In your opinion, is pornography a bad thing

[King Sean]

Pornography is not a bad thing. It is what it is to the eyes of the beholder. Like someone above stated, masturbation is completely normal and I think watching pornography is completely normal. Hell, I can even go as far as saying I encourage people to watch it. You'll learn stuff, not just about new moves, but also learn about yourself. Learn what you like and what you don't. It can help you find yourself not only sexually, but mentally and physically as well.

There is nothing inherently bad about pornography. Sure, the media is steadily engaging in more and more acts that are treading dangerously close to public pornography, but that is something the entertainment needs to curve and that is just another trial. Pornography is not bad. Watching it is not bad. It's perfectly fine.

This is going to sound like a cop out answer but its all just shades of grey much like everything in life the secret to order is balance. In terms of the subject matter I think porn will never go away even if you banned it in every country in the world this is the internet people would still find a way and I think it is a healthy outlet for people who dont have a partner or simply dont care to get one.

I can see how porn can be damaging there is some real nasty shit out there but at the same time the majority is done by quite well paid people who do it willingly. At the end of the day the debate on is it degrading will be going on for the end of time but im kinda sick of people telling grown adults how to live. If the people involved filming it agreed to do then its only degrading if the viewer finds it degrading. Controversy is often over blown and the only people who take offence are hyper sensitive people in their own bubbles of ignorance.

Hmm, whatever I try saying ends up just as my argument with prostitution and drugs do so I'll just quote myself (substitute prostitution with pornography):

Unless you believe in a higher being, you undoubtedly accept that only the Individual can own his or her self. Even with the idea of believing in a higher being, one should realize that by right of freewill we own ourselves. Since I own my body, it is explicitly my right to sell my labor with the value I see fit. No man can debar me from that without resorting to using violence against me.

Prostitution is one thing and one thing only, the selling of one's service. Prostitution only became part of human trafficking due to the law making enemy out of individuals with a consensual service. Even as a theist, I'd even go so far as to call prostitution as one of the noblest industries since it profits from the most sought-after service in human history through a voluntary effort.

Of course, the more the human mind is exposed to the naked body, the less it becomes surprised (or terrified) of the naked body. Making it easier to realize, likewise, that the naked body is not this object we ought be ashamed of revealing.

I voted pornography is a good thing, cuz people can see how sex is done. I know that it have been said by medics the negative reasons of looking a porn. I really hate most porns, i must say. So i should have vote its good and bad rather than not bad. I only like some porns that are in my opinion really good, while most others i think dont have that high quality.
So most porns are trash, while some are brillant and worth watching. But its only my opinion on porns.
