Re: Pornagraphy and Disability

I don't understand what 'disabled' has to do with anything. Disabled people get married all the time. If married, the two of them will find ways to share their love with each other. If not married..... well, then you are bound by the same guidelines as any other unmarried person.

I really don't get the premise of the question at all.

None of us did. But we understood what was probably beneath the question

The topic isn't TV, it's pornagraphy, hence it's not out of context.

Yeah, it has turned into a good discussion, but I'm still scratching my head at the original question.

It is a terrible situation. One where people are bound by carnal nature. There are many reasons and situations that lead to this. I was first exposed at age 4 or 5 through my dad's magazines. I remember showing them to my brother who is a year younger and trying to teach him to whistle.

My own son saw an add in a car magazine at the grocery store. He obviously memorized the web address. Because days later he completly crashed our desktop pc. The PC sat in the middle of the living room...but he still managed a brave curious moment and was exposed to terrible things. The pop up adds overan our system. I still haven't got it completly repaired.

Porn may not be healthy to people, but so is eating too much.

Is the broken pc the punishment for the sin? Nope. Porn and the trappings of it are too available to any individual, kids notwithstanding. I am not saying I would use it, but I think the abuse of a thing is worse than the thing itself. Can it be managed by individuals? Sure it can, but so can alcohol. Both are deemed extremely addictive by most studies. I guess it comes down to if you are married and you both are ok with it who am I to tell you differently. Even if I did it would only be opinion not anything more.

How you figure? Over eating can and does more damage than one would like to admit. I know some people that are so severaly unhealthy that it is damaging their family and their life as a whole. While porn is extremely addictive I would be willing to bet that in America being addicted to food and being addicted porn are in close competition with each other. You disagree? I am not saying they are exactly the samething, but they are both very unhealthy.
