Porn is Good for Society Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

quote:
"If people need this kind of product surely it's better that it's available to them rather than they have to exercise their desires in a criminal way."


quote:
Ms Jackson's view that porn is good for society is more than just hunch. In academic circles her theory is known as "catharsis".

Its supporters point to places such as Scandinavia and Japan, where liberal attitudes to pornography go hand in hand with low rates of sexual crime against women.


So the view that porn is bad is just an outdated, ultra-conservative Christian viewpoint that the world would be happy to see the back of.

You obviously missed the thread about the craziness of the Japanese, that soon concluded that the craziness (and demon tentacle-cartoon schoolgirl sex) was related to the sexual repression in their society!

Porn is not good, but it represent a less dangerous way to express his (or her ?) sexual frustation.

Did "demon tentacle-cartoon schoolgirl sex" cause their "sexual repression", or vice versa?

Oh well, that's possible but I think I've got to use my favorite besserwisser sentence (in translation of cource): A correlation is not the same as a causal relation.

Got spare money?

Japan low sex crime.. yes.

I suppose schoolgirls being molested in cramped public transportation and this being considered normal is not an offense


not to say anything about the status of women in Japanese society ....

I think a few posters considered Hentai a symptom of sexual repression, kass. I am only reporting what was said also - I have never been to Japan.

?? Japan liberal Porn policies

They still have a law that disallows showing of human genitals in movies/pictures etc.

They sure have some crazy stuff in hentai. One might say all this cartoon stuff is born out of the law that they cant show standard hc porn like in western countrys.

Its funny how you point out ultra-conservative Christianity, when in fact, it is not the only religion that condemns pornography.

Freudian slip?

I hardly think boddy feels any preussure from other religious groups while "consuming" porn. it's more like a result from his cultural context than a freudian slip I'd say.

Without porn I have this feeling that sex crimes against women would be worse...

Besides, so what? You'd have to be a real prude if you had a problem with it. Personally I think those that are the most disgusted by it are those that are the most turned on by it...

Sure, condemn me - but then I am no Catholic priest molesting young boys...
