Sometimes I think it is. I think it makes people look at people as sex objects instead of people. I don't know, I think society now adays is kind of fucked up in some ways. Not many classy men or classy women left now adays. Do people now adays truly know what love is? Or do people only look for sex, fun, drugs and alcohol?

Pornography is mind corrupting, especially in young minds, if exposed too early in life the effects can be very disrupting in adolescence leading it to become an obsession not a natural instinct ......I believe it was a major error for the government to have allowed such a proliferation of pornographic material all over the internet........and you're correct as it does take (Love) totally out of the equation simply becoming a source for instant gratification same as drugs...

What's your definition of porn? At one time, Henry Miller's books were banned. Penthouse became a sensation when it showed pubic hair. Hustler became a sensation for "spread beaver." Puritan was on some newsstands with hardcore images.

It's been an ever-escalating trip, as it's been with violence. At one time "Psycho" was as horrible as a movie could get. It's been upping the ante ever since..."those kicks just keep gettin' harder to find..."

Has it gone too far? I think so. Kids are way too sophisticated, teenagers are way too jaded, and the media has grown a huge callus when it comes to taste. For instance, the most graphic violence and the most horrible pictures of maimed and deformed people turn up on news websites without even a "caution, images may be disturbing, click if you want to see..."

Maybe it helps in some weird ways. Women are much more likely to perform acts that "nice girls" didn't do (supposedly) in the 50s or even 60's. People are less traumatized if they see violence...more likely to keep their heads and help a victim or call the cops with a useful eye-witness account.

We do live in dehumanizing times. Killers get wrist-slap sentences, and nobody's shocked by sexual predators unless it's a Sandusky doing it to children.

No its not Evil if people dont like it they dont have to watch it noone forces them too and its a mulitmillion £$ industry so I guess not may people think it is.
Attitudes change over the years people that think its Evil are stuck in the 1940s I get that its unrealistic but its like all tv the best shows such as 24 for example are full of violence so are they Evil too?

That's exactly the point. PLAYBOY was on a high shelf at the newsstand. The guy behind the counter was not gonna sell a kid a copy of SCREW. You don't like Henry Miller, nobody is forcing you to buy Henry Miller.

Where it gets a little sticky, is "prurient interest." When you pass the newsstand, should a copy of SCREW be on display, making you see it and think "impure" thoughts? When you walk down the street, should you have to hear obscene rap music or Howard Stern because somebody else's radio is blasting it? If you switch channels and accidentally pause on a channel showing a violent movie...should you have to be traumatized?

So I think there's a certain responsibility for people to keep their love of perversion or violence to themselves. Same way they can keep their cigarette smoke to themselves, and confine nudity to an assigned nude beach. I certainly wouldn't ban SCREW or Howard Stern or violent movies, but it's up to those in the industry to use some common sense. Even "Free Speech" Howard began to come down on idiots who'd call up a news station, pretend to be an eye-witness, and then shout "Baba Booey"

yea but its all do to with freedom if you cant play ur music loud due to the lyrics then thats censoring its impossible to enforce.
Music has changed its just just not rap but all music has changed like in the 1950s-60s elvis and the beatles were making music love songs now most music has sexual content like rihanna n all but dnt forget when elvis came out at 1st he was censored! as for porn mags and movies yes they should be top shelve mags but theres no way of doing it on the internet its up to kids parents then I think but at the end of the day I dont no what its like were u r from but here in Belfast kids drink from about 12-13 they are having sex from about the same age as well so watching it isnt going to make a difference lol

Find it funny people worry about porn corrupting people when sex and nudity is something natural. Our news, movies, tv shows, and games are all super violent but thats ok as long as no one gets "impure" thoughts about doing something natural.

You are right but contradict your self at the same time, yes sex and nudity are some thing natural, but in order for it to remain natural and awaken instinctively it must remain, un-corrupted, pornography corrupts the natural order of things, by disrupting the natural, sexual, awakening process in children and a lot of naive adults as well who think of sex as the fiction they see on the screen not the the beautiful process of a evolving sexual affair...that is why we have way too many sexual deviants in this country, their sexual natures have been irre'versibly depraved..
