Pornography.

[Rowan]

I was thinking about putting this in ID, but wasnt sure if it would belong there. Feel free to move it if you think.

Who think pornography is degrading? Who watches pornography? Do you think that adult actors have lack of morals? Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry? Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite? Are you ashamed to admit to watching it? Are you in a relationship and continue to watch porn? How often do you watch it? Do you think the porn industry should be abolished? Do you know anyone that works in the industry?

Keep in mind that as with previous threads of mine, you dont need to answer every question.

[Josh_R]

Who watches pornography?

I haven't watched to much porn lately haha, but a few years ago I used to watch quite a bit of it.


Whos your favorite actress/actor?

Eva Angelina, back before she got her giant fake titties.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

Hell no i'm not ashamed. Porn is porn man. Doesn't bother me at all to admit to it.

Are you in a relationship and continue to watch porn?

I had a girlfriend a few years ago that would insist that we watch porn before having sex. Guess it put her in the mood for it, idk.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?

I definitely do not think that it should be abolished.

[Mystyrion]

Who think pornography is degrading?

Not entirely. I believe it can be if it becomes a obsession.

Who watches pornography?

I do, very very seldomly. Maybe like once every 3 months.

Do you think that adult actors have lack of morals?

No, Gotta do what you're good at right? If you happen to have a rockin' body and have a very active sex live why not. I personally view Sex as something left for someone you love, but that doesn't mean everyone does. I don't turn it away just because that not how i am. I respect their views.

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry?

Trust. Its what every relationship should be built off of. That being said i don't think i could date a porn star. Its got to take a very willing, free minded significant other to be okay with the others profession.

Whos your favorite actress/actor?

Lexi Belle, Hayden Winters, & Apneatic

Why are they your favorite?

SPOILER!!:

Lexi's ***** and Ass are as close as to perfect as I will probably see.

Though I'm not a fan of a lot of her "hardcore" videos.
Hayden Winters video seem really sensual and gives you the idea of that its just two people having amazing sex as opposed to watching a porno. She is top notch at what she does. Apnea isn't the typical porn. I don't even know if she has any videos, but she takes the female body as a piece of art. Its obviously controversial art, but she does a fantastic job. Its not so much a turn on as its like Wow this picture is actually worth a 1000 words.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

No, most people see it at least once in their life, some watch it on the regular, and other obsess about it. I can only count on one hand how many friends don't watch porn on one hand.

Are you in a relationship and continue to watch porn?

I am not currently in a relationship, but the times that i have been i have not participated in watching.

How often do you watch it?

Once every couple of months, maybe a couple times the week that i actually do watch it

[che]

I've watched a shitload of porn. I dunno whether I don't have morals, or they don't, or both . It doesn't matter to me. I don't judge people by what they choose to do sexually or for money (as long as it doesn't harm anyone). I'd say most stars are pretty stupid, though I'd call myself arrogant for thinking that. I've seen a couple interviews and documentaries on a few of them to back that up though.

In my time watching porn I've learned a lot of things. I was caught by my parents when I was like 16, I believe; they checked the cookies. Then my mom proceeded to read off every single name to the cookies on the temporary internet files. Fawk that was awkward. I thought history was the only HISTORY I needed to delete. I remember being like "Okay, mom, stop saying 'hot schoolgirl sluts', etc".

The majority of porn stars aren't really all that attractive. Some have really nice bodies. At first I thought that's how people really had sex, until I had it. Then that changed my view about it. They really are performers. They are acting. I think they do this because your fantasies when masturbating (who watches porn without masturbating?) are quite different from the things you want sexually and emotionally, etc irl.

When I was in a relationship, I watched it with my significant other. The shit I would watch alone was quite different than the shit I would watch with her, and we'd eventually get bored/fed up of the selection and just **** each other. It was like sex--->porn downtime--->sex. Not enough passionate, "real", porn. This is why amateur porn is the best. The fact that someone has real emotions and feelings and is into the other person is way better than watching Jenna Jameson take on 7 cocks. Usually.

