I think it is very degrading to women.  I do not know why they do this and it is a question that enters my mind when I talk to a friend of mine who is into porn.  He is obsessed with this and it actually is running his entire life.  Has affairs with numerous women and has porn all over his computer.  Of course I do not respect him or the fact that he doesn't respect women, nor himself.  I feel there needs to be laws on this.  What a person does in private is his/her personal business.  But what satisfaction does a man get looking at magazines, internet, porn flicks, etc?  I honestly feel it is his real sense of inadequacy and definitely does not feel good about himself.\nWhen it comes to the sick-o man who preys on children is another sickening story which makes me ill thinking about it.  \nIf a man reads this...let us know why you need these degrading things.  You cannot be fully satisfied, otherwise you wouldn't be looking at these things.

Yes, I have used porn...although we have a healthy sex life...it is used to spice things up...some partners like or need visual stimulation and others may need vocal stimulation...it may enhance your sexual experiences...and possibly fulfill some fantasies you and your partner may have.

Ok since no one really explained it!  One of the 10 commandements states do not commit adultery...when Jesus came to prove we needed His salvation He made it harder and said that if anyone looks at another with lust has already commited adultery with them in their hearts.  So in turn pornos are bad because you are lusting after the person on screen which also means you are commiting adultery at heart.  But adultery is still a sin and sins can be forgivin if saved and baptized!

Conservatives, believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin, even thinking about sex outside of a marriage is considered a sin. Most modern religions are OK with enjoying sex, as long as it's in a marriage. Some more traditional religions sill believe that sex is only for procreation. But most of them even say you can enjoy it. \n\nSome old fashion people were taught that sex is something to be ashamed of.\n\nBut i think the biggest thing with porn is that it's a sin or it represents sins being acted on. Even religions that have nothing against masturbation, still believe that sex is something that should only be practiced with your spouse or by yourself, behind closed doors. Not with any items that represent sinful sex.

Porn sites are great for using in moderation, at the right time. To boost a couples sex life, to help a young single man with his confidence. Just don't get caught up in the "I don't do that" then hiding your history on your computer when your wife comes in! To want to look at naked women/men is perfectly acceptable. If we were all a bit more honest, the seedy side of the porn industry wouldn't be there

Some people are stimulated by visual events.  Overall, men are more like this than women, according to various serious studies of behavior.\n\nPorn is a tool of stimulation for some people, and a substitute in other people.  Other people are embarrassed, irritated or outright offended by visual or verbal depictions of sex ("pornography" was originally only in the written word).  In many parts of the world porn is forbidden by law and those who possess or create it can be punished severely.  Most societies - even those that tolerate pornography - have laws restricting certain types, such as bestiality or kiddie porn.  This among other things describes behavior those societies do not wish to endorse or encourage, particularly through visual stimulation.  I am not either condemning or encouraging porn at all in this post, by the way - the poster asked a good question that deserves an unemotional answer not tainted by ideology.

So....you  like to watch porn before sex and you have the idea that your boyfriend will think it's weird?  Umm...that's highly doubtful.  He is more likely to jump in the air and be all happy.  Though there is a Chance you might have that 1% of guys that don't like porn, chances are you have the other type of guy....who will say 'yes, my Gf likes porn'

I have a girlfriend whose ex-husband is addicted to porn.  She'd find his movies/mags between the mattresses when she changed the bed, or tucked away in his drawers when putting away laundry.  Even in the glove compartment of their family car.  She talked to him, ragged at him, but nothing would stop him.  Finally, she devised a plan.  She went to a porn shop, and bought about 100 bucks worth of stud movies and toys for HER.  She tucked Her mag between the mattress, and put her toys in the night stand drawer.  Put a few movies in the bathroom drawer.  All hidden, but easy to find by him.  WELL...he did find them, and just about came unglued.  He accused her of being unfaithful, and unsatisfied in their relationship.  He tore through the house looking for her stuff and then lite a fire and burned it.  While the fire was raging, she grabbed a bag she had stored some of his porn in and threw it in.  He got 2nd and 3rd degree burns from trying to save his crap.  While He was at the hospital.  She packed her bags and moved out. True story.  After she got counseling, she learned that 70% of men who used porn alone, disapproved of their wife's/mate watching porn alone.  It's an illness.  He won't change unless he gets help.  Sadly, he'll always have the urge.

As long as you're both comfortable with watching it, I would say no. It can spice up your sex life and possibly introduce you to new ideas, although porn sex isn't usually that realistic, especially as far as women are portrayed. If you both have no moral or religious reason not to, why not? After watching some, you can check in with each other to make sure that you're both still comfortable and not jealous or anything like that.

first to begin with sex was given to husband and wives to express their love and commitment to each other. your body was not meant to be shared with everyone it is supposed to be a gift to your spouse.\n\npornography destroys the real meaning of sex, it opens you up to the devil and his plans to destroy our souls.\n\nbottom line pornography is sinful.

Addictions are serious things to leave.  Viewing pornography is very addictive and you need help to get out of it.  Talk with your husband and install some parental control on your PC, with the only condition that you will set the password protection in it, so he cannot turn it off.\nIt's not impossible and it can be done.  Just make sure you are both in the same page, otherwise its going to bring you a lot of misery and shame.

I don't know about you sweetie, but an addiction is an addiction, and he is addicted.  Marriage is Respect, Admiration Passion and Trust.  For sure the first two are not there, since this is grinding on you.  And Passion is a bit tuff, if he oogles 13 year old girls on the computer,,, eeewwwwww.   You may trust him not to betray you by cheating, but hey, I trust my dog too. You don't have a marriage, you just don't know it yet.  You have a rommate..... Porn addiction is about the toughest thing of all to cure. ..... next question is why did you marry this jerk???? and in my eyes, any guy addicted to porn is a jerk.  How do you not find this disgusting????  And why are you still there????  In your place, I'd dump him and get out of this marriage.....You'll only grow to resent this crap as the years go on.... If you have children, you want this guy to be their father?????Sorry, sweetie, you asked

I completely agree, I got involved with sex when I was 11, completely ruined my life! I was stuck with images ruining my thinking trace and everything!\nI even found that scientists have proved, that just seeing a pornographic picture and completely change the way your brain cells are functioned.\nChildren don't need their brains to be changed at an age where they're still learning, they don't even need to see anything about it unless it's with their spouse.
