They're right. Sex is a natural thing but porn is anything but real OR natural. It's a completely unrealistic, inauthentic and totally inaccurate representation of 99% of the sex that takes place between people in the real world.

Society has changed for the worse since porn became mainstream during the rise of the internet.

wait .. how many secret cams did you install in bedrooms around the world to determine this?

btw is it really so bad that rape and crime dropped heavily per capita and in total numbers since the 80's ? (and chances are instances of rape were even more heavily underreported in the past than they are now)

Yeah I wouldn't surprised if widespread access to large amounts of porn probably reduces rape. Getting sex isn't such an overpowering need when you can just blow one out in 10 minutes to 10093939 different varities of porn.

So what exactly is Utah planning to do? Ban the internet? Censor websites like they're communist China or North Korea?

You can't really do anything without violating the constitution and free speech, and porn addiction ... whoopity doo. Really, stop jerking off if porn addiction is such a big issue in your life. No one's dying from porn addiction, no one's getting killed by a porn impaired driver. 

Judging by the amount of obese people, "food addiction" is about 10000000x a bigger problem and legitimate health concern, but again what are you going to do? Ban hamburgers and pizza? 

You have to realize that when you and I were growing up, we had to deal with shitty dial-up internet and we didn't have access to internet as readily as today.

I realized that I could get hundreds or thousands of photos of porn, on dial-up, back then. And nothing happened. It depends on the person. Because the accessability has always been there. Even as far as playboy mags, in the past. Nothings really changed. Getting one mag. Or 1000 videos. Same thing.

Those kids are gonna be some scary freak bastards.   You never ever demonize sex.  it never works out well. 

1. Porn is the safest sex there is.  Its much safer than polygomy which is perfectly fine in Utah... 

2. The reason why everyone is addicted to porn is becuse its one of the only pleasurable things about Utah...

3.  Maye if they weren't so backwards they could get laid.

4.  Utah is a public health crisis.  How about that.

Yeah, polygamy is illegal here just like everywhere else in the country.  Utah just had one of the more famous polygamy groups here (although they have mostly moved to Arizona and Texas since Utah has been prosecuting them on all sorts of stuff lately).  And Utah is a freaking awesome place to live...

Beat me to it.

I don't believe there's been any appreciable rise in rape unless you can provide statistics, you think there wasn't rape in the pre-porn days?

So a few girls have had to take it up the pooper lol. It's not like they're going to die. Women probably benefit from porn as today there's likely far more men willing to go down on them, where 30-40 years ago for a lot of guys that was probably a "no way". 

Classy response. If someone isn't going to die, it's free game.

Why is anal sex such a (pun intended) stick up the ass for people? Maybe women enjoy anal sex? So what's the problem if porn is popularizing it. 

I'm sure women enjoy receiving oral sex too, which porn has likely made more commonplace too. 



Well if porn wasn't a public health crisis before, it is now.

Who knows? Maybe they rape people? Seems pretty bad to me. Or maybe they go for the barely legal ones, who turn out to be 15 year olds. I have quite a few friends addicted to porn who even forced their gfs to have anal with them because of the obsession with it in porn (just giving an example of how it can do more harm than people are willing to admit).

Well I know another guy who had a one night stand with a girl and then tried to have anal with her, she said no, he insisted and forced her to take it and he basically raped her, as she never gave consent to that. The girl didn't say anything to the police since he wasn't arrested, but it was still rape. I don't know if you've had anal sex (and were on the receiving end) but I can tell you that if you don't do it properly it hurts like hell. So, yeah, she didn't die, but she was raped and that's pretty serious.

I believe (though I have no proof to back up my claim) that the more porn you watch, the more normal something seems in the end. So had he not watched that much porn, he probably wouldn't even think about having anal. As for the girls, one of them stopped her bf, but she was very upset and almost broke up with him. Porn surely makes things like anal, deepthroating, spanking, etc look cool and absolutely normal. So when a girl shows that she doesn't like them, there are problems in the relationship that may not have existed in the past.

Just my two cents.

As for myself, and I'm truly ashamed to admit this, I've had safe sex almost all my life. Then I started watching bareback porn and though it was stupid. But the more I would watch (and hear others talk about how different it is), the more normal it would seem so once I said "fuck it", tried it and loved it. Thnakfully I soon (happened 5 times) came to my senses, but my point is that without porn the thought of unprotected sex wouldn't have even crossed my mind. And I'm sure you know how dangerous unprotected sex can be.

Could be wrong about this, but I've heard women don't enjoy it simply because they don't have a prostate. So for them it's just (very) painful and not pleasant at all.  Some others find it degrading and you know what, they have every right to feel any way they want. Same as if a girl asked you to f you with a strap on (at least that could give you some pleasure if you are a guy), and you say "no". I mean, if she were to ask you, "what's the big deal", how would you answer? "Thanks but I'm not into that"? Well, guess what, she isn't either.

The post you responded to was about forcing people into doing something. You said that's okay because they weren't going to die from it.

Has nothing to do with being prudish.

Women aren't being forced to do anything. 

It's like saying Victoria Secret forces women to wear sexy lingerie to please their husbands/boyfriends.

Sometimes your ability to not comprehend the most basic things is nothing short of amazing.

Oh You're being awfully pleasant today, rol.

It's called having a different opinion, something you have problems dealing with apparently. 

Lets see all these cases of forced anal sex, in reality women hold a lot of sway in relationships and are hardly being forced to do anything at gunpoint. 

In reality people do dozens of things all the time for their significant other that they themselves may not enjoy.
