Who Here Supports and Defends Pornography as Legitimate?

[_Some Schmo]

What do you mean by "defend pornography as legitimate?" Legitimate art form? Legitimate business? Legitimate pastime? Legitimate photography? What?

I have no problem with porn that doesn't hurt anyone (as opposed to child porn, snuff films, or whatever). If it's consenting adults enjoying themselves, I have no problem with it.

I suppose that makes me a corporation hating liberal hippy all by itself.

Hurting someone IS consenting adults enjoying themselves.

Sex without spanking is like an ice cream sundae without the ice cream.

I may not like Droopy's choice of porn (Sausagefest Parts VI-XII), but I'll fight to the death for his right to watch it!

Funny you should say that. I was thinking that exact thing as I typed up my post. In some cases, it's true.

But that's a nuance that would only confuse Droopy, and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible so he'd understand.

Dude, that brunette Eve was smoking hot.

And she's in that movie where she's walking around naked, and then does bad things so she has to be punished......

She looked kinda vacant to me. Like a stepford wife or robot.

Which is precisely how the Church wants Mormon women to be.

Yeah this is probably true. They probably look at the guy that can't get any as kind of a loser.

If the man is a loser than why do women care what he views? He's not hurting anyone by viewing pornography. No women are interested in him anyway. How is it then some kind of self destruction?

Oh I'm not saying he is a loser. I'm just saying that might be how a LDS women might look at him as.

What about a single person orgasm makes god so upset?

Of course, that only accounts for God's anger at a single male's orgasm.

The church should turn that into a Primary song for the kids.

When it comes to pornography and masturbation, both are unnecessary, carnal indulgences. I am very much in favor of sexual tensions building in individuals with no release, to the point that these people cannot focus on their work or school, and to the further point that they commit rape and other violence.

Oh, wait, that's the LDS position.

On second thought...nevermind.

Regarding the standard, orthodox social leftist position on pornography, to wit, that it does not in any manner influence or incite sexual violence or provoke criminal sexual activity, it's now interesting to see someone assert that sexual tensions themselves are quite enough, if left unreleased, to provoke rape, molestation, and sexual assault. It would seem that if sexual feelings, thoughts, and fantasies are enough to create a situation, in normal, civilized male adults, in which they become predatory animals seeking orgasm at any cost, then pornography, which concentrates and heightens sexual apatite, incites craving, and provokes highly unrealistic expectations in the sexual area, would, if unfulfilled in some actual behavioral way, lead to the very same conditions, and lead to them with greater frequency and intensity.

Of course, this idea of sexual tension leading otherwise normal males to running amok in the streets seeking release is pure left-wing bosh that is only taken seriously by the most intellectually facile and unreflective cultural lapdogs of Kinsey and in movies like Porky's, in which unreleased sexual tension leads to visits to whorehouses and statutory rape.

Yes, let's all organize our views of social reality and the human condition around prurient Hollywood T&A flicks made for young males behind in their psychological maturity but not in physical maturation.

Credibility: Zero.

Intellectual substance: A pure vacuum, very similar to conditions obtaining in the vicinity of the Ort Cloud.

Psychiatric prognosis: The entire DSM, from cover to cover, including the Library of Congress information.

The DSM IV hardly supports your views on human sexuality, Droopy.