I can see how people can be married and be in the industry. I can see some stars getting divorced over that fact (though I'm sure there are much larger issues here than being a pornstar), though I can see some marriages lasting as well. My thing is, say I have a girlfriend who is a pornstar. She goes to work, ****s 4 guys, comes home. We have sexytime. Even though those dudes may get tested regularly, I dunno who those 4 dudes have ****ed in their private life recently, so she could be bringing home a little STD present for me any day of the week. That's not legit. Though I dunno how often porn is filmed/if you MUST get tested DIRECTLY before a shoot, etc.

Anyway, I'm drunk now. Happy friday.

[Xanatos]

Who think pornography is degrading?

Depends on types of pornography if you ask me. There are some categories that break the line of being "tasteful", movies where I ask myself "how can any girl in her right mind go through this".

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry?

It all falls down are they ok with it. I can see some people who would brag with having a major pornstar as a wife/husband.

Who watches pornography?

I've seen my fair share of pornography, still do actually. There was this dark period of time when I was pretty much obsessed with it, kinda glad that's over with.

Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite?

Velicity Von and Sophie Dee. I find both to be highly attractive, despite some "parts" being obviously fake. Also, I don't really like girls who are pretty much bare bones.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

It all depends who I have to admit to, naturally.

Are you in a relationship and continue to watch porn?

Last time I was in relationship, yes, I watched porn from time to time. I didn't see anything wrong with it back then nor would I now, unless it had negative influence on my relationship.

How often do you watch it?

Not nearly often as I used to. Now I'm ok if I see one clip per week, there are times of course when I'm in the mood to see it more often.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?

Well, it legal, and it doesn't really harm anyone, this can be debated though, so nope.

[Clint]

Who think pornography is degrading?

I do. The women in porn behave like sluts, and the men in porn treat women like sluts. That's the definition of degrading.

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry?

Yes, since doing pornography with anybody other then who you're married to blatantly goes against the vows of marriage.

Who watches pornography?

Perverts and sex addicts, probably.

Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite?

No actor or actress in porn has any acting ability whatsoever. I have acting ability, but I have enough self respect and self control to not have sex on set.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

I don't watch it. I've seen it before, but it's quite pathetic, so I avoid it.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?

Yes I do. It's an industry which promotes unhealthy sexual habits such as casual sex and the spread of venereal disease and STD's. It teaches women to be whores and men to treat all women like whores. Anybody who works for the porn industry is a pathetic loser who should be arrested for perversion and fornication.

[RagnaToad]

Not enough passionate, "real", porn. This is why amateur porn is the best. The fact that someone has real emotions and feelings and is into the other person is way better than watching Jenna Jameson take on 7 cocks.

This.

[Pete]

I don't think that porn itself is degrading. For many, it's just a job, or something that the actors consider themselves good at. Sure, the actors and actresses may feel degraded, especially after taking a load from a transvestite midget, but I think anyone would.

I think that most people watch porn, for whatever reason. Some might watch to get an idea of what they think sex is or should be, or for other ideas or positions, or even to figure out what turns them on. Hint: Redheads, but not gingers.

The morality aspect of it is really a matter of perspective. Personally, I only have a problem with it when you can tell that the girls know that they're being degraded, and you can see their mascara tears running down their cheeks. That kinda kills a boner.

Personally, I couldn't be married to a pornstar, but if you're cool with it and you guys can have a relationship based on love and trust, then I suppose anything's possible. I would probably be disillusioned by the sex though, and kind of upset if she was some kind of anal queen and only did stuff like that on camera.

Gianna Michaels is one of my favorites. Shes got bounce in all the right places, and she's dirty in a hot way.

I'm not ashamed of it, I think it's a healthy release and a good way to fall asleep. I've also never gotten caught whacking it, but one time, back when vcr's existed, I accidentally hit record and when my dad wanted to watch something he had taped, he saw a lot of flashing back and forth to one of those softcore HBO shows... I was like 12!

My gf likes to watch that softcore skinemax stuff with me every now and then. It's a nice little lead in and interlude between uh, sessions.

I watch it a few times a week. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't feel like letting my imagination work.

It shouldn't be abolished, so long as there are the standards and health screening that they have for the "talent". Keep it clean and keep it safe for all of the actors and it shouldn't be an issue. Morally? If you don't like it, don't look.

I don't know anyone per se, who's done porn, but one of my friends from college had a girl from his high school do some work. It wasn't anything major, just one of those free splash pages, but it was confirmed with her picture in his yearbook.

