The Pornographic industry has reached its peak in the recent years, and today it is claimed to be one of the most prosperous industries with thousands of adherents. However, pornography is a contradictory issue that continues to be argued about. Debates on whether pornography is at all needed continue up to these days, but the solution to the problem has not yet been found. There are both pros and cons of pornography. Some of the most popular of them will be analyzed further.
As with last time, I will remain neutral the entire time, even in the comments. There are many people who might think it's silly this is a debate, but here in the United States of America, there are many people(especially women) who think it should be outright banned.
The Case for Pornography: Pros
1. Pornography Further Educates us on Sexual Relationships
Some people claim that instead of provoking a disrespectful attitude to everything related to sex, pornography encourages people to treat sexual relations with more respect. If a person is not that interested in pornography, however, it may be regarded just as a reference. This means that a person treats pornography as guidelines for inspiration and further actions. Furthermore, both partners may enjoy watching pornography if it inspires them towards sex. It might be regarded simply as a toy for people in love. Some couples watch pornography simply to satisfy their sexual desires and fantasies. Moreover, they might use the material in the pornographic movies for further action. It is not bad to treat pornography in the above mentioned manner. If a couple is interested in experimentation, they might enjoy watching pornographic movies and afterwards get pleasure from sexual intercourse with one another.
Common Rebuttal: We can educate ourselves on sex without resorting to sex videos, or images.
2. We Should Have the Legal Right to Indulge in our Sexual Desires
In my opinion, this is the strongest argument on this side: It's our right to do whatever we want, as long as we're not harming anyone else. If I want to watch pornography, I should have the freedom to do this. If a consenting adults want to have sex on camera for some cash, then allow it to happen. If a director wants to shoot porn for his/her business, allow it to happen. This argument is simple, and gets straight to the point.
Common Rebuttal: This assumes that pornography doesn't harm anyone, especially with sexual abuse allegations.
3. Economic Benefits
Believe it, or not, pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry. Here in the United States, it is actually an important business from an economic standpoint. On top of this, it creates many jobs: Directors, producers, sound technicians, actors/actresses, and so on. It's literally an industry. You may as well call it legalized prostitution, except there is no an audience. It's a game of supply, and demand. Nothing more, nothing less.
Common Rebuttal: Since people often waste money on pornography, it can actually create more debt, and harm the economy.
The Case Against Pornography: The Cons
1. It Displays Unrealistic Expectations
I definitely consider this the strongest argument on this side. Among the disadvantageous features of pornography are unrealistic expectations of the viewers. The viewers see sexually attractive women and men in the pornographic movies that are not always true to life. Some people suggest that watching of such pornographic videos can provoke unreal expectations in regard to how their own sexual partners have to look like and behave during the sexual intercourse. It has been proved that people who watch pornographic movies expect women to be more resourceful in sex, although in reality it cannot always be realized. In fact, people simply forget that those who are involved in pornographic industry just do their job and should not be perceived as those who really behave in this or that way during a sexual intercourse.
Common Rebuttal: This may be true for kids/pre-teens/teens, but most adults realize this isn't realistic, and is only fantasy.
2. Ironically, it Could Make it Harder for People to Become Aroused.
Furthermore, many of the pornographic movies instill a longing for unusual sexual practices in the viewers. If to watch such movies regularly, men and women might experience problems with getting aroused. Some studies have shown that pornographic movies might provoke a desire for experiments during the sexual intercourse. What is more, pornography leads to sexual addiction. It especially concerns the pornographic movies that can be found in the Internet. Just like alcohol and drugs, pornography might provoke a longing for more and more videos. Studies on addictive behavior show that too much pornography on the Internet provokes addiction among viewers towards such kind of videos. Therefore, some people are so desensitized to viewing sex on camera, that nothing really excited them anymore: Almost the same way a full blown drug-addict/alcoholic never gets the "buzz" anymore.
Common Rebuttal: Who cares? That's a risk we take, the same way people take risks with everything else in life.
3. Pornography is Often Sexual Abuse, Masked as a Movie
Here we go, with the most controversial reasoning on both sides: Many people, especially modern day Feminists, claim that a vast majority(if not all) pornographic movies are actually rape, sexual assault, or women who very reluctantly agree to sex. Many testimonials from female porn stars say if they refused sex, directors would beat them. Others have said that they would cry after the sex, or it would mentally demented them for the rest of their lives, since the men they had sex with were so disgusting. There are Feminist bloggers who are former porn stars, coming out, and saying that porn should be banned because it's basically legalized rape.
Common Rebuttal: Porn stars might only be doing it as a job, or for the money, but that's still consent, and this has been blown out of proportion.
What do you think? And please, make some suggestions for a new topic in the comments.
What Girls & Guys Said
9 20It's our right to do whatever we want, as long as we're not harming anyone else
DID YOU REALLY SAY THIS HOLY SHIT YOU ARE STUPID
You apparently didn't read the take, because I didn't say that. I was putting that as a possible reason as to why someone might say it should be legalized. However, I don't see what is so controversial about that statement... I mean, as long as your actions aren't affecting, or harming anyone else, I fail to see why it should be illegal...
ok ill smash your car with a bat but its ok im not harming you the standard is the bible end of story
I said harm, OR affect me. By smashing my car, you're affecting my life, since it's my property. Please tell me you understand what I meant.
its not affecting you its affecting your car you have legs you can walk you need to understand how stupid this world has gotten you have probably seen it gender pronouns lol its so stupid im not gonna follow it but those types of people will literally switch your words around and break your car the standard is the bible trust me on that I see it play out everyday and no one notices
It amazes me how a grown ass man can be so retarded. Obviously if you smash up my car, that harms me - it takes away my hard earned wealth. And don't drag the Bible into this, you religious nutcake. Nobody cares about your stupid, incestuous fairytale.
@Benedek38
its real GOD is above the dome
so yeah that fairy tale is reality
physical reality
and trust me you do not have a choice in the matter

