Is Porn Dangerous?

"Porn" is a pretty broad term. It seems like the real issue here was anal sex. And as far as that goes, generally gay men are far more promiscuous and reckless than most porn stars. As for health issues, in the gay community many men catch HIV and act as if they were relieved to get it over with. Is that woman so clueless about what goes on in a gay bath house? Gay men are fucking and fisting each other's brains out, and are as addicted to that life style as they are to meth. So I really don't see why porn should take all the blame. Maybe gay men's porn, if anything, and even that's a stretch. How often do you see fisting and anal sex in all the other sub-categories of "porn"?

If anything rectal prolapses or "Butt Donuts" appear to be a career enhancer for some of these actresses that carry this like a special talent and probably are compensated more it. This is about personal choice. Nobody is forcing them to perform A2M or any other extreme act. The fact that they do is simply an economic advantage over the next perfomer. There was a time that most porn actresses woudn't do oral, anal, or GG. If she didn't capitulate eventually, she found herself on unemployment. There were plenty of other talent that would. Simple economics and the producers used that leverage. From what I gather, the author is focusing on the side of porn that you don't hear about . I thought AIM tested all participating perfomers for STD's including gonorrhea, so I question that bit about the eyes. Wouldn't an antiseptic mouthwash be a good idea after each scene. Not perfect, but sure would decrease the odds of contracting some fecal colliform dramatically.

I think the larger issue is sexual attitude creep. When I was a teen, no girl would do a blow job I ever knew. Anal, you have to be kidding even when I was in college. With the advent of video and the net, what was once considered taboo and a maximum perversion only done by a few performers is now the commonplace. Reality now imitates art. Will the next generation of kids think that fisting and urinating on their partner be normal lovemaking? Right now, I'm not sure any boy that's growing up now even knows what a vagina is used for if str8 video is his major source of sex education.

What we should be asking is our politicians in office dangerous?

I don't know... the whole sexual attitude creep I believe only goes so far. If you are the type of person who gets off on how 'dirty' something is, and wants to keep on cranking things up, then of course, it's going to go further and further. But, that's talking about addiction. And, just because alcohol is prevalent, does not mean all people are going to drink themselves to death. Most people like a few drinks when they go out, and that's it. Sure, there will be people who die from alcoholism, but that's their choice and we should not ban it from the 99.9999% of people who don't because of them.

Also, no one should even start touching regulation, since you know that the bible-thumpers who want to ban it in the day and get drilled at night will latch on whatever possible to keep up that Jekyll-and-Hyde "it's so evil" "... that I can't resist it" situation which makes porn black market. The fact is that porn will never go away. It's as impulsive as it was to 'take a peek' back in tribal times when there was no modern technology. Some of the oldest artifacts are sexual in nature. So, that's that.

I think the question only came up since such extremes were not possible to be attained back in the day, but that does not mean it's for the majority of people. The same thing goes with alcohol. At one time it was hard and expensive to make, which would mean there were no alcoholics. Now it's not. Because something is a low-cost commodity, there are inherent extremes possible that once weren't. That does not mean everyone wants the majority.

Vagina ? ... That's where the vibrator goes while you fuck their ass right?

Interesting topic..

Personally, I see it that what needs the purification, is the sexospiritual state of mankind.

All the bible belts, etc. created by religion simply allow for the flourishing of highly perverted flow of vibes in man.. The natural urges of the human being are not to be tamed (they were meant to be enjoyed, in order for the man to understand to reproduce - just as is with eating, it is meant to feel good, so that you will undetstand to eat and keep your body in shape), and this is why the self denial of priests etc. has lead into forcibly putting dicks into the choirboys asses.. (they have a natural urge for lovemaking with women, which they deny, and for which they mentally punish themselves - and they are looking for the sexually pure child from within them, and are then finding that from the outside - on the rows of choirboys) And that is just what following 10 commandments, due to a fearing of spiritual punishment will only lead into.

Porn & escorting (as I see it) is only an extreme outcome of this self denial, induced by religion (or any unjust, untruthful moral law) - and there will always be need for porn etc. outlets for the natural sexual energies, as long as there is the sexual repression induced by the spiritual leaders..

..so the spiritual revolution needs to come first (..abolishment of the concepts of sin, or others that are shared without truth basis..), then we will see the positive change (..due to the spiritual revolutions direct effecting to the overall sate of mind of humankind..).

Incase someone feels like we would need an improvement from the current state of affairs..

But porn is not -from my personal point of view- to be seen as a problem, nor as dangerous.

Unfortunately they also dont take into account choice, I highly doubt there is a lot of main stream porn that is FORCING these girls to do what they are doing. They show them the list of prices and sadly a lot of them pick the nastiest raunchiest stuff because it pays the best....but!.....they did PICK and CHOOSE, trying to regulate it is like trying to tell someone what they can and cannot do with their body, which is fuckin ridiculous, good luck good speed and fuck off if you think you can put porn under the thumb of the government

This is more for fans of Noam Chomsky. He's incorporating anarcho syndicalism or libertarian socialism into his views. He thinks "renting" yourself to the marketplace is degrading. And doing things under "external command" is denigrating.
People, all people, should control their own labo(u)r and not be subjected to coercion. He has also quoted Adam Smith who said: under conditions of perfect liberty you get perfect equality. So, well, we're far removed from a free society.
And Abraham Lincoln equated wage-slavery with slavery and on and on --
Again, you have to be a fan of Chomsky. And fair enough if you completely disagree with him. As people do have different views about the way the world should be --
