internet pornography

[legend759]

i saw a programme on bbc3 about young guys in the uk who are addicted to porn online.
now is it just me but i dont think its normal.
these guys were spending all their free time waching porn.
seems strange that they would waste time watching porn as their youth escapes them.
plenty of time for porn when theyre old i would think.
they should be out enjoying themselves with real women surely?
any opinions?

Its like most other things, in moderation its healthy and normal but when its an excess and affects your life then its definitely a problem. I couldnt agree with you more, they should be enjoying the real thing. IMO a person who spends all their free time watching porn will struggle to have a normal sexual relationship and will believe everyone has sex like they do in pornos. Its perfectly natural to be curious about it, but they will learn alot more about sex from actually having some.

if it was normal they wouldn't make a documentary about it.

I saw a documentary about this a few years ago. I was horrified that a 10 year old boy had tried to rape a younger girl because he thought that girls 'wanted it' - having watched hours and hours of hard core porn. He really had a distorted view about female sexuality.

Not healthy at all.

I saw parts of this, and from what I could see, we weren't dealing with very confident teens (and how many are?). Porn seemed to be an outlet for them where they could 'experience' women without having to actually open themselves and their insecurities up.
I don't think an interest in porn is unhealthy, but when you use it as the blueprint behind how you interect with the opposite sex then you're in trouble.
What were the parents up to?
Anyway, got to go, Shaving Ryan's Privates has just finished downloading.

I seem to be here forever saying that I think porn is a dangerous thing - it can get out of hand. Nobody ever really seems to agree with me, everyone thinks its normal. I think it can be very devisive. It can also lead to secrets and lies when used in a relationship. I think the whole thing has gone too far, you see far more on tv than you ever used to, a lot of music videos are soft core porn nowadays and people of all ages have access to that, even children. I said before I think its addictive and I guess this backs that up.

[Supernick]

I think pornography only has an element of danger in the same way that any other potential addictions do. Anything taken to extremes, whether it be the well broadcast issues such as alcohol, gambling and sex, to the less well known ones such as texting, or dieting can be a problem if it begins to rule your life.
Pornography can be entertaining and fun, both as an individual or as a couple, but when young teenagers are concerned, parents need to be responsible for monitoring what their children are doing.
