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.

Dirty, yes - man, definitely - but I'm not that old!

Aw, come on now. Proper porn should have a paper-thin plot that takes up about a minute or two between scenes. The more ludicrous the better. And unintentionally howlingly funny one-liners ham-acted by blokes and girls with totally unrealistic bodies.
Then the close-ups. Gives you a chance to have a swig of your beverage, and get yer breath back.

Yep, fair cop, I don't tend to have any humour in my posts, which is strange because I'm quite humourous in real life, hard as that may seem for some of you :)
Some topics just don't seem to merit humour, but I did post something about Christina Aguilera's new album in movies last weel, people found that funny ;)
I'll try be less serious in the future - though I'll still continue to out post anyone who brings up America.....I cna't change that much !

No, he's saying porno shouldn't have action and plot.
"Hello, I'm naked and turned on"
"I am too"
"Let's make like goats"
"Ok"
For an hour.
The end.
Plot? Action? Off to Channel 5 and Shannon Tweed with you,young rascal.
I want close-ups, I want...well...I dont want to get banned so I'll leave it there.
Plot + Porn = Shoddy erotic-drama about a security guard protecting a frisky ballon-boobed woman.
This is not porno, this is bouncy-chest, shot from the waist-up "Oooh Aaah" rubbish.
