Banning illegal porn, your thoughts? (yes, a porn thread)

[Jersey Shortie]

I NEVER attacked you or any one else on here personalty Jersey not like you have done to me here feel better now? got that venom flowing?

 

In all fairness you took the 1st pot shot not me but I would have thought some one with such a superiour intelegence would have realised that go figure!

 

Im not going to feed your ego by argureing with you here thats not my thing I may joke in my own way but im not a crewel spirited person.

 

I unlike you I suspect have nothing to prove I come here to genuinely help others when I can so you win Jersey congrats good on ya lol..

 

I don't think you're cruel. I do think you over-exploited my view to make your point and that it was a personal attack. You insinuated that what was bening said is that people can't think for themselves. And that I've said all porn is evil.

 

Disagree with my points. But don't make posts to the board about what *you* have personally defined as my views when they aren't. I don't think you are not capable of intelligent debate by the way. I'm just saying, arguing against me if you don't agree but don't make personal comments about me by over extending my views.

[SpanksTheMonkey]

I'm not certain certain posters are even reading this thread before commenting. They saw the words "ban" and "porn" and started making unrelated speaches about consitutional rights.

 

.

 

I guess im just sick of seeing you trying to always degrade others point of views just because they may be different to yours!

[Jersey Shortie]

Des is talking of the negative effect of porn on dating and relationships. According to her it "violates constitutional obscenity laws" and then she goes on to say that hardcore porn has a degrading effect on society. That's just a few examples that make no sense if we are just talking of legality of sharing copyright protected content - why then bring out all the negative effects of porn, or is the illegal sharing of porn worse than that of music?

 

No. Des is talking about the U.S. contitutionally upholding laws that prohibit the free and illegal copy right distribution of videos to websites, or such, that are under copy right laws. And how if this material was less available to young people, not adults because adults could purchase it legally and enjoy it by themselves, that it might have a more positive affect on culture. What parents want their children to see internet porn at 9,10, 11, 12..ect etc etc..boys or girls? Currently, it's very easy for internet savy kids to be intouch with the world too quickly. And too many parents both work, and are so busy with homework and house chores that things slip by parents.

 

The degrading of society was commentary and an opinion made and supported by credible professionals during the briefing. Des agreed with that portion of the briefing. I agree. I think most people would agree that society isn't better off for porn and I think many do see it as degrading even while they might enjoy it and support it.

 

Des, if I said something that misrepresented your view, let us know.

 

At the very least both of you are unaware of what hardcore porn means. To make it easy for you: Hardcore = explicit sexual acts, Softcore = nudity. Not all hardcore porn exhibits degradation of women, unless you consider the act of sex that.

 

Hardcore pornography has seen an increase in demand as well as quality or level since the boon of the internet. Yes, not all "hardcore" porn means the woman is being smacked or gagged. But considering how the business has grown, and the demand to see more visually shocking stimulation, I would still safely bet that more men are interested in seeing "hardcore" images of women taken roughly, then softcore images of just a woman's body. Infact, I've heard a number of men say that a picture of a naked woman's body isn't enough to arouse them anymore. That is a case of the demand for more raw visuals being needed to achieve the same pay off. Orgasm.

 

"Illegal porn is where you can type a few sexual words into Google, and find a website full of porn videos to watch for free." is what the OP said, that's why I argued that that isn't the case. Many of the porn quickly accessible through search engines is not under any copy protection.

 

I would be curious how many movies are uploaded illegally under copy right laws compared to ones that are under no copy right protection. And not nitch websites that are geared to people who can upload personal movies for other's pleasure.

 

 

And what does that suggest to you about human nature? We tend to keep our thoughts society wouldn't accept hidden. They all come out on the internet because of it's anonymity. The reason you didn't hear about these things spoken before the birth of the internet, was because talking about them would have been a social suicide.

 

Actually, it tells me because society's over exposure to degrading material, we become more comfortable with it. With talking about it, viewing it, and even participating in it ourselves. That's what I would define as social suicide. But not the sucide of an indivdual's acceptance into society, but the mass social suicide of the status que and the dumbing down of society.

 

And you are right about the anonomous part. That's what makes it so dangerous. Anyone can hop online completely anonomously and seek out imagery with no social reprocussions. This is not a breeding ground for healthy behavior that will make society strong.

