It's true. Men have some silly, lamentable idea in their minds that they're better than women, and a few of those more idiotic ones show how they feel. If a person is caught raping once, that person might have a problem. Maybe, just maybe, some therapy can help a few of them. If they're caught again, after therapy, then they should be castrated.
Really, porn is like video games. Some people might try to blame problems on it, but if the person does something that is related to it (such as raping "because" of porn and violence "because" of video games), it's only because that person had some serious problems to begin with.
I play games and I never seriously feel like killing someone. I've watched my fair share of porn, and I've never felt like raping anyone.

Are you completely clueless? Men ARE better than women. We could make it in this world without them, they couldn't make it without us. There really aren't any irreplaceable women in the world either. Also don't forget we lost a rib for women to be here.
Ok, I think I'm going to have to relabel this topic.
Also, would the people involved please at least tolerate each other's opinions? Right now there's a lot of mild flaming going on which isn't going to make matters any better.
EDIT: And you just overstepped the line with that last post, wesmic.

Women are in fact better than men. The Y chromosome isn't as stable as the X chromosome, hence why most women tend to live long than most men. Women are able to do almost every single thing a man can do and probably more. Notice how women are actually increasing very rapidly in their enrollment in the labor force. Men aren't able to make it in this world without women because men alone are not able to carry out life. Neither can women. Of course, that is very general.
As far as the pornography goes, I think pornography is pretty desperate. If you find yourself looking at pornography each day, it means you need to find a partner. Porn doesn't prevent rape, it probably entices it because a person is wanting to experience sex more and more. Yes, rape is empowerment as well, but it's not purely empowerment, there is sexual tension behind it as well. Porn only releases sexual tension for a short amount of time. I believe the more porn you watch, the more of a chance you'll commit a sexual offense. Will a person watching porn daily commit a sexual crime for sure? Probably not, but it probably could add just enough influence for somebody to do so.
In short, I don't believe pornography should be legal.
So it's better to spread STDs/AIDS/HIV by having sex instead of masturbating to porn? (Don't say 'Use a condom' because you know that either A) You don't or B) If you do, you wind up with something anyway. How else would they still be spreading?)

Rape isn't about pleasure LOL. It's about empowerment. A rapist doesn't do it for pleasure, he does it so that he feels in control.
And yeah, porno is bad. Can you say 'virus'?

Says you. I'd do it for pleasure.
Keep the porn!

Women aren't better than men. Men aren't better than women.
If you look at porn everyday it doesn't mean you're desperate. I know plenty of people who could get it when they want and they view porn a lot. I highly dought people go out raping people because of porn. Those people just have something wrong in their head to begin with. I have never gone to a site where it intices you to go commit a sexual crime. I don't wan't to go out and commit a sexual crime either. Saying watching porn increases the chance you will commit a sexual crime is like saying that well here is an example : George watches spongebob once a day. He hasnt raped anyone. So, watching spongebob reduces the chance of you raping someone. Heres another example : Joe eats jello every week. He has raped a few people xD So eating jell-o once a week increases your chance of raping someone. xD
(ok if you didn't understand those lame examples dont reply. lol)
Anyways, why shouldn't it be legal? People have the right to photograph themselves in sexual activity. People of age have the right to view it. If you take porn away it is violating the first amendment right.
In a nutshell, porn should be legal for all people of age to view.
Somebody missed the last sentence in my first paragraph. And if you didn't, it means that it may not apply to all people.

