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.

On the one hand I think porn is great: the bare essentials of naked ambition in techincolor.
On the other hand I wonder why young women (in particular) feel the need to perform every sexual act under the sun for a few hundred quid knowing that what is filmed will be splattered all over the internet till kingdom come.
The lecherous voyeur in me likes it (obviously), however my more sensible side views the whole industry (especially the lower end) as just another example of how western decadence is chipping away at higher values.

Like you'd have the brains to make a bomb. You can't even figure out how to use capital letters when typing...
what ruins society is the most lawless,unregulated,scum-magnet thing in the world.i am ofcourse talking about.....
THE INTERNET
you can not have a completely lawless world which is effectively what the internet is.
it attracts the worst of humanity(yes im talking about you)
it is ridiculous that i can without too much difficulty i could find a site that could tell me how to make a bomb and thats far from the worst thing you can find.

I've watched too much porn today. Maybe I'll cut back to half an hour or so tomorrow to balance it out...

I think you've watched too much porn yourself.
Notice how almost all porn involves two people (guy and girl or girl and girl) going at it, with someone watching from afar and "pleasuring" themselves? Then that person is seen or simply walks up and, low and behold, joins in.
Amazing.
