Is pornography driving men crazy?

Well done Fluffy. You have to draw a line somewhere. Before you know it, they'll be asking for you to take them off.

Well just a case in point just had a browse and that fetish is well catered for

Geez! even a thread on pornography is enlightening in this Forum!!

Just what you’ve been waiting for..............The next big thing..............ethical porn.

Come4.org's FAQ includes the question "Is pornography intrinsically bad?"
Their answer is no, but with the substantial caveat that any argument defending the current state of Internet porn is tenuous at best.

Many people consuming free pornography think that the only risk they may run into is that of being discovered by others. This idea, however, is not just naïve, but also wrong, for the current model of consuming online sexual content has many negative implications for all of us

.

They're referring to people being exploited and business models "subjugat[ing] our sexual imagination to marketing standards." By redirecting revenues to charities and letting a flow of ethical user-uploaded videos shape and drive their new site, though, creators Riccardo Zilli, Marco Annoni, and Daniele Marucci believe they can foster a healthy culture that "reflects the natural plurality of human sexuality."
As Annoni puts it, "The time has come to rethink, critically, the relationship between the Internet and sexuality, in its impact, role, form, and scope."

I think they are reading far too much into it... most men just watch it in an emotionally detached way, have a wank, close the browser and forget about it (or have a catholic, guilt ridden cry). Sin é.

The only damage porn may be doing is giving young lads unrealistically high expectations about sex... (especially their first time) and giving them false impressions of what size the average manhood is.

Couldnt have said it better myself. This whole argument of objectifying people and creating ethical porn is bullshit. Some of the criticism of Fifty Shades of Gray was that it was creating a lot of realistic expectations for some men, as if S &M was something was abnormal (it isnt, there is even a fetish night once a month in Dublin). Porn as logn as it is consenting adults over eighteen whom are involved has no business being regulated by the government.
