Why is porn so popular? How come it is legal? Can't you get addicted to it?

Yes, you can get addicted to just about anything, and I bet it can ruin your life the same way hard drugs can. It's the same as alcohol and cigarettes - why are they legal? Because so may people use it and like it and they would be outraged if they had it taken away. People like to think that because it is legal they don't have a problem and they have this attitude that they are so much better than other addicts whose drug of choice is crack or heroin or meth. If it's legal people can feel less guilty.

This is such a hard topic. It depends on the state, or country you live in and also depends on xanga's policies. Unless that person is willing to go through alot of hot water its not wise to put porn on anything. You need legal policies, and even the most famous porn sites that show free and pay porn have lawyers and contracts.

providing that none of the porn is illegal in nature (underage, or unconsentually placed on said website).. this is entirely up to your host..\n\nmany site hosts such as angelfire, tripod.. etc.. have policies and because you are hosting on their server, have the right to shut down said website for violations.. \n\nread the terms of use on your host for further details.. \n\ni agree with the first response.. but since you asked a legitamate question i am giving you a legitamate answer.. and withholding my opinion..

Your OPINION for "les/gay porno" doesn't matter to the authorities as long as the people doing it are legal. By the way, why are you just focusing on lesbian and gay pornography? There's PLENTY more hetero sh*t on the Internet. Why not go after THEM? Loser.

Whether or not it is obscenity really has nothing to do with whether or not it should be illegal.  Just because something is a bad idea doesn't mean it is the government's job to stop you from doing it.  People need to have the freedom to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their own actions.  Obvious exceptions are when someone else is harmed (child pornography).

as a subscriber or as an owner?\n\nIf as a subscriber, probably not, the ROI is pretty poor on that.\n\nIf as a owner, and you don't have any philosophical or moral objections to doing it, agree to abide by the law and not allow kiddy porn, sure why not. Sex sells, so there is always a market.

Very good that you recognize that there is pluses and minuses to porn.  Some would argue that it is a double edged sword as some who view it may get satisfaction from it and thus leave potential victims alone.  While other may say that once viewed the chances of a person trying to enact what he has viewed on someone and this increase the rape stats.  There is a fine line where porn becomes harmful and obviously snuff films are way over the top.  Some couples enjoy viewing porn video's and/or first couple minutes anyway as a prelude to their lovemaking sessions.  Others are offended by it and can see no redeeming qualities in it at all.  I suppose it all comes down to how mature and people realizing that it all make believe while viewing.  But when the perverted or pedophiles watch such they often have difficulties separating truth from fiction and this can give porn a very bad name.

because porn is a billion dollar industry and almost anyone is tempted to click on such ad.

Of course its not good. Otherwise it turns your audience off and your porn company will find new pornstars to replace you. \n\nYour question is really tricky and it reflects on your intelligence. Many ways to answer this question but i chose the above =).

The laws regarding obscenity charges etc are not even state laws usually but are set at the local level. I live in Georgia with a similar political climate and here there is no police coming to people's homes to check for porn. What I would do though to be safe is sell any such movies online because then what you sell becomes interstate commerce and is only subject to federal law through the interstate commerce clause in the US constitution.

Well, I've never heard of anyone being addicted to happy-unless happy is some sort of new slang for a drug-and I see nothing wrong with being addicted to porn. I'm a addicted to porn too!

People got greedy I guess.  To be honest, last night is the first time I've looked at any net porn in about 3 years and I wasn't at all impressed.\n\nIts all 'tease here', 'hint there' then WHAM!!! hit em up for their credit card details.\n\nYour best bet nowadays is to borrow from your mates and burn yourself some copies. The internet is a rip-off

Dear el ....\n\nPorn is powerful stuff.\n\nIt is often addictive, sometimes when we have neglected certain areas of our lives.\n\nWhat in your life might you be neglecting ?\n\nlearning to become comfortable with being a male ?\nlearning to be connected to others "\nletting go of "boy ways" and adopting "man ways"\naccepting that "porn beauty" is mostly not real\nbecoming "ok" with the beauty that people DO have\n\nThese are some possibilities.\n\nThey are all hard work.\n\nLife as a grown man requires hard work and is often difficult.

I'm no authority, yet in my experience viewing porn as a couple is indeed harmful.\n\nFirst off, it creates an unattainable fantasy in each person's mind what normal, healthy sex entails.\n\nSecondly, porn is very addictive.  The more you indulge in it, the more hardcore stuff you need to view in order to "get off".  This can turn into a vicious cycle and lead to many problems ranging from relational problems to serious financial problems.\n\nHow do I know this? I've fought with this demon for years!

Too much of anything is bad. Same with porn. Once in a while it is fine, but being addicted is NOT. Talk to your friend, and say that u dont like it and that u cannot be a true friend if he insists on this.
