market for it, there always has. Sure its degrading to women as it shows them nothing more than friction for the male genitalia but then again who earns more.. female actresses are known to earn more than male.

Its neither good or bad. To say all female porn stars are the victims of abuse is a bit silly. Exhibitionism has been around for centuries.

Women finger the gash of themselves all the time to porn. Afaik their fancy is gay porn or lesbian porn. They just don't admit to it like they don't admit that their farts smell.

of course there is damaged people trying to get into the porn industry. Its the same as any showbiz industry. There has been many documentaries on the porn industry and from most of them, the most damaging part seems to be straight men doing gay shoots. A lot of the actors wouldn't talk about the shoots on camera.

Watch the whole thing.

I mean that it reduces women's sexuality as something only to please men as on the whole it is only aimed at men. There is like one porn site aimed at lesbians. The rest is just fake lesbians having fake sex cos 'girls kissing is hot'

Seen that before, she is still selling herself TBH, but this time to churches where she reiterates their points for them.

Sure, there are some screwed up women in porn, but it is such a huge industry these days that I would argue that most of them don't have the pasts that were typical of older porn.

There is alot less taboo in California now about girls doing porn, in fact alot of them come there specifically to do porn.

Porn is aimed at men because that is the major market.

knird evol

PrOn

I think they can be quite nice. Maybe like in an Avocado Salade or a curry.

PeterIanStaker

I coulda phrased it better, but I'm a guy, so effort, meh. Anyway, if you think its not a bad thing, tick no. I didnt get enough caffeine today.

Well they get paid to have sex...so yeah they're prostitutes.

I dunno, if it's just two folks banging each other surely it's no more degrading to either party? Unless that's a specific type of porn that some people are into.

But you'd have to be fairly screwed up to do all these things on camera, doesn't take a genius to figure that one.
I don't think porn is the worst thing in the world, but I don't really think it gives anything positive to the world.

A lot of couples watch porn.

There may not be much hardcore stuff aimed specifically at women (although for what its worth** the video posted above claims that 28% of internet porn users are Women) but theres tons of softer stuff.

** Probably not very much given that it cites a spyware firm as a source

Piste

I dunno, it's escapism for most. Maybe it's a way to experience stuff they've no hope of getting their partners to do.

No, you wouldn't. It's just sex, a very human thing. The advent of porn, IMO, was involved in the sexual revolution where women are allowed to express their enjoyment of sex publicly rather than only doing it for procreation.

Jaxxy

There's nothing wrong with it IMO. If people want to do porn then all power to them. Same goes for people who want to watch it. As long as it's not harming anyone then I don't see the problem.

Yeah and they also get a say in who they bang and how its done. I don't think its as sexist nowadays as it was years ago.

Boxoffrogs

In an ideal world where everyone involved in the porn industry enjoys their work, sure, porn is a great thing.

I can think of worse industries to work in, i.e. banking or politics:D

PeterIanStaker

Porn is kinda like Guitar Hero - its an inadequate substitute.

force majeure

As someone who has seen stuff by and by [mostly on line] I can say a good lot off it is ok. A lot off it is put together by couples who appear happy enough at what they do. The but part being over the last 5 years or so I have noticed a certain amount is now turning too far off for my liking and it cant be denied that some off the women involved do look either drunk or drugged to the eye balls so in fact I think I well go back to DVDs.:p
safer too.

Poll needs more options

1) It depends
2) Yes (but censorship is worse)

Listen I have no problem with any kind of sexual practice, I just think to do it on camera with a total stranger for the world to see makes you a bit of a freak. I'm specifically talking about the really weird fetish stuff. I'm not saying they're bad people, just off their heads to do it with a stranger in front of a crowded room of crew

Why?
What exactly is wrong with it?
Aren't you just applying your own moral and sexual standards?

Different strokes for different folks?
Just because you don't do it or wouldn't doesn't make them freaks, it makes them have different tastes and different/fewer hangups about sex.
Maybe people think you're a freak because you might seem prudish, how about them apples?
