Ow wow...it's a good thing I don't have kids...if I did, I would not mind letting my son watch whatever they wish online : )


WHY???

There is a science behind my choices when it comes to taking care of kids. Feel free to look it up, and you'll find that a simple, "shutup" to the kid at a young age HAS SO MUCH IMPACT in the future.

...I won't go off topic with that, but according to what I have learned/read/researched for "fun"(for the sake of others...especially youngsters)...I am glad these kids are finding sources for such content.

Call me stupid/swear at me all you like, you would not beleive what happens (in a good way) to kids if they search these things...and you would NOT BELEIVE what happens (in a bad way) what happens if there is an immediate "shut down" of such content.

I have studied things like this, my neighbors come to me when they find what their son is really doing on the comp/in the shower or what their daughter is doing as well.

It's like economics, with good economics, kids searching these things, gain something, (in the long run)...but an immediate HALT on "trade"...the economy will dwindle, and truth be it, no matter how much you may deny it, such searches for people does in fact HELP people. Not in the ways you think, but...

ANSWER THIS: Would you rather have your son viewing these things on the computer...or do you want them, to become obsessive/shy/afraid/incompetent/socially inept??

For one small negative thing such as this...there is soooo much proving that letting this small thing go by...causes positive things in the long run...BUT A QUICK "HALT" on such content, can have disasterous effects.

Uhmmm...I am making a blog, helping parents be good parents : )
What else should I add?? Are you a person that yells at your child for that he/she gets bad grades...? Well wow, you will love to visit this blog of mine then. : )

I love helping others help their children in the long run. Some simple things can cause such disasterous(can't remember spelling) things to a persons mentality that an immediate halt on such things, as said before, will NOT HELP in the long run, but INSTEAD HARM.

Well I will make a note when my blog is up and running. : )
Self help, for you and YOUR child's help!

The problem with that attitude is that there's a risk of the child growing up with unrealistic expectations of what it will be like, and how to act. There was a TV show on a similar issue not that long ago, and the fact is, it places enormous pressure on youngsters to conform to what they've seen online. Let's be honest, children do like to imitate others, especially those they think are cool. So let me ask you this: would you rather your child was allowed free access to the 'net and idolising porn actors, or watching stuff like Blue Peter, putting what they've seen on there in to practice, and going outside and having fun?

Call me old fashioned, but come the time when I've got these decisions to make, my child is NOT going to have free-reign on the internet, xbox, tv, etc. I'm sure there are plenty of like-minded people out there who agree.

Frankly, I'm disgusted that even the concept of sex is entering the minds of the lower-teens.

Coincidentally, I started writing a load more than this, and found the following insightful article on the Guardian (broadsheet newspaper in the UK) online: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...-sex-addiction ... A good read, and addresses quite a few issues here. And I agree with it. (yeah yeah, I hate writing long forum posts in that tiny box... go read!)

[jmcgowan]

I would have to agree with sharky on this one. Growing up the mischevous little boy that I did, I did my fair share of web surfing for porn (back when surfing the web was new and exciting, and web 1.0 wasn't even defined yet!), and when I look back at my life, I wish I never had. Now it helps to explain things to know that I am a conservative Christian and feel that porn is truly wrong. Porn has caused more problems in my life than it has entertainment or satisfaction. At times in my life I've had to fight the temptation to view women as mere objects to be stared at and oggled. I've known and seen people who don't share my worldview that accept porn as an essential part of their lives, and they completely objectify women and don't really see them as people. It's terrible. I would rather admire my wife and enjoy her in every way I can than stare at a screen and let it skew my view of the fairer gender.

[John Klyne]

In my opinion, NO ONE should be with someone that they don't find a spark in.
I beleive that the viewing of different people with clothes or no clothes on, developes a child's brain, to see that, there is just a wide range of people to choose from.

It lets them see all the people in the world, what their traits are, and what they do in certain situations. It developes the ideal guy or girl in the viewers mind. This is then used to determine if person x or y is the best choice for person z to sleep with.

Lets take a random hot girl from the mall.

she is tall, beutiful natural brown hair, tight pants, with rips in them...with a diamond necklace, 2k purse...following her around is a guy carrying her bags...from a dozen stores....blah blah blah...blah...blah...blah and so on...I gather all that information in a couple seconds glance...

I then go and strike a conversation, and bam, I hear what her voice sounds like...I get her to speak louder, and softer, or until I can here where her voice cracks in a 5 minute conversation.

I then have a drink with her, or sit with her on a bench...

JUST FROM THAT INFORMATION, according to past real life experiences...or what I have seen when I was younger (I admit ...you know...)

Just from spending a seconds glance, at her looks...I infer these things...
tall...at least I don't have to get down all the way...

natural brown hair...at least she isn't hiding gray hair/ she feels confident...showing not just anyone can start to arouse her..

tight pants, well, she had a thong on as you can clearly see...
pants with rips in them, just means it is easier to get into them...with soo many entrances.

