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.
Welcome to freedom of speech...

No, welcome to a thread about why I like porno.
Lighten up mate, not everything is a cause for soapbox/socialist worker diatribes.
And I'm not having a dig, I honestly do enjoy reading your posts.
Just sometimes you have to let a little humour in!
Even Lenin had a sense of humour, look at his beard.
Try repeating after me:
"I occasionally remove the pole from my butt and smile"
Relax Bell, I'm just dancing in the pasture threading flowers in their hair.
I could EASILY find some amateur girls to act in my films, very easily in fact. And saying I couldn't get action and a plot into 20 minutes? What are you? Stoned?
And no, Mystique, you can't be in them. I have a cut off point for skankiness
But. You break em, you buy em.
Just out of interest why don't girls think about a male genital

Its not very pretty is it?
Boobs are pretty
I like to look at boobs sometimes
males bits are ugly
I only wanna look at my boyfs

Unless he goes to an all boys school in which case everything I have said is pointless.
Nope, I go to a mixed sex school, I would hate to go to a same sex one. Just out of interest why don't girls think about a male genital (why cant I say the 'P' word? It's only a body part) once in a while? Is it just genetics and all that stuff?

Is that how they stopped you?

All the best girls will take decent channels to become porn stars, not some greasy route via an unknown director!

Think about that - do you really want to see your friends going at it? Worse still, telling them how you want them to do it, which is what you've got to do.

Ummm, they don't put them in because people don't watch porn for plot. And how you're going to get plot + action in a 20 minute shorty is beyond me. It'll be like real life sex:
unf unf unf ahh.
Hardly riveting!
Also most of what passes for the 'entertainment' industry is nothing but frustrated porno. Look at the latest Britney/Holly Valance video: not much discernible talent, plenty of bare flesh. I'm not complaining, just pointing out that the sensibilities of a porn director and a record exec are pretty similar.
