"The Road to Perversion Is Paved With Pornography"
I think this is a must read!

Porn is good.
I don't believe pornography creates these problems any more than I believe that the Catholic priesthood requirement of celibacy creates pedophiles. The causality is backwards. Damaged and unstable men often look at pornography; pornography does not in and of itself create damaged and unstable men.
The culture and sex education also makes children more vulnerable to sexual predators. Take, for example, the Jame Rose Bolin out in Oklahoma.
I agree with statement #1 but it is none of my business if someone else chooses to look at adult porn.
As for statement # 2, that is way over the top. When you consider the size of the porn industry to the number of pedophiles, there is no causal connection. The pedophile would be trolling for little kids with or without adult porn.

And just because some hot young goat bats his eyes at you and seduces you, that don't mean your a goat-f*#ker. Blame internet goat porn.

Pornography is merely a symptom. The core problems are lack of identity and purpose, and in desperate fashion this yawning gulf inside the soul is filled with perversion.
Belief in God, not censorship, is the solution to the problem. But the modern American is too sophisticated for such a simplistic, backwards answer to his questions about the nature of the universe and his place within it.
Before or after they look for their reading glasses? :)
I was all set to agree and give my contibution to a discussion about porn, but this idiot went so far out into la-la land she cut off most of her readers.
This is true and very important.
Take this as a warning, guys: don't assume it's harmless and that you will control where you go or what happens. It's a baited hook and the wise move is to turn away from it.
I have said before, and I'll say it again: pornography takes something which God has given freely to us (i.e., sex) and twists and perverts it into something which is poisonous to the soul. Sex is intended to be the highest possible expression of love between a man and a woman, it is NOT a recreational or "extreme" sport, in which the only goal is the physical gratification of the senses.
Sex can be a wonderful servant, or it can be a terrible master, and those who "have" to get their porno fix on a regular basis already know how their minds can become enslaved, even when they are unable to admit it to themselves, let alone anyone else.
Somebody here posted last week that CFA isn't conservative but rather authoritarian. I believe I agree with that.
They really dont seem to get the difference between what is done by choice by adults versus what is done by force to women or is done to children too young to consent.
[The easy access to millions of pages of online porn is speeding up the dependence and escalation to harder-core material and more.]
This story is baloney.
There is NO PORN on the Internet.
I believe this story could be told over and over again, just change a few details. Children are SO VULNERABLE. Watch out particularly for the lonely child. That's why it is so tragic that the government, in the name of social services and even education and "character development," is corrupting the minds of children and damaging their moral sense with all this amoral, homosexual/bisexual/transexual/etc nonsense. And it is also why we cannot participate by simply demanding our own "free speech" time with the kids. They are being desensitized and corrupted with this non-stop sex stuff, not just with pornography. When kids get the right to vote and drink and be independent of their parents, then we can talk about free speech and free choices in moral matters. Until then, where are the adults whose job it is to supervise and protect the young? Why is the government the enemy of children in terms of their development of a moral sense and virtue?
Any male that believes that other males looking at adult porn is going to cause them to become pedophiles is probably a pedophile themselves. Classic projection.
Porn is a problem for men and women. Men get the kicks out of it, but women tend to get self righteous and judgmental about it.
If it's a problem it's a problem for all of us.
>And in spite of this, I'm sure that many libertarians will show up on this thread to explain how "harmless" their "hobby" is.<
Not only "libertarians", but scads of "librarians"!
