    This bit is odd
    Its effects are most apparent among young men, many of whom come of age with no
    understanding of healthy, loving relationships due to their exposure to often
    sexually-violent imagery and behaviour

    One wonders if someboys OH/son was caught with a stash of the oul bondage, because that it is, it has to be said, rather a niche area.

    You could be right, from this Indo article about this meeting earlier in the month:
    Dee Keogh of North and East Kerry Development explained that because porngraphy is now so accessible online and depicts 'every fetish you can imagine' it has become a very serious issue that affects families, children, friends and colleagues.

    A mouth gag and a pair of arseless leather chaps must've been discovered somewhere :pac:

    One wonders if someone is jealous that their kids have a lot better sex than they've ever had. I heard Mary tried doggy style once though!

    I think calling for an outright ban is insane. However, parents need to start sitting down with their kids at a young age to explain that porn is basically a cartoon and that it does not represent sex in real life. You can't blame kids for thinking it might be especially when there are adults out there who believe porn is realistic.

    That's a horrible name for a women's group.

    Ah now why should parents take responsibility for what their children get up to? that's crazy talk blaming everyone else is the only rational way to go

    Big difference is that a kid can't grow up to be superman but they can grow up to enjoy and participate in various forms of sexual activities. Apart from the plumber or pizza guy that gets a blowjob at every house, what's unrealistic about porn? It's based on fetishes, fetishes that a lot of people have. Porn helps people understand what they like and don't like. Sex is such a big part of relationships and people are finding it easier and easier to find a compatible mate because of porn and open sexual attitudes.

    I don't want to be associated with this lot by blaming the internet. If I have kids at any stage would it be ok if I blamed you?

    They want to ban online porn in Ireland? They may as well ban the internet outright.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 19,242 Mod ✭✭✭✭L.Jenkins


    Let's be honest. After you've done your internet banking, checked your emails and browsed Facebook, who doesn't like to beat one off to the odd Redtube video before bed?

    I don't really agree with this, I have watched/watch porn and have had plenty of sexual partners/experience during my adult years. I learned what I liked through my own experiences and not by watching fantasy. I was lucky that my formative sexual years were spent with men who learned about sex through experience rather than watching something on the internet so I never had to conform to an unrealistic expectation when I was very young (18 or so, my earlier boyfriends were way older than me).

    As I got older I met some men that would like to copy things they saw in porn, mostly it was painful for me and something that looks good on screen rather than feels good! Even some of the positions in porn are set up for the camera angles, chances are neither of the actors are getting any pleasure from it. So yea I stand by my cartoon analogy.

    Bloody hell. Lets reopen the Battle Creek Sanitarium while we're at it.

    This post on FB is funny.

    They say this:
    KWIN would like to urge everyone to email/phone/Text/Tweet or Facebook Alex White, the Minister for Communications, to urge him to bring in a Bill to make pornography inaccessible in Ireland as has already been done in the UK.

    They want people to push for censorship but then immediately say under it:
    In supporting this event NEWKD once again proved that it is investing in progressive community development by embracing this initiative from KWIN

    Then finish it off with:
    NEWKD is prepared to hold internet safety courses for anyone who has concerns about the access of pornography by their children, partners, husbands, wives in the near future

    I agree that there should be an adult content filter for all mobile phone users under 18

    A large, enormous part of porn online is amateur content so it's not really right to call porn cartoonish since it has so many genres and types in it.

    I'm not sure about this one. What's so unrealistic about porn? Massive cocks? They exist outside of porn. Anal sex? Was around a long time before the Internet. Group sex? Ditto. Rough sex? Plenty of people enjoy it off camera. Pretty girls with big tits?

    Obviously the porn people watch isn't going to reflect the average Tuesday night in Joe and Mary Murphy's bungalow. But I think people sometimes go a bit far in the whole 'it's not real sex!" thing. Nothing going on in porn that's not going on without a camera in the room too tbh.

    Plenty of things I first came across (ha) in porn I've found to be quite popular outside of it.

    Maybe I'm missing the point though (that happens a lot tbf). What are the things people are specifically talking about that need to be explained to kids that 'aren't real' in porn?

    I mean I can see the value of as part of sex ed explaining to young people that "not everyone is into the same stuff sexually, and not everyone is going to be into something just because you are, so you need to communicate well with people", but that's not a specific porn related thing?

    There's a few things that have come in holds to south Kerry tis true.
