Yes, for adults, not for children. When adults view porn they are doing so with an emotional maturity that an impressionable child simply does not have. | |

Tom said: AnotherLoverToo said: This is the perfect example of what can be problematic about porn; rather than associating our natural sexuality with curiousity/pleasure/openness, using porn is often associated with guilt, shame, secrecy and images of people who aren't real. Having our first sexual experiences with porn sets a standard of feeling shame/guilt with orgasm and arousal--not exactly healthy.  Porn is fantasy and entertainment for adults. I don't see anything shameful about it. Various forms of organized religion are generally the ones who impose shame on people. Incest and other forms of sexual abuse have been going on long before porn became mainstream. I'd be leary of placing so much blame on it, you might be ignoring other factors that may have lead to the abuse. I agree--and in my main post, I said: "Secondly, although I watch/look at porn and am very sex-positive, there are some things that are really inappropriate for young children to be around. I very much believe that children are sexual beings, naturally curious about their bodies and those of others, and are capable of experiencing sexual pleasure at a young age. But adults often project their own sexuality onto children, and that is wrong. I think kids should be free to explore and "play doctor", but with kids their own age, and without coercion. Leaving adult porn around--I'm not talking about nude statues or tasteful works of art--along with making sexual jokes and inappropriate touching is "grooming" behavior and just plain sick". Studies of sex crimes/pornography show porn is correlative but not causative, meaning porn hasn't been shown to DIRECTLY CAUSE people to commit sex crimes but there is a parallel/related link. Almost all sex offenders list pornography as a huge influence in their lives and to escalating behaviors. Again, I'm just saying that I wish children in our society could explore their sexuality in less coerced, adult ways. | |

 No, they are re-enacting the trial. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

A bill is expected to be signed today in Utah that extends the Statute of Limitations for Rape from 4 to 8 years. This change was spearheaded by a woman raped at 15, but unable to press charged against her attacker when he was found 6 years later. | |
