Yes.
They know it's wrong.
If these folks truly believed porn *isn't* wrong they'd have no problem "enjoying" it in front of their children and grandchildren.
But porn is something to hide, because of the immorality of using it and the guilt that inevitably follows.
Yeah exactly right - I can't wait till the kids are around to kick on Chicks w/ D$%^& in the dvd player.
Would you have sex with your wife in front of your kids or grandkids?
Would you shower in front of them?
Would you watch Schindler's List with a 5 year-old?
I would imagine that the answer to these questions is no. So, is there anything wrong with any of these things?
Do you have sex in front of your children and grandchildren?
yanno, I wouldn't let a kid of mine skydive before he or she reached a level of maturity needed to handle the experience.
does that mean I am ashamed of having enjoyed jumping out of airplanes?
your arguments are full of logical errors.
please take a moment to examine them critically.
Yes, exactly.
And their hints or outright statements that they are addicted to porn are alway so cutesy-clever, so full of smirky pathetic humor. Because people who are subject to compulsions and addictions always know that they are less than fully adult, far less.
They know it's wrong.
I certainly don't. Why don't you explain it to me?
If these folks truly believed porn *isn't* wrong they'd have no problem "enjoying" it in front of their children and grandchildren.
That is a lie, as has already been demonstrated. I wouldn't have sex in front of my children, and that certainly isn't because there's anything inherently wrong with sex. I wouldn't even have had the sex that conceived them in front of my children. I wouldn't do a number of things in front of my children simply because they are children and the things in question are inappropriate for children, even though appropriate for adults.
Maybe you are a mental child, but I am not. And, if I so choose I will do the things that are appropriate for adults in their context regardless of whether they are appropriate for children.
Once again, a specious argument that detracts from your credibility. Let's follow the logic: if one hides something (or more accurately, is disinclined to do it in front of their children and grandchildren), then it must be because it is immoral and spawns guilt.
I do not go to the bathroom in front of my children. I do not shower in front of my children. I do not have sex in front of my children (even when I was married and the sex was "legitimate".) I do not pick my nose or fart or belch or pick my toes or my navel or do my taxes in front of my children.
There are certain activities that belong in the adult realm, or at least the private one. Privacy does not equate to guilt, although certainly guilt could be one reason for desiring privacy. But simple modesty may be another. Or respect for another's sensibilities.
YOU may feel guilty about porn or sex. But it is specious (and a conceit) to extend that sentiment to everyone else.
Ummmm....I think sex is a wonderful, wonderful thing, yet I would never enage in it in front of my children. There isn't room here to list the acts that I enjoy with my wife that I wouldn't even do within earshot of the children. Just because you wouldn't do something in front of children, doesn't make it wrong or ugly. It just makes it adult and/or private.
Puh-leeze. Do you engage in sexual congress with your spouse in front of your children and grandchildren? Do you urinate in front of your children and grandchildren? Do you say what you really think of Bill Clinton in front of your children and grandchildren? Do you have medical procedures performed on you in front of your children and grandchildren?
