In your opinion, is pornography a positive thing, or a negative thing?
I'm gonna wait and hear your viewpoints on the subject before I give my opinion.
Also, keep it PG-13. Even though the topic is on pornography, that doesn't mean I want you posting actual pornography in this thread.

Bad. I think anyone who enjoys looking at pornographic material either has a mental issue of some sort or is an indecent person in general. Sorry, but I've got no time or compassion for anyone who chooses to engage in pornography, especially those who enjoy looking at child abuse material. It isn't a healthy state of mind and by no means should it ever be considered acceptable.

The stuff I watch is good.
On a serious note, I have not noticed any negative effects and it has many positives, namely it being entertaining and a method to relieve one's self (as opposed to say anonymous sex or rape), so I think it is a good thing.

Not sure about women, but on all the book reading websites I go on all the top books are erotica for women, so I doubt it's much less.

99.9999% of men watch porn. Wut My exact thoughts. I wonder where SP plucked that % from?  No doubt the percentage would be in favour of men watching porn (FYI I have no interest in this sort of activity!  ), but there would be quite a lot of women out there who would also watch it regularly I’d imagine.

Well I know for a fact that I have never watched porn and I think most men out there can honestly say the same thing. No offence, but I don't see why people would choose to engage in an activity which attracts paedophiles and the lowest of scumbags in society. It's pretty sad that there are people out there who risk ruining their reputation and their livelihoods simply due to how desperate they are to see nudity.

You all need to take several seats. My number wasn't far off www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/experimentations/201802/when-is-porn-use-problemTo better understand how these factors interact, Daspe and colleagues (2018) recruited people in relationships to complete an online survey about pornography use, relationship and sexual satisfaction, and other factors. In terms of basic results, they found that 73 percent of women and 98 percent of men reported internet porn use in the last six months, for a total of 85 percent of respondents. For porn use within the last week, the numbers were lower: 80 percent of men and 26 percent of women.

pornography itself isn’t bad. it’s only a problem when you’re addicted to it.

Personally I don't know a lot about porn. I've only ever viewed it accidentally as it doesn't interest me. I'm not sure if I've ever shared this here but I consider myself to be on the asexual spectrum I voted "bad" though if I had the option, I would've preferred "depends" or some neutral leaning towards negative option. According to various accounts I've read, it is said that porn desensitizes the brain so it is not as excited by more realistic images or encounters. I'm not saying this is universally true or anything, but I find it concerning if true for some individuals. The aspect I feel I can more personally comment on, since it is not exclusive to porn, is how these visuals shape our perception of what bodies are supposed to look like. The hairless female ideal can reasonably credited to porn and I do think this can be damaging. I'm sure males have their own, err, insecurities that can develop as well. I'm far from a "ban porn, born is bad" type of person. I believe in personal choice; I have no idea what anyone else's needs are. But we are also at a time where it has never been this readily available before, and thus this normalized. Considering there are people reporting it to have negatively affected them, I'm not sure it's a risk free behavior. Perhaps it's similar to alcohol in the sense that some have no problem with it and others do.

That's only a sample statistics result, it shouldn't be perceived as being representative of the views the greater population have at large. The only true method in which you would get an accurate measure on the acceptance of pornography would be to conduct a census or at the very least, carry out a sample survey where people from a number of different backgrounds were asked (instead of just couples between the ages of 18-35). Also, there's always going to be a degree of uncertainty over the validity of internet surveys. How do we know that the people responding to the survey were being 100% honest?
