Does Pornography Harm Children Who View It?

[dilloduck]

Sex crime refers to assaults (violence) directed specificly at parts of the body assiciated with sexual behaviours. They aren't 'sexual acts,' they're simply being directed at the genitals, buttocks, and female breasts.

Wrong----a sex crime does not have to involve assault --educate yourself.

Yes they do.

Mere possession of child pornography is a sex crime.

Pornographic is sooo underrated compared to the real thing.

As far as children? Like sex, we shouldn't shield them from reality, but have a rational discussion with them when the subject comes up.

Agree but look at the backward attitude we see here. People can't even talk rationally here and actually believe that porn causes HIV.

It always amazes me to see how ignorant and afraid of sex people are.

Are you basically saying that you would present porn to a child? That is the topic of the OP and you do seem to be agreeable!!!

If rape was about sex why wouldn't everybody rape somebody? We all like having sex right?

If rape is about violence, then why bother with the rape at all when a punch in the face is far more efficient at expressing the violence?

If rape isn't about sex then why are the targets of rape all women who are in the prime of their sexual attractiveness rather than women who are older, more powerful and in positions to piss people off?

How much societal aggravation do 16 year old girls cause compared to professional harridan feminists?

Rape is about power. Not sex.

Rapists target all sorts of victims of all ages and degrees of "attractiveness". Old women in wheelchairs are raped as well as prepubescent girls.

"Feminism" is a life philosophy, a belief that all people, male and female, are equal. Men can be and are "feminist", just as women can be and are.

Have enjoyed both and I gotta say, no one ever got HIV from porn.

50 Shades of Grey library book tests positive for HERPES and COCAINE | Mail Online

And that proves what?

I've read that most of our paper money tests positive for cocaine. If true, it doesn't mean that we're all using cocaine.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

We know people addicted by porn.

It does not follow that all who look at porn are addicted.

Define addiction. Psychiatry defines alcoholics as anyone who has one drink as being an alcoholic.

I'm not a psychiatrist and you're a religious fanatic.

That means neither of us is qualified to make psychiatric judgments.

Rape is about power AND sex. If no sexual contact is made it is an assault--not a rape.
Rape is forced sex without consent.
I dont' care how many times you try to attempt it you simply can't take the sex out of a sex crime. They call them sex offenders for a reason.

There are so many ignorant misconceptions in this post I don't know where to start.

Do you really think only pretty young women get raped?

Porn is poison; it objectifies the human body, removing any sense of emotional attachment to the act of sex. Sex is not simply a physical exercise; it is a highly stimulative engagement that encompasses deep physical and emotional sensors.

Sex as sport destroys people, and the continued use of pornography as a stimulant dulls the senses, requiring greater and greater heights of debauchery to gain pleasure, and leads to deviant lifestyles and a perverse attitude about perversions. Break down the walls of decency, and nothing is off limits, including the sick notion of porn being good for kids.

You equate a simple question to a "lie?" The phrase "you seem" is a statement of fact? You really are an idiot!

This is what I hate about the phony christians here. They wave their bibles around but have no honesty and no integrity.

Call this one out on a lie and, instead of doing the honorable thing - apologizing for his disgusting post - he resorts to name calling.

I have no idea what your bible stuff is saying and, since I live in the real world, I don't really care.

You're just as lacking in basic honesty and integrity so of course you don't see anything wrong with hinting that I'm a pedophile/child predator.

Why is it that "christians" think that when it comes to basic human decency, they should get a pass? They'll rant and rave about how holier than thou they are and then, in a different thread, they'll call for the death of child refugees.

I am so proud that I'm not one of them.

Why do people believe that sex must always be about "emotional attachment" rather than something to be used to for physical pleasure?

Only an ignorant, indoctrinated fool believes that they "have to love" every person they choose to ****. So many extremely stimulating and exciting sensations can be experienced through sex... and many are more enjoyable when you do not "love" the person you are sexually exploring with.

What is "wrong" with indulging in sex? Nothing.

What is "wrong" with a "deviant" sexual lifestyle? Nothing.

What is "wrong" with "breaking down the walls of decency", and acting as though "nothing is off limits"?

Nothing.

How else can a human expect to truly understand what freedom is?

True freedom is unattainable. But we can take for ourselves what freedoms are possible for us... even if it is frowned upon by society. Even if it is against the law. Even if it is forbidden by religion.

Porn is not "good" for kids and it is not "bad" for them either. Always in black and white it must be for you people.

Use your own judgement. Do what you Will, but be mindful of the potential consequences of your actions.

Oh, and here I thought it'd be some silly pseudoscientific site. Glad to see it's totally reliable,
Brain Chemicals and Porn Addiction: Science Shows How Porn Harms Us

You're entitled to your opinions. I suppose, you're entitled to perpetuate nonsense too. But quackery is easy to refute, as are sites with bad science (like in previous discussions on the subject of 'do homosexuals make good parents?' and people citing 'evidence' they don't from similar religious websites and their sources for their positions which the scientific community have tossed out as invalid science.)

As to this subject, actual science as well as statistical analysis have PROVEN time and time again, that pornography availability LOWERS sexual crimes. Bans of it results in INCREASED sex crimes.

If bans of it results in increased sex crimes then that should tell you that porn is addicting.

Faulty logic. It's more like when people can't enduldge their fantasies via porn and masturbation, they seek the real thing.

In Denmark in the mid 70s full blown child pornography was legal. Once it got banned, sex crimes against children spiked upwards.

What you are teaching yourselves and others is that you can get something for nothing from people. I knew some women who said they couldn't do that to a guy (because there are emotional attachments) from sex.

When you have sex with someone and then meet that person who measures up to be a spouse, what happens if they never measure up sexually to those you messed with? You end up either marrying or not marrying and damaging that person because he or she isn't enough sexually.

Facts don't support your assertions. In countries where sex is acceptable as pleasure, and porn isn't restricted (at least not to the extent it is here in the US,) porn doesn't have negative impacts or consequences. Quite the opposite. It results in people viewing one another as potential friends and lovers, not potential threats.

I study a great deal about the origin of violence and how sexuality plays a role in criminal behaviours. In cultures that celebrate sexuality instead of repressing it (like in the US) there's FAR less violent crime. More a country represses 'feel-good' activities like sex, the more violent they tend to be as evidenced by statistics. In other words, the most sexually liberal nations are also the least violent, whereas the most sexually repressive countries are also the most violent.

Bit of a read, and this is actually the short verion of it, but,
Article: Body Pleasure and the Origins of Violence

Shows how cultures which suppress/repress pleasure whether sexual or innocent physical contact are the most violent, and vice-versa.
