Evils of Pornography
07/01/2008 (In Your Face)
According to the Legal Beagles, Porn is the gratuitous display of sex, that serves no redeeming social purpose and is therefore, NOT ALLOWED. It has nothing of value, and as such is something that needs to be stamped out. Like yeah, I believe that… NOT.
Pornography, or the wanton depiction of people engaged in wanton sex is nothing new. It has existed from the early cave paintings to the latest release by Bel Ami. Yet, the Conservatives seem hell bent on making Porn something to hate, to consign to the trash, that it is something good decent folks don’t view, or have. Course, unless you happen to be a Politician or some Evangelist Preacher. Then, well it is different.
Simple truth is that the greatest collection of these so called pornographic images, is in the Vatican. Now, why do you suppose they have the largest collection? To deny it from the common folk? Or are they afraid of it making people realize that sex is not dirty, but a totally natural act?
In reality, Pornography does have some basic redeeming qualities, least in my opinion. I mean, it is a stimulant, it gives those who watch it, the ability to get in the mood. I mean I am married, and yet the wife enjoys whacking off, and well, it isn’t like I am going to walk around naked 24/7 just so he can get aroused. So yeah, he likes to watch some porn, view some hot sexy pictures, to get himself in the mood, to stimulate not just his natural urges, but to get the old imagination working.
And that isn’t a bad thing either. I mean if it makes him think of different guys, different situations, or expands his thinking a little, how can that be bad? Now it doesn’t make him want to go out and cheat on me, it doesn’t make him want to have some sort of weird sex either. Nor does it make him want to hire a prostitute, or make someone into a sex slave.
For some people, the ability to jerk off, to get aroused, is a way for them to find release. It is a way for them to escape from the day to day drudgery of life. It can help ease a feeling of depression, of anxiety. To let one go, to experience the natural physical release that sex is, well, that isn’t a bad thing. Sex, without love maybe not as intense, but it is a release none the less. Pornography is something that helps stimulate that purely physical aspect of sex. It isn’t dirty, it isn’t deviant, it is simply a tool to help a person be aroused.
For those who say Pornography gives a wrong impression, the simple truth is, that if a person already has a sick mind, pornography or some violent video game isn’t going to make them act it out. They are already disposed to doing that, and it can be a simple news clip about some Preacher getting caught with his pants down, that can trigger a sicko. So do we ban the News too?
