Porn?? Appreciate your thoughts.?

Question

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude, but the amount of people that are obsessed with it??? Thoughts?

In my line of work I read a survey saying over 60% of men in relationships felt they couldn't function sexually without porn, and just over 15% of woman said they were not satified sexually with their partners efforts, and porn was the only way they could be satisfied. Both of these surveys indicated these people were using it when they were alone, without their significant other.

For those minority who answered this question with "your boyfriends not satisfied' it has no relation to what I'm asking. Personally, I have seen what I have needed to see where porn is involved and it doesn't do anything for me. I actually find it to be a perverted act watching other people denegrate themselves so openly.
I don't feel I need to justify why I'm asking so please refrain from unecessary comments such as those. Appreciated.

Answer 1

What about it?

It's sex.

People having sex is fun to watch because it turns them on.

When they get turned on, they can have sex with someone they love.

Themselves.

Because not everyone gets sex all the time.

Some don't get it at all.

The internet was made for porn.

And porn was made for you and me.

Porn is all about the Money ! The Porn industry is now a billion dollar a year business. Obsessed people would just find something else to obsess about if porn didn't exist. I do think that some of it could be done with a little more taste though !


Some of us have to Clone Porn tapes for part of our Job !

Party on you Porn Lovers !

Answer 4

I think it should be banished. I think it is half the reason for the corruption in the world.
That and religion.
I hate that Men and women have to flaunt themselves to be noticed and earn money.
I also think that it is an indictment on children and there innocence.
People who are into porn really need some help. Alot of Sexual predators arise from Porn. It brings no good to anything or anyone.

I am really passionate about the end of porn.
But i know it wont happen as the industry pulls in toooo much money,
SAD really really SAD

Answer 5

ok, i think of that as long as you watch porn, you haven't any longer something to be complaining approximately. heavily, the main difficulty is which you the two do it, you the two carry this evil into your marriage. women tend to enhance uninterested in it swifter than adult males do, and you will quickly be uninterested in it your self and could want your husband to enhance uninterested in it too, yet he won't, he will proceed, and which will, in turn, disillusioned you and make you recognize, "WTF have i carried out permitting this evil in our marriage?" the subject isn't that he watches women that don't look such as you and despite, that is that this third occasion is being allowed on your place and inbetween your marriage. that is digital women / adult males coming between you and him. First you will desire to renounce observing it, earlier you could comfront him approximately this - in case you could no longer supply up observing it, overlook approximately this complete difficulty. in case you could provide up observing it, then you definately would desire to step up and tell him you like this to offer up - set an ultimatum and make effective that is not purely reassurance to maintain you quiet. there are extremely some secrets and techniques happening on your marriage - and intensely frankly i would not take this "belated honeymoon" till you could come to a determination those concerns as adults who love and appreciate one yet another. At this factor, i see no love and truthfully no appreciate for an extra! You the two stay like singles in a dorm room. Reevalute your priorities as a spouse. Being a spouse is going some distance and previous being a competent sexual companion. What do you desire to hold into this marriage? the place do you spot your self a million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days from now? How lots do you appreciate your husband and vice versa. Do you extremely and quite have self assurance that permitting this evil will strengthen the wellbeing of your marriage? heavily, do you suspect this evil will help your marriage thrive in the process the thick and the thin??

Porn is a perfect example of our degenerating culture. We have been condition our whole lives(my generation at least) to be told what to do, what to like,etc. Don't believe me? Well let me explain. There is one corporation in particular that owns many television channels for all ages(In Canada). We have YTV Jr. for the young lings, the they grow older onto YTV,and then to MTV Jr,and then to MTV. Which means that we are completely taken over... I was recently at a press conference with the president of this particular corporations and some was bold as to ask "Do you think that your corporation controls the minds of children" and he replied; "We don't control children, We own them..." Now with all this in mind it is true that they have a VERY strong hold on today's youth...Now to bring this to the point....It is said that their is enough sexual exploitation that one could say that MTV mentions a minor/major sexual theme every 3 or so seconds. So I suppose you COULD say that people are becoming to be obsessed with it because there is so much exploitation of it that it is becoming to be a normality in our society....

