Porn - Yea or Nay?

[Moonyshadow]

I'm rather ashamed to admit that when I was younger (I'm talking 11 and 12) I watched some porn. This may sound really weird to you but I was so curious about, y'know, sex, that I looked it up to see what it really looked like. And after I watched some, I got a little addicted, and every so often I would look it up and watch some, with interest. It wasn't about the fact that they were DOING IT, more like the fact that it was so interesting to see how 'that worked'. After a while I realized how inappropriate it was and I stopped watching. o.o I am still not proud of my days watching pornography.

What is your preferred media?
I prefer written porn, but can take on some videos if I feel like it.
What are your views on porn, in general?
Porn is a way of expressing yourself, just like any other kind of art. Sure, it can be macabre and grotesque, but so can other art pieces too.
When did you start reading/watching/writing porn?
Not long ago, I don't remember exactly when.
What type do you watch/read/write?
I like all kinds of porn, but only if it's well written/filmed.
Do you feel that straight porn represents women, or even men, in an unrealistic way?
Some, yes, but not everything.
Do you feel that porn is damaging to our youth?
This depends strongly on the individual. I know a guy who developed OCD from accidentally viewing porn at a young age (there were other kinds of influences on him aswell, but he told me that the video "set it off")
In your opinion, is porn a good way to bond?
Actually, I haven't tried that yet. Maybe sometime in the future, but not as I see it now.
How old are you?
Fifteen
What gender are you?
Female

I THINK I'm straight, but I believe that I can fall in love with anyone, so hypothetically pan? I have no idea.

What is your preferred media? (Written, Videos, Pictures, other)

Ah, i usually prefer written forms becuase they arent always just "sexsexsexsex" you know? ...Pictures are nice too, ohh and comics can be lovely

What are your views on porn, in general?

Ah. Sometimes its a bit ridiculous, but everyone has their own prefrences. There are alot of strange fetish porn for instance, some of it is interesting, but alot of it is really gross. In general, i think most porn outlets are a nice way to find out what you enjoy, some things you enjoy reading/watching/looking at, others you dont.

When did you start reading/watching/writing porn?

Oh, i belive i started at a pretty young age. I was always very curious, and it didnt help that alot of children in my elematry school were very lewd. I think it was 10 when i first looked up things of that content.

What type do you watch/read/write? (Gay, straight, lesbian, bisex, fantasy, etc.)

Ohhh, i like alot of flavors, I sometimes read boyxboy ones. Girlxgirl ones are nice too, and of course straight ones. Ah, personally i like robotxrobot and humanxrobot types for the fantasy category...hah I am also into very light guro...haha. Not too extreme though.

General:
Do you feel that straight porn represents women, or even men, in an unrealistic way?

Sometimes it does, yes. It usually says how beautiful the women. And how unrealistically endowed the men are, i rarely read anything 'real' with average people, i guess its just not what people like .

Do you feel that porn is damaging to our youth?

I dont think it is. Sex is a natural urge for every living thing.I think children shouldn't watch porn, but they should not be taught that it is bad, its not really.

In your opinion, is porn a good way to bond? (Friends, Spouses, etc.)

Hm. Me and my friends talk about our likes and dislikes, its not really bonding, but its interesting sharing what we like and dont like with eachother.

Personal:
How old are you?

Im 17.

What gender are you?

Female

What is your sexual preference?

Well, this is sort of hard for me to determine. I am attracted to guys, but i also find myself being attracted to women aswell. There is something beautiful in every person, not just in appearence, so anything could happen for me really.

What general area of the world are you in?

Washington, near seattle. in a little place called lynnwood (probably a hour-half and hour from seattle) Born and raised here.

With me and porn, it's a guilty pleasure that I prefer to read. Generally I prefer girlXgirl, but I also go for guyXguy. Though I wouldn't be comfortable with someone else knowing that I read porn, it's not a very bad thing. So no, I don't think children should be told "porn is bad".

Lol. Rambling a bit here. But yeah, I have no problem with porn and enjoy it

[Jynxii]

I have seen many different kinds, and to me, I can't find anything good about it. To me, it seems fake... even amateur stuff... maybe that's just me though... but yeah I am not into any kind.

To each their own! I respect the fact that you don't like it. But if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "fake"?

