TABOO TOPIC: Pornography/Erotica

Using actors - Ning that's child porn. That's not on.

What is wrong with fantasising about something if it 1) does not hurt anybody and 2) you have no intention of carrying out that fantasy?

.... I would have thought it would have been obvious that I was referring to adult actors playing a part.

Nina means actors who aren't children but are portraying children.

In an ideal world, it's okay. In the world we live in, it's a harm minimisation strategy to prevent mentally disturbed people from building on their sick fantasies.

Do you really think they're so rational? You really think a guy who fantasises about raping children is really mentally stable enough to be trusted?

Actors who are playing children but are portraying children? :/ :/ fine line...is that even possible? unless they used 18-year-olds...

^You ever seen Japanese women?

What's wrong with schoolgirl rape porn if it is not using real people? (And even if it were, but using actors?)

It normalises a destructive attitude within society that it's a sexual fantasy that is healthy to pursue.

What are your thoughts on anal porn?

Er, I feel like this is trying to trap me somehow?

It's called make-up, pigtails and post-production editing.

[thushan]

Fair enough.

bahahahhahahahahahaha xD funniest thing ive heard all day!

I personally think that pornography has its pros and cons. it often leads to certain youthful males having a hyperactive sexual longing, which typically leads to ill effects (such as rape, unsafe and unprotected sex due to increased sex drive). although having strong sexual desires is normal for young adult males, it is only further increased by pornographic materials, which may potentially result in outcomes that are detrimental to the civil fabrics of society.

now, as well as this, pornography is often used by the older demographic of couples to spice up their sex life, by assisting them in coming up with new ideas about how to engage intimately.

thus, its not fair to say that porn = wrong or tight, as the issue is not entirely objective, but based on individual interpretation and cultural values.

I'd go out on a limb and say that pornography's probably not 'tight'

Is the evidence that the viewing of pornography correlates to higher numbers of rape? If so, I'm surprised. I think that there's a danger of underestimating people's self-control in issues like these. It suggests that young men are driven towards one goal with no capacity for restraint, which is obviously untrue and rather insulting.
I don't think that there's anything wrong with watching the most hardcore stuff that's out there, as long as you don't let it warp your concept of right and wrong. Fantasies are fine, as long as they stay that way. I think that most people are strong enough to know what's suitable in which situation.

hahahah oh god... it was meant to read 'right'. of all the typos that could have happened...

im not suggesting that ALL males are like this. definitely not (i know from experience  ) but it CAN potentially act as either a protective or risk factor to the well being of the individual and society as a whole. numerous fetish rape+murder cases across the globe have been inspired by past sexual predators/figures/porn actors. i dont really want to put such disturbing videos and reports on AN, but i would highly recommend you try finding such cases yourself. there are many that are available online.

Reading on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_effects_of_pornography) it says that research has been inconclusive so far.

[curry_bro]

dont read wikipedia. it is very 'Layman'. try accessing psychological reports about the issue. maybe refer to certain online textbooks on socioanthropology. you should find some. *if you can be bothered to do this at 12 am*
