Now, it's obvious some of you have some very strange ideas about how other people should live their lives, so I bet I'm on a winner here, argument-wise. Course, could be you're all teenage virgins and internet porn represents your only sexual release and you don't wanna talk about it from sheer embarrassment. I just saw one post where that librarian feller wouldn't even use the word 'arse,' which says a lot.
Now, cards on the table. I like porn, it's a good laugh. Nothing better to look at with your mates over a few tinnies. There may be a few sad muckers out there spend all their time in a darkened room doing the old four-finger shuffle, but it takes all kinds to make a world.
And one more card to throw down: I don't hold with anything that exploits children in any way shape or form. We clear on that?
Go to it!

I say: So? 95% have read the Bible. There's no correlation.
The Japanese have violent-themed porn that makes our stuff look tame. But almost no incidence of rape or other sex crimes. Why? Because the Japanese are generally civilized people.
I watch it. I like it. I've never done anything illegal in that area, though, and I never will. I'm in a loving, monogamous relationship.
I used to get together with four or five friends on weekends when I was in grad school, and rent a couple of the odder ones (ones themed on real movies, -- 'Muffy the Vampire Layer', 'Three Men and a Hooker' -- or 'freaks of nature' ones) and we'd MST3K them till we were blue in the face, making fun of the dialogue, atrocious acting, obvious looping, etc.
I should mention that the above friends were WOMEN.

From a HS friend I recently got in contact with again:
"I had an unofficial premiere of a new short film that I finally got off my ass to make this summer. It's called Pleasureland and it's about porn and 5 out of the 6 actors in it are naked and pretending to fuck. I
have high hopes for it."

Erm... Wouldn't that mean that the majority have not? That would almost suggest that not viewing pornography makes you more likely to commit crimes against women.
Not that those figures could be accurate, anyway. I mean, how can 60% of these guys have never viewed porn, when I'm sure 99.9% of guys over the age of twelve have...?

Which I suppose is better than Hero Megatron (I've just picked up Hero Prime, in a box, for �5. Stupid shop not know how much nice old toy should be).
A purple tank? Sure, that'll be great camoflague. If you're hiding in a yogurt factory.

But by all means, post them here.
Oh, Nimmy: Don't ask why Megatron would hide in a yogurt factory. He's not the most stable of people, y'know. That's what happens when you get possessed by someone who then shares your mind and you meet up with your future-self but it's not really you it's a copy built to look like you that thinks it's you and the real you then tries to kill you so you blow your own head off.
Oi.

Now, I like pornography for the most basic reasons, but there are so many guys, even friends of mine, who watch/read porn mainly because of the sometimes abusing and degrading treatment of women, with anal-sex, excessive facials and such.
I remember a documentary that showed a scene where a poor girl started bleeding (no, not menstruation) but she ignored it because she needed the money, and far be it from the guy to stop, he prolly went IN to the porn business (n.p.i) to be able to degrade girls.
I know I haven't seen or understood ALL aspects of the business as such, and it would be hypocrisy for me to oppose it as a whole, so the double standard of it really bothers me...
"Artful" porn: i.e, Playboy: naked pictures of women. I call this artful, b/c if you've ever gone to an art museum, you see a *lot* of naked women ...
"Degrading" porn -- this is the type just for the hard cash, i.e.: women engaged in sexual acts, et all.

I think separating porn into artful/glamour/erotic, and everything else is a bit simplistic. And you're saying the entire San Fernando Valley-based US porn industry, with its hundreds of starlets, is based on degradation? Does Jenna Jameson feel degraded? Maybe we should ask her...
