Decadence. Historically, decadent eras have been followed by religious eras. When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it usually comes back with a crash.

These same kids are coming from schools that have gay clubs and "coming out" days.

Homosexuality is not about love, it is about hedonism.

As 16-year-old Scott Timsit told the reporter, "Pornography is just part of the culture now. It's almost like it's not even, like, porn."

Classic desensitization.

The long term health effects of STDs contracted in one's
youth havent even been felt by the culture just yet...

Living with an incurable low grade infection can
have devastating consequences as one approaches 40....

Precursors for all kinds of debilitating ailments...

Kids never could see down the road too far.....

Which is one thing the evil promoters of this filth count on.

The downgrading of Americas morality is not coming from porn movies, but sex education classes in school, filth in the reguler movies, and on television. I do not believe most children under 18 have that much access to what would be called hard core porn movies. They do watch TV commercials for erectional dysfunction and herpes cures.

Watch enough erectional dysfunction commercials and they start to believe walking around with a hard-on will get you anything you need in life. Look at Bob.

Pretty much agreed. My parents solved the sex-ed problem pretty easily though. They instilled in us that sex should only be as an expression of love (and to have children) between a married husband and wife. They ALWAYS previewed the sex-ed material and it really did NOT affect us if we attended or if we didn't. None of my siblings nor I had premarital sex because of the values we were taught.

Oh puhleez.

Every generation thinks they invented sex.

And there are enough old farts who never got any to be their enablers in thinking that way.

I'm guessing you are old enough to remember all the way back to the 90s.

In any case, there is a difference between sex and porn. When I was a teen, you were supposed to at least pretend you cared about the girl. Now, as best as I can tell, they prefer it if you don't.

That is so true, it is exactly what I was thinking. It is also the reason why conservatism is on the rise and Liberal is now the bad word.

I plan to buy her book HOME INVASION. Porn dehumnizes men and women, it is prostitution with an audience.

When I was a young man, there were onlyl two venereal diseases and both were curable with penicillin.

What incurable-low-grade-infection nightmare do you mean? Something I never heard of, probably.

In a sense he is right, it isn't porn anymore BUT becuse of heman nature SOMETHING must be "porn" and wait till you see THAT. "...the wine stronger and the music madder.."

Nah, the 70s.

More drugs, less lite bondage.

Most of human history is not as prudish as American Old-Fart-ism.
