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.

"you may have difficulty casting for that. and a 90 minute presentation of you batting the sausage is hardly going to make great viewing..."
Um, no, why would I have difficulty? I advertise, or get people I know, I film it, cut out the poop stuff, have 15/20 minutes worth of film, and I'm done. It'd have a plot, and cool slow motion effects, as well as great panning etc. Basically, the stuff most porn directors don't do because they're not very good at real directing
No porno needs to be over 15/20 minutes, and certainly not 90 minutes!

Ah, but thats not what I mean to say, I always put why I think someone is wrong, I don't expect anyone to agree with a lot of stuff I say because on most topics in the life forum I'm in a minority. Of course everyone gets their opinion, thats the whole point of a forum !
If we all just start saying "yeah, fair enough we're both right" then the whole forums become rather boring, don't they ? By nature, people don't always agree and both sides in any topic will have their own views which they feel to be right.
When I diagree with people on here I'm not saying they're wrong, just that I don't think they're right !
If I see something and I want to say something about it then I will, and as long as I don't resort to swearing and name calling e.t.c then there's no rule on the forums that say I can't. If people don't like that then that's great.

You could be wrong there. Girls of that age don't think about porn at all. I didn't look at any till I went to Uni. It's more likely to be 90% of boys. Then again the internet wasn't really around much when I was at school so it wasn't so easy to access porn. I still think you should probably have said 90% of the boys in your class. Unless he goes to an all boys school in which case everything I have said is pointless

Yes, because that's the sort of age where it's "Hur hur hur".
And I wouldn't be totally shocked if, by accident, you should come across certain sites.
As do 90% of your classmates - but they'll never admit it.
If people were a lot more comfortable about sex and all the various accompaniements, then life would be more relaxed and happy.

I don't think anything is wrong with porno and I like watching it, but I'm 14 so does my hormone riddled opinion matter?
