Today in health we had a very heated discussion about pornography.
I personally feel that it sends the wrong message to teens and young adults about how sex is like in "real life" and what people really look like and should be treated.
-what are some of your thoughts?

I think pornography is okay for people to watch if it's NOT the really horrible kind... like if it's just the normal sex. It's better then people going out and raping other people because they want to watch something like that. Kids get curious about sex and if parents weren't so crazy about kids watching it then I don't think they would as much. we always do what our parents tell us not to. If the sex was NORMAL and didn't send the message that it was okay to do those horrible things to people then it's okay. I hate porno because it degrades women but if that's what people want to look at then it's fuckin' freedom.

I dont think it sends any messages.
completely. Its the persons choice to watch porn or not. I personally think pervs and sex addicts watch it most, but Ive heard about couples wanting to experiment. Porn doesn't bother me
even though Ive heard many girls saying that porn insults and offends females.
but opinions are opinions.

Porn is kind of sick. I mean people who dont get none they usually watch it so they get off get my drift so if you ant tobe in a porno just be prepared cause to me that makes you look sleezy and easy but if you watch it you watch it cant do nothin bout it its jusst pleasure for about what 5 minutes

Sup.

You can't really refer to "pornography" as though it's some monolithic entity. There are hundreds of different niches and each one has a different take on sex, some healthy, some unhealthy, and some more or less neutral.

Amateur pornography, for instance, is a fairly large and popular niche. All of the content is independently produced by individuals or couples, so the porn naturally sends a message about sex "in real life". Whether that message is good or bad is up to the viewer to decide, but at least there's, for the most part, not the artifice in professionally produced pornography. For a lot of couples, pornography is a healthy and enjoyable part of their sex lives--there are more exhibitionists out there than you might think.

In a lot of professionally produced pornography, you could argue that they promote exaggerated, if not unhealthy, perceptions of body image and normal sexuality. I won't deny that--there are a lot of plasticized blondes out there. However, the growth of the internet has enabled content producers to show different women, more natural women, as well. For every bleached blonde there's a girl you'd see walking down the street in any major city.

I don't agree, though, that most porn sends a message about sex "in real life". The interactions are so exaggerated in most cases that a viewer who thinks even remotely critically would understand that porn isn't reality. In reality, a MILF probably wouldn't be willing to get in a van filled with a shady camera crew and fuck a marginally attractive middle-aged dude in the Toys 'R Us parking lot. Just saying.

All that said, porn isn't a creepy thing or an immature thing--it's a human thing.

_{Damn that's a lot of words about dirty movies.}

Porn is really immature.
I know that some teens look at it for entertainment.
But really who wants to watch some thin girl moaning + getting a 18in dick stuck up her ass?
And what makes it worse is that 50yr old perverted men watch it too, creepy much?
Yeah, its scary..
