Scientific American reports: Casual porn surfing causes no harm

I came upon an article I thought some of you guys might be interested in.

The Sunny Side of Smut

"For most people, pornography use has no negative effects?and it may even deter sexual violence."

A pretty good journalism about 'our' porn...

Us veterans can surely agree with the idea of the 'no negative effects'.
And what's not really news to Danish research is the fact/idea that porn surely can prevent/deter sexual violence.... like the theory that potential sex offenders can stay clear of violent crime towards others with the 'help' of porn....good find!..........and the headline is not bad at all...The Sunny Side of Smut "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle"

A very interesting and honest article on pornography. We don't see those often enough. Long live the Brown Coats.

Great article, always nice to see a little science on our side, besides the usual lessons on the intricacies of the human anatomy.

And one of my favorites quotes in the article (end of the third paragraph): "It's a moral issue, not a factual issue." This is probably the heart of the whole fight over porn: morals versus, well, let's be honest, reality.

It's not a fact that porn is objectively a "good" or "bad" thing, though its effects can be measured (probably still a little early in the game for the long term effects of 'net porn). I'm pretty sure I've said in the forum that porn is not immoral, but that's really not anymore factual than saying porn is so immoral that it will cause Western society to crumble.

Maybe it's just being an American who's jaded from a lifetime of witnessing nitwit leaders who talk about "our" morals as if they're one-size-fits-all, or even all that moral. For example, why is capital punishment moral but Hustler isn't? It'd seem to me that taking a life is a lot less moral than taking photos of naked ladies, but what do I know.

One more reason I'd like to see science make a respectable comeback in my country. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D.

Couldn't agree more myself--and one of the reasons I don't trust anyone who claims to be abstinent or celibate (at least by choice). I'm much more worried about someone who's actively avoiding sex or anything sexual than I am about some supposed pervert or "sex addict" (no such thing ).

And an interesting aside to this article, it mentioned viewers of "violent or fetishist porn," saying: "But when it came to violent or fetishist porn, the groups diverged. Consumers of these types of pornography appeared to masturbate more frequently, have more sexual partners over the course of their life, and experience slightly less relationship intimacy than their nonviolent porn-viewing counterparts."

More partners? Woo-hoo! Maybe I should start reviewing old Max Hardcore videos! But I bet all those attributes would be true even without the porn, and those people will just naturally seek out the more violent or fetishist stuff--whatever the hell counts as "fetishist"--not that the porn really changes or influences every viewer's behavior.

That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove

I think it has it's positives and negatives like most things, over indulging where you become addicted and lose track of what real women are all about and socially engaging with them. I do however think its also great for getting release and can be even educational in some ways, I've learnt a lot from my lesbian porn. Yeah I also agree for those people who seek out violence it might deter some from getting a release in a role played scenes from one of the bsm sites but there will alway be exemptions to that rule I guess and sad to say always be nutters who go to far in real life.

Porn can be healthy when in moderation. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE

Anyone who says that porn makes a person sexually violent, or just sexist, for that matter, would probably read this sentence as "rettam taht rof, tsixes tsuj ro, tneloiv yllauxes nosrep a sekam nrop taht syas ohw enoynA."

In other words, they've got it backwards. A violent or sexist person is going to be that way BEFORE viewing porn. It's in their nature. Porn doesn't alter that. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England.

I couldn't agree more. And this theme always brings to mind the following....to wit:

Who, or what the hell would they blame this non-sense on if Porn wasn't around?
If it were to go away, would we see a dramatic drop in sexual crimes? I think not....nor do I think most reasonabley endowed individuals would think otherwise.
Drooler is clearly and absolutely correct ..... It's a trait inbred in those with a proclivivity to commit such crimes, and reported by reliable sources to have little or nothing to do with an association with porn.
One only has to follow the thoughts presented in this forum to make their way to that conclusion. Edited on Jul 31, 2011, 04:29pm
