Ok, this is my last response in this board for a long time to come. A question for Nisus : I'd be interested to know how old you were when first exposed to hardcore porn? I ask this question because I'm wondering if it may have shaped your current worldview? In my opinion (no doubt you will correct ...

Ok, folks, that's that. Nisus is going away. Yes, that's that: you can be glad now, because the "pessimistic", "sexist" and "retarded" troll is going away, and he doesn't know if life will let him come back. Why am I going? None of your business, but don't think I'm 'gi...

Camus , thanks for your answer, and I recognize that I have been really a bit harsh and extreme. What happens is that I really think that porn is an industry dedicated to the sexual abuse of women, and nothing gets more on my nerves than seeing women and children being abused... But you're right: n...

Again, you bring an interesting point in your post, Morpheus: porn is a very powerful industry these days. Online or offline we are exposed to it every single day. No surprise so many people get 'addicted'.

Ok, Camus , after this last response of your I've come to think that I might have sound a bit prejudiced and extreme. So let me clear some things up: First off, when I say that porn is base, humiliating and disgusting I don't mean to offend the people who make it. Obviously, I'm no better than them ...

You brought some interesting questions in this post, Morpheus...

Now let's see if Camus answers them (and if he will finally explain why "pornography does moe harm than good")...

Go on believing that prostitutes and porn actresses 'choose' their life style, Artistic. Go on believing that they are more than objects to be used by men. That's exactly what the genuine woman-haters want you to believe...

Agreed. Grown women can do what they damned well please, as long as it is legal. What worries me is exploitation -- of children, especially, and yes I sound like a broken record on that point. And what's the difference between abuse of children and abuse of women? Is a porn director less despicable...

Thanks for your posts full of misogyny, Artisticsolution. Funny that one of the most famous 'woman haters' of this board is the only one who comes here to expose porn as the male industry that it is, huh? :roll: I 'respect' women much more than you, a woman, do. And if you really believe that the '...

I have a theory to explain why many men watch porn. I think the habitual watcher of porn is a concealed homosexual male who hates women and likes to see them being beaten, humiliated, mistreated. They act just like that man who likes to see his woman being fucked by other guy: what he really wanted...

Talking about arguments, can you offer me a single one to demonstrate the relation between these women's qualifications and their not being used as objects (and therefore abused) by porn? Can you tell me what can possibly make you believe that porn is not a male industry dedicated to promoting sexu...

Women are not naturally inclined to drown in the sort of depravity we see in porn movies. And when they become porn actresses, it's because they want money , not because they feel pleasure by participating in the base scenes. Everything about porn is directed at males. How a woman can feel 'pleasure...

I do not actually understand what's the 'pleasure' a man seeks in porn, since the scenes are totally artificial and the situations described impossible to happen in practice. It's hard to imagine a woman capable of submitting herself to such a humiliating situation in the real world (i.e, when mone...

Nissus you are such a happy chappy, you understand the futility of existance as we know it, but rather than saying "fuck it, it's a short short game" you agonise over the inevitability of a prescribed outcome. I have said to you before that all we have is now, not yesterday and certainly ...

One of our basic mistakes is to think that we can control life, or will, when it's in fact the exact opposite that happens, i.e., we are controlled by life. We are slaves to life, slaves to the will to live. That means that we will go on living whenever life remains possible, notwithstanding the di...
