Whilst much is said about the benefits of the “adult” film industry, little is said about the descrutive elements.
Few thing I’d like to hear about;
* How many men have lost good relataionships by it?
* How about the ’stars’ that have been destroyed by it – your daughters / sisters / mothers etc?
* What about those who are addicted?
* Who has been caught when the lines become blurred?
Never understood why “adult” films have such a childish view on sex.
-YES: I have seen those interviews with porn stars saying how geat it all is…
-YES: I have heard the `experts` say how much it encourages honesty in a relationship
- YES: I’ve heard the stories of how they have substituted for sex-education in stuffy right-wing homes & schools.
- YES: I have heard “porn-is-art” arguements.
- YES: I have seen some …
- YES: I do beleive in the principles of freedom of speech & democray.
Your thoughts/experiences pls – sensible answers only if you can.
Thanks a bunch -Brad M

    Im so glad someone with some intelligence has had the courage, to ask this contraversial question.I feel that there is nothing positive about the poon industry, it is only positive to those who need it to earn a living by it,those who defend it, are the addicts who thrive on it, who cannot lead a normal life, these film makers take advantage of those who become dependant on it.It’s like a drug dealer who encourages someone to try drugs for the first time and then gets them hooked, will then exploit the weakness ,of that individual and will do anything to justifiy that exploitation, the porn industry in my opinion is no different.It does not encourage healthy habits, healthy lifestyle or healthy libido, or attitudes to women and sex in fact, it fills the watcher with false illusions of how sex really is, and really should be.It concentrates on getting instead of giving, and lust instead of love, are these really healthy attitiude’s that we should be passing on to our children in a society that is already contaminated with the policy of. ‘ Whatever goes..is ok…coz we are adults ‘ and rampant perverted sex crimes.?…Sex education should be done at home by parents using their own discretion and sadly it is not, if it has to be taught in schools, porn is a very distorted and iresponsible, and childish way of teaching ‘ ‘CHILDREN ‘ about the emotions of sex and responsibilities of sex.This decision is made no less by adults, who are supposed to be caring for the welfare and future of children placed under their daily supervision.

    Bingo! It’s all about personal responsibility tho when also considering who cashes in on irresponsibility along personal responsibility.
    I’ve even heard the marital therapy excuse which is bottom line a couple who is not applying themselves to their marriage for what ever excuse they seek. Bottom line that is aka as lacking in creativity and possibly laziness coupled with irresponsibility in marriage. So, they seek help from an industry that backs porn as a crutch or solution that ends up getting way out of hand in a family setting by choice…consequences follow.
    I’ve also heard young adults claim it’s normal and that everyone is doing it. Who informed via bragging that public sex is appropriate? One who buys it is part of the public and so is one who brags when it ends in consequences – dah.
    The opposite and that which has nothing to do with sex is being attacked as “sexual”…such as holding hands with a spouse or hugging a son/daughter/aunt/grandparent, friend, etc which is not perverted. Ignore assumption that brews up conflict and attempts to replace truth. After all, adults are part of the public and can also *think & do what is acceptable which does not include plastic affection and it never will*.
    Good points to ponder questioner for those that are concerned about their lives and the lives of others.

    It makes it look as if women HAVE to be gorgeous
    It’s a very bad sexual education wich is, unfortunately, mistaken for healthy good sexual education
    It doesn’t encourage honesty in a relation, where did that came from?:)) It changes nothing about his
    On the other hand:
    If porn movies destroy a relation, it is because the relation is not based on that much really – I find that to be a very silly reason to brake up with someone
    The “stars” that have been destroyed by it made their choice, there’s nobody to blame cause they have chosen this way of making money
    Porn is not an art, it’s a product. They say sex sales. Hell yes, it does

    Porn is good

    There is nothing inherently destructive about pornography. As with anything else, its the individual users methods and amounts that cause the problems. And, since everyone is unique, its effects can vary from person to person. I know lots of guys who like porn, and use it on occasion with no negative effects.
    Humans can get carried away with any activity and cause damage with it. Food, religion, and physical activity are all examples of things that can be beneficial, but can also be destructive if misused. But, if a person destroys himself with french fries, it doesnt mean the french fries were evil. It was that particular individuals inability to control himself that was the problem, not the fries.
    As far as porn destroying relationships, that would depend on the partners reaction to the porn. If your girlfriend flips out because she finds a porn magazine in your workshop, its her emotional over-reaction to the porn that is the issue, not the porn itself.

