"Porno"

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.

Care about the characters????

What the hell kind of porno have you seen?
*shakes head*

We must watch different movies mate!

Oh, but I believe they are. You care more about who's getting it on if there's a plot. You get to know the characters, and you like the CHARACTER, not just the nice looking bird. My pornos will have minimal plots and cool slow motion effects. I will be the king of porn! Bwahahahah!

Sorry, don't know what came over me there...

At least you think that. Thats all that counts.

Made a lot more sense?
Plot is not necessary to these movies, trust me. I'll watch Vanilla Sky or Shawshank if I want a good story.

The only plot you need is:
"Hello, we are naked."
"Yes we are."
"Let's have it"
"Alright"

And I'm really, really not sure about your talk of slow-motion either!

I've seen a porno with a plot. Made a lot more sense than "two random birds get it on... oh, look, a guy comes in and they just happen to want to have sex with him too"

My pornos will be excellent, heh

I can hear what you are saying Goatboy, and I do agree with every point. However, I believe that exposing harcore pornographic material to a young age is wrong. That would be my only regulation on porn. Nothing else really, I think the age restriction is about justified. I have nothing against anyone using porn....

Meh, I am waffling, you see my point.

Room for one more?

Completely agree with Goatboy except I wouldnt want porno to go mainstream cos it would probly just get boring n schtuff.
Seriously though Mystique... £10 +VAT, deaal?
Ill never pass A- levels now, wont be able to get any work done/ ;-o

Soon, darling - soon!

I just need one more operation to remove the remaining part of the mop handle after that unfortunate incident last time.

Fantastic!
So whens our next broom cuboard fumble?
*Sigh*
I miss them