[ultima_trev]

Who thinks pornography is degrading?

No one. If they say otherwise, they are in denial. Being in da pr0nz is in fact the opposite of degrading, it is the greatest honor a human can hope to receive! Those who get paid to get laid are gods and we should bow down to them!

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry?

HELL YEAH!! NYMPHOMANIACS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who watches pornography?

EVERYONE. If someone says otherwise, THEY ARE LYING.

Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite?

Does softcore count? I'd have to say either Kitty Lee (the one in Playboy's Badass, not the pornstar) or Tila Tequila. Hardcore wise, probably Asa Akira. Obviously I am hit hard with the Azn Persuasion.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

HELL NO.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?

NEVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!111!!!!!! !!!eleven

[Unknown Entity]

Who think pornography is degrading?
That's a yes and no for me. As a woman, I think women have the rights to do what they want with their bodies, and if that means acting like a filthy slut in a dirty movie, then by all means, go for it. But respect wise, I think porn has drained it from women who don't wish to be seen or treated as such. I feel for all the women who demanded for equal rights for the future generations of women, just to have their daughters achieve orgasm in HD for the whole world to watch.

I think amateur porn is way less degrading, for the same reasons che stated.

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry? Marriage has changed in the last century, and no longer holds the same values it once did. Hell, has marriage ever had value? Henry VIII beheaded his wives if they didn't give him a son.

Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite?
I don't have a favourite, and I'd hardly class them as actors and actresses. It's all fake, and terrible acting.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?
Depends. I'm pretty sure everyone watches porn at some point in their lifetime, but it's not like everyone shouts about it either.

Are you in a relationship and continue to watch porn?
Sure I do, and my partner doesn't mind. My boyfriend still watches porn, and I don't have a problem with it. It's more of a curiosity factor with the both of us, and what we both like and don't like.

How often do you watch it?
When I was unemployed... anything from three to five days a week. Since I've had a job, sometimes not even once, with twice the max a week.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?
Some porn, yes. I'd like to live in a world with no child porn. Fake, bad acting stuff too, but child porn first.

[Maridia]

Everyone knows they made a Seinfeld porno parody right?

just youtube the trailer, thank me later.

[Alpha]

Honestly, I very rarely use porn. Not for any moral reason; it just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I have a bad imagination, but watching other people get off doesn't help me do the same.

Of course I've tried, and I probably use it like once every two or three months... Maybe even four. My girlfriend doesn't use it either.

I think if it's degrading, then amateur is far less degrading, as it at least holds some kind of meaning for those involved. Probably.

Also I'm getting an ad for 'Cougar Life'.

[Crescent]

I think porn is very degrading. I don't understand why girls would do that sort of job. Is money/fame worth that I don't understand.. Ive only had two bfs and don't plan to have any more cause having sex puts me off. I foresee myself being the cat lady from the Simpsons. I understand it for guys though. My exes tried to get me to watch it and I feel so dirty afterwards but I never said anything. When my first bf showed me a video i quickly turned away and blocked my ears. My personality is quite animated but deep down I get embarrassed. But I can handle girls making out! I really like it for some reason even though Im attracted to guys..

[Cereal~Killer]

I guess it is kind of degrading to the people who participate. Being a prostitute is not a good thing in pretty much anybody's eyes, right? Pornstars are basically professional prostitutes. Although, there are levels of degrading-ness... If a chick is having one-on-one with another chick or something, I don't think that's nearly as degrading as those chicks that willingly get gang-banged by 2 or more guys. What their parents must think when they see/hear about that...

On the other hand, I enjoy watching. Preferably girl on girl. I watch probably every day, not for a long time or anything, though. Just long enough to complete the task at hand... Hehe. I wouldn't say I have a favorite actress exactly, but I do like Capri Anderson and Celeste Star. Gorgeous ladies.

[squall69]

i fell asleep watching it once

[Halie]

Who think pornography is degrading?

Well the only porn I've ever watched was a video on Porn hub about a fat, ugly old man who tied up a very pretty young girl to her bed. Then he made another pretty girl pee in the the first girl's foofoo. Then the first girl peed it back out. It was weird. So if that's what porn is, then yes, I think it's degrading. And also extremely disgusting, I don't understand how anyone could get off to that. But each to their own, I suppose.