Answer 7

First, let's refer to it as erotica. Porn is just a pejorative term, and what I would call the "cheaply made stuff."

Erotica has been around for thousands of years. It began as painting, sculpture and poetry, and eventually evolved into literature, photography, acting, and video.

Erotica is simply an alternative form of sexual arousal; it is harmless fantasy and nothing more.

Regarding fantasy, Helen Fisher ("The First Sex," Ballantine Books, Feb. 2000) says that 71 percent of men and 72 percent of women fantasize while having sex with a partner. Men fantasize about conquest and domination, women about submission and surrender.

Dr. Joyce Brothers says, "It might relieve some of your guilt to know that many happily married individuals who have no thought or intention of ever betraying their spouse have sexual fantasies about someone other than their spouse."

Both men and women (single and in a relationship) have shown a desire to enjoy erotica in some form.

Women should take note that there is a very successful series of erotic anthologies called "Herotica." The stories are all written by female authors - not male!

The latest estimates are that Americans now spend somewhere around $10 billion a year on adult entertainment, which is as much as they spend attending professional sporting events, buying music or going out to the movies.

The erotic industry employs in excess of 12,000 people in California. And in California alone, it accounts for $36 million in taxes every year.

Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, pulled in $50 million from adult programming, and an adult spokesperson estimated that DirecTV pulls in a few
hundred million annually.

Hilton, Marriot, Hyatt, Sheraton and Holiday Inn all offer adult films on in-room pay-per-view television systems. And they are purchased by a whopping 50 percent of their guests, accounting for nearly 70 percent of their in-room profits. One hotel owner said, "We have to have it. Our guests demand it.”

There are well over 800 million rentals of adult videotapes and DVDs in video stores across the country, and that's not 800 guys renting a million tapes each.

As long as a partner is taking care of his/her obligations and responsibilities (job, family) and seeing that the other person is being fulfilled sexually, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with enjoying alternative forms of arousal.

Too often, a woman's reaction to their partner enjoying erotica is one of offense; their sexual identity is somehow threatened; believing that their partner's arousal and satisfaction should come exclusively from their vagina/mouth/hand. That is sad.

If a couple is satisfying one another sexually, their relationship is not at risk from a little fantasy...in any form.

Answer 8

It's a horrific problem in the good ol' USA. 2 out of 3 men struggle w/the addiction of pornography. It is a sickness, a deception & pure evil. The porno. industry involves children, underage women & men. It does not discriminate. It is unacceptable & disgusting. It ruins lives, marriages, relationships, families, need I go on? It is not a healthy viable sideline, it is an addiction & destroys many. I am not a prude either. My husband & I (17 yrs.) have a fabulous love life - w/out pornography. It's a major issue in many lives & is easily hidden. Do not be tempted & do not allow your significant other to indulge either. Be wise and don't violate your body & soul.

Answer 9

Maybe when you're younger (i'm in my mid 40's) you indulge in it more, but it seems the older I get the more it repulses me. The whole objectifying women thing and all. I'll look at the occassional magazine, but won't actively seek it out anymore. Love a good erotic movie, though. But Eroticism is a far cry from pornography.

Answer 10

Could take it or leave it. It's good for those quality times with your mate but just as a pass time I'm not into it. The obsession with it is just an indicator of repressed sexuality I believe. Porn's good but child porn needs to be eliminated.

Answer 11

well it's just sick. i was reading a little about this recently in the Catholic Herald newspaper. it said people (usually men) who look at porn or become obsessed with porn are seeking intimacy. isn't that weird? i never thought of it that way. i figure they do it because they're horn dogs. but it's a sin, because it's lust. and if a married man looks at porn, well he's just wrong because that means he is seeking intimacy outside the marriage. people who use porn and people in the porn industry, they all have serious issues. they use the porn then sabotage their relationships, ruining their chances of the intimacy they seek.
