Comments on: Why porn is bad and evil http://sparklife.info/blog/2009/03/porn-bad-evil/ Relationship and Dating Advice Wed, 08 Sep 2010 00:49:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Samuel McCrohan http://sparklife.info/blog/2009/03/porn-bad-evil/#comment-86 Samuel McCrohan Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:06:47 +0000 http://sparklife.info/blog/?p=127#comment-86 Hi, If you are referring to the article itself then the ideas expressed are obviously my personal opinions and observations but I do believe they have substance behind them. I'm not aware of any official study that has uncovered any real side-effects from porn but my personal opinion is that porn, like anything else, should be kept in moderation to be healthy to someone's own development, sexually or otherwise. :) Thanks for visiting.

Yes women logically know in this day and age that contraception renders almost all risk from sex obsolete, however we all equally know about the female emotional reaction to sex with a new person, commonly referred to as 'last minute resistance'. I purposefully refrained from tagging on the word 'main' in my analysis due to this fact, although I would say social conformity is becoming a far more prevalent factor to this discussion than the fear of pregnancy, in my generation at least. This was highlighted mostly during my University years. Fear of pregnancy is a far easier obstacle to overcome than a woman's disquietude at being branded a 'slut'. :) Thanks for your comment, Sam Hey Dirk,

As a general rule, females have not been exposed to so much pornography and therefore this is one of the reasons why women require a lot more of a connection with a man before sleeping with him." Nah, the main reason for this is that in the past women would get lumbered with a nice surprise 9 months after having sex, whereas men could go from knobbing woman to woman without the fear of a massive burden. Porn is a secondary factor, at best. Certainly not the "main reason". “I believe this is the main reason why guys will much more readily sleep with an attractive female stranger than vice versa.

I'm not sure if I was reading the wrong section but it seemed to be comprised solely of incest eroticism!! Titles such as 'Daddy's Little Slut' and 'Mother and Son Lust' are not for me thankyou. :) I think my girlfriend was more shocked by this than me... I found the way they were written rather comical. :) Sam Woh, I checked out the website that the second commenter recommended… I’m not sure if I was reading the wrong section but it seemed to be comprised solely of incest eroticism!!

I'll definitely have a read of some of those. :) I know you know the book already but for those that don't, I highly recommend the book 'My Secret Garden' by Nancy Friday... It's a compilation of real women's sexual fantasies and it has a lot of eye-openers in it that's for sure!! :) Take it easy, Sam Hey dude,

I definitely suspected more girls watch porn than they let on... I imagine it's the same sort of ratio as the number of girls who own sextoys compared to the number who admit it! :) I would actually LOVE to read more romance novels; I've barely read any! Do you have any specific recommendations? :) I definitely agree that porn can excite new ideas into someone's sexlife, however there are generally far better educational-style products available for that where you can be more trusting of its authenticity. For example... People should never use porn as an educational resource for trying advanced sexual techniques for the first time in the same way as the pornstars. Pornstars have obviously worked up to a certain level that beginners simply shouldn't try to replicate. Anal sex is a good example of this and hence most people approach something like that in completely the wrong way. As for your personal points about the perils of porn, I have to say I only strongly agree with the last one about not masturbating too much. Watching porn or making a sex tape can be a wonderful exposé in a relationship, as long as it is done correctly, with preparation and whilst in the correct state of mind. Thanks for your insights, Sam PS: Are you sure huge thingamebobs and two minute orgasms are unrealistic!?!... ahem! :) Hey Lady V,

This is something I've only noticed recently myself. Porn teaches men to believe that sex is just about sticking your dick in a woman that's physically attractive, when it's not just that. Physical attractiveness is only a small part of attractiveness. I think watching porn as a couple though is really cool. (I also think making it is cool too) I also really enjoy written porn. Like Literotica.com which is sexual fantasies. It's really awesome because you really get to use your imagination. Really Great Article Sam.

They just don't talk about it. 2) My first experience with porn was when I read one of my mother's romance novels when I was 11 or 12 (I would say this is typical for most women my age), and it was love at first read. And although you guys (well... my guy) will make fun of these awesomely awesome awesome books, I have to say that my addiction to them is solely because of the extremely graphic sex scenes (also, the only reason I buy Cosmo is for the Red Hot Read). So, chicks like me get their kicks through romance novels. *It should be noted that I think these books can be just as unrealistic as photographic or video porn. Guys have huge thingamabobs and the girl always has an orgasm within two minutes:) 3) I think looking at/reading porn is healthy in small doses. It could give you new ideas or reignite your sex drive. However, things that I think are bad and evil about porn: watching porn with your partner (you both become self-conscious), making a sex tape with your partner (you only realize how ridiculous you look during sex)(ammendment: unless you're really hot), and masturbating more than you have sex with your partner (unless you're single -- then go at it; everybody needs some lovin, even if it's self-lovin). 4) In addition to romance novels, I also seem to be addicted to using perentheses.
