Getting Serious About Pornography

The scary thing is that there are plenty of people who agree with her, and there are even more who think that porn represents some kind of worldwide "issue" on a lesser level. There's nothing wrong with porn. There's a lot wrong with how society views sex.
 
It seems to me it's always some old hag, who doesn't look like she can get a blind man who just served a 25-year sentence to screw her, that complains about pron.
 
It's the national review, what do ya expect?

and she didn't have the guts to add her name to this.
 
Imagine an argument so full of Strawmen that it's Epic.

Oh, I'm about to get really serious about Pornography!

Penn and Teller already called the War on Pron bullshit. This lady is late to the party. Hell even my grandparents think we're too puritanical.
 
A 2004 study published in Social Science Quarterly found that Internet users who had had an extramarital affair were 3.18 times more likely to have used online porn than Internet users who had not had an affair.

:hmm:

and this completely doesn't show that the men weren't getting "satisfaction" at home... 🙄

PS. in before correlation doesn't imply causation

C'mon, even when I'm not actively searching for porn online, it throws itself to me! Kinda like girls throwing themselves to Tiger Woods not the other way round.

Hey those 75lbs make a huge difference depending on where they landed. 😀

But yeah if she's old and all that I can see why she's pissed.

Also, didn't read that article at all.

quote:
The findings of the report hit particularly close to home for me. By his own account, my husband of 13 years and high-school sweetheart, was first exposed to pornography around age ten. He viewed it regularly during high school and college — and, although he tried hard to stop, continued to do so throughout the course of our marriage. For the past few years he had taken to sleeping in the basement, distancing himself from me, emotionally and physically. Recently he began to reject my sexual advances outright, claiming he just didn’t “feel love” for me like he used to, and lamenting that he thought of me “more as the mother of our children” than as a sexual partner.


How does this have anything to do with porn? The entire thing is an absurd argument.

Not really. His sexual expectations could have changed because of what he perceived as the way sex was supposed to be. All the porn starlets take it in the arse, have clean shaven snatches, no stretch marks, big silicone boobies, etc, etc. Eventually he may become desensitized to normal sex.

It is like any other thing that produces endorphines or any type of feel good reaction in the body. The guy in the quote may have just as easily been addicted to painkillers and had the same result towards his marriage.

Porn is just the most accessible and why it is perceived as the largest problem.

I can take painkillers after surgery and not get addicted, I can drink and know when to stop... some people can't for whatever reason.

He's been using it since he was ten. His expectations didn't change. She did.

I'd probably hide from her in the basement too.

pron has definitely changed since this lady's husband was 10. dude is probably at least 50. 30 years ago there was no atm.
 
Like or hate porn, there are those that have problems with it. Especially in the military. I've seen marriages dissolve over the virtual "other woman."

Problem is, we can't do a quantum divergent multiverse who-knows-what thing, where we could see multiple parallel realities: One where there was no Internet, or no porn, or something like that, vs this one.
The point of course is, was it directly because of the porn, or because of another underlying psychological or personality issue between them, through which excessive attention to porn merely happened to be its manifestation?
Kind of like cutting off the weed and blaming it for the problem, while its roots are still left in the ground, ignored, and free to keep causing problems.