 

These things might have been around for a long long time, but we were not as exposed to them. The over exposure creates hot-spots for it to grow. And call me crazy but attitude towards women in porn are not healthy, beneficial to men or women or are going to help in the succes of society.

 

Are you saying there is something wrong with hardcore porn? Hardcore porn itself does not mean the woman gets spat on - it just means that an actual sex act has been filmed.

 

In general, I consider porn a useless consuming "habbit" that has affected society negativily. It's even a hobby for many. And if you think that's a strange word to use, it's not. Hobby is defined: An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure. People have made porn a hobby.It's not a need. It's not like having to use the bathroom. While I understand why people are turned on by porn, while i understand that not all "hardcore" porn spits on women, I also understand that hardcore porn as become alot more hard and core for many men and women due to the over exposure we've experienced with the advent of the interent.

 

And while men try to defend porn by saying "it's just fantasy", what does it say about these men that even while treating women with respect at face value in public, they desire and like to see women smacked about and gagged and basically abused for their pleasure?

 

 

The point is that both genders can get equal kicks out of the act, and why should this aspect of sex be banned from public media. Do you think you or anyone else is in the position to arbitrarily pick where the line goes between acceptable and unacceptable porn.

 

Nope. And I never advocated or agree with the idea that porn should be banned. I do think that illegal porn should be. And I do think it's important to talk about these things and not just shrug our shoulders as say "oh well, that's what men like". Personally, I think there is a scale of what people would deam degrading. And most of us would fall in the middle and agree that certain acts are degrading.

 

Overall I think your post is pretty funny.

 

No you don't. Your posts above prove that.

[Des]

You can't stop people from viewing porn on the internet unless you establish a country wide "firewall" which filters data received inside US from servers outside it. This creates plenty of problems like websites that have nothing to do with porn becoming unaccessible. Also data transfer speeds will drop by 10-20%, in other words your internet will become slower.

 

Also, where would you stop with the censorship. Many rap lyrics and videos degrade women more than your average non-fetish porno. What about violent movies and video games?

 

Well, as Jersey pointed out, you misinterpreted what I'm saying here. It's not about censorship. It isn't about cracking down on content, it's cracking down on it for being available in the form that it is. Free and distributed to the public by those who do not have rightful ownership.

 

Btw, your argument is really confused - why do you keep mixing piracy with internet porn with porn distribution with illegal porn with free porn with porn that's illegal on the internet but not in another form of media. I mean, what is going on here?

 

Well, I am for a universal solution to this. But given the nature and content of contemporary porn, I see the issue of the free porn as being specifically harmful. Not only to minors, but to the general public. A lot less people would ever actually see this stuff, if they had to pay for it and give out their personal information in exchange for it. And a whole heck of a lot less minors would be exposed to it, influenced or affect by it.

 

Illegal porn is already illegal, sharing a porn movie you don't own the rights to is just as illegal as doing the same with music. Did you realize that many of the streamed porn is made by amateurs or is promo material for a full length porn film, and isn't under any copy protection. Also Jersey, Porn might be a multi-billion dollar industry, but child porn most certainly is not.

 

Tons of illegal stuff goes on on the Internet, and nothing is done about it. No, as a matter of fact in my experience most of it isn't "amateur" content, or anything promotional. You can find any almost any porn out there, and watch it on these sites. The porn industry is even upset about the current situation.

[SpanksTheMonkey]

as some one else said earlier allot of the so called "free" porn on line is in fact amateur porn or very short previews of longer length films that you can then go to the site and pay to see.

 

So were is this illegal free porn then? the only illegal porn I can think of is of course child porn and any one who watches that needs to be castrated anyways!

[A O]

Don't feel the need to comment? Well, I was almost sure you'd be more for this than any sort of down talking a porn in a general sense.

Well, illegal downloading doesn't interest me. Likewise illegal porn. And as for porn and how it affects children and society at large, well, as has been mentioned - parenting is key here.

 

Always asking me where my solution is, well, here it is.

It comes across as yet another dig at porn dressed up as a solution to me. Still, its a far better angle to present than the usual -- vilification of men, victimization of women and painting of women as brainless, spineless underlings who need protecting from themselves -- type arguments that we get around here.

