Ok, this is sort of on-topic here but not related to Rosalind's situation.
Porno.
It's a fact of life and has been around ever since we painted on cave-walls. I promise you that UG & OG got bored with drawing buffalo and scribbled a naughty pic of Mrs IG and UG & OG.
I don't understand the big deal with it myself. I was allowed to look at porno mags from the age of about 14, initially I thought "Cool!" but got bored of them after a while.
Why?
Illicit thrill - exactly what has upset Ros. It's not looking at naked people, it's the thought that you shouldn't be. It adds a dimension to it, spices it up if you like.
But why should that be an "illicit" thrill.
Can someone explain what exactly is wrong, in any context, about an adult watching/looking at pics of other consenting adults engaged in an ancient pastime?
It's not like I'm trying to watch execution videos, I'm indulging in a passive enjoyment of an act most of humanity pursues/thinks about with a fervour unmatched since Gold Rush Fever.
I like porno. I don't have to look at it every day, but if I want to then sure,I'll log on to a site and have a go.
*claps hands to face*
Oh my god, he's admitting to masturbation! Right, like I'm the only person on this planet to do that.
"But it's wrong/dirty" - why?
What is wrong with a little jolly when I feel like it? It's not like I have a tug on a bus or at the cinema.
It's a perfectly normal reaction - to be exposed to pornographic material is to stimulate a response.
That's the entire point of it.
You can keep your Channel 5 "Erotic Drama", if I want plot or acting then I'll go watch The Godfather.
There are times, and I'm sorry kids, when I just want to watch a couple of people making each other very, very happy.
Where's the guilt in that? Anyone?
But why is "hardcore" sex so frowned upon in today's society?
Why can I go to the Warnervillage Cineplex and watch a film about a serial killer that offs teenage girls, yet I cannot go to a similar place and watch a man and woman (or man & man/woman & woman if that's your thing) indulge in primal pleasure?
And if you follow that ancient argument about "Imitating what you see", I'd rather people went to porno movies and came out horny as hell instead of having just watched a movie where a guy has slaughtered 12 girls.
Especially with the recent horrors of murdered girls.
Why am I allowed to watch a fictional version of that for entertainment, yet I can't watch two adults murdering nobody/blowing no buildings up/kicking nobody in the head?
Porno is harmless. It promotes warm, sexy feelings. Explain why that is a bad thing?
I'm not going to delve into child-porn, just as a discussion about movies would not venture into snuff movies.
I'm talking about 2 (or more) adults, enjoying each other and everyone getting paid and going home for a nice meal.
But it envokes sniggers and gasps from people.
It's just sex.
I think if more people watched porno than Scream 20, we'd have a much more relaxed world.
With rubbish perms and moustaches, granted - but you cant have everything.

It's virtual Amsterdam
I know this story from a friend of a friends of a friend
They went to Amsterdam last year as big group... they went off on own for one day. So this guy walks into a brothel and sees this special offer for 30 euros or something... you do whatever you want to her and she does whatever she wants to you.
So he goes in and has his way with her... then she ties him to this table thing and then the door opens and this 7ft black man walks in naked... and yes man sex occurs
So be careful out there
Eurgh

It's like a glimpse into my personal idea of heaven.
"You have been a good human. Now you shall spend eternity getting mashed on Morrocan and making the hump with many beautiful woman"
*cries softly and raises his face to the sky*

Come into my brothel and I'll cut you a slice.
Yes please
Hash cake?
Piece of cake
Also the same countries that have legalised dope.

Good question.
If some guy wants to pay some woman for sex, whose business is it but those involved? Who are they harming (assuming the guy isn't married, of course)?
Funny how women are called prostitutes, but men are called 'escorts'.
I also disagree with Belldandy's point about legalising it because you can't control it. While it is true that you can't control it, prostitution has been around forever, and I don't see why it should need controlling, for the reasons already mentioned.
Legalising it means you can control it and make it safer, with regular checks for disease etc. Countries where it has been legalised show that it works quite well.
