How porn affects women

[Guest]

how do you qualify that, when men try to hide it all the time?

I don't, but I assume the study authors did. The MMPII test is a very good way to discover whether someone is lying, which is why I like to see studies that use it. Yes it's a well studied and effective test.

admittedly, it's hard to find someone who is neutral on this topic.

I like to think I am. I simply don't see anything wrong with legal porn and banning it offends my sense of freedom.

I... think not. But if it really is that hard to stop looking at it, maybe that fact should be acknowledged by the church. I seemed to remember a high proportion of pastors struggle with it, from something I was reading somewhere.

Anything that tickles the pleasure centres is addictive. I'm addicted to The Learning Company lectures. I'm sure some aspects of my life are less satisfying because of this, but I'm an adult and make my own choices.

Most people have a run in with porn and well... like it... even pastors. I have some trouble with the definition of "Problem" and "Struggle" though.

Churches have several problems IMHO and two of them are their need to either create missionaries or increase the faithfuls childbirth rate to survive. Both of these are problems for a free society. In this sense it IS a "problem" for pastors that indulge in porn.

How interesting ......

More false accusations and a slip up, you really should take note of what account you're logged into. But then that's the problem with multiple accounts isn't it? One single distraction, one momentary lapse of concentration and look what happens.

And please don't try any bullshit, you didn't even reply to one of "Gypsum's" posts, you named me as a guest post you were replying to.

I don't make guest posts you sad little troll, even when I forgot to log in and accidentally posted as a guest the other day my post was clearly identifiable as me.

If I have anything to say to you I won't hide behind a guest post, I have far more guts than that.

Trolls should be banned.

People who can't read html should be banned too.

Then explain to me how it happened??

The post 'it' quoted was a guest post not a and post made by Gypsum. The post quoted contained nothing at all from Gypsum.

Someones been caught out and doesn't like it.

Oh! One other thing, this is a VB forum, not a web page so it doesn't have any html in it.

At least learn what you're trying to pretend you know about.

Off you go, then.

So who are you today troll?

You just can't leave it alone can you? You have to have something to hang onto.

Piss off and troll someone else. I'm off back to ignoring you.

it's always quite difficult to qualify what constitutes "neutral" on moral issues. The default position is that you take no opinion on it. But suppose someone is being tortured next to you. If you're indifferent are you neutral, are you implicitly endorsing some pretty morally extreme activity?

Sorry... what point are you making here? Do you mean that as they're asking people to either be chaste or just have loving sex, they're setting a double standard if they indulge in porn?

I'm off back to ignoring you.

Imagine my chagrin.

Just re-posting the last on-topic post in the thread so that the people who are actually treating the thread properly can see it.

[mogadishu]

Oh dear, look, I hate to descend to Curvey's level, but I've just spotted yet another fib about myself. ... even poor Gypsum doesn't escape your tendency to make things up? Let's get this over with quickly.
May the light of truth shine on Curvey world:

1. Lovely as Gypsum is, she and Mogadishu are not the same
2. I am NOT a male misogynist.
3. I am not a troll
4. I am not stupid
5. I did not pm you to make friends with you - I did it because I had visions of Neo-Nazi posting your details somewhere like stormfront. I wish I hadn't bothered.
6. I did not take your thread off topic by talking about the human rights act - that direction was the result of a question you asked, namely, why drug addicts should be compensated. The human rights act was the answer, in so far as one exists.

Let's hope this is the end of it.

Derailment over, folks.

It's written in PHP a webserver language, not VB a desktop language specific to Windows and any formatting _ is written in HTML or Javascript or Java or some other formatting which browsers understand.

Read the bottom of the page. "Powered by phpBB"

Please Curvey... I've been programming for over 20 years and have been the Head of Information Technology at my company for the last 6 years. You've side tracked this topic for far too long.

Then you should know:

1) How to start an account
2) That html doesn't use [ quote ] & such like tags
3) That BB and VB are more or less the same in the use of the formatting tags

Oh, and as for me taking it off topic, have a go at Mog too who re-posted a post on topic then decided to re-post off topic again.

Instead of whining about posts being off topic, show some self control and post replies on topic instead of trying to tell people what to do while you do exactly as you please.

There's a good boy Mog.

Be happy you've got another response out of me.

Ta ta.

Watching someone being tortured is somewhat different than watching someone masterbating. One you would not want done to you and the other you have done willingly to yourself. Unless there is some drug I'm not familiar with that makes you spontanously break out in masterbation..

Sorry... what point are you making here? Do you mean that as they're asking people to either be chaste or just have loving sex, they're setting a double standard if they indulge in porn?

No, using the Catholic church as an extreme example. The church by removing masterbation as an outlet as well as making condoms unavailiable as well as making nakedness something forbidden, virtually ensures that multiple pregnancies occur as soon as the faithful get a chance. The old saw about Catholic girls has some basis in fact.
