    views on porn?
    Hey everyone. Im not quite sure if this is the right category to put it under, but I need honest answers about what we see on the internet. A couple of weeks ago my friend told me to watch some videos on WEBSITE REMOVED. When I went on there, I was amazed at how disgusting it was. Sure, sex is pleasurable to some, but not everything is as picture perfect as they show on these clips. There are a lot of false beliefs behind porn. Firstly, not all penises are that big. They are so big, that the girls can't fit their mouths around the top part! Secondly, not all breats are that huge! It looks lyk watermelons! And thirdly, sex doesn't have to always be pleasurable to some. These videos show that girls are lead by the guy, that they have to enjoy sex etc etc. Another problem is how they go about securing these images from eyes that are under 18. It says on the bottom 'you can only watch if 18+' what is that going to do to help! Im 15, and I know people my age and 2yrs+ younger than me no exactly what redtube is! That's way younger than 18!

    You don't need to be watching porn, in fact watching too much porn can be adictive and esp at a young age give you totally wrong ideas of what a healthy sex life should be

    Don't think porn it is is that bad aslong its tastefully done, which some are. I also think it's a personal choice and if someone OVER 18 wants to watch well hey go for it, but yes I know what you mean its really unrealistic but hey what you going to do about it, that's our society

    My view on porn is: it is terribly distorted, like a cartoon. You sound like you know better than to believe that those videos are how sex is and how sex should be- but not every 15 year old guy does. I think that to someone who is inexperienced, porn can harm their future sexual relationships. I'm almost 22 years old and I'm a woman, sure I have watched porn before, but really porn is slanted towards men. I don't think that high schoolers should watch it at all- not just because it's graphic- but because whenever the decide to be with a REAL woman it colors their view on sex-
    For the record I used to date a porn addict, it's pretty bad when a guy will pick porn over an attractive young woman.

    I don't think there are very many who are foolish enough to believe that teens don't look at porn on the internet. I'm far less worried about that than I am teens being porn on the internet.

    I hope that pornography is well-regulated, though with the internet who knows where it comes from. As far as whether it's moral? My mother used to say nothing's right or wrong, it's what you do with it. I agree, though I'm not so sure I'd want my money supporting people who may or may not manipulate young men and women into doing things they'd rather not do with little or no compensation.

    I think there should be very tight control on the internet as far as porn is concerned. There is nothing to stop anybody from any age to view whatever they want, but I also believe that it is up to parents of children to keep an eye on their children and not let them have free rain on the internet.

    Pornography you hope is well regulated, it is not regulated at all, but it should be.

    What are your sources on the lack of regulation?

    I don't watch porn. But I do no how it works and stuff. I need your view on what you think about it. If I watched porn I would have said it.

    I know they look at porn on the internet, I saw porn when I was in high school too. Most of my friends were guys, they didn't make it a habit or anything. Legally speaking, they shouldn't, and if they ever want to please a woman in bed they shouldn't base real sex with porn. All porn is, is a visual fantasy.

    Ok- porn is OK sometimes, if you are old enough to watch it. Some couples like watching it together. The problem is, too often it becomes an addiction.. . sorry for the double post.

    Its all right, and I agree with what you are saying. Im just worried that there should be more security. But I guess you can't do anything about it.

    I think that Big breast fixation really strange...
    If you see a girl with 600 ml of silicon in each one would you think it's hot? I bet you're going to laught like hell all day long...

    The problem with porn is that kids may think its for real, we have that enlargement spams to show it.

    Not that I'm an expert in the matter...

    I don't think its bad for people who know that most times it portrays things wrong.

    I watch it and it doesn't affect me. But my brother is totally addicted.

    I think it depends on the person and the type of porn. Some of the porn is really gross.

    And speaking about security, on the site I use if you click "I am under the age of 18" it still takes you too the main page.

    EEEEW, that is sick.
    My son is only 1 yr old and I'm already worried. It seems like kids are having sex at an earlier age than when I was in school. And I'm not that old! Jeebus

    Another thing I think of is why and how the parent lets them. I believe that some people might think that I'm not all there mentally. But I am, and I'm not concerned that some people think that I'm wrong, that porn is something pleasurable. Nd I'm sure it is to some, but it shows false beliefs. Schools are teaching sex ed to grade 4 students! I know it might be subtle, but why can't we let our children live life to the fullest, then worry about what happens to a guy down there. A child has a curious mind. And if an 11 yr old doesn't care, then what will stop a 9 yr old?

    Porn is for adults, and for the life of me, why they haven't exercised the parental controls, to block it from their kids computer, is beyond me.

    That's at the heart of the problem, unsupervised kids!

    A simple answer to that (no offense to parents) is that kids are way better with computers. Even school blockers are easy to get around. My friend's parents have tried that, but its so easy to shut the blocker down and then erase any proof that you ever did it.

    The only way it could be stopped in my opinion is if the sites added more security and maybe for you to somehow prove your over 18

    Thanks Sarge, you are right, as my 7 year old grandson, gets around the net very well, and has to be watched. I watch!
