Porn at 38,000 feet

Just because you *can* do something doesn't entitle you to do it.

You are't allowed to have sex in your seat, you aren't allowed to masturbate in your seat, the plane doesn't offer adult movies, and they don't offer porn magazines. Just because they allow access to the internet doesn't mean you get to abuse it any way you want.

You pay to be a passenger in their private space; just like a good house guest, you shouldn't be plopping yourself down to watch porn at a friend's living room computer just because you can. I for one don't want to see you have sex, and I don't want to see you thinking about sex. I paid for my seat, too, and I guarantee that the majority of paying passengers would be happy to vote you off the plane. What you do in the privacy of your own home on your own dime is your business, and more power to you; I'll protect your God-given right to watch strangers copulating while sitting around in your bathrobe with my dying breath. In the meantime, don't do it somewhere I have to watch.

Certain things should be private. What if there are kids around you. Comments will be made and word travels so if you don't think a person behind your seat not going to watch than you are out of touch. Treat it like smoking. need to wait till you are off the plane.

Pay me more then! have a surcharge for the adult seating!

I don't think it's the best idea for a plane, I personally couldn't watch porn with surrounding passengers looking at my screen

Odds are, if your looking at porn at 38,000 ft then you an adult. Capable of making rational descisions, and justifying them.

Sick of this censorship and nanny culture crap. If i want to see people fucking while in a hollow tube travelling at 400 mph, then i bloody will.

Let me enjoy myself while scared shitless at the possiblity of engine failure..... hehe

I think they should just use the all-call system from the flight deck. "We'd like to remind the passenger in seat 33E that American Airlines has a strict policy against watching porn while in flight. Please switch it off immediately."

Would you like to sit first class, economy, or adult seating?

Just like back in the 70's and early 80's for smoking. You'll will be asked porn section or non-porn section. Now we'll know it's gotten bad when we see people masturbating on the plain -"lil johnny dont look at that man!!(as she's frantically ringing for the flight attendant) And then not to mention the clean ups on the seat and aisles lol lol lol maybe the airlines should offer more full "service" options huh?!

you can watch it in libraries, why not air planes. only problem is keeping it so kids can't see it, that's my only concern.

some islamic/old lady/rabbi/preacher whatever can't take some porn, grow up and shut up is all i have to say to that

I can see it now: "would you like a window seat, an aisle seat... or a private booth?"

Yes but maybe porn is another way of sedating people on long haul flights.

There is a time and a place but it's not when you're surrounded by strangers.

Wow, it looks like a flight to Thailand could end up being even *more* gross, if that's possible. I'm all for (some kinds of) porn, but I don't want to watch/hear/smell someone getting it on with themselves in the seat next to me. And last time I went to Thailand the plane was full of single 40-something men discussing which little girls they'd paid for sex last time, and which they were looking forward to seeing again. Unbelieveable.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be stuck on a flight for hours next to somebody watching porn. Censor away! Or at least give them more private seating.

maybe they should put curtains in between the seats
and have tissue boxes in the armrest....

and a really good cleanup crew with lots of club soda

ye, soon the extra leg room will be i highly fought for piece of real estate!

Gives new meaning to the Mile-High Club, eh?

Viagra to get over the jet lag, now porn in the air i'm guessing there is going to be allot of baby making going on! poor cleaners!

Other passengers looking at porn may be a deterrent to their business and keeping customers. As a business, they can change their "product" to restrict access all they want; so I don't see any reason why they couldn't do so.

Who the fuck wants an incurable hard-on the whole flight?

If they put Computer and Internet Usage Rules on the airline ticket (which is a contract) and they enforce it by kicking passengers off the plane and refusing to sell them tickets ever again the problem is solved without censoring.

Airline-based Internet access are not "public" so the airlines can do anything they want.

I agree, the airlines want an excuse to censor the Internet. Maybe they can block each others websites too!

As long as they use headphones and keep everything inside thier trousers, what's the problem?

Besides, how many people would look at porn on a plane anyway?

It's just an excuse to censor the internet. (I'll bet competing airline websites are 'censored' too, for one.)

If you're going to allow internet access, you can't really decide to filter some content, as long as it's legal; people just need to be more discrete.

As long as you cant hear the grunting and squealing ,don't look, prudes {:>
