I was recently watching a news show on t.v. There was a week long segment on how porn bad for the country. Now I understand people not liking porn. Maybe you feel that sex should be private, maybe it just doesn't get you off. But for whatever reason some don't like it, I don't think it's because it is destroying the country. I mean, how does it really destroy the country? Not all people who watch porn are disgusting, perverted, over-all evil people. Is anyone really dying because of porn? Does it really show that our country has no values? Compared to other countries I don't really think that we are any less virtuous. Why do people make such a big deal about porn? Is it really hurting anyone? Does porn really destroy families or do people just use it as an excuse? Does it really make men become bigotted womanizers or are some of them already that way before they watch porn?

I'm not gonna lie, Porn is great. There's nothing better than coming home from a day of work, your girlfriends not home and you want to get your jollies off. The truth is, everyone does it at sometime in our lives. Its ignorant to think that noone ahs ever looked, been intrigued, or even talked about porn in a positive way. Now there is a fine line, though, between casual porn watching, and everyday porn-watching. And THEN the question becomes: is it acceptable. The answer? noone knows. Every case is subjective. Some just may be lonely. Others may just be... well... young. There are few cases where most people who always watch porn are, in fact, porn addicts. I agree with you. The problem isn't porn watching, the problem is when it interferes in public affairs (which never does--or should) then it becomes an issue.
It's destroying the better pastimes.
Better pasttimes like what? I don't see porn "destroying" anything.

The problem isn't with the porn itself. Other than perhaps a skewed sense of reality where sexuality lies. However, once you realize that your partner probably won't bring home 5 of her closest friends for your next birthday, they won't all be size 0-4 with awesome boob jobs.
But yes, my ex-husband had a bit of an obsession with it. Money, time, energy, were wasted on his hobby. He would spend hours on the computer when he could be with his family, he had unreal expectations of me and quite honestly had at one point in time crossed the line into wanting me to engage in bestiality. But again, is the problem with the porn, or the viewer. people with addictive personalities, will find their addiction of chioce. His was sex, which led to gluttony and alcoholism after our separation.
But the porn didn't do that to him, he did it to himself. I love watching porn, when my boyfriend isn't around and I need a little extra steam in my imagination to get the job done; and there are the occasions when we watch it together. Nothin' wrong there. There's a time and a place, and a time limit for everything.
Don't do it at work, unless it IS your work :-)
this is what i was going to make a comment about. porn gives people some unrealistic expectations, to where what they get in real life is no longer enough to satisfy them. but i think it is more than just porn. look at how much women feel they have to change themselves with surgery and makeup and treatments of all sorts to fit the magazine cover image... and yet, even the models themselves do not look like the magazine cover image of themselves - these falsified images, or the unrealistic situations that occur in porn - though they are on different levels, they both represent how exposure, especially repeated exposure, to something unreal, especially that something unreal being represented as a reality, can make people sometimes believe that it should become their reality. it can destroy marriages, relationships, lives...
like you said. people with addictive personalities will find the addiction of their choice.
But it's more fun to sell porn magazines on eBay as a hobby.
