Most divorces involve one partner compulsively using pornography.

So many lies, so little time.

$3000.00 per second? Man, am I in the wrong business.

I have a close friend who can be coarse - but he’s honest.

He admitted one day on the boat that if it weren’t for porn he would probably be a serial adulterer. He said it saves his marriage.

So.... I guess there is that angle, too.

My wife would not like it if I were looking at porn, but we watch the HBO show, Game of Thrones together and - honestly - in my wildest dreams I wouldn’t go to a porn site showing 90% of the porn sickness that that “show” airs.

So, that television show is giving porn a run for its money in my opinion and therein lies the bigger problem. Maybe.

Redhawk thinks watching porn won’t hurt children.

Please do your duty.

Pornography harms individuals, marriages and thus families, and most of all, children and young people. It's the truth.

I have seen prostitutes, and I have seen guys that solicit prostitutes...

You must watch a lot of C-SPAN.

I sympathize with the author’s concerns, but this article is embarrassingly simplistic. The author confuses pornography with obscenity, assumes correlation is the same as causation, and, I may be wrong about this, seems to pine for a situation in which a “minority” (his word) of which he is a member could enjoy certain constitutional protections to a degree greater than, presumably, a majority. I always thought this was a libtard strategy.
Unfortunately, the government has abandoned enforcement of laws against obscenity. Its sole focus now seems to be on child pornography (which like obscenity has no constitutional protection). Just in the nature of how things seem to go, I fear that if laws against obscenity are not enforced, pedophiles will become increasingly vocal in insisting that they have a “right” to view child pornography, essentially attacking the established legal standard that pornography involving minors is in itself obscene. You know, incrementally, which is now way too fast for me.

Please feel free to do so. I thought I’d come up with it, until I found it out amongst the Intarwebs.

Minds think alike I guess. :-)

Paying someone for sex is prostitution. Getting paid to let others film you having sex is just a job.

Can’t quite agree with that subtle distinction. Getting paid for sex is just that, semantics aside.

Yeah, but $3000.00 per SECOND! Do you think that Mike Rowe would call it a 'dirty job'?

Normal men are Babe-a-Centric(as opposed to homophobic) and look for sexual fulfillment from their spouses.

I work in the field. Work with many an attractive young married women who are warm and willing who have young husbands who would rather take matters in hand with a screen than turn to the wife. Emotionally easier they say...and it is. The care and loving of a wife takes time and effort. Both are devastated.