the firmament declares the glory of GOD

Oh my god, you really ARE retarded! Please don't procreate. There is no fucking dome. This is the 21st century. There is more evidence to prove that the Galaxy around us exists, than you could understand in your whole life. If you refuse to educate yourself, you don't deserve to live.
@Benedek38 have you ever been on a space ship?
Have you ever seen your God?
@Benedek38 YES I HAVE HE CAME TO SEE ME I WAS 19 so let me ask again have you ever been to space
So he came to you when you were 19? Can you ask him to come to me, too? I would be very interested in meeting him. And yes, I have been to space.
@Benedek38
you gotta ask him yourself
cause I asked when i was younger and it took years for him to finally come
he knows the right time
no you haven't cause it doesn't exist there is a glass dome over the earth
the reflection of the sun and moon show the power of my GOD we are pets in a cage

"you gotta ask him yourself"
I did, long ago. He didn't give a shit about me though.
"he knows the right time"
Well, that's convenient...
"no you haven't cause it doesn't exist"
You asked me if I have been to space. I told you I have. Are you calling me a liar? DO YOU DARE CALL ME A LIAR?
"there is a glass dome over the earth"
Anyone with an elementary understanding of physics can understand that glass doesn't have the necessary hardness to support the weight of a giant dome around Earth (over Earth? Are you a flat Earther too? I'm not sure.)
Point is, the only thing that certainly doesn't exist is a glass dome around Earth, sunshine.
Regarding your video, took me about 5 seconds to find this article:
www.theweek.co.uk/.../double-moon-27-august-hoax-returns-to-fool-facebook-yet-again
COrrection, tensile strength, not hardness. The two are correlated, but it's still more appropriate to use tensile strength.
@Benedek38 ITS ON VIDEO IN REAL LIFE I HAVE EVEN SEEN IT IN REAL LIFE THE REFLECTION OFF THE DOME I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS NOW I DO
I told you. A glass dome wouldn't be able to support its own weight. End of discussion. For a 25-29 year old man, you are a fucking dumbass.
@Benedek38 there is water on top of it that's why the sky is blue
You should quit doing LSD.
Nice take
What hell is up with these fat asses?
I am a fan of fat asses, I'll admit that much!
Just on "Pornography Further Educates us on Sexual Relationships" if your receiving everything you know about sexual relationships from porn you've been miseducated. The a lot of guys I've slept with hadn't a clue how to please a girl and kept trying porn moves.
Also a big problem a lot of porn watching guys have is that they struggle to get erect, stay hard and even ejaculate during sex like a normal man would without the manual stimulation of their own hand. I've talked to a lot of other women and they agree this is a big problem with men today. Often a guy has to have porn on to perform sexually at all.
depends what porn you're looking at, but I largely agree. Issues with ejaculating within a reasonable time isn't synonymous with watching too much porn though. Guys who naturally masturbate with a tight fist for example, naturally become more desensitised. Tbf though, women have vastly more nerve endings and erogenous zones then men
Interesting point. I guess it could be too unrealistic to properly educate people on sexual relationships.
I have no good words for porn : it's a BAD comedy and actors ARE abused.
Do you think it should be illegal?
It was illegal for years. But available nevertheless. The working conditions should be regulated.
Well, child pornography is illegal, and still available. But if it was legal, it would be significantly more common, right? I can see your point with regulation.
>porn is part of at least half of the entire internet >'nah all of them are abused' the ignorance is astounding
what makes you think the porn industry isn't regulated? Depends what country it was filmed in. Just as sex work is illegal in most countries, but certainly not all
What the hell is with these pictures?
It's a MyTake about pornography... think about it.
So what. I've never seen fat girls in pornography. Like I said, what's up with these pictures?
There are porn videos with women who are easily 200/300lbs heavier than the girls I posted. Search "BBW porn", or "SSBBW porn" on Google if you want to know. I posted examples of curvy porn, which is literally everywhere... I used to be a porn addict, I know.
I'm sure it's out there if someone wants to put in the effort to seek it out, but it is far from the norm. I was just wondering why every one of the 6 pics you chose for your MyTake was of an unattractive, very fat assed girl. It just seems really odd. That's why I asked.
The reason why I choose very fat assed girls in the photos is because I like very fat assed girls.
Fair enough.
