Poll: Porn.

[Asturiel]

Please don't get this the wrong way, but:
It seems freaky, to you, that two people have sex on film, but it doesn't strike you as (even a little) odd that you watch two(or more) cartoon characters pleasure eachother sexually?

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's similar to say having a fantasy of sleeping with a celebrity, it's not real. He wants to see sexuality but not necessarily see it carries out in the real world.

Or at least thats what I'm gathering.

[sub]I do enjoy hentai from time to time but mostly just for really obscure situations that would never happen in real life, ergo hentai can have it happen.[/sub]

Yep I likely used the word "ergo" wrong, wana fight about it?

 

[s0denone]

Eh. I don't care if people watch it.

I stick with hentai personally, but real porn just...kinda creeps me out.

I'm not prudish but the idea of fucking people on film for thousands of people to watch is freaky to me.

No, it doesn't.

It's a fucking cartoon. It's not real.

So it comes down to you being disgusted(or at the very least turned off) by actual porn, seeing as you don't like it real? It creeps you out. That's what you wrote.

What is the difference with Hentai? It's cartoon characters, but they still moan and squeal in ecstasy, don't they? How is watching a Japanese cartoon man(or monster, in some cases) have sex with a Japanese cartoon woman less real than two actual people having sex? I realise they're not actually having sex, given that it's a cartoon, but it still looks like they're having it - what with the penetration and what-not.

Please: Don't take it as insults... I am just baffled, frankly.

Better than having teenagers jack off sneakily to neighbors or however it used to work back before porn.

 

[CoverYourHead]

'Eh, it's fine. Everyone is a consenting adult, they're making money, and it doesn't hurt anyone.

How is watching Tom fellate Jerry the same as having a celebrity-fantasy? A celebrity fantasy is real... Mostly in the sense that you would definitely not refuse the given choice of your affection (Megan Fox) if (s)he approached you.
You wouldn't really turn down Tom/Jerry/TentacleRapist if they approached you either... Because that's simply impossible.

You can have fantasies about the celebrity, or even think of him/her when having sex with someone else. Do you really able yourself to think of the TentacleRapist when you're with your chosen boy- or girlfriend?

EDIT: I'm sorry if this seems incoherent, but I was up late last night and tired as hell now(It's around 1am in Denmark right now).

 

[Fusoiya]

People actually call it prostitution?

hmmm you learn new things everyday,
anyways euhm I gues I don't mind it. Altough I'm gonna jump on the hentai bandwagon in here and say that hentai really doesn't do it for me :/ dunno I just don't get "turned on" by it.

Yes, that's it. I think real porn is kinda creepy. I don't want to see 2 people whoring themselves for entertainment purposes. I'm not saying it's wrong or immoral, I'm just saying I don't like it.

It's a cartoon and it's not real.

Beeeeeecause it's a cartoon. Last time I checked, cartoons aren't real unless somehow animation has become a living organism

I realise they're not actually having sex, given that it's a cartoon, but it still looks like they're having it - what with the penetration and what-not

Yeah, that's why I get off to it. They're having fictional sex. Cartoon sex. It's not real. The only real thing about it are the people doing the voices, but since I typically read my hentai, the people writing/drawing it.

In all honesty, I'm not gettin gwhat this argument is about. Hentai/manga is a cartoon. Regular pornography is real. I prefer the former to the latter because it's purely fictional.

Do We want to live in an Internet without Porn?

My example is just divorcing yourself further from reality. Perhaps the idea that people will actually do this infront of an audience troubles him, but the fact an anonymous team of people came together and created that same thing with no one person to see doing it seems more reasonable to him. Since arousal is delicate and special for everybody seeing that performed by real people doing this act that he may see better reserved for another time ends the whole process. Thats the opposite effect than wanted.

Porn is a natural empowering thing and it's complete fantasy as long as it doesn't involve children or Animals apart from Trouser Snakes I see no reason to complain

 

[WolfmanNougat]

I'm from the UK, where certain newspapers feature pictures of topless girls on the third page and you can just pick naughty magazines from off of the shelves in most newsagents, without having to fuss too much about the whys and wherefores of it all.

So yeah, you can probably guess that it's fine by me. If the publishers and distributors clearly aren't bothered, why should I be?

 

[mokes310]

Absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.

 

[Vault Citizen]

I used to watch porn but have stopped since now I just find it boring and repetitive. Especially lesbian porn, I had a dvd once and after a few minutes they were just repeating themselves, there's only so much of that I could watch before it stopped being interesting.

I'm lazy as fuck. I can see your point, Asturiel - but that still makes no sense to me.
Thanks for not forcing me to word a point so eloquently at this hour.

Refer to the bolded part of Asturiels post.

Is that where you're coming from? Porn is porn. That's what you're saying. Hentai porn is still porn.
If that is where you're coming from, do you mind explaining the logic of it all?
Is there a backstory? Have you been videotaped by a boy- a girlfriend, without your consent?

 

[Claymorez]

I am curious to know. Different countries have different ages of consent for sex ergo you can be in porno/watch porn at differnt ages. I liv in the uk where the age of consent is 16 but in countries like Germany the age of consent is 14. Ergo if someone who is german comes to the uk it seems inane that If they watch porn involving people younger than 16 it's considered peddophilia. So I want to know what peoples views on what the age of consent thy think should be set for porn as lots of you talk about consenting adults and yet this duffers greately country to country. Btw I think personally 14 is too young and 16 is about right.

Edit: forgive my spelling it's getting late and I am using my iPod

Also I would post a certain song from avenue q here if I wast on my iPod somone will thou... Yes you all know the one ;p

 

[Sexbad]

Of course it's immoral. But I'm immoral too.

 

[jamesworkshop]

Porn's just great actually I just finished watching some choice material

Porn is a product (video, copyrighted images)
prostitution is a service

So porn is not prostitution

Porn is big. It's massive. It's beyond comprehension. Read that and you'll understand

My opinion is it's the actors choice if they want to be in it and I personally love watching it.
Even for guys like me who have girlfriends, porn still rocks my nuts off
Let the porn continue!

 

[Yureina]

"Meh".

I don't partake in it and I don't care. Its really that simple.