Who is it a *dig* at porn? It's funny to me that people will defend porn on the premise of having to *respect* porn, something porn doesn't even do for women or men! It's okay to *dig* at women through porn. Call them four letter names and watch them gag uncomfortably on a penis for a man's pleasure, but dare say anything negative about porn and all the sudden, someone is going to defend it.

 

Still, its a far better angle to present than the usual -- vilification of men, victimization of women and painting of women as brainless, spineless underlings who need protecting from themselves -- type arguments that we get around here.

 

Again, the irony is that *now* you're concerned with how women are painted. In porn, women are painted all kind of ways, and having "intelligence" isn't one of them. Infact, porn reflects women as underlings, but that's okay right? As long as women are represented as being brainless, vapid, shallow, happy and eager in porn, that's okay. But have people that don't see many positives in porn, and call out on it, and all the sudden you want to paint *that* as women crying "vicitimization" or now your concerned with women being projected as brainless. Bullcrap. Being honest about the industry and how it depicts women and how women infact do get treated isn't playing "vicitim". It's an honest account about the industry.

It would only come off as a dig to someone who felt, in the least, threatened by the idea that free porn taken away. If you don't think this is a solution, then you simply don't care to rid society of something that doesn't necessarily have to be there, that has a very high potential to negatively affect. If you don't see this possibilty as a very good thing for our youth and future generations, then I sincerely doubt your concern at all. What we are talking here is the difference between rauch porn at the finger tips of anyone, and porn being well guarded, with limited access to anyone not willing to pay for it.

 

It's no surprise to see you still don't understand the reality of consent when it comes to porn. That's fine, believe what you want to. I'll take the word of those who've been through it. If anyone has the right to say they were stupid, naive, too young and taken advantage of, I would say it would be them... and they often do in retrospect. But that's for another discussion.

The whole premise is simply piggy-backing on illegal downloading as a means to comment on or control porn. Not a bad idea in of itself, but hey, if one's going to make moral judgments as well as present facts or information, as they see it, then yeah - its yet another dig.

 

Again, the irony is that *now* you're concerned with how women are painted.

Your issues towards men and porn are one thing. Your selective memory, if not outright lying towards my behavior is simply unneeded and just makes you look like an ass.

This is not a solution. Riding society of illegal downloading - I can't see any harm in that.

Three different things to understand here. Two of them are law, the other is theory, supported by extensive study mind you. I feel convinced through much reading, studies, and real world experience that porn is in many ways harmful. I think the evidence is there, I think common sense tells you a few things. It's fine if you want to say that's just my opinion. Most don't even bother thinking about the subject, and that's what bothers me. Most brush it off immediately, and it's a very uncool opinion to have. As Dr. Gail Dines often says, these dyas to state that one is anti-porn is to get slapped with the label "anti-sex".

 

But ultimately, the battle is not about how I feel about modern pornography, it's about the epidemic of it's use and the illegal means through which it is provided and distributed across the Internet. One that I am wise to, and that's what is being referred to as illegal porn.

 

 

At the very least both of you are unaware of what hardcore porn means. To make it easy for you: Hardcore = explicit sexual acts, Softcore = nudity. Not all hardcore porn exhibits degradation of women, unless you consider the act of sex that.

 

At the very least, to say that the bulk of modern hardcore pornography isn't of a demeaning, abusive, or violent nature in one respect or another shows ignorance to the reality of today's porn industry. The pornographers not only admit to it (many director interviews), studies also show 90% of the top purchased pornography contains a depiction of at least one verbally or physically abusive act.

 

"Illegal porn is where you can type a few sexual words into Google, and find a website full of porn videos to watch for free." is what the OP said, that's why I argued that that isn't the case. Many of the porn quickly accessible through search engines is not under any copy protection.

 

This makes me think maybe you don't know what I'm talking about. I really don't want to reference one of these many sites, which, through my own research using Internet traffic reports, indicate millions are viewing on a monthly basis, increasing. But these are not provided by the publishers, they are not in affiliation with them, they are not samples provided by porn websites.

 

And what does that suggest to you about human nature? We tend to keep our thoughts society wouldn't accept hidden. They all come out on the internet because of it's anonymity. The reason you didn't hear about these things spoken before the birth of the internet, was because talking about them would have been a social suicide.

