How is porn defined in the study?

Well, we used to have more laws and controls over distribution of this stuff. Now we’re completely open about it. Now the line is drawn at child pornography, which is still illegal and subject to criminal prosecution.

But will barriers in this area such as children porn be broken down? With people in our courts such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who favors an age of consent of 12, and groups such as NAMBLA who will one day file lawsuits for their “freedom” to do God-knows-what to kids, who knows what the future holds.

The pornography we really should be concerned about is the political pornography being thrust on us by the 0bama administration.

It isn’t the vehicle, its the person behind it... people’s lives can be ruined with drugs, alcohol, gambling, spending, and porn... people will seek these things out if they are of a mind to do so, and either use or abuse them.. it all comes down to strength and character of the individual, not the item they choose to abuse.

Someone needs to tell the cave dwellers who first drew paintings on cave walls. Subject: voluptuous naked women. Everything in moderation, as they say. Women once knew the ways to lure men away from the easy availability of lustful images. They once knew that expressing disgust or shaming them does not work very well. Now, with all the emphasis on me, me, me, it seems that women aren’t much interested in helping men avoid temptation. For so many of them it’s actually a relief not to be pestered. Men are driven to find outlets for sexuality. If you want change, give them healthy alternatives.

Query: Do many men stay married and faithful to their (disintersted, frigid) wives by masturbating to pornography of the fairly pedestrian PlayBoy magazine variety?

I am betting this kind of porn has saved at least as many marriages as it has harmed or ruined.

What I’m waiting for is this...

New Major Study Catalogues How Socialism Harms Marriages, Children, Communities and Individuals.

I’m not holding my breath, maybe I’ll go read some porn
in the shower, got one of those new waterproof porn books,
at least the pages don’t stick together.

I am not defending porn. How can you say porn harms when you cannot always define it?

Nobody can convince me that porn, especially since the advent of the internet isn’t downright evil. The evil may have been in man, or woman prior to, but many would have never acted upon it.

Now it is commonplace and pumped up as cool. It is destroying our culture.
