one good reason to not watch adult materials with your children, is because it is illegal.

and no, I don't watch or possess any of them to begin with.

nor do I rent them.

you should know better than that.
and you do.

Reading these posts by the porno lovers is painful and too visual to think about for too long.

So...............are you guys married?

The reason I ask is because if your wife knows about your love of porn, and doesn't mind, then she's the exception to the rule. Perhaps it's used as a tool in the bedroom. I'm cool with that. :-)

If she doesn't then I would guess it's because you know she probably would consider your "dabbling" and "dribbling" as a form of infidelity. I know I would. Now, if you couldn't care less why women would think that, then perhaps you also live by the reasoning that "what she doesn't know won't hurt her?"

Just by some of your opinions here, that she must be at fault for your horniness which is why you allow yourself this type of entertainment, I see why so many relationships break up. If she's "not putting out", which justifies your scanning the porn sites for "relief," then something else is wrong in your relationship. HMMMM........maybe not hard to figure that one out.

It is discouraging that so many men consider it OK to slobber over strange women's genitalia while they work their own into submission. Sad really........and shows a complete disregard for women in general, except to oggle their privates for your own entertainment and because "it's there for the looking." A fella I was dating, and whom I trusted, was not only checking out the "boobies" (an immature term for breasts) but was also trying to connect with other women in chat rooms. He was "getting it" plenty at home by the way. I dumped him quickly.

A gentleman that I fell in love with a few years later understood the importance of treating a woman with respect which in turns breed respect. For society to have come to a place where sex and all its other activities are no longer a private matter, but for everyone to slurp up, shows the overwhelming proliferation of deviancy. To find it so normal to have so many women to look at, at any given time, is not normal. It's just another example of a society that has lost its meaning of decorum, manners, and a healthy respect for a wonderful act.

You're turn.......and don't bother calling me a prude. I have a very imaginative sexual nature. Just picky about whom I share it with.

Indeed it is.
Whenever I see the concerned women, crap... I know it's going to be a day for the flake jobs.

Nanny staters in the name of Jesus.

well, as long as it makes the world safe for a three year old... the state ought to enact it, right?

Ok, I suppose the need for a cigarrette doesn't lead to a desire? Porn is an addiction just like niccotine and coccaine and morphine and alcohol...

Even for an occassional drink, if there is a desire for it it leads to a want, then a permanent need... All progressive. and as I have stated before, it does matter on your ability to control yourself, there are those that cannot and dive head first into the arena, then there are those that are thinking they a mature enough to handle it then end up like the "frog in the pot"...

NO thanks, I will just leave it at this. Those that defend porn are destined to be taken by it.

That is my opinion and try to prove me wrong. Instead of trying to bring me down, why don't you do the research yourself? Become a marriage counselor and listen to the arguements, I am sorry.

If there wasn't a desire to watch, then this wouldn't be a discussion, if it wasn't a heated debate, then there wasn't a need for justification and if there wasn't a need for ustification, then there isn't anything wrong

I shared this thread with my wife, who commented, "They just don't understand that you've substituted bike porn in your life. If they saw the motorcycle magazines in the bathroom, on your nightstand or on the coffee table, they'd understand." So there you have it, I'm addicted to bike porn. I'm an addict.

Couldn't have put it better myself, sister!

I'm divorced. When I was married, I had almost zero interest in pornography. That wasn't because I had a problem with the idea, I just don't have that much interest when my sex life is satisfactory. Now, ironically enough, my second wife toward the end actually suggested a few times that we watch porn together, because she thought the problem was that I was unsatisfied. The problem was not that I was unsatisfied in that regard, but that she was obsessively possessive and did not ever want me out of her sight.

I'm starting to think that you're just mad. I get the occasional urge for a drink every now and then. As a matter of fact, my wife and I went out for margaritas just this Saturday. Not all desires and wants lead to permanent needs. The very idea is just crazy.

On your own bio you state you are a struggling Christian...Now I know why....

Perhaps if you let some of these things go, you would have to struggle with this burden.

if everyone that had a "fleeting thought", or looked at porn, was raping people than there would be about 1,000 times more rapes than there are now.

I think that's a good assessment. The article brings up the case of Ted Bundy, but we need to bear in mind not only that Ted Bundy probably knew no more about what motivated him to kill than the professionals who were examining him, but also that there are millions of adult men who look at porn, but only a small handful of rapists and serial killers active at any one time. Porn may be reprehensible, but it's obviously not causing violent crime.

You want Bella to repsect the ally that co-opted and changed her religion and now tries to get her to 'convert' to theirs. Good one!

Why lie on death row?

Bundy did nothing but lie on death row. His last lie was his last ditch appeal to postpone his execution so he could take investigators to the bodies of women he claimed to have murdered, but told no one about.

Simply put, Bundy lied to save his ass. Bundy lied to Dobson in the hopes of winning Dobson's sympathy, and hoping to leverage that sympathy into something that could save his ass.

I am not mad. I do not have any desire to get a drink after 8 years of being an alcoholic. I never went to AA and I never took any drugs, It was Jesus that shook that bondage off of me.

Those of us that know, really know. THose that think they know are really faking it. NO WANT FOR ANYTHING, I am free from those vises!

I have no problem believing that sexual predators and pedophiles are influenced by porn. However I don't buy the argument that it is the fault of the porn. This is just the perps trying to avoid responsibility for their actions.

IMO a person with 'healthy' sexual urges, would be repulsed by the violent, abberant and kiddie porn cited in this article. I could see those with perverted urges being attracted to this sort of stuff.

I never said all blue-ink tats were prison tats. But all prison tats are blue-ink. If you're looking for members of a prison gang, you're looking for blue ink, that's just the way it is.

The designs themselves are the most telling element, obviously. But since this isn't a thread about prison tattoos, and since there are so many designs, I didn't feel the need to go into it.

Sorry you took it wrong. My wife has a blue-ink tattoo herself, and I know she's not affiliated.

Whether the person prefers children or adults, ANY PORN WILL DO.

Uhh... NO. I've never said to myself "Where are my Jenna Jameson videos and Playboys? Oh well, I'll go find some kiddie porn instead".

It DOES NOT work that way.

Normal, healthy men lust after adult women. Sick, demented subhuman pedophiles won't swtich on Spice TV or grab a copy of Hustler when they can't get illegal child porn.

I don't recall ever hearing of any of those pedophile priests getting busted with a copy of Playboy in their desks... Might be wrong there but I doubt it.

Then everyone who ever took a drink of their own volition would become an alcoholic.

Subject matter notwithstanding, the level of stupidity and preening self-righteousness on this thread is staggering.

Dear Father, please save us from those who live to save us, amen.