Rape has been regarded as "a crime of violence and control" since the 1970s. According to psychological analysis literature, "control" is a key feature in most definitions of privacy.
RapeCauses of Rapeo:, they show both sides of it. It basically is dependant on the person, whether they have a strive for competition to keep up with their peers (ex: Guy1: I've screwed 13 women in the past 4 months, Guy2: (Oh no, I gotta keep up. *Goes to rape because he can't get women*)) or if he's just unstable and needs a sense of control provided by invading a woman's privacy.
Sorry, but this is the Internet Pornography topic. Please stay on topic, there's even a Rape/Sexual Assault thread in Serious Discussion.
Yes, Wesmic, we all want to hear you tell us, as explicitly as you can manage, what porn your friends lend you and you watch.
My friends have never lent me porn. Some of the stuff is pretty funny to watch together though, for a good laugh (like porn about people getting high and then trying to go at it). Also, there was one kid who paid me $25 to burn him a copy of a certain video starring Paris Hilton. But hey, it's his problem, not mine. Now personally I think she's ugly, but I'm $25 richer now, so I'm not complaining.
I find it rather difficult to watch pornography with my male friends. I prefer watching it alone with a box of tissue paper and lotion.
Watching porn is like watching the news. Watching good porn is a serious business, like watching CNN, MSNBC, etc. You only watch bad porn for a laugh, like Fox.
Well there's nothing wrong with NORMAL pornography. Ya know, girl+guy, guy+guy, girl+girl. That's okay... nothing wrong happens. People are paid money for doing the deeds and it's upon consent thus it does not violate any rights.
The problem occurs with the acts that involve unconsented or immoral acts. I need not announce any of these acts, for it should be blatantly obvious what falls under this category. Many rights are violated here and many moral issues.
In short, normal porn = good. Wierd porn = .... bad...
I can't say how many times I watch porn, that's for me to know, and you to not find out.

Then explain why you think it should be illegal.
A good part of us try to shelter ourselves from the immorality that is your foundation. -_-
Black people can't jump high because they have a lot of sex. That is one of the silliest ideas I've ever heard. I mean, it's partly because of genetics. A lot of runners are black people, but a lot of swimmers are white people. Alos, a good bit of them can jump fairly high, relatively to other races, because on a whole, they're a lot healthier than white people. I'm sure the obesity rates for the wealthy are much higher than for the poor. Sadly, the poor are kept poor by the wealthy, and they don't have the luxury of being fat. Then again, if the druggies stopped getting their subsistence from marijuana, crack, etc... oh well that's a different topic right there.
Vampire, you're a very angry person inside. I don't feel like a god after that. I feel like a god after two hours of rigorous exercise, that's when I feel like a god. After that, I just feel really, deplorably, insatiably good.

Actually whenever you ejaculate your testosteron level rises and the more testosteron you have the more self confidence you have and you feel better and all that crap, you feel like a god, you think you can own anybody you want. Thats why black people can jump so high, because they have a lot of sex, yesterday when my uncle was waiting for me in Illinois on highway 80 exit 16 during a 2 hour period 5 pimp vans came over and offered him prostitutes for money. They were all black. By the way when I look at some of your replies to this topic I relize what a real n00b is, some of you post in this topic although you have no idea what you're talking about, after I read replies from 14 year olds i don't know if i should laugh or cry, so please STFU!
[right][snapback]517194[/snapback][/right]
LOL!
I don't think you can talk about "14 year olds posting who don't know what they are talking about". All of that stuff you just said is completely made up and not even close to the truth. And its borderline racism, in my opinion.
Way to bring the conversation way off from what it's supposed to be...

Although this may be true, you have to admit, there is a universal norm. At least... in the US there is. I have to admit, other cultures are different... let's just speak for the US to simplify the conversation, since most of us here are in the US afterall...
I suppose all of this is dictated by that evil force known as society.
Universal norm has nothing to do with it. There's still people out there that like beastiality and other forms of pornography that a lot of people find disturbing.

I watch porn/masturbate because I'm a horny teenager. I need a vent for my sexual tensions. No, I'm not going to rape someone if I don't get my 'fix' of porn. I'm trying to cut back, just so I can say I am, but that's irrelevant.
And I think all of us can agree that interspecial sex is weird. Period. Plus, it can introduce new kinds of diseases, like it happened with AIDS and siphilis. Also, anything illegal should be illegal in porn too, such as rape or pedophelia.
I watch porn/masturbate because I don't have a hobby.
God, this isn't an AA meeting for porn, guys. We don't need to hear your confessions.
Bring it down a notch guys, this thread is to discuss the issues of porn, not wether you like X or Y and jack off to it.

I can't say I've ever gotten a virus from porn.
