Porn: Good or Bad?

[Markus Asraelius]

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and so every time I go to a bookstore I see what I call the 'For Mormons Only Section.' Anyways, there is always those books on the subjects of porn and it's addictions.

Now, Porn has been blamed for failed marriages and the way men think after they have viewed a lot of pornography. It is said (by women mostly) that men who view pornography expect all their sexual partners to be perfect and everything so they won't want to touch who know their less than perfect partners and spouses.

Now, I believe that this rampage aganist porn addiction really stems from a narrow-minded female who just didn't like it that her man liked to look at porn just as much (or maybe more) than her.

As far as my personal opinions on porn, I believe that porn can be good and useful if it's used in moderation. I don't believe it's bad at all. But, if you are watching and looking at it too much, I think it can be a problem to the point where it's almost like a drug. You just can't get it out of your head.

But, in my opinion, if a responsible person is viewing (regardless of whether or not he's in a relationship), then he should be allowed to view it. Responsible being you're of an appropiate age, it's not illegal to view stuff like that in your area, it's the apporpiate time period, the appropiate place, etc...

But, I also want to stress the facts that men are the only ones viewing it. In fact, there was a poll done and it said that 4 out of 10 women view some sort of pornographic material on a regular basis. It was on a educational show about marriage that I watched.

Anyways, I'm in sort of one those moods today where I want to express myself very clearly but basically what I want to know is: 1) Do you believe that porn is good or bad. 2) Do you believe that men (and women) viewing porn harms their relationships

if you are single then go for it, if you have a girlfriend then really whats the point in watching it? she should be enough. and yes it does ruin relationships, its ruining mine. my boyfriend is obsessed , yes obsessed im just using that word because im mad.

Porn is neither good or bad.

It is fucking great 

[Evolution]

If you are in a relationship, you should avoid it. But if not, and it's 100% legal go ahead.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

porn is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood  .even in a realationship its good as long as you both can watch it together then it becomes part of a healthy sex life.its not dirty,its natural to get horny watchin another couple havin sex.

[Markus Asraelius]

I think the point of a man watching it in a relationship is for the couple to watch it together and be turned on together.

But, if he's watching it by himself then maybe that's means another thing or things. It could be that the woman is not giving him any.  She's not giving it to him often enough.  Or It could mean that he really is just obsessed with it perhaps before the relationship started but know I'm starting to sound like a shrink so I better shut up.

porn is great. porn makes me happy to be alive. just saying the word porn makes me feel really good.

women shouldn't get so jealous when they boyfriends watch porn. get over it.

watching porn with your partner is good stuff. 

[Chelle]

You might as well have said... "I've been single my entire life!"? ?


Just kidding? ?

Men and Women do have a different conception. For most of women it's disgusting, for most of men it's natural.
It's due to our human nature, the domination is part of men's characteristics, it's psychological and also physicall, we want to dominate, it's an animal pulsion, and watching porn is watching men dominating women and doing what the fuck they want with women. It's the strong sex (male) VS the weak sex (female). Question of psychological domination. It stimulates us and exites us. On the contrary, women feels the exact opposite feeling, they feel humiliated in porn movies, they have more sensibility for love than for pure sex. Don't forget that when they are 4, 5 or 6 years old, the girls think about the charming prince, play to Barbies, think about affection, dream and love....and the boys think about playing war; with mini soldiers doing war in toys, or play to the war as a game with their friends like "who's gonna kill the other first?".

It's the human nature. boys VS girls, and later men VS women.

It's the human nature.

There are other types of porn as well.

The're girl on girl contact (put me in the middle baby.)
The're guy on guy contact
The're threesomes and sex parties on film with all sorts of different genders. MMF, MFF, MMFF.

You get the picture, right?

ok ok, I just talked about "normal" sex. heterosexual relationship.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Im into that... too

[MadmanDan]

I'm not a big fan of porn, most of it suffers from a huge lack of imagination...blow job-pussy ?licking-normal sex-anal sex-cumshot is all that happens. I always thought that male pornstars must be the worst lovers in the world, they can't touch a woman, they can't kiss a woman, they just stick it in there and start pushing. But maybe that's just on camera...


On the other hand, watching porn has helped me a lot with women during my teeneage years. In my first sexual experiences I was not disoriented, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do with it...so yes! Porn is educational! ?

I guess that's like asking if sex is bad. It's harmless if you keep in mind that it's just fantasy.
It's never bothered me personally.

I don't think porn harms relationships. If a relationship breaks up, then it probably had more to do with incompatibility.

[nesquick]

I think too much porn is bad. Real love is not like porn movies.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i have a hot girlfriend with big boobs, so seeing a pornstar dont do anything to me.
if i was with an ugly chick, i would be pissed and i would reconsider my situation.
well that's just me. i'm superficial.

my baby would slit my throat if she sees porn on my computer. fortunally i'm oldschool on the internet and too busy in life, and porn would be a waste of bandwith and time

yeah well

[D]

Porn is neither good or bad.

It is fucking great?

 


HAHAHA great one!!


People are too fuckin uptight. Porn is great. I dont care if I got some 5 times a day Id still find some time to watch porn.

People need to chill and relax when they bitch about porn.

Sex is a great thing, people are too uptight about it.

[Markus Asraelius]

I'd have to agree with D here. I think people are really too uptight about it.

I think sex and sexuality are beautiful and they should be treasured and loved for what they are. You should never deprive the body of what it needs.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

so you consider watchin people haveing sex on a screen "sexuality" .....? ? as for everything, why watch ? do. 

[Markus Asraelius]

so you consider watchin people haveing sex on a screen "sexuality" .....? ? as for everything, why watch ? do.?

No but I consider watching porn an application of someone's sexuality. Sexuality is defined by concern or interest in sexual activity or as sexual character or potency.
