SOOOO true. Porn is degrading, disturbing, I think it's illegal in some countries, and it's just plain SICK. I mean, for crying out loud, what kind of messed-up pervert wants to look at naked people doing...*shudder* I think porn addiction is real. If you type in the most random thing on Google you get porn. Whoever is putting it on the web is sick. I don't want to be filtering through that trash every time I go on Google. And not just the Internet. There's magazines, books, movies, there's a freaking porn channel for God's sake!
Also, if you're an anime fan, there's hentai, which is anime porn. Also disgusting. It's dirtying the name of anime, and when you go on lots of fansites there's hentai. I was looking for anime mp3's on google, and some of the links to "mp3" sites were to porn sites. There were these pop-ups advertising the sites with pics that made me feel like
ripping my eyes out, plunging them into soapy water, and replacing them. The pop-ups took up the entire screen, you couldn't find the colse X, so you had to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close the nasty things.
And child pornography is a whole different chew toy. It's just WRONG. I can understand perverted adults looking at adult porn, but child? I know there's pedifiles, but seriously...If you saw The Butterfly Effect, there was the guy who did child porn. And isn't it child abuse?
All in all, I think porn is for perverted, sex-crazed sickoes who aren't right in the head and may become rapists or somthing like that. I hope this "addiction source" is someday illegal.
Just a thought here, when I was 13 I didn't even know what porn was, where are your parents? Porn is also a valid alternative for married men, as you'll one day see, the longer you're married the less frequent physical intimacy becomes, and it's either web based, video or magazine porn or another woman you decide which you'd rather have your husband involved with. Like it or not, he'll likely be involved with one of the four if not more.

I think hardcore is where the people are actually doing *things*. Softcore is just nudity. I'm just guessing because I hate porn, so I may not be right.
Just FYI you are correct in your assumptions

I think people are taking this a bit too far. Yes, porn can become addicting, as any pleasureable stimulant can be. And trying to keep it from minors is important. However, no matter how degrading I find it to participate in, provide, or create pornographic materials (with very few exceptions), it isn't going to go anywhere. Besides, when used in moderation, I do find some usefulness in pornography. For example, I would much rather someone gain sexual relief from porn then running off and having sex with some random person simply for the need to release their sexual frustration.
Also, when did hentai come to be seen as so disgusting? True, I have gone on anime art searches and found some pretty disturbing sexual images, but personally I'd rather have pornographic materials done through art rather than the physical degration of a human being into a sexual object. I find that having porn done through art increases the gap between reality and fantasy, which is important for a person to recognize when using porn for their pleasure.
Now, just to clarify: I do not watch, buy, or own any pornographic materials. I merely understand that it is a useless battle to fight, and that porn does have it's uses (as long as it is used in MODERATION).
I don't know you but I like you, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders.
