Is Porn Now Socially Acceptable?

    I've just taken a phone call from a little old lady I take to the hospital. While on the phone I suddenly realised I had accidentally opened a porn site on my laptop with the volume up full.

    But sure no one bats an eyelid at these things nowadays.

    Do they?

    Not to the extent that it would be advisable to conduct your day to day affairs while watching it.

    **** Socially Acceptable. What I do, in my own house, with full knowledge or in the presence of other mature, consenting individuals and as long as I do not hurt, abuse or exploit anyone else, is nobody else's business. If I want to jerk off all day to the fine work of Alexis Texas, so be it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 827 ✭✭✭WumBuster


    No, i dont think its socially acceptable. I mean you wouldnt bring your laptop down the pub, sit in a corner and start jerking off to porn, or would you?

    No, porn is not socially acceptable but dogging is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08


    Depends what you mean by socially acceptable. Admission of watching it is fine these days. Loading up redtube and boxing the one-eyed clown on the bus is not :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,573 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    The censors still get far more worried about shagging than violence.

    Yes it is, I have my favourite sites listed on my cv


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Porn is such a mainstream thing and every one watches it of all age groups (add 18+ to cover my ass) so I think it should be more socially acceptable than it is and do away with few stigmas that are left.

    Sure what harm? It's not hurting anyone... In principle I mean :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    In most European countries (and Latin America) the erotic and horny has been just another part of the human experience and not something to freak out about. Something about these windswept islands (and the counties we all went off to inhabit) that has issues with the sexual functions of the body and erotic aspects of the mind.

    I'd say we're some distance from being totally cool with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭Colmustard


    I don't know, I suppose it depends on how much you watch. I mean if I ask my mate to go for a pint and he NaH I am watching some Japanese Porno, that's unacceptable, like he could go for a drink and still watch it on his Iphone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭marshbaboon


    The porn I watch sure as fcuk isn't socially acceptable...

    ... :pac:

    I've always been mocked for my opinion on this, but no, I don't think porn is socially acceptable, and to me the amount of it on the internet is actually a bit weird.

    Useless yet interesting fact: Porn constitutes less than 1% of the internet.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭Colmustard


    It is not only porn that has become socially acceptable but sex work in general, whether you are a stripper, a lap dancer or working in the "glamour industry" or even an escort.

    Bring back the holy church of Rome is what I say:(

    I've seen a girl get fucked by 3 guys while getting spit roasted and also giving another 2 guys hand jobs simultaneously.

    That'll be your test!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭MaxSteele


    I had a drunken conversation with this married father of two in the pub during the world cup in June, where we discussed in vivid detail the best porn sites on the web. :pac::pac:

    Socially Acceptable ? For men I'd say, yeah.

    In Russia that's called a helicopter. I recently saw a guy watching it on his phone on a bus.. Without earphones or anything. Needless to say all the pensioners on the bus looked like they were having a great time. Mighty acceptable over there ;)

    The about porn is first it was cool to see just regular porn.
    Then I adapted to leather. Then came various fetishes and now I can't even get a boner unless I'm watching BDSM.
    I can't go without it. My phone is full of bdsm clips so much so that I've had to stop letting people use my phone in case they open a video.
    It's fine when you meet a girl on the piss and you bring her home and shes a bit drunk and up for it. But when your going out on a date with you mates girl friends best friend and you bring her in your lair after watching a romcom can be a bit uneasy.

    Where can you buy gimp masks? There's an adult sex shop there near portebello, would they sell them?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    I think its seen in a different light,i dont think it is as far socially acceptable as dinner conversation,its not there yet,i dont think,but it is definately more widespread thanks to the dot.com bubble,theres more knowledge about types of porn,hardcore porn,torture porn,softcore porn etc..and that said if you watch it like all the time it can be a bad thing,it cant be good for the mind to keep watching it all the time,girls can be different about their attitude towards you watching porn,men tend to try and normalize you to watching porn or reading porn mags with them and that doesnt always work,if a girl sees you watching porn all the time chances are she is going to leave you at some point for someone who watches less porn..

    No the gimp suit will be for me.
    I will be her slave and whipped to no end. I'll live in a cage and only be released for her pleasure. I won't even get to climax and there will be pegs all over my scrotum. So wet now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    and now I can't even get a boner unless I'm watching BDSM.

    i think you might have a serious problem,thats what watching too much can do for you if youre not careful and mindful of how much you watch it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 770 ✭✭✭sgb


    Before the Internet porn was not widely available, a friend might say "I've got a video". These day's it's just a few click's and you can watch what ever rock's your boat.

    It;s more accessible but not necessary acceptable


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    It depends what relationship you are in,some girls mightnt mind it too much,but if they see you watching it a lot they might do,others it might not bother them at all in the slightest,they may even join in,it depends on the situation and the person..

    I guess it depends on what's meant by 'socially acceptable'. Do you think it'd be acceptable to watch porn in public on the continent? I'd doubt it. However, acceptance of watching porn in the privacy of your own home, I would think, would be just as acceptable here as in other, more 'enlightened' countries.

    :D I was 100% joking...maybe:p
    That's why it was so over the top. But there probably are people out there into all that to that extreme. :eek:

    "jaysus Joe.. It was awful. There was mickeys everywhere and she was just grabbing in a frenzy "
    Joe - "and what was she grabbing?"

    Peter - "mikeys joe..."

    Joe - "My god and where was she grabbing them?

    Peter - "..on the train joe..."

    Joe - "my word, and what was she grabbing peter..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    By the amount of women who have told me they're reading 50 shades of grey I'd have to say yes.


    I'm not sure I'd get the same reaction if I started talking about some massive pron site tbh......

    Exactly, when will people accept that us average Joe's like to watch lesbians shag each other with their own prolapses or watch an Asian woman jam a live octopus up her arse?
