My .02 pesos... My problem with porn (wait, that came out wrong), my concern with porn is that it is addictive. I know many people who've had their marriages ripped apart because of porn. To pretend that it is harmless and only provides entertainment is a false narrative.

I do believe that pron can have sever negative effects. However, when you say a marriage was ripped apart due to porn, I don't just accept that on face value. How did porn rip apart the relationship? Did the woman feel that it was akin to cheating? Was his porn use really impacting his life and his marriage to that degree or was her attitude towards porn the more destructive element?

Anyway, I highly doubt the perfect marriage was destroyed because someone looked at naked pictures. I'm guessing it's not that simple.

I have similar gripes about fast-food restaurants, which are far more immoral than much of the porn that is produced.

Porn and chicken nuggets. Might be a good combo.

Anybody that doesn't like porn or bacon is imo a liar. I wonder if there is any good bacon porn out there. "Peppercornhole" "BLTT" "Smoked Sausage" Ok maybe that last one doesn't count but it all sounds delish to me.

Porn AND bacon. Mmmmmm.

What about network TV, commercials and just about every corner of American culture that sells a prepackaged image citizens should fit into? The men and women in porn choose to participate. You realize this right? They aren't enslaved and forced to engage in intercourse on camera.

In fact some of us can't get a job doing that no matter how hard we try.











Dammit.

There are many things worse than porn - cheap clothes made in Bangladeshi sweat shop for pennies, iphones made by kids in chinese factories, oil companies ruining and poisoning native communities in S.America that fill up your gas tanks, and yet you raise the issue of porn being immoral. Porn is a form of entertainment, just like the violent video games are...Or you'd argue against them too?

An argument can be made that "sweat shops" are better for the people in those areas than the alternative, which is often no job at all, or a far worse one than a sweat shop run by Apple.

There is no victim when one objectifies another? What about voyeurism or peeping Toms? What about young women who are filmed without their consent? You make it sound like you can distinguish between good porn or bad porn. The truth is that porn simply objectifies.

Um...for the sake of science, yeah science, can you please provide some links. Purely for science.

He got sick of her spending so much time on the computer... Just kidding. She got sick of being compared to the women who appear in the videos and in magazines (let's be honest, they aren't real and the perception they create isn't real either). He couldn't/wouldn't control his appetite for his addiction. Couple that with the never ending desire to make it more and more kinky and that was pretty much it.

Makes me think of something making the rounds on Google+ recently, about a guy whose wife kicked him out because he commented on a picture of a famous model that he would leave his wife and kids for a night with the model. So his wife read it, after it was pointed out by some "friends" and immediately kicked the guy out. I showed it to my wife and then showed her the picture of the model and she said that if I had the chance for a night with that woman, she would kick me out if I didn't jump all over that. So, yeah, there is far more going on in situations like that than meets the eye.

Lots of things have negative side effects. One can eat too many donuts, play too many video games, etc. Is this really a problem with porn, or with the decision-making and self control of the individual who has allowed this to happen?

Both of those things do not exist, like leprechauns and eskimos.