For those of you for porn:
What is your preferred media? Drawings, photographs or written works.
What are your views on porn, in general? It's just porn, I guess. Some of it, I find gross, and some of it I don't. Some people love it, and some hate it. To each their own, right?
When did you start reading/watching/writing porn? I believe when I was.. 12? It was much more mild stuff, but even then I felt ashamed of myself.
What type do you watch/read/write? Mostly fantasy, hentai, gay and lesbian.

General:
Do you feel that straight porn represents women, or even men, in an unrealistic way? To say that it does, or that it doesn't is a huge generalization. I find the porn that does such things to be extremely unappealing to me. So I don't bother to view it.
Do you feel that porn is damaging to our youth? I don't believe it is. I was never "damaged" by it. Thinking of sex/sex partners unrealistically is the fault of the individual or bad sex education.
In your opinion, is porn a good way to bond? It could be, yes. Discussing things like this, for me at least, is a very private or embarrassing thing, so when talking about it with partners or friends, I feel that they know much more about me, and I feel closer. There are very, very, very few people who know about my sexual interests.

Fake boobs, fake hair, the moaning and what-not, its funny when the chick thinks the camera isnt on her and her face is like "this is boring".. fake lol. {not really talking about amateur stuff, but the "big" stuff}

Seems I forgot all this in my last post ._.
General:
Do you feel that straight porn represents women, or even men, in an unrealistic way? Yeah, for women sometimes, really small females with large, fake breasts, that, to me, isn't a real woman.
Do you feel that porn is damaging to our youth? No, everyone will and always has been curious about sex, they will figure out ways to help that curiosity, whether it be porn or something else.
In your opinion, is porn a good way to bond? For me no, if my significant other was to watch it, it would probably make me feel less of a woman. Like I wasn't enough? Something like that. And I wouldn't even think about watching it with friends lol

Personal:

Ah, I understand where you're coming from better now. I prefer reading porn, though, so I have little experience with what you're talking about.

It would be funny to see the what you described, though Someone supposed to be in the middle of sex going "this is boring". LOL

Anyway, I'll shut up now.

For those of you for porn:
What is your preferred media? Videos, pics, written.
What are your views on porn, in general? I don't really have any particular view on it. It's a good way for people to learn about sex (especially written stories), how you do it, tricks of the trade, that sort of stuff. Also a good way to release sexual tension. I know it'd take me quite a while to release if I didn't have any porn material except images in my head.
When did you start reading/watching/writing porn? Hmm... Possibly one of my most memorable introductions to porn is the Anita Blake series. That's what got me into written. Pics and videos.. Hard because my memory is pretty shotty. xD I'd have to say, at a guess, I probably just googled 'BOOBS!' and came up with pics and then it sort of progressed from there. Written - 13 I think, Pics/Vids - 11-12
What type do you watch/read/write? Everything except rape. I do realise that some of the 'rape' videos are likely just acting, otherwise wouldn't police have snapped down on them, but it just seems... Bad. Sort of thing. xD Just any sort of rape, even if it's written. Oh, and also lesbian. Girl on girl just never really gets me going. Maybe it's just because I like penetration, I don't know.

General:
Do you feel that straight porn represents women, or even men, in an unrealistic way? It can. Some of the guys have really huge members and I just feel like it's made bigger and larger through surgery or some sort of steroid. Also, I hate when I see women with really huge breasts that just cover their whole chest. It's really unrealistic, gross and unnatural. No woman should have breasts that big.
Do you feel that porn is damaging to our youth? No. Sex is a natural part of life.
In your opinion, is porn a good way to bond? I don't really discuss porn with other people. I just don't really see how you bond over that sort of stuff. "Hey Jim, I just watched some real good porn!"
"Oh yea? What genre was it, Fred?"
"Oh just the usual, you know? Some guy banging a girl, pretty good."
"Awesome..."
Also, it can break up relationships. "You watch porn? What kind of sick bastard are you?"
Or "You watch gay porn? You fucking homosexual!"

Personal:
How old are you? I am 14.
What gender are you? Male.
What is your sexual preference? Uhm... Taking a guess at what you mean and I'm gonna say Bi-curious/heterosexual.
What general area of the world are you in? AUSSIEEEE!!!!!!!!
