But this stuff is going out on video for national distribution. It could show up infront of anyone at anytime. Brothers, cousins, friends, etc. Once word gets out in your hometown, you are exposed (literally). How foolish!!!

Agree--well said.

[freepersup]

I am really ashamed of what I am about to show you

[Wolfie]

Heck, the U.S. is so obsessed with breasts that the Girls Gone Wild guy is a millionaire many times over. Anywhere else, his videos would elicit a big yawn.

[Protagoras]

The only good thing about the current proliferation of nudity is that it will evoke boredom as you have suggested.

[Doomonyou]

If I were you, I would expect a visit from Hillarys secret service detail!

Every one of these "girls gone wild" is some daddy's princess.

That, in a nutshell, is why I do not look at pornography.

Men: the next time you sit down to enjoy some skin, ask yourself "Would I want some strange man looking at my daughter like this?"

Yes, looking at naked women is fun. But that doesn't make it right. The mark of a man is the ability to master one's passions, not be a slave to them.

and so far, not to my surprise, we have not been bombarded by the request for pictures. Great comments.

Every generation thinks its invented sex, and every previous generation shakes its head in righteous indignation. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I never for an instant thought I "invented" sex.

It was still one heck of a personal discovery, however.

[Physicist]

Yes, looking at naked women is fun. But that doesn't make it right.

And every enjoyable pastime seriously offends somebody, somewhere. But that doesn't make it wrong.

Having someone ogle my daughters would bother me, yes. That's because they're 7 and 5 years old. But they won't be children forever: at some point, it will be their call, not mine. Will it be tough to let go? I'm certain it will, but the oglers won't owe me a moment's consideration for all that. My daughters might, but that's between me and them.

I wonder if these girls think about how disappointed their mothers and fathers would be or how their future husbands feel about their breasts being flashed to thousands if not millions.

Some sketch comedy show did a skit where a teenage girl is sitting on the sofa with her mom and dad when an add for a "Girls Gone Wild" type of video comes on the screen and she is the featured girl in the commercial. Quite funny.

[CaptainJustice]

Its not about offensiveness and obligation, its about respecting the value of a human being.

Of course you didn't! I did. Everyone knows that.

"It depends on how many drinks you have," says Amber Arpaio, 21, "because that changes everything."

Sort of says it all.

I bet her Dad is proud.

Sure, the causes and motivations are the same. Still, every generation must lower the bar. That's the same, too.

[marshmallow]

Remember the old "Strangler's" song?

"She's so neat
what a piece of meat"

That's what your daughters are to a great number of people. A piece of meat. Nothing more.

Sadly there are too many parents who are indifferent to this fact. Even sadder, is their boasting of their indifference.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

That is udderly mad! LOL!

And every enjoyable pastime seriously offends somebody, somewhere. But that doesn't make it wrong.

Pornography is objectively wrong because it violates the Natural Law. By reducing a female human being to the status of a product, it offends against the dignity of the human person. Furthermore, it offends against the natural order of sexual relations: the relationship between husband and wife. By alienating sexual pleasure from the loving and procreative aspects of sexual relations it creates a perversion of those relations. The sin of gluttony comes from the alienation of the sensual pleasure of tasting and consuming food from the nutritive and social aspects of eating; in the same way, the alienation of the sensual pleasure of making love from the reproductive and emotional aspects of the sexual union is sinful (=contrary to the natural order).

Having someone ogle my daughters would bother me, yes. That's because they're 7 and 5 years old.

The primary rule of ethical behavior is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You have admitted that having someone ogle your daughters would bother you. Therefore, it is ethically unsound for you to condone the practice, since every woman is somebody's daughter.

But they won't be children forever: at some point, it will be their call, not mine.

"They won't be children forever: at some point, if they decide to become heroin addicts it will be their call, not mine." If that's the way you truly feel, I pity you.

I rented one of these videos with my friends a few years back (for scientific reasons, of course), and I've got to say that about 20 minutes into the video, you're tired of it. I guess kids will be kids, but I hope these girls understand that once they make it onto video, it's not going away.
