Porn 2.0

So... you feel we need to consider how people are affected by the porn they are (quite willingly) exposed to? LMAO Doesn't take much imagination to answer that.

Of course it's all about money, the porn industry can't supply enough porn in all its variations to meet the demand in today's society. People know what they like, and by god, they like porn. And lots of it. All through history, from paintings on cave walls to the internet. Even panda's like porn.

Legislation of morality is oppression and a sign of the police state. Resist it at every turn.

Sexually based crimes such as rape, sexual assault, etc. have actually been steadily declining as pornography becomes more readily available. I know you have a very strong opinoin, but unless you can show me at least one study to support it it doesn't really matter how you feel.

Agree with what you say, except that:::

"Legislation of morality is oppression and a sign of the police state. Resist it at every turn."

Not all legislation of morality is "oppression". Murderer's are incarcerated by the justice system. That is legislation of morality I embrace.

to Tome Erau: do not confuse correlation with causation. I could accept part of your argument but the decline in sex crimes could not be so simply linked to increased access to pornography. Porn has always been around and has always been fairly easy to access. Why would this make the difference?

I agree with backpacker1 that correlation does not equal causation. Maybe you could show ME at least one study that supports YOUR strong opinion, tome_erau

And I also agree with yipyep that this industry could probably benefit from stronger legislation...

backpacker1: "Porn has always been around and has always been fairly easy to access."
That porn has always been fairly easy to access is very far from true, to the extent that I think you're either flat out lying or stupid.

Tardragonfly: "And I also agree with yipyep that this industry could probably benefit from stronger legislation..."
Yipyep didn't said that. What benefits do you think the porn industry would experience fro stronger legislation? What kind of stronger legislation?

I admit that access wasn't always as easy as getting online, but ever since the creation of Playboy, anyone of the proper age could buy it at a store. This is not even to mention the various forms of erotica present since at least the mid-nineteenth century. I still don't see how this proves that increased access to porn has led to a decrease in violent sex crimes, especially since no one has produced any figures to show that violent sex crimes are declining.

Let's also not forget that the internet has made the creation and dissemination of child pornography much more easy, so the internet, in itself, may have increased the market for child pornography. I guess my point is that access to pornography through advances in technology is not a simple way of decreasing violent sexual crimes.

porns not the problem - the people are the problem - as soon as sex isnt a tabboo no -prolems

Tardragonfly when I see people who post blog paragraphs such as yours, the first things that come to mind are, "Gee, so I guess watching people's heads get cut off, abusive scenes of violent rape, and other extreme gratuitous violence is just fine and healthy. By the way, I'm talking about free national broadcast USA television, not pay TV

What is so wrong with watching people have sex? It's one of the most basic desires of human nature. And unlike you've been taught, it isn't something to be ashamed of, or disparaged, etc.
