Poll: Pornography, good? bad? something in between?

[kurupt87]

Nothing wrong with porn, in my eyes. Well, I try to aim away from my eyes but you get the point.

I think Lesbian porn should be required viewing in male sex-ed classes. If you're going to teach kids what fucking is you should at least give them an idea of how to do it RIGHT. The female orgasm does exist you misogynistic little shits but you have to WORK for it!

I... what? Is this a joke I'm missing?

With lesbians, the women don't have to fake it.

Ahaha...

Oh wait, you're serious?

BAHAHAHA

Porn is fine, but I understand why some people don't like it.

I don't know if it's beneficial, though it could be argued that it prevents sexual violence. (Maybe?) since it can be simulated legally and such. (That's totally made up, though I'd imagine it would. Not that I'm qualified to make a statement like that. )

I do think it's rather funny that prostitution is illegal unless you film it, then it's perfectly legal porn.

Do you mean that watching child pornography might prevent someone from going out and raping a child? I don't know if that would work, but it's an interesting idea.

It doesn't work. At least, not in the most eggregious cases. When police track down a predatory, murderous pedophile, their homes are usually littered with enough pornographic material to drown a buffalo.

Its neither good or bad, its subjective to the indevendaul. But for the most part its just there.

 

[Rawne1980]

I like porn.

I honestly don't care if people don't, i'm still going to watch it.

 

[Sparrow]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I like the sight of a nude woman as much as any heterosexual man, but I will never ever understand the appeal of watching 2 (or more) other people bumping uglies. Esp. oral sex, yuck.

I think for the most part, on some level, you're supposed to imagine you're the guy in the video. Guess that's the point of all the point of view porn.

Right. So, you want to show kids how to properly give women orgasms? That's... not the point of sex ed. Sex ed is about teaching kids out to have sex safely, not some Vouge-style Top 10 Tips For Making Your Man Ejaculate session where a guy points out on a diagram how best a man should "stimulate the clitoris".

Also, what do you mean "they don't have to fake it"? Man, lesbian porn is probably ten times more fake than straight porn. It's WWE levels of fake. You really think the girls in those videos are gay? Come on, man. Well. They're lesbians so they can't come on m-- ahem, I think you get my point.

I also don't reeeally get the point of your reasoning. Do lesbians have some sex superpower in which they can sexually please both men and women without any practice? Gay guys, straight guys, gay women, straight women... at some point they're all amateurs, with no clue how to please someone. Your entire point just seems ridiculous, as if men are completely unable to please women. If anything, you just seem hell-bent on emasculating men for some reason.

Porn is nothing special, it's just an alternative genre of film.

The appeal is still lost on me. I'd rather just look at nude women and then use my imagination.

 

[Carnagath]

Porn as a product is, I think, extremely beneficial to adults, especially those who do not have an active sex life for whatever reason. I believe that we would see many more incidents of rape or suicide if porn didn't exist to pacify lonely people and take their minds off their troubles.

As an industry, I have no personal knowledge of its conditions, but from what I have read, some professionals do treat it as something that's very important to their well-being, and are even actively fighting in defense of it. I do however believe that these people are fewer than the ones that have been consumed both mentally and physically by their involvement in it. I generally don't think of it as an industry that one can choose to go into and expect that things are mostly going to be fine for them.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

I don't see any real problem as long as folks keep in mind that it's not perfectly realistic.

First of all: emphasis on 'have to'
Second of all: They're not really gay? COLOR ME SHOCKED!
I wasn't talking about their true sexual orentation, I was talking about them actually enjoying themselves.

But then, I usually only watch the videos that last longer that ten mins, so maybe the majority of them are shit.

Yes, they do "have to". Lesbian porn tends to be a slower paced, lovey-dovey affair; without the orgasm(s) it defeats the point. They're used to express that lovey atmosphere.

Hetero porn tends to be about a male power trip; giving the woman a good, hard boning. Her orgasms are used to express her awe at the man's power.

It's all bullshit, though both are obviously real things. I think it's a reason why amateur stuff has become so popular, what the watchers see is real.

 

[Biodeamon]

it all the depends on the subject really...

[Jonluw]

The concept of porn is just fine and dandy. There's nothing inherently wrong about it, but the industry has problems.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I sometimes get bothered that the industry has a habit of exploiting women who're in difficult situations. But at the same time I know someone who models fetish gear and rather enjoys her job.
Ima keep watching it and just hope that I'm not indirectly funding anything nasty.

I don't think the argument that it gives young boys (or girls) an overly awry idea of sex actually holds a whole lot of weight. I think most people recognize that what they're seeing isn't realistic and even if they don't, they soon will.

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

I can't watch it.

It makes me all giggly and embarassed.

(I'm like that in films as well. At certain points, I bashfully burry my head in something)
