Does pornography have a legitimate place in society?

[Skwim]

I think someone has an unhealthy obsession with Miranda Cosgrove

Isn't she a teenager, like 16 or 17 years old?

Maybe, but I don't want to **** her. That's the critical difference. I always wanted a little sister, but I never got one. So, whenever I watch her on tv or in music videos, I get this warm and fuzzy feelings, especially since she always plays the little sister role on Nickelodeon.

Damn, that was a good come back.

very occasionally i come out with them , cheers for the frubals

I got ya. I was really just givin ya a little crap. I didn't really think you had some wierd sexual affinity, nor would I have expected you to advertise it here.

To be honest I've watched it a few times (thanks to the wife) and didn't hate it. Was a lot less corny than most of the shows on nick.

catching them doesnt solve the problem though

but if pornography really had a legitimate place in society, it should be legitimate in all its forms. Why should one form of pornography be legitimate for one particular group, but not another form which caters to another group?


if porn really acted as a safe alternative way to express urges, then that should stand true for all urges...yet we recognize that this is not the case because not all urges are acceptable or safe.

That's probably why there are "taboo" fantasies within pornography, or 'acting'. In America not all pornography is legal. This is probably one of the major reasons why those who are answering "yes" to this question [including the supreme court] will make sure to mention that consensual acts of sexual behavior between adults is [and should be] the only legal form of pornography. That isn't ambiguous. It gets a little more ambiguous when the legitimacy of pornography [in general?] comes into question.

I think consensual sex between three to five adults, that is imaginative is healthier than pornography. But I have nothing against legal pornography.

Please explain your answer if you would.

Thanks.

I chose "not sure" because I'm not sure if anything is legitimate. Pornography exists in society and the human condition because it is a force of nature. But not all forces of nature and not everything in the human condition is legitimate.

There is a very huge and obvious difference between something that involves consenting adults and something that involves victimized and exploited children.

Let's not forget exploited corpses and animals. And hey!

Yeah, but to be honest, if I was in your position, I'd probably be acting as head pedo inquisitor. I cannot expect for people to know what is in my head, and I would think the same thing if I saw a sig like mine, at least in jest.

I am so sick of the Two and Half Men-style that is permeating comedy these days. Sex jokes are funny, but I am sick of comedies that exclusively rely on them. I watch Nickelodeon comedies, because I feel that their inability to really make any kind of sex jokes forces the writers to be creative.

However, the pornography industry routinely exploits people who are legal adults, but who are still 8-years away from full cognitive and emotional development.

which is all the more reason for us to question ours :yes:

Unlike the gladiators, who were slaves, porn actors and actresses can leave at anytime.

So why are they legal adults then? If they commit a crime, would you use the same defense?

Well, at some point you have to decide that people are old enough to make their own decisions and their own mistakes, and while the maturity level of people vary we do need a proper legal limit for judicial purposes.

And as has been pointed out, I don't see that defence used a lot when the same legal adults commit crimes.

I would. I go to college and I can definitely say that the vast majority of the students are not adults as far as maturity is concerned. Setting the age of consent higher is definitely something I would do without a second thought.

Like raising the driving age and legal drinking age to 28.

Age largely has nothing to do with maturity.

Apples and oranges. First off, driving has very productive ends, whereas there is no apparent benefit to pornography. Secondly, the statistics do not indicate that raising the drinking age does much to prevent alcohol consumption. Thirdly, placing an age of consent on pornography has been proven to work. That is, only underground contraband deals in child pornography. Thus, there is a good chance forbidding anyone under 22 from participating in pornography would work.
