SS is right. You have an addiction. You will most likely substitute one addiction for another until you see that you have an addictive personality. Most do. We are creatures of habit. It is keeping things in check that is hard.

Very true. It actually is the mechanism of reward (or pleasure) which enhances the "learning" of the behavior. Thus, it can be argued that it is learning and it's enforcing mechanisms without the consideration of boundaries which underlies addiction.

It is ironic that one of the mechanisms which allowed us to become the dominant species on earth when unrestrained can become so destructive of that end.

just whistlin and lookin all innocent--a technique exclusive to four-time convicted felons.

kingbee.....where're the links to this stuff?

If the poster of the OT has a problem like this, or not, personal attacks should be avoided........

Just supply the links.

Ya! Doc looks pretty good there!

Hey where you been Texas Wahine? Maybe it is me or have not seen you around in a while.

And you are right... atleast the first thing is right ... kicking the habit!

It's not hard. Pun intended.

Lame.

Anyways, I think porn is fine the way it is right now. It should be free, and it should be available to all. Why? Because it's perfectly natural and healthy.

And let me tell you something, the only reason Porn is the big "OMG" that it is today is because our governments make out sex and naked human bodies to be bad. I guarantee in the cave man ages, nakedness and public fucking and all the other taboos and so forth we're not a big deal. They did it everyday, and I'm sure their children saw. It was perfectly natural, naive, and honest. Their was no shame or disgrace associated with it I'm sure.

They probably thought, well hell, THIS feels damn good. Let's keep doing this, fuck, let's spread the word around, c'mon everybody let's fuck!

And then came religion. Which shamed everybody into thinking for playing with eachothers twats and cocks that they are going to hell or some weird ass shit like that. Bullshit.

Fast forward to modern times, and sex and human bodies are taboos and are devilry. Absolute bullshit.

I say to everyone, GO FUCK YOURSELF. And I mean it sincerely, and I say it with a smile, and you should be smiling too while playing with yourself. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. DON'T FEEL ASHAMED.

Besides. I'd rather my son or daughter watch porn and relieve their sexual tension alone and in their own privacy, than getting pregnant, or perhaps turning into a serial kilelr all because they couldn't relieve themselves.

FUCK THE FEARMONGERS!

Well said... people railing at an activating event (in this case, porn), would do better to work on their relationship with it so it stops interfering with their life.

Totalitarianism aside, kinda hard to find examples that bypass the freedom to choose and 'controls' people without their consent.

My husband informed me that thumbnails and imagination are free, LOL.

Where are the tentacles and tropical fish exchanges?  (I looked and there are no appropriate emoticons for this particular comment, LOL).

The only porn that should be controlled (out of existence) is child pornography and anything to do with child exploitation.  Oh yeah, and anything to do with rape and/or violence; snuff movies and the like. 

I could also include stuff involving animals, which is particularly abhorrent to me, but then, various authorities have been trying to stamp out 'nasty' porn for years and have failed to do so. While there is a market it will continue to be displayed in magazines, cinemas and on the internet... because the censors and those trying to police the anti-nasty porn laws do not have all seeing eyes or far enough reaching arms.

As for the mutual 'natural' stuff, even mutual fetishes between consenting adults, well that's another story and I am neither for or against it.  Providing it is privately viewed by consenting adults and not shown to children, I don't see a lot wrong with it when viewed responsibly.

Oh yes, one can be affected/reached by porn on 'purportedly clean' sites.  When I was new to the internet and searching for music links/information, I often had porn popups/popunders when searching so-called music related sites.  At one point, I clicked on a link to a music query (from within one of my search results) and I was taken to a page that had porn (as well as other things) on it.  Worse still, clicking on the back button to return to my google search page didn't work... it just resulted in a loop that kept taking me back to that and/or other pages containing porn. 

Yup, my browser was hijacked and I was getting unsolicited porn spam in my email box... which I no longer get because I've since changed ISP/address and refuse point blank to use Google search/mail or any of its other products/services ever again.

for real?  very similar writing style (whining style too, for that matter) but i trust your wisdom ms w.

i appear to stand corrected and i've removed the content of both comments.  (my previous observations about intervenous porn injection techniques seem to me still appropriate).

i guess too much porn done addled my brain.
