Pr0n's Effect On Society
Rytis writes "An article at the Financial Times is analysing the growing impact of internet pornography, the phenomena itself and the problems that it causes to our society. Surveys within Great Britain have shown that more than a half of 9-19 years olds have seen pornography online. From the article: 'To some men, Haynes argues, clicking on porn is simply a way to pass the time. It's a hobby. Once they'd idly play solitaire; now they idly click on a porn site. Others, though, succumb to addiction: Most addictions are to do with internal emptiness, wanting to fill up dead space, and addiction is always destructive.'"
Heck, looking at pr0n is "playing solitaire", if you know what I mean...
My sig is too lon
Porn not bad. I can good still type.
But until you can look at porn while sitting on hold for tech support at work, it's just not the same.

Especially in Germany.
There is no doubt that internet pornography has a negative effect on Society. I witness it daily.
This message is for you fellow customers of AceDSL: Stop all the downloads. I'm trying to play ET and you're killing my ping. You're not the only one with addictions you know.
If we have any hope of salvaging our society you must redeem yourselves! Remember, the first path towards salvation is moderation, so start rate limiting.

"But seriously, what's with the title, "pr0n"? How old are we here? Call it porn, or don't talk about it at all."

By reading this, you have given me brief control of your mind.

To paraphrase the parent:
Safe sex is in your hands.
I agree here totally. The needed "safety valve" is a good way to expend energy, and be creative. When you keep busy that energy that is normally given to the sex drives is diverted elsewhere. Some say mastubation is better than outright sex. They may be right. But I say simply diverting that sexual energy and waiting to even think about sex until your married is better. I think the most wonderful thing a man could offer a woman on their wedding night is the assurance that he has never lusted over another woman in his life. That's almost impossible. But being a virgin until your wedding night is just as important. That is my goal, and I am working the other.

Sure when I was 9 or 10 (late 70s) I saw Playboys, Penthouse, etc. I guess the question is ...is there a difference between seeing a female in Playboy in one of those mags and seeing what is on the net. One has a woman posing sexily and the other has her sticking her fist up some other chicks ass while a doneky rapes her.
Why would telling your wife that you're gay on your wedding night be the most wonderful thing you could do for her?
Because if you've gotten yourself all the way to marrying age without even lusting after a woman, you're either getting married at age 10 or you're a homosexual.
Threesomes.

A world without pr0n?

Haha, that makes me think of a Family Guy episode I saw where the usual group of guys is watching TV.
TV: "Next week on Deadwood." Camera pans to two cowboys looking at porno magazines...
Cowboy 1: "Anything yet?"
Cowboy 2: "Nope, nothin' yet."
TV: "Stay tuned!"
"I am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left, and it would be called 'bring back the porn'"
-Dr. Cox (Scrubs)
Just remember the next time you download a video that it was probably the internet porn industry that has a big hand in making that technology available to the masses...
...but Al Gore might still take the credit for it.
Without porn the internet would not be where it is today.
sorry..., I had to throw that last part in there somewhere.
Interesting, I think the most wonderful thing you could give your wife on your wedding night is a few really good orgasms and a sex experience that lasts more than five seconds (not counting bra removal time).
> wanting to fill up dead space
Ok, now that's gross. I didn't know necrophilia was that big a problem.

Where'd you see that?
I say just ADD "video games", "beer", "marijuana" and you've got yourself one hell of a weekend.
I'd rather catch my 15 year old masturbating to Internet porn than impregnating or being impregnated by someone else.
Your 15-year-old has a choice? Wow...
Link?
We're a very progressive household.

My Aunt Tillie always used anecdotal evidence. I doubt she ever cited a statistically valid study in her life, and she lived to be a hundred and five.

You just made the point of the article. You're no longer stimulated by what once stimulated you - you need more extreme and different images to get off. Are you better off now because you're turned on by wrestling boots? How much time a day to you spend on these activities?
I pity you and your sad life, for yours is the definition of "empty". Your justifications, your defensiveness, your attack on those against online porn are pathetic. I write all this not as a "religious busybody" (because I'm not particularly religious) but as a human. You're obsessed, addicted, and you don't even know it. Or maybe you do and throw up excuses to justify it.
the bible also doesn't say that Jesus pissed or crapped. Are we then to assume that Jesus never did those things and we shouldn't either?
Well, I have no trouble believing that religious people never crap. In fact, this theory explains quite a lot.
the bible is not complete. Do a little research into how the New Testement was created.
Hey, I can assure you first-hand that committees are infallible. And this particular one even had a majority vote that Jesus was divine. You can't beat the majority vote of a committee of indoctrinated cult members!
While I get what you're saying, you should really try to think of an analogy which does not include the word "purchase" in it...
If porn and excercise were equally beneficial I'd be able to juggle 18-wheelers...
"I'm sure online porn probably encourages people to commit sexual crimes"
Yeah, and I'm sure spiderman encourages people to jump off buildings.
