What's wrong with porn? — Page 2

Mary definitely got a bad rap, I agree with Dolly.

The amount of business she lost by having god's son as a client must have been substantial.

I mean, talk about a tough act to follow. I bet a lot of guys felt they couldn't measure up.

Do they show porn?


Seriously, to echo what Namo said, politicians don't care about porn. It brings too much $$ into the American economy...but boy does condemning it sound buzzy to Red State types.

It's so funny how these people always doth protest too much. And then are the ones caught in some bathroom or motel with some confused rentboy or underage prostitute, or on Craiglist seeking the service of anyone.

I'd like to see their search histories and hard drives opened up for inspection.

This reminds me of my favorite episode of Coupling.

Men like porn. Why waste energy fighting something that's been around longer than the written word? Porn existed in Jesus's time; if he had such a big problem with it, he would have specifically brought it up.

Okay, now they're thinking about it.

Yawper is just trying to be a contrarian.

The Japanese have blurry genitalia.

I think that plot COULD be used to make the Citizen Kane of pornos- imagine a box'o'porn that makes whoever touches it act out one of the scenes depicted inside! I'd take it to the Republican Convention in Tampa for a day, then on BYU to film some good stuff.

Unsexy unmotivated performances, unimaginative technique, a lack of sensuality, playfulness, zest and enjoyment; fake breasts, waxing and overgrooming, women faking orgasm, men bringing themselves to orgasm rather than being brought to it by their....

Oh, you mean what's MORALLY wrong with it. Sorry.

You know, there's a movie musical to be found in this--sort of a "Footloose" about Republicans.

A young politician comes into Red State to clean up the adult video stores and finds out that there are none because everyone has their own stash.

Nick Jonas would work very well as the lead.

It was poorly worded but since it's become so easy to find online I think it has changed the way younger people especially think about sex. And I think mostly that's not a good thing. There is no denying that porn has become more mainstream--and I think the fact people talk about more openly is good. But I'm not sure it's a good thing for younger teens to be able to see anything they want (and yes I sound old, and yes I'm talking in circles).

I still found it too--and by the time I was 16 or so it was getting easier to find on the net though the WWW still hadn't really happened (this was '96). I dunno, maybe I think if you have to seek it out it's worth more :P Either way I do think ever since it's become just a click away it HAS rapidly become even more a part of the mainstream and I don't think that's all a good thing, as sex positive as I consider myself.

Particularly not for young teens who go to lame American (sorry guys) schools where they don't teach proper sex ed an their parents refuse to discuss sex. Similarly a friend of mine who works at a gay youth center has said how many *under 15* year olds think barebacking is cool--and frankly, while I think an uneducated gay teen who just wanted to have sex and/or feel love would be likely to make the mistake of not having his first time be with a condom, the amount of bareback gay porn has caused problems (and the majority of straight porn is "bareback" anyway--I'm always shocked how many of my straight friends think it's fine as long as the girl is on the pill to not wear a condom).

I'm sure TheatreDiva will disagree with me again, and I don't think I'm really expressing myself clearly anyway to be fair, but...
