Men who don't watch porn

I do not believe all men watch porn.

However I wonder why they dont with it now being the "norm"?

Was there never any interest in the first place? Has it lost its shine? Is it a for feminist reasons?

Or is it more of a case of resisting temptation? As in they do want to watch but guilt and/or morals stop them? Fear of being caught?

We live in a time when we are constantly fed the message all men watch porn so nobody ever discusses those that don't watch it.

what about the people who are forced into the industry, how hard is it for them to leave?

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:12

Off the top of my head, Dani Daniels, Bonnie Rotten, Kristina Rose, Belladonna.

To me they're pornstars, it's their job if you will.

I have never heard of ANY of those people.

mrs, I think you're right.

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:15

I do not know of any pornstars, as in the ones i listed being forced into porn.

Obviously people being forced into porn is disgusting and i wouldn't class that as porn, more rape and slavery.

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:16

Ive just googled, Bonnie Rotten calls herself "barely legal bad girl" charming.

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:17

you dont think they were manipulated or bullied into it? really? you think they said "I know, I'm going to do porn" when they were thinking about what to do with their lives?

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:18

ok, have googled. not one of those women are mainstream or famous outside of the porn industry.

Selfdoubt · 12/12/2012 19:18

So basically, you know fuck all about the porn industry and just assume/be ignorant for the sake of a quick wank?

I refer back to my earlier suggestion of doing some serious long research into the goings on in the porn industry, and the knock on effects it has.

Oh, and also do some research of the internal damage these women end up with, then not bothered with anymore. Seriously, look into how these women (and men) are treated, how anyone can condone that just because a few are legal and done correctly, by watching it is beyond me. The only reason children/women can even be treated this way to begin with, is because of demand from people like you who watch it.

Really, think about it. Why do you need it? Why can't you use your imagination?

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:19

Yeah i think they decided to get into porn off they're own back, i have no evidence to think they weren't.

anyway, time to go offline, Boy needs to go to bed and I have things to do. I wish that I could say that shoes has been given something to think about, but...

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:20

Let me see if they're on Twitter and I'll ask them directly if they're happy etc.

do you not think that they have to uphold that persona? that "I'll do anything you want, big boy" act?

I dont know if you are naive or just obtuse.

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:24

I have never seen a minor in the porn i have seen. Sold on dvds in the likes of Ann Summers.

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:26

Surely though its best to ask the person we're talking about if everything is ok? Instead of presuming they're happy or unhappy.

Lowlife lol i am confident enough in the law that it doesn't let minors star in porn films, unless you've got evidence that minors are doing porn?

just because you dont watch it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. you are supporting this industry. the industry that (if you have read the links) exploits and abuses youngsters. and what's worse is that you are trying to say that our husbands also support it.

Selfdoubt · 12/12/2012 19:29

Yes, because people who are abused, exploited etc go around wearing a huge sign saying so...

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:31

you are talking about one person. and they wouldnt give you an honest answer. did you read the blog by the girl who was forced into porn here I'm sure she told everyone that she was fine.

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:31

So we should just presume they're exploited?

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:32

assume that they are in a profession that routinely exploits and abuses, and its more likely that they ARE being exploited (even if they dont realise it) than not.

Shoesme · 12/12/2012 19:32

How can you say what a woman will or won't say?

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 12/12/2012 19:33

well, you seem capable of speaking for all men....
