What a bunch of bullshit .

[Fairweather Pure]

That was great There are some gems in there for sure!

I like this one:

The makers of porn know that the erotic images stored in the male brain are so potent that they can be activated merely by a word, a woman walking by, or a passing thought.

HaHa. I think they give pornographers WAAAAAAY too much credit. If what he proclamis has even one shred of truth, no matter how tiny, half the men on the planet would be drooling idiots, and fucked up beyod all hope. Just look at these "facts"...

Nearly all men who view pornography use it as the stimulus for masturbation. As a result they frequently suffer feelings of guilt, shame, regret and humiliation.

Many men become addicted to pornography and lose their freedom. They feel trapped, out of control, and in despair. They literally become slaves to their own lust.

Pornography places men on an emotional roller coaster. One minute they’re happy, the next they’re sad; calm, then angry; kind, then cold. These moods change without warning, causing stress and pain for wives, children, friends and associates. Feelings of estrangement ensue, further isolating and alienating them from their loved ones, which often drive men even deeper into the self-medicating escape of pornography.

Men isolated on the slippery slope of pornography typically fail in their families and marriages, and in their relations with people in general. They are less effective, less reliable, less creative, and more prone to meanness and fits of anger. In essence, pornography turns men into zombie-like characters who are but a shadow of their true selves and potential. They waste their time, talents and resources, caught up in their own dark little world of pornography viewing.

In the advanced stages, pornography addiction can lead a man to commit rape, incest, violence, exhibitionism, other sex-related crimes and even suicide. Millions of men have lost their families, their careers, their reputations, their good names, and their freedom just to satisfy their addiction.

Pornography can take an immensely good, talented, enthusiastic man and turn him into one of the walking dead.

This person has a lot of balls making some of those claims. This guy is making money of the righties and religious zelots by telling them exactely what they want to hear.

[Sionistic]

I bet you a dollar they are either catholic(sp?), christian, or some similar following.

Porn addicts trying to overcome their addiction say that pornographic images will pop into their minds at the worst times: in church, during prayer, during a job interview, while chatting with a son or a daughter, and, worst of all, amid intimate relations with their wife.

jesus christ, the author has the nerve to call that one reader ignorant?

Another common problem for men addicted to porn is that they become walking time bombs that can be set off at any time and without warning. In truth, no woman or child is entirely safe around a pornoholic.

tis true... my bomb went off this morning after 40minutes of building up, im so ashamed

I work at a cutting edge company where they play short 5 minute porn clips at various times throughout the day to keep their employees in a happy state.

I hope you get long breaks so you can go rape the nearest woman or molest the first child you see!

Krispy Kream? Jack in the Box? Krispy is on the market now you know.

[Voronwë]

Krispy Kreme was like the best IPO so far this year i think =)

[Winnow]

They've been around since 2000! : ) It was a great stock up until 2002 : ) two splits!

[Animalor]

Krispy Kreme makes me wanna get off.

I feel sad now.

[Sabek]

So it is with men who immerse themselves in the me-first/pleasure/orgasm-centered world of Internet pornography. They keep everything for themselves. They even have sex with themselves, filling the role of both man and woman to reach sexual climax. Like the selfish sea, they can become truly dead in their desires and capacities to love, lift and serve those around them.

This is a nice quote.

[Deward]

Well I guess I am fucked. Wonder how long it will take me to commit suicide.

This guy has no touch with reality. I am surprised he had time to write the article between bible thumping meetings. I think I will just imagine him getting hit by a bus. doh! now I have damaged my brain again!! damn imagination!!!


Deward

[Pilsburry]

Come on he said a lot more BS then I have ever put in one post, you guys need to try harder.

I'm pretty sure Winnow was joking BTW, any company that plays 5 min porn clips during the work day is asking for sexual harassment lawsuits unless it's a porn company. BTW can someone who works in the porn industry sue for sexual harrassment?

I think the only people of lower intelligence other than the writer of this article is the people who write the porn spam I get in my e-mail....you ever read that shit? I mean like the subject line....I don't usually open it up. I'd post some examples but I put a few porn filters on my e-mail and set it to purge the deleted items when I close outlook....and I just closed it recently. I'm sure I'll have a bunch more any minute tho.

Pornography is only evil because the religious zealots say so. In most places magazines like playboy and shit aren't even really considered porn....because you can see that stuff on the beach. You don't hear of someone freaking out and raping people on beaches in europe etc....

I can only say one thing about Mr. Mark Kastleman judging by the amount of intelligence and willpower he attributes to the rest of the males in this universe.....you can make assumptions about his intelligence and willpower. IE get a hot stripper to his office and you can probably make him do anything you want like a fucking puppet.

Ya think?

[Sionistic]

no really pil, i really didnt know any of that

[Winnow]

Please never doubt what I say as anything but the absolute truth. This is an actual photo of me watching one of the porn clips.



Notice that we must keep our arms, hands/paws on our desks at all times while watching the clips. BTW, my company is also experimenting with showing female workers short clips of shopping sprees in Malls as an alternative to the porn clips as a source of motivation and emotional stimulus.

[Karae]

I've been sucked into porn's cauldron of lust. =( Who wants to cyber?

