Pornography poll

A child isn't mature or responsible enough to make informed consent, so it's always exploitation when children are involved.

Ok an adult "consents" to slave labour

Most men wouldnt be aroused by having sex with an inanimate woman. Also, most men do care about a womans consent.

I dont know about you, but I dont ask permission to my stuff before I use, and I am an animist.

Saying men see women as sex objects is simply wrong. To the very least, most men dont.

pretty much all men want women for is sex and sex and oh wait more sex, so what i said is really true. Your to much into degrading women to see that.

Not sure if sarcasm or idiocy...

In terms of the American porn industry, we can only assume that those participating are consenting adults and that there's no exploitation involved.

FH and I don't watch or read it, so it's not anything that weights heavily on our conscience.

Obviously not.

If those featured in pornographic material are not consenting and/or not adults, then it goes without saying that it's an intolerable injustice.

We're talking about porn that involves consenting adults, specifically the adult industry in the U.S. and other developed western nations.

A lot of men are like this and on the flipside, there are a lot of women who don't respect themselves enough to want decency in men and out of relationships.

There are good men and women who value their partner for more than physicality. Trust and communication is an important foundation for these types of relationships.

What does FH stand for?

Well I am not a kid first off and the avatar pic is a cartoon so it is not real. It is a joke.

It is none of them, it is the truth. In movies,porn,magazines,tv, pretty much everywhere there is a proclaiming of women that is they are just for sex. All for men, it is the truth. I bet you would agree with this statment if a MOD said it.

Why would we assume that when we know for a fact it is often untrue?

Amen sister! The fact is we don't know if every act in a porn scene is consensual. We do know that women have been rape in porn because they have said so! And their rape is out there for everyone with an internet connection to jerk off to.

It's a non issue to me. Not only do I find porn to be useless, but, I can't, in good faith, as a mother, in particular, watch something, not knowing if the girls involved are of age and willing.

But, I do think, as with any industry, there's the good and the bad. The problem, is that the viewer can't know for certain what they're watching and that's a big issue for me.

But, I'm not going to say that there aren't women who have chosen their profession. There are women who choose to strip, dance, escort and prostitute. What's the difference? If a woman can make a confident decision to partake in one of these professions, why can't they choose to participate in porn?

There are standards within the porn industry that participants are drug tested and of legal. How strictly this is enforced, I have no freaking clue and it's not my area of interest to focus too heavily on this. I would never consider any of the aforementioned professions, save having an appreciation for the skill that's involved in pole dancing.

Should porn be banned? No. Should it be regulated so that people aren't forced into that which they don't want to do and aren't well enough to do or of legal age to do? Yes.

No, I wouldn't, because it most assuredly is not truth that women are only used for sex.

I also noticed your moving of the goalposts. Good form.

Therefore, it's all bad. Kind of like food. Some food, when poorly prepared, can kill you. Let's all not eat.

That is the way they are often presented but they are not necessarily perceived that way by the viewer.

most men deep down do not respect women.

No it's NOT kind of like food! It's kind of like, HUMAN BEINGS!

 

[Gjallarhorn]

From men only wanting women for sex to media portraying women as sex objects.

There is a difference, you know.

No it's NOT kind of like food! It's kind of like, HUMAN BEINGS!

And yet the metaphor works.

Yeah because if we don't watch porn we'll die.
