Is porn morally...?

There's nothing inherently right or wrong about it. It just is.

 

There is nothing "right" or "wrong" about it to me personally
Its up to the person whether they believe its right or wrong.

Right and wrong is simply a belief system to me

 

I don't see how anyone could make the argument that it's morally wrong. There's nothing really right or wrong about it, it's just a form of entertainment really.

 

It's wrong if you have a strict opinion of monogamy/faithfulness because you're getting your rocks off to pics and videos of people who aren't your significant other.

With that said, I don't think it has an inherent morality. It's just entertainment.

 

Well I don't think its really wrong. It doesn't hurt anyone if your not in a relationship( I wouldn't mind but some people might) and you don't get addicted to it. It just helps release some sexual stress.

 

I don't think it's wrong, but "right" sounds like kind of a stretch. I don't particularly care for it, but it has its place.

 

I don't necessarily think it's healthy. It can desensitize you a bit and give you the wrong impressions about sex.

Then again, I would have absolutely no idea what to do at first if it wasn't for that reference...

 

For me, right and wrong are relative terms, as is the idea of morality in general.

So I'd say that it's neither right nor wrong, but it's certainly not something I see as negative.

It's odd to me that we allow teens to be exposed to so much violence, but with sex, we keep it so hidden. I think you should be able to access porn by at least age 13. Then again, you'd have to be kind of slow these days not to be able to access it via the net even before that age.

 

I'm with OP here, porn in moderation is acceptable but in all reality there is so many variables that can be put into effect that can change the tone of porn being morally anything (i.e Childporn, furry porn, rape scenes, wierd asian fetishes etc etc) That's when the thought of morality comes into question in my eyes. Then again, I'm a minor and I neverrr watch porn... >.>

 

Neither. However, there are many abuses in the porn industry, and those must be prevented, not porn itself.

 

It all depends on the content.

I consider porn wrong if it meets any of the following:

* it depicts simulated or actual harm
* it depicts unhealthy activities, such as unsafe sex
* it depicts unrealistic activities (eg a man ejaculating many times in short succession) without clearly informing the viewer that this is unrealistic

There's a lot of porn out there that meets at least some of those criteria. But porn that avoids those pitfalls is fine, in my opinion. Not something I'd want to see, but I don't think it should be banned either.

 

I don't like it at all, it's horrible. But after all it is just the human body. It's like saying that eating a cake is morally wrong.

 

Neither.

It only can give you a thrill for a short while. A 15 minute sampling is often enough. It's also better when it has participants you like. It then gets boring. Well photographed B&W stills are way sexier.

Either way, I might watch some once every 2 or 3 weeks for about 15 minutes.

I don't make a moral association with this choice. I do know that people are addicted and that it can be an expensive addiction. Some people actually rent or buy porn regularly.

Now, as for starring in porn, that's a different story. Many porn stars have difficulties either while in this career, or after, mainly with substance abuse. It must be hard to look back and see that the world only knows you as a sex machine and for specific body parts, and not as a person. Some of their stories are more tragic than movie stars who are icons, which was already discussed in another thread. And I meant to say Judy Garland, not Dorothy Garland. Sorry.

 

more or less sitting on the fence hear.

 

Nothing wrong with it, there's just nothing right with it either. It only becomes wrong if you're masturbating an unhealthily amount and it starts to effect your life.

 

im against porn. this site explains the problems with it for anyone interested
Myths of Porn

 

I don't think it's either, really. I don't watch it and I think it's really gross, but it's people'
s right to do it if they want. I believe if you are a consenting adult it is your right to use your body for money (and because of this, I believe prostitution should be legal, also, yeppers). Besides, some pornstars actually LIKE their jobs, and I believe there is a study out there that says they are overall more confident people.

People have actually mentioned to me that...well, Imma just say this: apparently there is a pretty big market out there for transgender porn, and others have suggested that once I get a little deeper into my transition and feminize more, that I should be a camgirl to pay for some of the things I will need for my transition (ie, SRS) I really don't want to do that at ALL, even if I *could* or if I *were* pretty enough (sounds shallow and awful, but I really don't think I am), but I will be honest - if things ever got desperate enough, and that was an option, I wouldn't be totally close-minded to it.....

I know that sounds awful and like I'm selling out to those creepy "tranny chasers" and I'm soo ashamed to say it, but there it is...

 

It's not porn, it's a majority of the porn industry.