[Lalanae]

This is an actual photo of me watching one of the porn clips.

Just to let everyone know, I met Winnow in Vegas and he didn't really look like that. He is trying to fool all of you.

[Karae]

I live in a fantasy world where I have an 8 1/2 inch dick too. :/

[Niffoni]

Warning:

Having deep-seeded hang-ups about sex and masturbation can cause a buildup of frustrations and ignorance that can warp the mind to the point that it all explodes in a terrible mass of verbal bullshit designed to scare easily-panicked conservative religious groups into sending you money

[Nadonius]

Sounds like something you'd read at

[Animalor]

Those landover people are seriously fucked up.

While I was rooting around for picts of Lalanae, I found this totally unrelated page of goth people.

Maybe some wannabe goth types can find some styles that you want to try out on your pale faced partners! It's Friday and you know you don't want to work! Waste some time!

[Diae Soulmender]

I think, after reading that dribble, I am dumberer.

[Sometimes]

In her book An Affair of the Mind, Laurie Hall shares the true-life story of her husband Jack, who had been severely addicted to pornography for over 20 years. She writes:

After indulging in fantasy for more than 20 years, Jack lost his ability to think about anything else. Dwelling so much on that which wasn’t true made him unable to think about that which was true. He lost his common sense and his ability to solve problems.

My husband, once a brilliant engineer, couldn’t even figure out how to turn a freezer so it would fit through the door into the cellar. He was absentminded in the extreme. He’d turn on the stove to make tea, forget to put the kettle on, and just walk out of the kitchen with the burner glowing red. He’d put wood into the wood stove and leave the door open, causing chimney fires. In the morning, it wasn’t unusual to find the outside door standing wide open. He’d have gone out for something the night before and forgotten to close it when he came in.

Sometimes, when someone would ask him a question, he would start to answer, only to stop halfway into the reply and then freeze with his mouth open. His mind had gone completely blank.

Jack always said he wanted other people to think he had it all together. So, for a long time, when other people were around, he’d manage the Herculean effort of staying focused enough so that only the most alert could see that he wasn’t tracking well. In the end, though, his checking out became apparent to people besides the children and me.

Too much time fantasizing meant that he also lost his ability to do his work well. Finally, the man who was recognized three times as an outstanding employee was fired for being incompetent and lying to his boss. Once a regional manager for a large company, overseeing millions of dollars worth of equipment and managing half a dozen men, Jack had an expense account, a cellular phone, a company vehicle, and a comfortable middle-class salary.

Today, he is doing production work, packing 12-ounce bags of chocolates at $7.25 an hour. He stands at an assembly line seven-and-a-half hours a day, catching bags that come off the machine at a rate of 71 a minute. Then he puts them into boxes—24 to a box. Sometimes he scrapes chocolate off the factory floor. And every day when he leaves home, he carries his briefcase.

If he forgets it, he comes back in to get it. He needs to remember what he was before he was brought to a piece of bread by means of a whorish woman. (Proverbs 6:26)

Need I say more?

[Mplor]

Yup this guy's telling his audience what they want to hear.

I do think that in some cases pr0n addiction can be symptomatic of more serious psycho-sexual issues. However, prn0 does not cause those problems. At worst, porn can expose existing but latent issues.

Hm, I think too much about porn. Wait, is that possible?

[Drustwyn]

A girl in one of my communications classes gave an excellent speech on the benefits of pr0nography, how it can help marriages, etc. She was actually quite persuasive, dispelling so many of the cheesey 'facts' about pr0n.

[Xaem]

Porn is a very sickening thing.

And in reasonings such as this, which advocate several aspects of one's "moral inquisition" in accordance to porn advocate many other "absolute truth" messages, and in doing so really dissipates the real reason why porn is so sickening.

Even though it is sickening, its used as a stimulus for sexual pleasure for people all the time, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely not a good thing.

[Pilsburry]

I was addressing the person by the name of deneve that asked what line of work Winnow was in.....

Karae you need a better fantasy life if you only have an 8 1/2 inch cock in it....

Give yourself atleast 10 inches.....

Or 9 inches and a really nice car....

[Soreali]

Ummmm...?

Leman terms:

These reasons of why porn is "Bad" really suck and the person who wrote them included no insight to any real evidence.

[Lalanae]

Please tell me English is not your first language. Your sentence structure is hideous I can't figure out what you are trying to say. And its "layman's terms" not "Leman terms"

[Xaem]

God. Yes. It can't POSSIBLY be my vocabulary selection that's throwing you off, merely my sentence structure. How much more linear can one's explanation get? Don't derail the topic.

How about this instead:

The reasons presented by this article of why porn is bad are extremely silly and inconclusive.

And yea, it's "Layman's terms", my mistake.

[Winnow]

Even though it is sickening, its used as a stimulus for sexual pleasure for people all the time, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely not a good thing.

What the hell are you saying? Spit it out man! "it's used as a stimulus for sexual pleasure" Did you get out of sex-ed an hour before writing that?

[Cali]

Amusing how they assume only men indulge in porn.

Harliquin Romance novels sell millions and no one blinks an eye.
