Do you think that pornography is harmful to society?

I ask because the misc is notoriously conservative and yet, seems to make threads about pornstars on a daily basis.

I would have to go with yes, though I don't think it should be banned. We 100% need to do a better job of keeping it away from children though--and by that I mean people under 18.

In the same way 13 year olds should not be drinking, they should not be watching extreme material they don't fully understand.

Discuss why or why not.
Be patient like the mountain. And you will learn to be strong.

I really don't see it as harmful. Hell, I used to order Playboy on the TV when I was 11 because my parents never put parental controls on anything and I turned out fine. It's the ones that cannot do anything in moderation, lol. Anything in excess will screw you up somehow.
Funny story, I remember my father coming up to me and asking if I ordered $150 worth of porn in a month on the TV

Yes i think so. Guys will use it as a safety net and it gives them a reason to never leave their comfort zones. Porn is a huge reason that this forum is filled with BETAS ffs.

Yeah, the dems live by their creed... flying their private jets when lecturing me that I should drive a prius, or having their professional bodyguards and tell me I don't need my guns to protect myself.

Been watching pr0n ever since I was nine and besides being addicted to watching and making it, I do not see it as an issue. What kids need is more spanking, not less pr0n.

I remember when I was 14. I first searched Lindsey Lohan nude into the msn search engine. After that I kept going down the rabbit hole. Some teenage kid showed me meatspin.com and 2 girls 1 cup etc. Soon I kept thinking that every female on the planet are nothing but whores and cheaters. Whenever I was at school I kept imagining that the females I saw on a daily basis were doing unspeakable things constantly in secret. Porn really messed up my view on women for a long time.

But should we get rid of porn? No. It's human nature to look at stuff. Really it's just a matter of redirecting sexual frustration and energy in a more positive healthy manner.

ye i think so...

i think looking at occasional nudes or bikini pics isnt bad in moderation

but watching 2 people go at it is still so weird to think about even in our time and day. theyre strangers and theyre having intimate (altho usually fake) sex (fake as in girl probably screams more than she would irl, and there are breaks in between so that the guy can last longer etc.) ur watching another dude, with a huge dick btw, smash a sloot with huge teds and huge ass. objectifying people and just weird overall... it really does mess with ur psyche. i think thats why people nowadays are more socially awkward, less empathetic, etc.

i also agree with the other user in here, its a safety net for a lot of people. plus it enforces a cuck mentality because ur watching another girl get smashed by a dude whos not u.

Yes, it’s harmful. If watched too much there are a few negative effects that result from it. Developing both unrealistic and unhealthy views of both the opposite sex and sex itself, addiction (could possibly start to prefer fapping to sex which is asinine imo), and it is basically training yourself to “finish” too quickly if you fap to pron. (maybe not an issue for the ladies, lol).


Watching it once in a while probably won’t cause any issues but if you can avoid watching it then you probably should.

Imo the availability of pornography makes society value sex less. Since sex was something that connected only husband and wife, and now connects everybody, it devalues marriage. Single parents are very bad for society.

I have no evidence to back up my opinion on sex and marriage other than a study that shows more sex partners meant increased chance of divorce. This study is not related to porn and doesn't prove more sex causes more divorce.

The American conservative mind has a lot more reason to consume it than any other.

As far as any addictive nature involved, you don't suppress something so fundamental as sexuality and not expect repercussions. Westernized (moreso pseudo-Puritan/American) thinking simply hasn't caught up to reality yet. The various social "safety valves" in place now to address that repressed sexuality aren't working. As usual people are more concerned with the symptoms and not the actual problem.

The kind of man who is willing to rape a woman is willing to do it regardless.

I also disagree with this--a LOT of sex offenders are also porn addicts.

Porn is good if you need to explore your sexual side or if you're horny and incapable of getting laid atm and need a quick release, other than that there's many people (for some reason) who get mentally fuked by porn to the point they can't distinguish porn and real life.
