Just so we’re clear, the sentence of yours that you’ve chosen to quibble and lifted out of my post, I still state as before, as in the context of your earlier statements:
- Internet porn is easily available (true)
- Most men not being vehemently against it (reference?)
Does not equal
‘Yes most men are going to use porn when they masterbate’
I asked for a reference.
You yourself have decided to extend ‘vehemently against it’ into ‘deep moral offence’.
There are a number of reasons men may be vehemently against porn. They may also be non-vehemently against porn, but still against it. Here are some reasons why, besides ‘deep moral offence’.
-It irreparably damages their sexual function
-Which also has an effect on their relationship with their spouse or partner
-It creates an expectation of the kind of sexual experience their daughters will receive in their own relationships at the hands of a generation of young men
-It creates a demand in their sons of the kind of sexual experience they will seek from young women
-It exploits and degrades women on a massive scale
-It exploits and degrades men
-They have a ‘deep moral offence’ - in all the ways you did, and in all the ways you didn’t, mean.
You say it would be a good thing if most men took deep moral offence at porn and didn’t use it. Do you take deep moral offence and abstain from porn use? Or perhaps you take deep moral offence and don’t abstain? Or perhaps you don’t take deep moral offence and don’t abstain? I wouldn’t want to conflate the two...
