    it takes over you
    it haunts you down
    and it stop your brain from developing.
    You overstepped the mark, now I know this thread wasn't serious.

    So if porn does that, why wouldn't having sex do the same?

    Porn and real life sex is two completely different things. Everything in porn is for entertainment so the producers and the porn actresses will over exaggerate every move. They will show things that people don't necessarily do when having normal sex.

    In real life people don't have sex like that if my partner ever tried to put his hoha in the wrong place i would destory him.

    1. Are you married to your partner?

    2. If you are married why did you make a thread lusting after another man? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=1950949

    3. Why else would you have sex if not for entertainment, if it's for children do you have enough to make a football team?

    4. How come you know so much about pornography?

    yes you are right, porn is not an accurate representation of sex. just like how supermodels are not an accurate representation of women and die hard is not an accurate representation of policing. we don't ban those. if anything children should be educated on the difference. they are taught about drugs and smoking, but for supposedly harmful porn the answer is to cover it up? if teens cannot tell the difference between porn and reality, then they should be taught it.

    So then, what about pornography that doesn't show these types of things, that people don't usually do when having normal sex? That wouldn't be damaging to the mind at all?
    There are many different types of pornography - I'm sure they don't all depict the types of scenes you're referring to.

    What an absurd thread. Your definition of 'proof' certainly doesn't follow the universally accepted one. The video is biased, misleading, in no way scientific and goes against common sense.

    There are much more positive effects to porn as compared to negative effects, and this has been extensively studied - look it up yourself and stop yourself from being so ignorant and misguided.

    Most guys watch porn and most of them turn out all right. If it was so 'damaging' that wouldn't happen now would it?

    This whole issue of porn and its effects are blown way out of proportion.

    I seriously think the media is over exaggerating the negative effects of porn, its no different to watching the TV, surfing the web or doing anything else it's a form of satisfaction in relieving stress but I can understand why someone would want it under control. Spending to much time watching it can leave you feel isolated, disgusted with yourself I think there should be mature and open societies where one can speak about their addition a lot like in the video that could probably help reduce watching it so much.

    what scientific evidence show me.
    Regardless, the video had no proof and had nothing to do with damage to the brain.

    What scientific evidence is this anyway? It seems unlikely that a natural biological process would be damaging to the brain.

    Are you blind or something don't you see how porn is damaging the minds of young people its taking over their minds. Think about how bad it would be for the next generation of kids they're gonna growing up in a society were porn is available so easily.

    BTW did you even watch the video.
    lol...

    Porn is to sex, what WWE is to fighting. Porn/WWE is supposed to be theatrical, over sized and downright impossible in reality.

    It is probably worth people understanding this. If at the very least so that men don't feel hideously inadequate.

    I feel like this is only a problem is the sense that virgins hype sex up by looking at porn then are slightly disappointed after their first time. I can literally think of no other ways in which porn can be harmful aside from that. If you can even call that a 'harm'.

    I am not saying it is really harmful. I am just saying it is a lot like wrestling.

    I do think it probably does some harm aswell. If merely just for technique people learn from porn videos. Oral sex (eating pussy) in porn being a very good example of something that is designed for the camera but is not appropriate in practice.

    ??? Do you mean that cunnilingus is never appropriate, or not appropriate when done à la porn? It's... uh... pretty decent...
