Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

[tackattack]

There may be where you are, but porno actresses aren't considered "real actress" in this part of the world. There's a societal bias there that's tangible to me. I'm not going to bother trying to justify it with numbers, because it's not the focus of the conversation. I agree with you it just shows bias. The word, industry and demand for born, realistically won't ever cease. My point was that the creation of the word, bigotry and lack of equality contribute vastly to the continuing separation of the class gap between the porn industry and other industries.

I know there's no indication that just because you're attracted to young women (18-21) that you'll turn into a pedophile. But I'll guarantee that pedophiles are porn addicts attracted to young women and child pornography. You may think that the release they get from viewing child porn is less abhorrent than them acting out their fantasies (Which I agree with). But that completely ignores the victimization of the children forced into this industry to support the fortification of those fantasies. It hold no accountability to the industry that encourages those fantasies (like your example of portraying of age women as younger than consensual age). I think if the porn industry would put some PR and distance(in age range) between their youngest legal stars and the illegal ones for a few years, it might do them some good towards being seen as a more productive part of society.

The thalamus in the limbic system ('leopard brain') converts the physical need into an urge within the cortex. It is, in effect, saying 'Hey, do something! You have an unfulfilled need!' Cognitively-driven urges have a similar effect, where internal imaginings trigger an urge response.

Urges are, quite literally, urgent. They have priority and force other matters aside. They are frequently felt as a kind of 'emptiness', typically felt physically as a gnawing feeling in the abdomen.

Feeding the urge with continuous fantasies while that simultaneously is in conflict with urge to be socially excepted/moral is like handing a can of soda to a man who's hands are uncontrollably shaking. Until individuals can do away with the desire to be graphically aroused (as opposed to physical) to escape feeling like a social pariah, there's not going to be an easy solution. That's why I feel erotica has it's place for the sake of artful enjoyment, it's intent shouldn't be for shock or arousal. I feel sexual arousal should be consigned to sexual actions and not hiding in your head and kept to yourself..
