Alright, recently, I read an article in
Bizarre about superheroine erotica. The article wasn't exactly flattering. It basically suggested that the genre's attraction lay in the fact that it showed superheroines like Wonder Woman and Supergirl being raped by horrible monsters. Now this is the area of erotica in which I specialize, and it seems like the porn industry is always getting a bad rep. The anti-porn factions, led by the evil bitch Dr. Reissman, have spent years arguing that porn is psychologically damaging, that it leads to pedophilia, and that Dr. Kinsey's research has led to the degradation of society.
So the question, boys and girls is this: Is pornography truly harmful? Now in answering, one might first use a variation of Goethe's three questions for evaluating art and literature:
1) Why did society create pornography?
2) How does pornography go about fulfilling its purpose?
3) Was it ultimately worthwhile to create pornography?
In consideing these questions, it might be helpful to read this article:

I've read that artical she's so wrong
but in response to your question: *ahem*
Pornography is only damaging if you let it be same with everything else I belive. Society created it because men have a basic like for the female form because it's more attractive then the male form. The more you can see the better it is most of the time.
It gives you exactly what you want the female form and as much of it as you want. Of course you don't just want to see the naked female form you want to see it do things first three thing that come to mind are: move around (dance-like), have sexual intercourse, or sexual intercourse with themselves. All of these show the female form in action which people(mostly men as you know) like.
While some types of pornography are not a normal way of doing things everything has an audience no matter how strange or unintellegent it is, it still serve the purpose of showing the human body to people that what to see it.
Now that may not be the best report on porn but hey it's pretty true and intrellegently wrote so that's your answer from me
I couldn't have said it better myself.
thank you I was trying for a intellengent look on a subject like that unlike the link provided
yeah, think UnknownH told so far....

there's one point women being attractive is a thing of like and its attractive for some people and not attractive by itself, i know its obvouis but sometimes small people get to closed minded if its done this way.
really i wouldn't talk about society creating pornography more than that i would talk about men because women didn't have much influence on big scale desitions like this at that time.
1) the creation of it was made for making money, because they knew that they are some people that can't control there curosity and then get stuck to it.
2) this question i can not answer. the purpose of a concept is the one the person that created this , also at the same time the purpose he atached to the same concept.
if its a societies idea its a mirrage cause all think about it in a different way , a idea should be totaly ok if its accepted by all people, and the ones that don't understand it think its ok that a idea like that exists.
3) for the human race mmm till now i wouldn't know. well the creation of an idea is for it's ultimate result on people and if the effect of it maintains stable for a time being, and if the pornography is still changing and making effect on people i couldn't really say about ultimately worthwhile.
if whats thought to happened next is respected by the people that try to protect human right and those stuff i think is worthwhile or not for some people.
Quote:1) Why did society create pornography?
There was a market for the creation of it.
Quote:2) How does pornography go about fulfilling its purpose?
It has boobies...
Quote:3) Was it ultimately worthwhile to create pornography
It has done nothing bad, and it has made lots of money, so yes.
Some pornography is wrong. Anything that's non-consensual, which includes stuff with animals and kids under ten, I think that could encourage immoral behavior, because rape, by definition, is wrong. Aside from that, pornography is necessary, because some people are just too ugly to ever get laid. It's been proven that masturbation reduces heart attacks, so these people, and everyone else, need an outlet...or stimulation for the outlet. However, pornography can become addictive and wreck your life (also proven), so it should be viewed in moderation.
Quote:A recent report by California Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman revealed that Abstinence Clearinghouse-reviewed programs teach teens that, for instance, genital touching can cause pregnancy and that HIV can be transmitted through tears and sweat.
What the
fuck?! What bullshit is this? gential touching causing pregnancy[b]
MY ASS[/b].
Abstinence only-education is fucking useless, along with half the other shit they teach you in 5th grade. The only thing it tells you is NOT to fuck, which isn't very usefull information when your actually fucking. Seriously, there going to fuck wheather they are told not to, or otherwise. The only thing I have ever learned in sex ed was that you can't piss and ejaculate at the same time. Almost everything else they tell you, at least the first time around, is painfully obvious, or in this day and age, false.
Anyone who tries to tell us that something like, this domain for intsance, is psychologically damaging is highly ignorant, and very possibly on some form of drugs. And saying that erotica causing chemical releases in the brain is a reason for it to be outlawed is crackpot. They are treating it as if its a drug, if the brain does it itself without help of introducing any new substance, it is not a drug.
you know hhvorausgesagt that was very intellegent and it has been proven that you have to teach actual sex ed cause if you going to do it you're going to wear a condom cause no one wants to support some morons kids
and remember that old saying "Don't pay for porn when you can get it free somewhere"
heh heh I wonder if I heard that from somewhere?
