i love porn although there's not a lot of porn that turns me on sexually. (but then again there aren't a lot of people who do, either) in spite of all the negative attention it receives, i truly and honestly believe that it is one of the most sincere and free forms of expression out there today. there are really no limits to how far it can go, there are no strings attached to any porn, nobody ever expects it to be anything more than it is, and a lot of it includes wonderful music in the same vein as the porn itself!
as an art it may be a tad bit...simple, and very little porn is going to be taken seriously as true art. but, it's still expressive in the sincerest way possible. you don't have to make any guesses as to what is going to be in a porn movie. they contain titles like "switch hitters", "fuck this face, then my butt", and my personal favorite "sniff my ass". they're self explanatory and nobody will ever pretend like the movie they're currently watching doesn't contain any ass-sniffing sections.
"real" art is often stilted and unemotional, often attempting to cover a lack of talent in the shroud of self-expression. even when an artist is truly talented he will always have his staunch critics. half the time it isn't even self-explanatory. did you know the painting "nude descending a staircase no. 2" actually looks nothing like a nude descending a staircase? what a travesty! on the other hand, "fuck my fat tits 3" is obviously the third installment of a series of films involving fat tits getting fucked.
see? it's simple, fun, educational, and every once in a while has a little artistic gem in the middle. porn, you're an a+ in my book

Porn's the only kind of movie where you want it to be predictable ("Oh, look, there's a new female character in the film, I bet that guy has sex with her... oh yeah, he just did").
I'd say more culturally related then type related though. There was a time in my life I thought porn was dirty or something. Then I saw through all the bullshit.
I think porns fine. Helps Single guys through many lonley nights. I do think theres an escalation element to it where you need more and more far out stuff to turn you on after a while though. I dont think it makes men look down on women or anything like that.
I went to a strip joint for a bucks night the other night and i thought it was very interesting watching the goings on. I find them a bit dodgy though so i certianlly wont be going again unless its a special occasion. I was there with an INFp and he said when he leaves a strip joint he gets "stripper eyes" and ever girl looks like a stripper for a while after that. The exact same thing happened to me. In fact i couldn't see much difference between how people were acting inside the strip club than outside. Same level of Skankyness

I don't like porn that much. I prefer to use my imagination to masturbate generally, and I see no use for porn except that. I kind of like pornotube though, sometimes I use it if I'm a bit tired to use my imagination.
Oh of course this doesn't mean Im against it at all. They should do what the hell the want.

“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
There are so many different kinds of pornography that it's hard to have one general opinion on it. It's basically a masturbation tool, and I don't really see the problem with it in general, though like anything it can cause problems in various quantities.
I actually prefer erotic art to photography.
.
The only times I ever enjoyed?? a video was while drunk or just super alone and, stuff. Which hasn't been much...not in a looooong time anyway.
So anyways, my opinion is slightly different depending on gender...I'd prefer to NOT have my partner looking at any sort of porn, mainly without me. I'd rather not at all but if I'm with them, wuteverr.
Sometimes I am 503582% disgusted by everything, but I always like artistic pornography, classy and such. Photography can be artistic as well...

porn is ok in my book.
I'm tolerant of "light" porn use in potential partners. Most in the past have been into it to a degree.
Mostly, though, I personally find it titillating, but that's it. Titillation, followed by a feeling of sheer emptiness. I do think that porn can be addictive, like any "taboo" item, and cause strange psychopathology in large amounts. I tend to think that overuse for some can result in a general orientation of "unreality" in real life relationships. I don't see how it can't have negative impact; subtle and insidious. Objectification of women, inability to become aroused unless "primed" by porn...
A strong influence on the weak-minded, I'd say -- like the Jedi mind trick.

Whatever floats your boat. As long as the subjects of porn are willing, of age, and by no means coerced into the porn, then I really have no problem with it.

If I'm single (as if there's ever a time when I'm not) then, as far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with it for personal use, provided of course all participants are adults, human and willing. I don't think it degrades anyone as such - one could claim it degrades the actual participants themselves, but I don't believe it degrades men or women as a whole at all. I don't agree with the use of it if one's in a relationship though, unless it's something both partners enjoy together (as I know there are couples that do).
So.. in summary I'm pretty laid-back on the subject.

My ESI girlfriend hates it. She says it puts women in a lower position, and when accepted by society as a whole, it indicates a low view of women by society. She also makes the argument that all porn is exploitive, and no woman would want to actually participate in being filmed whilst performing sexual acts. Those women that do want to participate have some sexual victimization in their past, and need help.
Lads mags / soft porn is almost as bad as hard core because it is legitimate pornography that is accepted and sold in supermarkets, drug stores, etc.
As for myself, I find it boring boring boring. I want to be creative and have fun in real life. However, I do not ever see myself crusading against porn though.

that is what i was getting at. if there is an inescapable appropriation that is required in the act of understanding, this brings into question the validity of socionics in describing what is real, and hence stubborn contradictions that continue to plague me.
I prefer the more interactive interpersonal alternative.

