Pornography is a poison. Sorry to hear that you self-ingest.

The industry is able to weather tough economic times on the production side because they have small budgets, use small crews and minimal sets.

...not to mention the savings on costumes.

That's no different than saying the "gun culture" created Tim McVeigh. Just because your religion makes you feel bad about sexuality doesn't mean everyone has to suffer your neurosis.

last week zogby was on the radio saying that church attendance was up 50% across all denominations since 9/11. and the porn industry is up 20%

go figure?

Bundy was a sociopath, he was a murderer with or without porn, he wanted an excuse/scapegoat a la clinton. Those sorts of people never take any responsibility for their actions, always look for an excuse.

back in the 70's in Utah there was a murder where some young men (18-22 I recall) viewed a Clint Eastwood movie at their AF base. Within a couple of days of seeing the movie they robbed a stereo store, while committing the crime they murdered some of the employee's and forced a couple of people to swallow drano, this was the method used by a pimp to murder a hooker in the Dirty Harry film.

I would maintain that these people were criminals at heart and would have harmed people with or without the Dirty Harry film. Banning Dirty Harry films wouldn't have prevent thier crimes.

What was it George Carlin said "You never have to worry about employees showing up late for work in the sex Industry, their always on time & up for the occasion."

No surprise here. A lot things go on behind closed doors - even among the faithful.

[mlocher]

a lot of things go on behind closed doors...

i suppose you are right. if we are afraid to go out in public, then there is not much else to do...

it would seem that the terrorists are winning and everybody is happy [smile]

Should we expect a new FReeper with the handle, "Terror Sex"?

[discostu]

Hear hear. I'm sick of the Ted Bundy dodge. Ted was a nutcase hung up on rough sex and killing women. Let's also not forget that he used to volunteer in a rape crisis center (where he met Ann Rule who parlayed that friendship (along with some solid writing skills) into becoming the queen of true crime). That's how the guy was, he was willing to get his jollies any way he could, even by masquerading as a supportive and friendly voice on the other end of the phone counseling traumatized women. Notice nobody ever uses Ted's involvement there to try to ban rape crisis centers. It's always "porno drove Ted to killing", newsflash: a powder blue VW bug drove Ted to his killings (bugs were the car of choice for serial killers back then, nobody is quite sure why, now it's vans which makes a lot more sense).

Here is a quick primer in gender of Italian nouns. Bella is female. I am female. Yup, a female who likes porn.

[hobbes1]

As a long time viewer of pornographic material, I can tell you that all it has made me want to do is have sex with the person I am with.

Hmmmmmm, Want to Hang out ?????

just Teasin'... ; )

[Bella_Bru]

You said: As long as it's not with your wife or your kids, right?

That is why I was pointing out that I am female. I do not have a wife. And if I ever have kids, when they are adults, I am not going to spend time thinking about what they do behind closed doors. That's a bit perverse, don't you think?

[Bella_Bru]

I think Stone might get a little upset. You'd have to bring some lady friends along and turn it into a party.
