• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

Nah, I'm on a similar page as AC; I click away from videos where things look disrespectful but because I'm not interested I don't get enough information to know if I've just walked in on a healthy scene or if it's really just a cheap video with a director that wanted to see some slapping and actors who don't mind performing that way. I assume some of the latter exists cause I am aware of the existence of people who like that stuff and I assume someone is making content to make them happy.

I don't need to. I have visited the popular porn web sites. I know the facts.

The BBFC article isn't referencing child porn - so again, you are switching.

No I am not. I am not questioning that people are abusive to each other on social media. I am contesting that pornography has anything to do with that.

One person's view. Lithrael's is somewhat different (see above). As is the fact that:
The BBFC can reveal that 1 in 3 adult pornography users have been exposed to violent or abusive content online in the last three months. In a survey of 2,021 adults who had accessed pornography online, over half (58%) expressed concern about the levels of violence or abuse depicted.

Opinions are like anuses. Everyone has one.

These respondents are all porn users.

Sure. :dl:

No - Bertin for example has clearly stated she is not against all porn.

And if you believe that I have some swamp land for sale.
 
Acbytesla has finally established an anti-porn conspiracy. Amazing.
 
Thinking that someone who claims to only want to ban x amount of porn and then they will be happy and stop, might actually in fact not stop, isn't proposing a conspiracy. It's just plain not believing them about their stated intentions.

And the survey of 2,021 porn users is all made up? The BBFC, Gabby Bertin and the porn taskforce are all in on it?

It's not even slightly contentious to say that it's easy to design a survey to get resluts that have an entire foot on the scale. People do it all the time. It's hard work to design a survey that DOES reasonably accurately find the information you're trying to get.

Precisely!

Some women like to be treated roughly during sex. I know because I've dated women who like that. I'm uncomfortable with it so it doesn't work for me though. It should also be apparent considering the popularity of the book 50 Shades of Gray among women. It's totally about that theme.

People like what they like. Who are we to judge? As long as it is consensual and no one is actually injured, my position is that is their business.

Which allows me to pose a similar question in the other direction to porn users who may, to some degree, be rather addicted.

No such thing. They like it. I was also never addicted to sex and yet to this day I still desire women.

How many times have we seen that? So, so many.

You can drop porn like yesterday?

Yes? I'm in the middle of writing some but I did just finish the steamy part so it's gonna be all plot for a while. As far as stuff with actual other people in it, I already only partake occasionally.

(Funny enough I have looked at a hell of a lot more porn to check things said here than I typically do.)

Using Poem's definition, I look at Porn everyday. You know, anything that is sexually arousing. I guess I'm addicted.