Can you fathom how they can be married yet continue to perform in the porn industry?

I don't see the point in marrying a person who has sex with other people for a living, but everyone has different values. In my eyes, when I find my husband he'll be only mine to fondle with (teehee), I wouldn't want to be with someone who has sex with other people all the time even if it is just a job. I'd just end up becoming a jealous, miserable wreck and that's not the type of wife I'd like to be to honest. So no porn stars for Halie.

Who watches pornography?

The majority of the world's population, I suspect. And I don't judge them for it either, just because it's not something I like doesn't mean other people shouldn't. If it makes people happy (literally) then there's nothing wrong with that. Though I must say I find a guy who doesn't watch porn much more attractive than one who does, I just have much more respect for them and I admire them. I don't know why, because I don't think there's anything wrong with liking porn, I just find it to be sexy if they don't.

Whos your favorite actress/actor? Why are they your favorite?

I don't watch it and I don't really know any names either.

Are you ashamed to admit to watching it?

I don't watch iitttt.

Do you think the porn industry should be abolished?

Not really, most people like it so I say that's okay. However, I think it would be brilliant if in about a decade technology became so advanced that animation could be made to look extremely realistic so you couldn't tell whether they're real people or fake. This way porn could be simulated through animation and people wouldn't have to act in pornos. I know there is animated porn already but a lot of people can't get off to it because they know it isn't real. But yeah, I just feel really bad for the people who act in porns because I think it is really degrading. Even if they enjoy their jobs, that still makes me feel sad. I just can't help but think "what would your mum say if she could see you now?", you know?

[Clint]

As a woman, I think women have the rights to do what they want with their bodies, and if that means acting like a filthy slut in a dirty movie, then by all means, go for it.

That's a bullshit feminist statement. Anybody has the freedom to do anything with their own bodies, but just because women have rights doesn't give them the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. You can't walk around naked, you can't try to violently kill yourself in public, and nobody should be allowed to profit off of sex. Anybody in the porn "industry" is a prostitute, and last time I checked, most places you go, prostitution is illegal. Don't know why pornography is the exception.

Those who get paid to get laid are gods and we should bow down to them!

Those who "get paid to get laid" are not gods. There is only one God, and he told me at our poker game last night that pornography is prostitution, and prostitution is a sin. All porn "actors" and anybody in that "business" will be spending eternity in hell, fortunately.

My opinions of feminism would surprise you. I'm not a feminist in the slightest - I'm just, simply, for equal rights for both men and women. But that's another topic. =P

I don't view women (or men) in the porn industry as prostitutes. Prostitution is one of the oldest professions in history, and was largely made illegal because of exploitation, human and sex trafficking, violence and the passing on of sexually transmitted diseases. It can be unsafe.

Porn, for the most part, demonstrates safe sex. Before porn is actually shot, there's a lot of preparations that are made, and all or most are done off camera. There are many standard practices to improve the safety of the actors and actresses too. Also, a lot of amateur couples don't get paid for it and do it for fun. Not saying it's completely safe, but it's far from prostitution.

[Alpha]

I haven't seen a lot of porn, but I'd wager the majority doesn't involve the use of a condom, UE. That's not demonstrating safe sex.

Here, prostitution is a legal profession. A condom is legally required. The prostitution industry is doing more for safe sex than the pornographic industry. (Although I suppose masturbation is the safest form of 'sex' imaginable.)

[Clint]

Is pornography really any better then any of that? Sure, you have contracted pornographic "professionals," who have sex for money, which isn't really that professional, but it's their job, though it really isn't a job, either. But then you have the really gritty, smutty stuff. Stuff like videotaped rape, bestiality, child pornography. You talk about violence, and human and sex trafficking in regards to prostitution. That very stuff goes on in the porn "industry." When it comes to sex as a business, it's never safe.

Here, prostitution is a legal profession.

I'm assuming you live in an area with a lot of Satan worshipers. Fortunately, most of the people around your general area are going to hell.

(Although I suppose masturbation is the safest form of 'sex' imaginable.)

Yeah, you'd think that...

Necro bump.

I take back Lexi belle being the closest to perfection I will ever see.
My girlfriend is the best looking woman I could have ever hoped to encounter. She turns me on like no other.

Probably a little TMI.