Meh, I don't believe in right or wrong. I don't see how you can say something is wrong with someone for having a different perspective than yourself.
I see it as wrong for clogging up the internet tubes, but right for everything else.
Have tried watching it and it dosent do anything for me, but im not against it in the slightest.
Personally I think its quite sad that society teaches people to be embarassed, feel shameful, feel bad about sexual desire, gives distorted and conflicting views about sex generally, and the way it supresses open discussion and conditions people to act in a way that is contrary to happiness and well being, by making what is probably the most important thing in life, harder to attain, understand and gain pleasure from. Im talking about relationships as well as just sex here.
I would also say that if these harsh social attitudes and conditions about the way sex is presented to young people were gone, and sex was discussed and thought of in a way no different to some other mundane thing in life, pornography would be only a tiny bit as prevelent as it is today, as it wouldnt be sought after by so many people who are sexually and emotionally (with reguard to relationships) unsatisfied.
As far as I can see, pornography isnt the cause of problems in society and in peoples lives, its a symptom of them.
I personally got a lot of bad teachings with reguards to sex and relationships, in many of the ways described above, and other ways such as being taught to devalue things related to it, like image and relationships. I can honestly say that of all the things in life, that has without a doubt, unequivocally been the most destructive to my happiness and well being. Soz, im going off the suject now

The argument that pornography leads to violence against women has statistical evidence as well. Many rapists as well as pedophiles look at pornography extensively and especially just before committing a crime.
Furthermore, I respect the argument without fully accepting it.

Let's look at it from a little bit different point of view...
Many people do it because they want to make money, not because they want people to see them, they just don't mind people seeing them in that way.
I bet a lot of rapists and paedophiles also eat food at some point prior to committing a crime. I therefore believe that food is evil and causes people to become rapists and paedophiles. BAN FOOD IMMEDIATELY!

Furthermore, I respect the argument without fully accepting it.
But there was one time in my life I believed that statistic that 1/3 of all women get raped at one point in their lives. It was used by my school to scare us all (I think). But then I found out that they used the term "raping" very very loosely (like if a guy ever hollered at a girl for having a "nice ass" and she didn't like it, they considered that "a rape". TOTALLY PATHETIC).
I don't know where you got your %50 number from, but if they are using the words "sexually victimized" like most of these people use it, it's not really that scary or anything, and it's probably not much different from the average.
When you use words like that, most people immediately think, "Wow, so all those girls were forced to have sex with their fathers at 12 years old?" which is not at all what it means. So make sure you say that before you mislead people.
Also, just the fact they are in these pornos wouldn't mean these "victimizations" would increase. If the numbers are higher for porn stars, it wouldn't be surprising since female porn stars are usually more attractive then the average, and more sexually active then the average. Even if they weren't in the pornos, they would still have these traits.
And as someone else pointed out, it was implied that all porno actors must have something wrong with them. Just the fact that they don't mind being seen in that kind of film is, in itself, basis for a "psychologically unhealthy" diagnosis. THAT is what I was originally -->
Pornography is unethical and change is needed in order for people to earn without exploiting themselves. It is exploitation as pornography objectifies necessarily. Not only through voyeurism but through the depiction of women in subordinate positions. Pornography is made by men, for men. If society is to be fair, pornography as it is should not be allowed.
The argument is that watching pornography causes an attitude of objectification, and can be seen in the actions of those who watch pornography. Pornography is one of many objectifications of women, and as one of the most prevalent should be illegal in the name of equality.
Food is a necessity for humanity, pornography is not.

PORNOGRAPHY IS SEX, SO YOU JUST IMPLIED THE ACT OF SEX ITSELF IS UNETHICAL AND UNFAIR TO WOMEN.
Using the term "rape" to describe any type of aggression or violence towards women is an attempt to incite change. These are cultural attitudes that are being fought against, and re-labelling the subordination of women as rape is a technique of cultural "warfare".I might have almost believed that.The argument is based on research of pornstar sexual history and pornstar sexual victimization.

I don't see how one can ethically give pornstars a "psychologically helathy" report card. The studies do suggest that most pornstars are exposed to incest at a young age. It is closed minded to suppose that how one lives their life has no affect on others.

The 1/3 of American women thing is that a third of women in the US are the victims of sexual assault, which includes more than just rape, but not being told you have a nice ass.
Based on the women I know I think the 1/3 number is probably right.

Well I agree with you for what it's worth. If porn were an accurate portrayal of real sex, it wouldn't bother me. But what I've seen (and I'll admit I haven't seen a whole lot) seems to show women as objects to be used by men however they want with no concern for the women at all. I don't mind the idea of people watching sexually explicit things, but I don't like the portrayal of women in porn.