  6. Beastie Says:

    Well, it hacks of my fiance that I feel the need to look at it then lie to her about it ( ie I have not been surfing porn all day) so much so that I’ve decided I don’t need it.
    No more smut on my hard drive. There’s a difference between losing my missus and not getting a fix of what is essentially a mild addiction.
    That difference is internet porn does not cuddle like my missus does, and I’m not risking her deciding I’m not worth the effort.
    Porn itself doesn’t bother her, me lying about it does.

    There are a number of ways of approaching this question and likely a GREAT MANY acres of print that could be used in response….
    Obviously, there is the Good & Bad or Positive & Negative in pretty much everything. Water keeps us alive whilst you can drown in it. Doctors are life savers unless it’s a Dr Harold Shipman type. Cars make life easier ~ unless they run over you, etc etc etc.
    As for ‘Porn,’ like religion, it’s what is done with it, its variety of attitudes that emerge from within its manifestations and how it’s used ~ or the lack of the variations on the theme and the potentials that colour outlooks of the users.
    A gun can help defend, a gun can be the tool for murder, so a lot depends on the user and his / her outlooks on life and relationships ~ just as in Love = Selfishness, or Love = Giving.
    So-called ‘Adult films’ often portray such a childish view of sex because (in my view) they tend to bare it to the bone, and our social history of sex itself has been repressed and thus hidden, and so tends to have the typical childish response to it [ or the 'knee jerk reaction' ~ with the emphasis heavily on the 'jerk reaction' ].
    Few thing I’d like to hear about;
    * How many men have lost good relationships by it?
    Just how would you go about asking and collating this information?
    * How about the ’stars’ that have been destroyed by it – your daughters / sisters / mothers etc?
    Ditto……….
    There are likely countless numbers who have been damaged (to greater or lesser degrees) by the subject ~ their parts played in it ~ by diseases ~ through jealousies etc ~ relationships destroyed and so one ….And, I’m not defending it and what has happened to the injured parties. What I would strongly suggest is that ‘those parties would have been likely injured by some~thing sooner or later. If it wasn’t porn, then probably something like gambling or alcohol.
    Troubled individuals are just that, ‘troubled,’ and their distractions from the daily life are found in ‘their looking for distractions.’ Any damage done is going to be done ~ even if porn and / or cocaine were eradicated from all human references.
    Much damage has been done to individuals through the doctrinal use of religion ~ however well intended it has been used, the damage is done.
    Finally, I have read a number of books on the ‘Negatives’ of porn, of the Bad, of the Destructive aspects of it ~ and for the moment cannot think of a single title of one!
    I think the writer ‘Shere Hite’ has written on it (amongst much much else on human relationships in broad general terms), ‘Gaye Telese’ too (unsure of the spelling of HIS name though now) and others, both in book and magazine articles over the years.
    Because of the ‘Freedom’ we have within society, it also allows for the ‘bad / negative / distasteful’ elements of sex out, and this maybe has a resonance with those who can only live with the sound bites of so-called ‘Reality’ TV and it’s kin. And they feed off of each other in a way which seems to do very little for the betterment of the grounding of our lives in relationships.
    Sash.

    Porn is part of human nature and akin to prostitution and ‘white slavery’ but with the growth of a cynical and opportunistic ’sex industry’ it has become total exploitation for money.

  9. pandasex Says:

    i look at it on a regular basis and it has caused some bumps in my relationships. I never replace a person with porn. I think it is very cliche to only think of porn as a boys only club. i encourage other women to come out and admit they too watch porn on occasion. My only destructive thing is after a while i get bored with it and need to find other films. I have never made a porn but know women and men who have. I have worked on the adult industry and find the same issues with the jobs as any other. Drug use is kind of a regular story with certain ppl. I would like to know why u have something against adults looking at porn?

  11. green_ki Says:

    Some argue that it is all in how a person uses porn that determines whether or not is harmful, but I disagree.
    First of all, it is degrading to the people in the videos. It idealizes what people should look like. Also, it creates unrealistic expectations in the viewer of what similar experiences should be like, then causing damage to relationships.

    ur gonna go blind if u keep watching it

  13. ' Empty Nester ' Says:

    I don’t know that much about the negative effects of porn, but for me it has become a substitute for what was once a sporadic sex life, but is now a non existent one with little hope for any chance I’ll ever be able to salvage it. No, I don’t abuse it. I doubt if I even spend as much as an hour a week on the average watching it. But, it’s all I have and that’s about all I have to say about it…