 

I doubt millions of young men thought beating up and degrading women was sexy before Internet porn. The kind of depictions you see in porn today, nearly did not exist in porn of decades past. Now it's not uncommon to see strangling, slapping, verbal abuse, and general treatment of women like sexual objects that seem to love abuse. This doesn't shock anyone anymore. Most just think it's fine, it's all good because "she consented" and "some people are into that". They're into it, because they saw it in porn.

 

 

The point is that both genders can get equal kicks out of the act, and why should this aspect of sex be banned from public media. Do you think you or anyone else is in the position to arbitrarily pick where the line goes between acceptable and unacceptable porn.

 

But really, this discussion isn't about this.

[fishtaco]

What happened to Dungeons and Dragons? Everyone forgot about that? Remember? If your kids play Dungeons and Dragons, it will mentally scar them and turn them into godless gay murder machines? What about heavy metal music? Remember all those professional experts said that by recording something backwards, you can subliminally suggest someone to axe their parents? Why are we not outraged by these things anymore? Why don't we record "do your homework", "clean your room", and "listen to your parents" backwards and play that to our children?

 

History repeats itself. Once in awhile, people need to feel outraged about something. It makes them feel like they're contributing something. Back in the 70's, maybe 60's, it was the table top nerdy game like Dungeons and Dragons. Now-a-days it's virtually a chastity belt. It keeps your kids out of trouble. But back then, the darkest of evils mankind has to offer. D&D hasn't changed, but the people that are outraged by it have somehow magically moved on.

 

Same with heavy metal. Why is that no longer the scourge of society, and the downfall of civilization?

 

Looks like the porn is the new black. Fight on. In 20 years, porn will still be around, but the "warriors of righteousness" would have forgotten this outdated enemy that somehow became unimportant, and wage their crusade against whatever that's new and exciting.

To quote the Hangover here "it's not illegal, it's frowned upon, like masturbating in an airplane." "I'm pretty sure that's illegal too." "Yeah after 9/11 when everyone got so sensitive.Thanks a lot Bin Laden."

 

 

Ooh freebies! Gotta love it when the internet gives you things for free. I have very little of value to contribute to this discussion...because I really don't see the value of yet another porn thread dressed up as something else. The majority of people who watch porn do not pay for it (I think) big deal. I can think of far more important issues in the world at the moment.

 

I'm sorry to say it, but (wow I thought I had little other than mockery to add here) this thread seems to be rather like agree with me, or I will just say you're misunderstanding.

Do you not understand I'm talking about the same thing!? Porn isn't free. People don't give away their work just because we're living in the digital age. Most everything media that you can obtain through the Internet is stolen, if it's in digital form.

 

This is not a solution. Riding society of illegal downloading - I can't see any harm in that.

 

It's not a solution to keeping it out of the hands of minors or society at large? I think it's a guarantee of returning to the age when Internet porn was not free, rampant, and only a Google search away.

Refer your above post about me being a "party pooper", and how you "know most people do not pay for porn". Obviously, you do see. That's the porn America's youth is fat on, and through illegal means.

 

To use your logic - I'm sure you can think of several other issues that you perceive as important. But why should anyone care about those issues again?

 

Bottom line, if you don't see how this is important, you've probably never actually looked into it... and since you love freebies, I doubt you want to.

Yes, AO, there are aspects of porn that should infact be controlled! What's wrong with that? The topic wasn't about the banning of pornography all together. It was about law against illegal downloads and having certain barriers that don't make it so easy for children to see it. Again, what is so bad about that? If adults want to watch porn, fine. Pay for it. What's the issue? You can not deny that more kids are seeing porn because of the easy access on the internet. Subsequent opinions and data supported by credible sources on the briefing deteremined that porn does have certain negative affects. I think it's even worse for boys and girls that haven't even fully developed but might very well gown-up thinking it's normal to have breasts that stand up like beach balls on a woman's chest or that women love it when you spit on them and make them gag. Infact, there was a thread on here where 20s men expressed digust and surprise that a woman of 20 could have breasts that were perfectly round and firm.

