I'm a male who doesn't watch porn, not because it "Objectifies" women, but because I find it disgusting and girls with implants and lots of makeup don't appeal to me. Would I watch it if I didn't find girls with millions of dollars of plastic surgery to be revolting? Maybe. Do I not respect women? Of course I do. I respect women more than men in a lot of ways. Most of the people I look up to ARE Women.

Based on what you have said, I'm glad to know that there are guys that respect women, even though they watch porn.

So some people like porn, some people don't, if someone doesn't like it they shouldn't watch it.

I don't watch porn and I hate women.

There.

[GK Punk]

Damn, you told us.

[Andrew NDB]

What does it mean if I watch porn with women?

[GK Punk]

It means you hate those women, and those women hate themselves.

That's some really philosophic stuff right there.

[turkishproverb]

Iron man, you are aware statistics show availability of porn doesn't coincide with an increase in sex crimes, aren't you?

Stop jumping to conclusions, dude. Ask anybody that really knows me - I hate porn. I'm just tired of people forcing their views onto others and pretending opinions are facts - not to mention the fact that your posts seem to be very inadequate in the research department.

I fail to see how that relates to the topic, but yes.

[turkishproverb]

Sorry. It didn't really relate too closely. I was just shocked to see it that version so soon.

We had a movie night in the apartment. me, my girlfriend and the other two roomies, a guy and a second girl.

we watched two of the 3 live-action la blue girl movie, does that mean we're bad people?
or does the movies even count as porn. Some of the American Pie ripp-offs are pretty close to be a bit over the top of softcore

I'm more an appreciator of smut, than a fan of porn, myself.

And even though I am a woman, I was once very disrespectful of women. The idea that women can't oppress women because they are women, is bunk, by the by.

Of course, that was before I was introduced to either smut or porn, so take that as you will.

What gets me about these crusading whackjobs, and they are crusading whackjobs, is that they hide their true intentions behind a banner of OMG! THE CHILDRENZ! They're not really looking out for children, what they're trying to do is control the behavior of other consenting adults.

I've no problem what so ever with groups of likeminded parents finding ways to filter the world for their own children. Or to request that people be considerate to that effect. That...thats kind of what parenting is all about. My problem is when they demand that everyone filter everything for the sake of their child by means of coercion.

I usually don't spend my time much on discussions like these, but I'm gonna spill my two cents anyway and hope I don't shoot myself in the foot by it.

I, personally, find porn to be nasty and so not for me. I have a boyfriend who watches porn and behaves like a nice guy with respect for both genders and who hasn't tried to force any "weird" stuff on me.
So there, I don't believe porn makes people bad. It's always been there and it helps some people.

Still, I have the theory that early exposure to porn is bad, one of the reasons being based on the same argument used in the article: mirror neurons.
I read an article about a year ago about young Danes attitude towards sex and how it had changed. Young teens actually thought that the raw sex they saw in porn was how it was supposed to be done in real life (believe it or not).

I also believe that society's (in my opinion) growing use of porn-based images and the out-of-proportions toys like Bratz and Barbie, just to name some, is forcing the new ideals of how to look and dress on teens and pre-teens. I know how it affected me as a girl when I was in that age, and I can't help but look at kids today and think "something isn't quite right here".

On a sidenote, my guess is that many parents are also responsible for some of the "damage". I honestly think some parents encourage their kids to be like.... well, sluts.

So there. I think there is something about what is written in that article. Porn is fine, but if it could just be contained somehow to not reach young people and if it could be kept out of the public space, I'd be much calmer.

Looking through this thread, I've noticed a lot of 'men don't respect women because of porn' opinions, mostly from Iron Man.

Okay, so do we leave a dominatrix out of the discussion?

I believe the common consensus among many members of this forum is that Iron Man:

*Has weird ideas about some topics.
*Shoves his opinions on other people.
*Is out of touch with reality on some topics.
*Often appears angry.
*Jumps to conclusions.
*Sometimes behaves irrational.
*Needs to think before he types on the forum.
*Needs to lighten up and not worry about what other people do.
*Needs to only worry about stuff that actually effects him.
*Needs to stop caring what people do in privacy.

Okay, I can work on those changes. At least, I think so. I can try.

Are there Jonah Hex figures, like, from the movie? Gotta check those out if so...

But really, dude, over all I think you should focus on



Ai-ya! Research!

Speaking of porn, one of the primary results when looking for this image was Uncle f***ing Jade. UGH. F*** you, internet!

Yeah, I bought Jonah Hex from the movie. They are NECA brand action figures. I found them at my local Toys R Us (also available online).

Research, for the win! Sometimes I guess you just have to do homework on some issues.

I don't know what to say to keep this thread on topic.
