Porno tax

Porno leads to rape? Whatever!

Porn is a basically Adult Entertainment. And to blame porn for sex crimes is no different than blaming movies, music, comic books, video games and other things for criminal acts. People need to stop pointing fingers and put the blame where it belongs...and that's on the criminal. Oh gee! A rapists drinks a Coke and I also drink Coke...therefore I'm also a rapists...get real.

Exactly.

People who rape other people had those thoughts long before any porn was ever produced. Thus it doesnt add up.

Porn in Saudi Arabia is illegal, does that mean women dont get raped there? No, they do get raped.

Rape as a general rule is exertion of power and/or act of violence.

Well now, predictably, she'll probably say that's what she meant and accuse me of assuming. When she clearly meant what she said.

Whatever though, if that's what she meant, she's wrong. If not, we agree. Bookal closage, shelfal storage.

You bastard......

Milla, why are you continuing this charade of saying that rape cannot be about sexual desire?

It's actually confusing me. It's sexual, it's a sexual ACT, it's sexual INTERCOURSE.....buuuuut it's not an act of sexual desire?

Seeing as you've dodged me again, I'll ask again:

DO you believe that rape is NEVER about sexual desire or urge and is always about power? Without exception?

Rape is an act of violence, not passion.
If you think there is anything sexual about that, then there is little i can do to.

I made my argument you made yours. You're not gonna change my mind and i dont anticipate changing youts, thats pretty much it.

seems to me once I think about it...I agree it is about power....I know this because of an attempted rape I went through. it then becomes a 'sexual' act of course when the penis is inserted and ejaculates...thats gonna happen most times as it is an involuntary muscle...so it then turns into a sexual act as well...

But for the most part...its about power. I also agree that porn is NOT to blame for it in no means, for the same reason WindDancer said.

my 2 cents for what its worth 😛

You know what strikes me odd? The people that have this belief of porn being the cause of more rapes in the present. Never look back at history. I guess a hundred years ago when there were so many wars and conquering happening in the world, rape cases never happen. There was no porn back then. So it never happen. Silly isn't it?

Stop being so cowardly as to imply that I suggested it was passion, despite me saying before that I didn't believe it was. Passion is between two lovers (or more), sexual urges don't always equate to passion. Passion is an emotion, sexual isn't. Rape is a sexual act committed through violence. It is, it is a sexual act.

I'll ask you again, lets see if you can actually answer me this time.

Do you believe that rape is AT ALL TIMES an act of POWER and not SEXUAL urge? Without exception? Despite it being catagorised as sexual and despite your 'statistic' proving you wrong? (Nobody is talking about passion.)

If you reply to one part, make it this^^^.

Please stop swerving away and altering what I say. Either admit you don't wanna answer or just admit you were wrong. I'm being civilised, you're once again being ignorant.

I'm just interested in their methodology in coming to that conclusion. I'm betting they just asked a group of male sex offenders "Have you ever watched porn before." then when they in all likelihood received unanimous "Yes."s they went "Oh, porn must cause people to commit sex crimes."

How can porn be related to sex crimes?

Thats then saying, that before porn there were no sex crimes - which is just not true.
People who chose to watch sick things such as rape or child porn, already had those thoughts - watching normal porn didn't magically turn them into peadophiles and rapists.

Thank god for red state republicans who, with no consideration for themselves, pass laws making it harder for them to access the very porn they get off to.....

I'm really curious as to how porn "screws your mind up. Badly".

What porn are you watching?

-AC

Doesn't matter. Like I said, porn screws your mind up. Badly.

Proof?

Not good enough.

Want to post these? Because I've come across none suggesting this.

He's probably been watching the stereotypical, saxophone-drenched, medallion-wearing, Burt Reynolds look-alike porn movies.

That's probably why his mind is screwed up. Would explain why he's a republican also.

"Oh my GOD! Erghhh! Now I suddenly want to stop anyone getting laid!"

Idiot disclaimer: It's not trolling, I'm joking.

Let the search begin!

(Unfortunately, my inclination to keep my psychology book was overpowered by my inclination to keep the money that I would have to spend to do so.)

*Rummages through the Internet.*

Yeah, you know, it's funny.

I watch porn several times a day, and I certainly don't think my mind is screwed up in anyway. In fact, dare I say, I think my mind is extremely healthy.

I've watched porn and I'm not screwed up.

It's really quite silly to think that something like that will mess someone up. Chances are, they're messed up already.
