Sex domain gets official approval - .xxx

well I'm talking psychologically what might be healthy for some is the opposite for others and not all porn is degrading to say all pornography is degrading is like saying all sex is degrading
 
Heh. At least it's funny this time. The shrill ones are just tiresome.

Well, no one has any issue with you having such an opinion. The issue stems from your desire to make everyone else in the world abide by your opinion.

Pornography is not sex. It is at best a poor substitute for sex. Pornography is to sex what candy is to nutrition.

I took psychology 2 semester ago and I understand what you are saying. But there are other alternatives. I am not advocating making porn illegal, but it isn't necessarily a good thing that is beneficial to society. Honestly, I don't see any instance where pornography would be psychologically beneficial.

It's only degrading if the people involved think it is.

both males and females often require a form of release their are better ways to do it but if porn can do it than why not?
 
like to see proof of that, also if thats true the problem is those that are doing that NOT the industry, it is also illegal in the US for children to work in the industry so again thats a different argument. I agree women shouldn't be force and kids are not to be involved but again different topic.

also "exploitative" is totally subjective, people think beauty pageants exploit, cheerleading exploits etc doesn't mean its true, the ultimate judgment IMO is that of the person involved NOT an outsider.

''like to see proof of that''
Then read the reports. Dont wait until others on internet sites are willing to take the time to explain, prove... it. If you are interested, that is...



''...it is also illegal in the US for children to work in the industry...''

Do you actually think that everything available in on the internet is a product of the US...



''...also "exploitative" is totally subjective, people think beauty pageants exploit,..''

You really should already know that the human rights abuses widely happening in the sex industry are way too severe, to be compared with beauty pagents. Beauty pagents give reason for critisism, but this is not a reasonable comparison to make with the sex industry.



And, cheerleaders, being compared to those working in the sex industry! I suppose you also have not seen the reports about the post traumatic stress that female prostitutes experience. I think, you should take this topic more seriously.

Porn isn't the release, masturbation or sex resulting in orgasm is the release. Porn can just help facilitate that release.
(I'm not disagreeing with your premise, just clarifying it)
 
Who is to say what is healthy and not healthy?

Are you suggesting that there might be something healthy about working in the sex industry?

Apparently, looking at porn is good for men, because it promotes feel good brain chemistry in them, but women working in the sex industry pay the price for it. Overall, I personally decide that the sex industry is unhealthy for society, and should be heavily controlled, if it cant be stopped.

thank you I was wondering if somebody would take it the wrong way
 
exactly a person cannot say something is degrading if it empowers another

Being beaten by a pimp is degrading for women. Do you really think there are happy prostitutes out there, whom this does not happen to.

That isn't necessarily true. We don't need to achieve orgasm or have sex. Sex is a biological thing, but it isn't needed. It is a very strong urge, but it can be controlled. Again, I am not advocating for making porn illegal. However, I do think it is unhealthy for individuals and society and should have stricter controls.

Abused women are irrelevant to the industry itself. Abuse is the crime, focus on that alone. Wanting to ban pornography because some people commit crimes within the context of it is much like wanting to ban guns because some people commit crimes with them. It's just retarded.

Oh dear god. :roll:

sex is healthy for males and females now too much of anything is a bad thing which is where i can see your point but not all porn stars have it too much some do but not all

Yes. Just like working in any other industry, you get paid.


Being beaten by a pimp is degrading for women. Do you really think there are happy prostitutes out there, whom this does not happen to.

Yes, many thousands upon thousands of them. *raises hand*

"pimps" by and large are a thing of the past. The abused street walker with an abusive "pimp" is still out there, to be sure. They are the most visible. But they are also the minority.

Im not really has I don't believe that but more importantly nor does it matter because the fact still remains the people doing the exploiting and getting exploited are the problem not the industry



''...it is also illegal in the US for children to work in the industry...''

Do you actually think that everything available in on the internet is a product of the US...

nope nor did I imply such, only stating and showing that LAWS are in place to prevent such and where there aren't laws to do so THAT is the problem. Also anything illegal that comes to the US over internet I have no problem with the US regulating it

well you just said a whole lot of nothing, i wasn't comparing and i simply proved that exploitative is in fact totally subjective, would you like to comment on this or not

I take the topic serious what I wont do is overstep my bounds and let my decisions and morals be everybody's and forced on anyone. Im smart enough to know while ONE person may think porn is exploitative that doesn't make it fact. If something illegal is going on fine, stop it, that's the issue and the only one
 
Abused women are irrelevant to the industry itself. Oh dear god. :roll:

Well, would you consider working in the sex industry? You like sex, dont you? And, you could get payed for it. If you wouldnt do it for a living, then why not? If you would, I think you may be naive.

''Abused women are irrelevant to the industry itself.''
Like sugar is irrelevant to the candy itself.

I WAS a prostitute.

Apparenlty male porn stars are happy, and even proud of what they do for a living.

actually that is true candy doesn't need sugar

did you really just attempt to make this leap? Wow talk about appeal to emotion
again you are talking illegal but just to let you know YES some prostitutes work for themselves and no one here wants women getting beat against their will?:roll:
