"Porn - does it ruin society?"

Isn't it strange how the world becomes more tolerant each day and we learn more about society and psychology and yet one news story can set us back a decade?

Porn - the one time scourge of nations and inspiration for 'Gentleman's Clubs' in Victorian Britain - has become less of a sensitive issue of late, making way for other forms which have become popular with the criminal and less desirable members of the public. But we still hide away porn mags in paper bags, videos (even softcore or sex manual ones) are disguised and frowns prevail at page 3 images.

So is it right to make soft porn a part of normal life? Does it harm people if the images are made by and of willing participants in an industry which has become more accepted and even embraced of late? Or does the acceptance of soft porn lead to other, less accepted forms or even for the viewer's mind to be damaged as some may argue?

There are obvious reasons why some forms, such as child pornography, are unacceptable in society and are rightly enforced with such vigour. But where is the line drawn on the adult porn industry and who is able to say what goes (and, maybe, where?!).

Certainly the sex debate has already raged across the TV screens, where once the sign of certain male or female anatomy was considered the ultimate taboo, now this is pushed further by the subject matter or the type of act being performed, but surely this should not relate to video, which is more controlled (if only slightly) as to the audience.

My personal view on these matters is that porn itself can enhance your own understanding of sex, but that this should also be measured with understanding of relationships in general and any 'sane' person would already have this if they had grown up with at least one responsible adult teaching them about life. It will always be frowned upon by some and will never be fully accepted as a mainstream entertainment simply because it is 'adult' and not suitable for children.

I respect porn as one of the most honest forms of movie-making. You get what you see, basically. None of the mild titilation of a lame video on MTV - porn gives you hardcore nudity and sex scenes without having to pretend any other way. It's the same as watching a sports video, or a comedy - you do so for a reason. In this case it happens to be getting aroused - everyone gets aroused, don't they?

Whereas Jennier Lopez or Britney Spears will degrade themselves by trying to carve out singing careers, when all the audience are interested in is their bodies, porn stars fully appreciate this and (literally) have nothing to hide.

I think I've explained that clearly.

You forgot the moustache.

Porn sex education, lesson no.1:

"To have sex, first find someone with:
a broken fridge
a large swimming pool
an over-ambitious need to be a secretary"

I think you need porn. If all you had was school sex education to go off, you wouldn't have a god damn clue.

An interesting way of looking at it. Does it influence women in the same way, I wonder?

I think porn has ruined my expectations of secks. Now, whenever I am with a lady I feel an obligation to gizz 'everyhere' instead of doing it properly. Also no women I meet ever live up to my porn star expectations.

I'll be ready

See you Friday then

What ever tickles your...

Ok, bring it.
