The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I'm guessing that there's quite a wide range of age groups on this forum, so (hopefully) there'll be a few different views on porn.
What do you think of it, basically? Not in a "Phwoar! Look at her t**s!" type way, but in a kind of "deeper" (probably not the right word) way.
So, porn, is it art? Some people believe so. If half a cow stuck in a tank of goo can be art, then I feel that photo's of beautiful women can be art as well.
They used to paint naked women all the time, anyone who's been to an art gallery will see pictures of nude women and men. Most "religous" pictures of people in heaven depict the humans as being nude. Is this porn?
If not, why are photos of nude people in magazines classed as porn where you have to be over 18 to see it, but paintings are not and can be seen by anyone who goes into an art gallery?
Are there any parents on here? If so, what are your opinions on your kids looking at porn? Would there be an age where it would be acceptable for them to view porn, but before this it's a no-no?
Would you rather they saw a porn film, which is basically two consenting adults enjoying a natural pleasure, than them watching a rambo film with deaths left right and centre?
Would there be a worry for you of your kids getting insensitive to porn? They see so much of it that they need more and more, or harder and harder to get the same arousal from it?
A bad analogy, but it's maybe like curry? You start off with the normal, and it's too hot. You can't eat much. However, you have it a few more times, and you accept it. Then afer a few more times it's not enough, you need to move up to something hotter. Would this be a worry for you?
I hope that people can take this thread seriously and not degenerate into pre-pubescent laughter "ha ha, he said "porn" ha ha" type stuff.
Cheers.

In all honesty, I don't give a monkeys whether porn can be classified as art or not, but that doesn't mean I don't have a view on it.
Personally I think that most porn is harmless. Given that those pictured wanted to be, and those that are looking want to do so.
When I worked in Canada, we got free porn channels on our TV's. We'd just sit around and talk, with the porn on in the background, because it was a laugh. It didn't make us want to touch each other or anything (well, it didn't make me want to touch any of the other blokes in the room) in just the same way that a rational person watching a violent movie won't go out and kill someone.
Porn is bad if you've been watching a porn video, and it's got stuck, and the local guy that fixes video's just happens to be the husband of a teacher at your school though, as happened to a friend of mine.

Porno is porno.
Doesn't interest me to be honest. Sure, when I first got the Net at home I looked at a few sites (everyone has,I don't care what you say), but after a couple of weeks, the fascination wore off.
Art or otherwise, people have an interest in sex.
That's about it for my opinion, do what you like how you like as long as it's between consensual adults.
Go wild.

The biggest problem is desensitisation. If you view too much you don't enjoy the real life encounters so much.

I'd agree with that. I even get my brothers girlfriend asking me to go on porn sites when she comes around. Dirty woman. But, nope. Tommy is a clean fella and you can check my history and will find the most pornographic site is probably monkey mans site, but then that is pretty dirty.
