Hmm.

I always hear over radios and other forums regarding about pornography im not talking about gay but the normal girl & man.

Have you ever watched it? would you agree that banning it in countries or barring it from the net would give children something else to do on the internet apart from watching p0rn. Because it stimulates the mind to wanting to watch more and more (i think this is true)

I just wanted to know what your views and public opinions are on pornography?.

Banning things doesn't make them go away, it makes them go underground. Poronography is absolutely fine. if consenting adults are involved in its making as well as if an adult wants to view porn, it doesn't matter.

[CodeCat]

Agreed. Interfering with people's personal lives when no harm is done will cause more harm than it aims to supposedly solve. The government doesn't belong in people's bedrooms.

I have to agree with you on this .

As for children viewing porn, maybe their parents should watch what they are doing on the internet, especially if they are younger than say 13. And even be a little cautious when they are over 13, just not as much.

I realize that porn is illegal for under 18 viewers, but I'm always amazed by how big a deal adults make about it. I'm a freshman in college so I just went through middle school and high school, and let me tell you, the shit that goes on between teenagers is going to fuck kids up A LOT more than porn will. If my parents spent a single day in my high school, they would have locked me in the basement and thrown away the key. I think that most adults are way out of touch with the reality of today's culture/society. Instead of trying to figure out ways to block kids from porn, which kids will always manage to get around anyway, people should focus on what's happening in the real world. I mean, jesus, who cares about internet porn, when kids just go to parties every weekend, get completely drunk, and try their hardest to reenact that porn. And then they drive home. IMO, the real problem is not kids watching strangers get it on over the internet, but rather the fact that high school has more alcoholics than a rehab clinic, and those people are not just jacking off in their rooms, they're actually having sex. If I was a parent, I would rather risk my kid getting carpel tunnel syndrome from masturbating too much rather than risk my kid getting a STD, pregnant, or both.

Narboza makes a good point. But also poor parenting leads to it. People are too busy now to parent, they go to work, focus more on their careers than families generally. Its wrong imo but its the way society has evolved. Its what happens when you get a society based on debt.

ok im 15 i gotta admit i watch it time to time. thanks for your opinions

[Kwen]

Though I agree woth all the above points I do have to see some light at the end of elvenfury's tunnel. And that is that quite often kida are exposed to porn at a young age, whether its through a long string of click here! pop ups, or looking for it on their own. Nine times out of ten they see this before they hit high school or even middle school. This knowledge of what happens along with the numerous accounts of peer pressure gets kids doing it at a young age. However if kids werent to be exposed by this stuff at a young age they may stand more of a chance then other kids.

I am a sophmore in high school, only age 15 and so I know all about the heavy stress of high school. I know, how much pressure there is to do it. I support both sides.

Agreed however. blocking it, will never stop it. There are always many ways around.

LOL teenagers with sexual appetite? Never heard that before

Of course teens try to sleep with each other, nothing has changed. I speak to a guy i work with whos sixty, he told me the first time he had sex was when he was 15. Its not necessarily a bad thing, as long as people are educated about sexuality and protection.

I do blame poor parenting on behalf of how our generation is developing however.

[lycan]

thanks for the comments however i would be grade 9 in america but year 10 in england. yea we all want sex before we leave state school lol. even i do but nah im not some porno addict who craves to have watch it every second.

[Kwen]

Aright then, we do not need to hear about your sex life man.

Me personally I agree with the fact that sex is perfectly natural and at the teenaged yesrs the body and depths of the mind dont care what people say. so long as it is not irrational and safe. then its alright.

So long as teens dont mistreat it. Then its good.

[lycan]

yeah but some mums and dads dont care they will give there children and childs friends alcohol at the party and expect them not to get carried away and get laid.

[Kwen]

And for that the parents are in every way responsible for the teens newly acclaimed STD or child.

[Gosho]

Porn is so desired, because it's forbidden. Show a sexual act in public school, in the classroom, and the mistery, the banning etc. lose it's power. Then you'd watch porn only priot to having sex.

Also, I started rather early with porn, due to...an accident. Now, it doesn't even work on me like it did before - it's nothing compared to the real thing. Besides, we get our sexual appetites up since we enter puberty, which means we crave sex. It's really funny how governments try to block sex as immoral most of the time and at the same time, tutor kids about it in biology classes.

(slightly off-topic - don't diss drinking while being a teenager. It's fucking awesome.)

[Kwen]

Also why sexual appeal is limited in a public place is because its well just that... public. the last thing one wants to do is get that feeling in school. so in private. its more appealing to one.

Now, it doesn't even work on me like it did before - it's nothing compared to the real thing.

And I wouldn't know anything about that. never experienced it.

Why is being naked a crime really? Aren't you simply in you're natural form? Since when is the natural human form against the law?

Why can a woman perform sex for money in front of a camera, and it's called art or porn, and is legal. Yet if this same woman performed sex for money with no camera, is called prostitution, which is illegal? It's her body right? Same reason abortion is legal.

Seems to me, that if the camera is rolling, than it's not prostituion?

Hyprocritical IMO. ~Hostile

[Blodo]

Porn is such an issue because everyone is making it out to be one. It's still a scandal for some reason despite that it's just like prostitution except it's simply recorded on camera.

The thing with teenagers at school is not really peer pressure and all that stuff, it's the fact that the matter still lies within the social taboo in many developed countries. Kids should recieve proper education on this subject rather than the sort of silence they get nowadays, otherwise they'll just find all the stuff out on their own and not necessarily in a proper and articulated sense if you know what I mean.

oooo, that's a good one. I've never bothered to even think about that before. I think I'm going to have to explore just what makes the difference between pornography and prostitution.

[lycan]

ditto. is there any countries that have banned porn from there country?
