Pornography on the internet.?

Question

First off, what would you class all nudity as pornography?
Second, do you think that all nudity is unsuitable for persons under the age of 18 (america) or 16 (most other places)?
Thirdly, what is the point of 'warnings' like if under 18 don't enter - if over welcome... Do you think that these warnings have any effect?

Answer 1

First off, one has to be conditioned to believe that the human body and sexuality are a "dirty" thing for pornography to exist. Once the taboos are established, one must sneak and lie and compromise their beliefs to fulfill their natural curiosity about sexuality. This leads to a lot of bad psychology ranging from guilt to obsession.
It is in how we teach our children about the human body, sexuality and the sex drive that determines whether they see nudity as pornographic or not.
The education should be age appropriate. Certainly, a prepubescent child will have no interest in sexual activity other than to notice the differences between male and female.
The warnings on websites are only there for legalistic purposes. They have no effect on protecting children.

Answer 2

1) Have you ever viewed internet pornography? Yes/No? If not then skip Q1 and Q2 and proceed to #4 if you wish to answer it.- Yes 2) If so - at what age did you first view internet pornography?-10/11 3) Do you view it on a regular basis?-i did when i first discovered it 4) You do not need to answer this, but in all honesty, it will effect whether you gain Best Answer or not. What are your views on this -what's the big deal? they're just people doing what they wanna do with their bodies "Through recent studies, it is now known that at least 1 in every 3 children will have viewed internet pornography by the age of 10".

Answer 3

first: not all nudity is pornography. some forms of nudity are extremely thought provoking and representative. There are lots of sculptures and paintings of nudes and I doubt this is used as pornographic material by anyone anymore.

secondly: I think it is inappropriate for people that are underage because it glamorises sex into something which most of the time it is not. Also, it doesn't show use of condoms and there is enough of a problem in the UK with underage and teenage pregnancy already. kids are very impressionable!

thirdly: the warnings don't have any effect so some sort of password or log in system may be needed. but realistically, nobody would enter the site if they had to give information about themselves....

i like porn!

Answer 4

Nudity is just people with no clothes on. Pornography is gratuitous use of sexual acts for 'entertainment'.

How anyone can be prudish in censoring nudity when all anyone has to do to experience it is get undressed is a bizarre attitude to the human form. Myself and a few friends (male and female) when young, used to take ourselves off down to the fields and have secret streaks out in the fresh air - it was great!

Warnings on web-sites, ridiculous really, even age verification/credit-card access only won't stop the determined minor from viewing explicit content. The warnings are just so the site operators are being seen to be responsible.

Answer 5

Nudity is not pornography

Pornography has the intention to corrupt - particularly young minds,.

Children are used to nudity but should be protected from the extremes of pornography.

There's nothing special about the Internet
Nearly sixty years ago I often "escaped" from my parents to pat 3d to see the naked lady on the Golden mile at Blackpool!
Warnings are an incentive for youngsters to enter.

In the end everyone, including children, will find a route to see what their curiosity demands. We should educate them as we cannot protect them.

Answer 6

There is a very distinct difference between art and pornography, nudity is not offensive if done tastefully. Doesn't matter if your over or under 18, anyone over 12 should be able to tell the difference.

Answer 7

Did anyone see that 12 yr old girl that is going to be the youngest mother in UK, so she has had sex, knows how to do it and what his bit looks and feels like but she cant watch it because it is illegal. I know how wrong this is to be pregnant at this age but does it not seem odd to you that under 18's that have had are banned from looking at others doing it, plus the Internet is full of free sites as well.

Answer 8

Porn should not be on the internet or anywhere ! its a turn off for me and im no prude!
its for sad people made by sad people starring sad people . most porn fans are lazy no personalty ugly teens who can not get any action or are that shite in bed they need some tips. I do not class all nude pictures as porn the human body is a beautiful thing if you have gone into a porn site a warning is irrelevant.

Answer 9

Isnt it about time people accepted the fact men and womens bodies are different but they are bodies , nudity should be accepted its the minds of the people that are perverse, , it is no wonder that the kids grow up such bloody morons , its what they learn

Answer 10

The under 18 bit is the disclaiming so that if Mummy and Daddy come home and catch little Timmy looking at naked women and whacking his manhood against the monitor screen...then it's not the site's fault and they're not legally responsible. Timmy's the one telling lies!!! ok, we all know it's a futile token gesture, but it gets them off the hook.
