	Pornography Enter the AD-FREE zone

Is it really a danger to children, or do right wing Christian-types blow it out of proportion?

Discuss - and I'd love to see Dr. Strangelove's opinion...

I came across lotsa porn as a kid, and look at me - no harm done (?).

It's up to the parents to keep the kids away from what they find inappropriate.

If there's a consenting seller and buyer - no other's business.

Of course adults just be able to use pornography starring other adults, but it poses a moral danger to children.

How is pornography morally dangerous? Isn't it just the human body?

I mean, for a kid - worst case it causes masturbation, right? How is that bad?

i've been addicted to porn since i was 13. and i own a t-shirt from www.getoffended.com that reads "my mom lied. 3 times a day since i was 12, and i'm not blind".



and as for the effects on children, i don't consider myself some sort of deviant, but i do seem to quite picky in my taste of females. damn pornstars ruined my perception of beauty.

The great majority of our country sees at as sinful, so it is ok to take some measures to curtail the ability to which kids can get at it.(Requiring ID for porn, etc.) Adults who want porn in this country have no problems getting it. If a parent wants his kid to be able to get porn, they would be able to get it for their kid.

The viewing of it is in and of itself morally wrong and a sin. As for children, it could give them warped attitudes about sexuality and make sex a greater part of their lives.

Since not everyone is religious... to many it being a 'sin' is irrelevent. Morality is also relative. Many people consider pornography harmless, even beneficial.

As to warped attitude... if most people are 'warped', then they're all on a par with each other

Its up for parents to decide, when and if.

Personally I find attractive women in the nude very easy to look at and would like to encourage more of it.
Some of the sick stuff should be harder to access to protect the young minds.

I am against allowing children viewing pornography, and I am against child pornography.

Both of these encourage pedophilia, which is based on the exploitation and manipulation of children.

Oh come on Mr Fun, it happens. When kids become sexually active they need to relieve themselves, and the chances are at that age, it is going to involve pornography. You are just being plain unrealistic, and quite frankly, naive.
