Pornography and the internet

There's not much to debate here except opinions. And my opinion is, I might reduce my porn intake, if the higher beings send me a big tiddy goth.

IMHO, we need more pornography on cable TV, classrooms, workplaces and in public shop windows. At the moment, things are still too conservative, seeing how people mainly keep it to being just a private thing for some irrational reason.
IMax?

Why does Porn have to be more public? sex IS a private thing

Geez. I actually fell for it and went to BibleHub for confirmation (or lack thereof, as it turns out).
Oh. You wrote BibleHub. I mistakenly went to another Hub. Just so you know, it was confirmed at that Hub.

It depends. To what extent do you want conservative values (conservative as it applies to the North American definition of conservative) to reign supreme on this subject?
I know I can not say what others should or should not like, that is not my task in life. But to me, I see no need to see or hear about sexuality in public room, and yes I am maybe super conservative toward this topic. It is a sexual theme all over now, and i do not feel comfortable with it.

I understand. But the cat's halfway out of the bag. If you come visit a grocery store in the United States, or at least in Illinois, expect to see some pornographic images on the cover of magazines. And it leaves the question why we make the special case for public, non-private media, but not ourselves?

Not totally sure what you mean, but i stay away from all form of pornographic topics both on internet and in real life. It just dont have a purpose to me

Yes, many psychologists agree that watching pornagraphy causes many sexual problems, and can cause problems between man and the wife. It needs to be banned.
Well, there ya go. Another member of a religious cult who wants something banned. Perhaps the thing to do is ban religious cults who advocate banning anything.

Would you want to Bible banned due to all the sex and violence or would you prefer just eliminating all the rapes, etc from the Bible and publishing a clean version?

Actually, that is indeed a legit quotation, and the term 'bowels' is indeed used in a number of translations, ALL found on BibleHub: the KJV, the Jubilee, the American KJV, the Douay-Rheims, and the Darby, the Webster, and the Young. The majority use 'heart' instead of 'bowels' though.
Dang. I went to BibleHub and actually missed the bowels versions. Guess I'm getting old. Next time I'll use Ctrl - F.

Please provide evidence for "70% of people who watch rape porn reenact it".

The website I got it from in 2011 is down but I did a 5000+ word report on Playboy magazine in 2012 so I did manage to put down the statistics and where the website got the statistics from. Here are a few from Marshall, 1988:

"Child molesters (87% of girl molesters, 77% of boy molesters) regularly watched hardcore pornography"

"A survey done in 1988 found 86% of rapists regularly watched pornography. 56% [of the rapists] said they imitated favourite porn scenes during their crimes"

Here's one from Cole, 1998:

" An analysis of Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler done between 1954 and 1978 revealed almost 4000 images of children in sexual and violent situations. Hustler's arrival to the industry in 1972 was significant in increasing these numbers"

Here's one worth investigating,

"Rape in America has gone up fivefold since 1960"

according to National Victim Center/ National Coalition for the Protection of Women and Families- US News and World Report, 1997

The reason I say it's worth investigating is I don't know the 1960 and 1997 rape statistics of America. Obviously the higher the population the higher the number of rapes but it seems to me it's rising way quicker than population growth. Either blame porn or blame immigration because that too is linked to crime

The website had more but it's not there anymore. Anyway, you can Google the above quotes with the safe search off


That's a long post with a lot of "statistics". None of which support your allegation that "70% of people who watch rape porn reenact it".

Care to try again? Or would you rather admit that you made it up in a vain attempt to make an unsupportable argument?

Why is it that religious people get unwanted in-your-face-porn when the rest of us have to go looking for it? Do porn manufacturers scan forums like RF looking for religious people to target?
Actually, they do. Statistically, people with a religious, sexually repressive background are more likely to respond to porn ads.

Your response didn't address my comment about targeting.

However, your comment is valid.