 

It's funny to me that people will defend porn on the premise of having to *respect* porn, something porn doesn't even do for women or men! It's okay to *dig* at women through porn. Call them four letter names and watch them gag uncomfortably on a penis for a man's pleasure, but dare say anything negative about porn and all the sudden, someone is going to defend it and make comments about *digs* at porn where they aren't concerned about the many *digs* porn makes towards women.

 

 

 

Your issues towards men and porn are one thing. Your selective memory, if not outright lying towards my behavior is simply unneeded and just makes you look like an ass.

 

Cop out. Where did I lie about your behavior? You are quick to be concerned about women being viewed as brainless for talking about the negative aspects of porn. Funny how unconcered you are about how women are represented as brainless, vapid and empty in porn. Devoid of any real female feeling except the desire to spread her legs. The irony. Porn reflects women as the underlings you are so concered about.

[Des]

Well, your definition of free or illegal porn is so wide that you may as well come out and say it - you want porn banned period!

 

Ridiculous as usual. I think the definition is limited to the facts. Free porn flooding the Internet is mostly of the illegal kind.

 

Other than that, I and most folk are technologically savvy enough to understand what free porn is and what illegal downloading (of porn or copyrighted material) is.

 

Do you? Did you know - There are tons of websites out there with illegally uploaded porn that is streamed, meaning you don't download it, it's just to watch. That's the question of the hour. Do a Google search for "free porn", the first result you get, that site is made up of illegally pirated content, it is a user based website. How easy was that?

 

Well, at least the charade is gone. Yet another anti-porn endeavor, this all is, basically.

 

What charade? There never was a charade. I'm not denying this is an effort to keep porn at bay, but so what? Are you not in agreement that this could be a good thing, or that it's something that should be done anyway?

If all you can do is complain that it's another porn thread, then please, don't comment. This is a serious thread and I thought since there is such an amount of healthy discussion on the subject here (and often proves itself to be a significant problem in dating and relationships), it would be interesting to get some people thinking about this. To get some impressions, or thoughts.

 

Just a few days ago, there was a formal briefing held at the U.S. Capital Hill regarding Internet porn, and how it violates constitutional obscenity laws in it's current fashion, violates copyright laws, the nature of this hardcore porn and how it is degrading society. As told by many credible and knowledgeable professionals.

 

I've been on to this idea for quite a while myself, that the war to taking back society and culture, to fight porn, is to fight "illegal" porn. What is illegal porn? Illegal porn is where you can type a few sexual words into Google, and find a website full of porn videos to watch for free. Tons of free porn posted by people who ripped/stole/downloaded it and re-uploaded it to the free "streaming" sites. It's illegal in the sense that it violates copyright laws, and violates US obscenity laws. It's basically distribution of obscene material to the public. I hate it the most, in the way it's eroding our culture and society, but I'm also against theft.

 

If you are at all Internet savvy or aware of the current state of modern pornography, you know that about 90% of young adult and minor viewer-ship of porn on the Internet, is through these illegal means. You know that the bulk of this content now produced by the porn industry, is mostly of an abusive, violent, or degrading nature towards women, and that much of this content is free on the Internet. With a study that showed at least 90% of actual purchased pornography, contained at least one instance of verbal or physical aggression or abuse towards the female. Imagine what a statistic would show on the free-for-all of illegal porn available on the Internet. I think the facts often speak for themselves when these videos are invariably "rated" in a positive manner by users of these websites, via the rating system they provide on these website themselves.

 

I feel that the US law upholding it's ban on obscenity and copyright laws, would put a much needed end to the erosion of our society in regards to porn and porn culture... I believe porn culture is synonymous with this late "free" distribution of porn. There is nothing wrong in saying we're not entitled to something that does not rightfully belong to us. And in doing so, it would set us back to the era of 1980s and 1990s with regards to porn distribution, which I feel, would work wonders for future generations. To re-enter a state where minors and young adults aren't peddled and bombarded with free porn, and porn of a violent and degrading nature no less. Back to the era of buying physical media or an otherwise pirate proof digital format, in a non-anonymous fashion. I feel this would rid so much of our current problem, if it were effectively enforced by law.

 

I really hope that something is done, that action is taken.

 

How would you feel if something were actually done about it? I'm curious to see what the men and women LS think.
