Is pornography moral?

I think NOT viewing porn is probably immoral.

Please elaborate.

People who have sexual urges that they repress for moral/religious/whatever reasons tend to drive themselves crazy, become very on edge, or fail to think rationally.  This release-starved person then levies their crazy upon everyone else.  I see it happen all the time.  People need to be able to crank one out without feeling so damn terrible about it. 

Prudes are to blame, of course.

That's an argument for masturbation, not pornography. One doesn't necessitate the other.

Good lord, what're the poor bastards supposed to do?  Just stare at the wall?

opebo, your quote that Nathan decided to so ceremoniously immortalize in his signature is quite accurate no? 

Nathan-land.  As much fun as watching paint dry... literally.

Chances are most of the porn you watch involves young women (or men) masturbating in front of a webcam or having sex with their significant other.  Not professionally produced pr0ns.

What?  Really?  Is that the kind of weird stuff young people are into nowadays?  Good lord, the professional stuff is far better than that crap.  Like comparing Breaking Bad to watching a reality TV show.

Hear, hear!

Hey hey!  To each his own!  I quite enjoy watching a hottie play with herself in front of the webcam and I think you'd be hard pressed to call me a prude!

You know Hockeydude, I'm not sure someone in this forum has ever thought you were a prude .

On the contrary, I had a theory that American society, and Disney movies in particular, tend to convince young girls that they should be putting themselves on a pedestal and wait for Mr. Super-Perfect, and that European girls put out more because they understand that sex tends to be fun for all parties involved, even if the male is not "the one".  Well, a resident Republican decided that was evidence enough that I was only displaying frustration, and proof of my profound prudeness... when in actuality it was something I always thought about and was trying to help out someone here who had displayed some sexual frustrations.  I was taken aback by the slander... but I suppose people will think what they want.

It's fascinating to see the heavy firepower brought out here in defense of porn.

Well... if prudishness didn't have such dire consequences...
