    That just turns into a game. Put a wall in front of a child and they'll just climb over it, or sneak around it. I suppose at least it would encourage inventiveness, finding ways around it.

    Bottom line is most parents are two steps behind their kids when it comes to technology. Children have locked onto technology, it's like they innately know what's going to be important to society in the future.

    At some stage the older generations are just going to have to step back and accept their children are much better at modern society than we'll ever be.

    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?

    Too time consuming man. You need to parallel some of these things. After all - with the improvement in modern UI you can generally do your banking with one hand. I am definitely a one hand banker. So your right hand is free for any other parallel activity. Meanwhile automated reading software can read your emails TO you. So three-in-one.

    That just leaves facebook - which I do not actually use - so maximum efficiency here. Now I just need to find some activity to do with my feet during this time that will annoy the Kerry Womens Group further.

    Isn't there a movement online towards creating more realisitic porn?

    i.e. between couples 'making love' for example and not those staged productions?

    Shouldn't they be encouraging young fellas and young ones to seek out that kind of pornography instead of the formulaic staged porn?

    Ah sure no, better off advocating an outright ban!

    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.

    But you still tried it after seeing it and decided it wasn't for you. If you'd enjoyed it then it would be different. It's a mix or real world experience and porn as a reference for suggestion.

    Why talk honestly about it when shielding them from it so when they actually have it they are completely clueless is a much easier abdication of responsibility and requires less awkward chats.

    That was objected to by the anti drink, anti-drugs and anti fast food people.

    Yea the girls and I prefer to watch that kind of stuff. I mentioned a few sites on boards before like abby winters which is very much "realistic" porn - often performed by people who are genuinely friends or partners in real life too. Or some sites like newbie nudes that facilitate the uploading of your own home made porn.

    But I am also with the user Skoop in questioning exactly what people mean when they say it is unrealistic. I have not seen TOO much stuff in porn in general that I have not also engaged in.

    Perhaps unrealistic is not the word though. There are sometimes things in porn that are realistic but minority practices. The obvious example being porn where the guy(s) in the porn are dominant over the women to the point of engaging in shaming and humiliation.

    Yea some guys and girls are into that - so that is realistic in that sense - but I think (I have no numbers, so it is just my feeling) that this is a minority practice by far. So perhaps it is not that porn is unrealistic - but just not representative.

    But the realism in general I have not had _too_ much issue with. Especially on the amateur or "professionally made amateur" (like abby winters) sites that me and the girls frequent. It can even be a fun game for all concerned to pick a video entirely at random and then spend and hour or two matching exactly what is happening on the screen.

    Iirc correctly it also blocks access to wikipedia pages about the human body.
    Seems a bit victorian to me.

    Nobody wants to watch someone being taken out for dinner to return home to a candle lit bedroom covered in rose petals while they slowly thrust into each other and listen to some marvin gay!

    Unless of course it contains some good anal scenes, a bit of hair pulling and finishes with a splash to the eye.

    Or even worse - watching what happens when the average couple returns home sloshed from the average local. Replete with laying the kebab on the side table saying "Ah sure it will still be warm in 5 minutes".

    Nothing going on in porn that's not going on without a camera in the room too tbh.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that not too many women indulge in a bit of DV-DA for fun.

    I've read that's actually proving to be a false assumption. Younger people en masse are great at Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc but ask them to do a PRAM reset when the USB ports on their MacBook stop working or update their OS and most of them are lost compared to your average thirtysomething.

    That was my favourite scene in Orgasmo. Must watch it again.

    I told you before, that jizzhungrytitsluts.com site you go to isn't a car insurance website. That's porn.

    ALTERNATE JOKE:
    Micky Dolenz, the only man who thinks castingcouch.com is a furniture website.

    How do you figure that? I was under the impression that the ISPs that ban torrent use do so based on the port number(s) the torrent service uses? But porn web sites use the same port numbers (like 80 and 8080 or whatever) as every other website?

    Course its 15 years since I did networking and I now do only programming so perhaps there has been changes :)

    2 entirely different entities, major torrent sites are primarily used to illegally pirate copyrighted media like music / movies / software.

    Porn is not illegal so, no, those women are not right.

    All they basically do is ban the IP address. What's why VPN's have become so popular.

    No I tried things because the men I dated had seen something in porn and decided they wanted to try it. I didn't always says yes, but on occasion saying no meant I was branded frigid or boring.

    I think its unfair that younger adults who grew up in the porn age have to deal with this. And it works both ways, if I had only seen a penis in porn I might think they are all over 8 inches.

    Well that is just plain silly :) IP Addresses are changable. At least banning a port number _works_ to _some_ degree. For example for awhile there my ISP banned the port numbers things like Skype was using to provide Voice over IP phone calls. Thinking this was a one size fits all solution to preventing the users from getting cheap phone calls.

    Until loads of users simply switched ISP of course - at which point they quietly reverted to older fire wall settings :)

    Hehehe if the government did ban porn - could you imagine the guy who had to individually type in ALL the IP Addresses of each and every porn site on the net :)

    Stopping every time to verify the content of each one of course. Messy job.

    Their branding of you is a bad reflection of them and you were sexually incompatible because they seemed more adventurous than you, nothing more. At least you found that out rather than engaging in a long term relationship only to find out in years to come that he's been seeing prostitutes to fulfil his urges because you wouldn't.

    They don't have to deal with it, they can choose not to like you did. But I think it's unfair that older generations grew up without the ability to express their real feelings or desires.

    That's a different argument. That's the unrealistic body image, not the unrealistic act of sex.

    Blanket blocking port numbers on the internet not associated with Ip's what could possibly go wrong....

    It's mad to think that there are lads that have never / will never encounter a woman in real life who has.. how shall I put this.. never had any landscapers on or near her property.

    Porn has saved future generations form so much horror.
