Re: Great Big Social Poll: Pornography

This poll shows a glaring weakness in American society...

Quote:
In a meta-analysis (a statistical integration of all existing scientific data), researchers have found that using pornographic materials leads to several behavioural and social problems.
One of the most common psychological problems is a deviant attitude towards intimate relationships such as perceptions of sexual dominance, submissiveness, sex role stereotyping or viewing persons as sexual objects.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Pornography

This poll always reminds me to update my adult website subscriptions that have expired credit cards.
So, I would like to thank the OP.
Porn simply rules. And these party-pooper conservatives need to chill out and take their time machines back to the 1600's where their puritan views were of value.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. The shit people worry about. . .

Bunch of bedroom Nazis.

Look, I'll admit to looking at porn. I do not have a deviant attitude towards intimate relationships. My wife & I are very healthily intimate, thank you very much.

We don't play any games of sexual dominance, submissiveness, sex role stereotyping or viewing persons as sexual objects. None of that shit. No confusion on my part whatsoever. That doesn't mean I don't like to look at beautiful women who are nude.

I think people who are on a crusade of "morals" have some mighty interesting skeletons in their closet. Wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if Mr. Devyl were a closeted deviant of some sort. Probably hasn't worked out his Oedipal complex yet.

Pervert.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Pornography

I'm surprised that people are saying pornograhpy is harmless. Maybe we've been watching different porn. The stuff you find in Playboy and similar sources isn't too bad, but a google image search with safe search off provides sites that are supremely offensive and (to a small portion of society) actually psychologically damaging. I don't think it should be banned, but keep it some place where I won't notice unless I'm looking for it.

Well, maybe you shouldn't enter "bestiality" into your search engine if you don't want to see Rover getting a hummer, Porras.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Pornography

I think the real pornography is the blood-spattered prime-time TV we have in this country. I can't have on anything but PBS in my house because my 3-year-old son already knows words like "kill" and "murder." I'd much rather my son see some tits than a guy with his face blown off. That's pornographic.

Other than this, I voted for the fourth option. I'd like to say though that I don't think porn should be readily accessible to kids, but that option wasn't there in the poll. Other than that, hey, I see absolutely nothing wrong with pornography being legal and easily accessible.

Side note for those who wish to ban it: If it's not easily accessible, those who shouldn't be getting their hands on it (young kids) will find a way to get it, and will work evern harder to get it just b/c it's taboo.

I have no desire to impose my moral values upon others.

However, this thread isn't about moral values. Do you have anything to offer as far as the topic of the thread goes?

If that were remotely true, you wouldn't have added this:

Yes. Pornography is harmful and should be regulated. It destroys marriages and families. Pornography weakens the moral fabric of American culture. It subjugate women and has a negative value to society. Would you like more?
