Thoughts On Porn

Its wrong but I enjoy it :x

 

Totally agree. :icon_wink

 

No one has given any explanation as to why they believe what they believe yet.

 

I don't really like it at all. (This is going to sound totally un-manly...)

I think it's a bad representation of sex and relationships, which is making young males (it's usually boys, but some girls too) act in a way they feel they should, but that's wrong. I have personal experience of this. My first boyfriend tried to do stuff with me, that he'd obviously seen done in porno's, and I just felt horribly embarrassed and uncomfortable. Plus he tried to move way too fast in our relationship.

I also think it's stupid because most of it is fake, and not to mention that neither of the partners actually look like their in love, and to me, sex is something that you do with someone you love. I can understand why some people go to bars to hook up and get laid, but biologically speaking, sex is meant to be with a loving partner. Sex releases the "love hormone" oxytocin, which binds you to the other person. It usually is more prominent in women than men, so having sex with someone you don't care about is bound to end badly.

 

I've never watched any of any kind, but from what I've heard, it seems entirely unerotic and a bit horrible. Agreed with BoiGeorge that sex is special and should be treasured-the idea of watching other people doing it, people that probably don't know eachother very well and almost certainly don't want to be doing it just isn't that nice.

 

Also sex is very emotional for me. R rated fanfic is much better if you want to read "Sexy-tiems" because it describes the emotions of the characters (provided the fanfic is good), not just a random oil-covered dude banging a blonde bimbo..

 

I think it is wrong as well. I have watched it but i don't particularly enjoy it. I'm not really disgusted by it, i just think its something that society could do without. It cannot encourage anything good and can only encourage bad aspects. I also think it can give people wrong misconceptions about sex which is something that i believe should be related to love rather than just something to please its viewers. I guess i am also a little conservative when it comes to decency...

 

I love porn and pornstars I don't know why but I find that they are sexy and confedint

 

I enjoy porn and do not think it demoralizes sex. Like its commonly said on YouTube, if you don't like it, you can just not watch it. There are tons of people who love and practice porn out there (amateur videos and stuff) and do not care about being filmed during sex, so we shouldn't take their fun away from them for no reason. Sure, most porn (gay or straight) is bad, but I know of a couple of TV channels and websites where it's quite good and sexy. Anyone wants some recommendations? ;-)

 

I don't know how to feel abt [striaght] porn. I don't feel that gay porn is as bad as straight porn tbh.

On one hand, it's not immoral, and I don't feel that having sex for money is wrong at all.

On the other hand, the treatment of women in the porn industry is repulsive, and it only contributes to societal misogyny, by reinforcing that women are sex objects. Many of the women in the porn industry are also forced into it [usually for economic reasons], and iirc a study found that the vast majority of women involved do not want to do it, so it's not really any different from rape in those situations.

So really, I don't think porn itself is inherently bad, but that the porn industry is horrible and that that is the problem.

 

Ah, and it all comes together.

Do you eat ham, shrimp, lobster, or crab? What do you think of tattoos? Have you ever had a rounded haircut (as in shape)? Ever read a horoscope, or gossiped about anyone? Done any form of work on a Sunday? Have you ever worn two types of cloth at once? All of these things are forbidden, and most are explicitly punishable by death.

Did you know that post-op transwomen are expressly forbidden to even be a part of the christian church? Same goes with anyone whose penis or testicles have been removed somehow (Deuteronomy 23:1)

Did you know that the bible forbids women to speak in church?

Do you know what the bible says about porn?

Absolutely nothing.

Back to the subject at hand, i do like porn but like anything, some of it is good and some of it is bad. In fact some of it is down right deplorable morally.

A lot of it isn't though. I really, really enjoy watching people masturbate, especially when they orgasm, it's a huge turn on. No fake orgasms either, i want genuine, please. I also enjoy porn of people ACTUALLY ENJOYING having sex with each other. Acting doesn't do it for me as much.

Anyway, amateur pornography is generally more enjoyable than the professional stuff for me.

 

Please bear with me I have some comments regarding this subject:

Porn in itself I have nothing against, and personally I enjoy watching porn,
but some of the practices within the porn industry (or what little I know of it) I disapprove. As Jim has stated, porn instills a lot of ideas into young minds that are unrealistic, and sometimes would try to perform sex acts they think might be cool, but which their partners might not be comfortable with

In addition, some of the things promoted within the porn industry is just down right dangerous. In recent years certain pornographic companies have been avid makers of "bareback" (i.e. performing sex acts without condoms) videos. These acts may be safe in the studio since all the performers have been tested for STDs, but they still give out a very dangerous message, that it's OK, even "hot" not to use protection during sex.

Some may argue that it's always someone's personal choice whether to watch a certain type of porn or to watch porn at all. But in many ways, porn offers much more than sexual gratification, they also function (in some limited way) as mediums which shape our views on sex. For example, say some teenager in a tiny, isolated town found that he had same-sex attraction to other men. Presuming he has internet, porn would probably be the first channel where he can actually see what "gay sex" actually is like. In this case gay pornography poses a very bad example.

Furthermore, the lack of a union (this I am unsure, if i am wrong please correct me) for porn performers means that in many ways they can be easily exploited. This is particularly serious in companies with their bases located overseas. Many young people in relatively poorer Eastern European countries are being exploited in the pornographic industry, as they can be paid less than performers in, say the US and laws over there are also more lax. In Asia, the general apathy the government has towards these industries mean that underage people often gets exploited as performers.

Overall, I don't think pornography is inherently immoral or that people should stop making it. But there needs to be much more regulation regarding how porn is made, and the message they may convey.

 

What about porn of sex between a real couple enjoying themselves? I've made sex videos with partners before, because we both wanted to. We didn't get paid, or sell anything, we just did it for fun. Is that as morally objectionable to you?

 

i've never watched it and don't particularly want to. but i don't think it necessarily wrong per say, it's just something that holds absolutely no appeal to me. if two people want to have sex infront of a camera and sell it- that's entierly their choice, but i will just make the choice not to view it.

 

There is nothing wrong with it the porn industry is a booming industry becoming more popular everyday. Because people enjoy it so much I myself enjoy porn and I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all. They are people like anyone else who just prefer to have sex on camera SO WHAT! I would do it in a heart beat there are 2 types of people as Britney Spears says in her song "circus" the ones that entertain and the ones that observe some are observers or in this case "watchers" and some are the performers. I say you have the body the looks the courage go for it we all have SEX so what if it's on camera and people watch it?? Doesn't seem to stop people from enjoying it. And the pay is good

As for bareback sex in the porn industry an saying people think it cool.... maybe they do but don't blame the porn industry they have warnings before and say that they don't recommend bareback sex. I can watch some murder case in tv it doesn't mean I'm going to go kill someone, we make out choices sure they might put the idea in our heads about bareback but it's your choice to do so so to blame the porn industry... That's CRAZY.