Diamond necklace, loves money/what it represents to a girl, "power" the ability for the man to provide and take care of her...2k purse...she is deffinately packing some condoms...

guy carrying her bags...just means that he has def. seen her change...

well whats this tell us...with the clothes the person wears, I can literally predict what actions she will take in bed. What I need to show I have, (that I don't really have) in order to get her...(show power/money...in a way/represent it)...she had great looking hair and they were soo soft...means that no matter what happens, in bed or after bed in the morning, she will be in the bathroom, washing her hair, or taking a shower washing her hair...meaning that I can def slip in and have some fun in the shower or bathroom with the person....

if it was not for what I have seen, in the past, and what I have learned from what I have seen or experienced...I would not be able to tell what would happen if I was with that person, but now I am...I know what is going to happen, and thus...it lets me choose do I want to do that again, or do I want to do something else...or do I want someone who yells less, or does not yell at all...do I want to take my time digging down the pants or will I be able to just get in, do I need to buy a condom or do I need to simply let her know that we will be using hers...is it easy to get her, if she drinks a couple of times, or should I just try to act like she doesn't matter so I can get her that way...

with how a person looks, and sits on a bench, I can tell which positions would be best, and which would be less pleasurable for her...do I want to be with that, or do I not?

there are many things a person can learn, though this may not make sense, and the grammer or spelling may be horrible, I bet at least half of what I say makes sense...and that without prior knowledge or viewing...I would not be able to determine if I want person x or person y...someone who sits this way...or lays down that way...

Not sure if such content is allowed on this forum, if not, please delete this post, but I hope everyone understands what I am trying to let everyone know...that you don't ahve to settle for something you don't like or want to do, if you have prior knowledge or "viewage"

Thanks, from John Klyne! : )

Dude... What porn are you watching?

The facts are, no matter how much you try to mask them, that porn is fake. If your children are to watch it, it is going to give them unrealistic expectations, their 'first time' is going to be boring compared to their preconceptions, and also too soon. Those that partake in making this content are also following some sort of script, any 'chance encounters' are not by chance. They're getting paid, ffs.

Teenage pregnancy is increasing [BBC, 2009], and you can not say that the increased availability of free/cheap adult media has nothing to do with it. The plan to combat this by giving sex-education classes to even younger students just baffles me. Previous generations considered sex as a special thing, and you can see that in early television shows. I admit, things do change. This doesn't mean they change for the better.

'John Klyne': If you're making your assumptions from a first encounter based on what you've seen in adult media, then you're making a horrible mistake, and my initial observations and impressions of you have been extraordinarily wrong...

[jmcgowan]

John, no offense, but you're the type of person I want my daughter to avoid. If I had a son, I would want him to be almost the exact opposite of you, or at least the parts of you described here in this thread. It is that same attitude that you display here that is fueled, if not created, by easy access to pornography. The attitude that says 'a girl is something to look at to get aroused', 'the purpose of talking to a girl is to try and get her to sleep with you', or 'that girl is wearing tight clothes, she must want to get laid'. My wife is the most beautiful woman I've ever met, but my attraction to her is more from the fact that I never know what to expect from her. Some days I'll come home and she'll want to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. Other nights it's killing her waiting for my daughter's bedtime so we can be 'alone'. (Let's face it, with a two year old in the house, you're never really alone)

By giving kids free, easy access to porn, we are encouraging them to objectify women and treat them like they are worth nothing more than to get laid. Porn never shows women as people, only as playthings for men.

[John Klyne]

WOW, thats a great group of rebuttals, heh, I am not a person that promotes such content, truth be it, against my religion to even watch such, and as religious as I am not, I do not encourage people to watch this stuff, it does hinder what the first real experience will be like, since they will in fact not be using a script, as they do on the internet or whereever else they are available.

I have a couple of views that contradict what I beleive is the greater, good of weather or not limiting it is a good or bad thing.

I am not a person to be, "oh okay, lets have sex" that is not me, " so no worries if your duaghters or sons are near me which they are not : ) (thankfully is what you are thinking).

I am a person that belevies people should do as they wish, as long as it does not harm anyone, or anything else. So if watching something does no harm to others, go right ahead.

Are we encouraging kids to objectify women and treat them like they are worth nothing more than to get laid? There are reasons people make a website, one of which is that they earn money from it. Without money, where would we all be??

Well this stuff sells, like crazy, and there are always people willing to pay for such content. Though we are not talking about the kids paying for it, but it may add pleasure to a persons life.

Here's this scenario, I read somewhere, that there was a kid, he was bullied on A LOT since he was in kindergarten. He was pushed around, made fun of and all that stuff we don't like. The kid reached 7th and 8th grade and started to get mentally abused, (another kid, making fun of the fact that he had, old, dirty clothes...(the kid being bullied is in fact poor)...well what the kid did starting grades 7-8 was search the internet for things that made him feel better.

One of those few things he did online, was of course search up internet porn. He was poor and abused, as we already know, NOW, instead of him walking home crying, he comes home, differently towards the end of his middleschool life. He is happier for some reason coming home from school, and after getting out of his room, the parents said. Then one day, his father, since he was a security guard at a warehouse working the night shift, took a camera and planted it in the bookshelf pointing, his bed closet and computer...(which was literally all the kid had in his room...(bed was a matress on the ground, computer was on the ground as well, closet had no door...there was broken lamp on the side of the mattress near the computer... well what his father caought on tape was, his son, viewing internet porn, and thus the conclusion was that he was happier, because of such content.

Some people do in fact need help, some people have no way to release stress, how to become happy....and the internet in a way, helps to release stress...and makes people happy.

Well the kid got sick about 6 months before viewing internet porn...had ulcers (can turn into cancer) from stress...stated the doctors. Well here we are now, a year later...according to tests (that were paid for by his uncles) he had found something to do in his life that reduced it.

What was it...what do you think? Watching such content, does help people in a way. Not watching it, or having an immediate shut off valve on these things, can also have some adverse effects...

Think about it...

Remember this, is what I think...if it harms none, it is OKAY. : )

That is what I think, but then we all have different opinions.Should it be limited...I beleive it should to some extent. Some people need it, if they are not getting it. Though less people know that if they need it, and don't get it online/viewing it, their body will in fact/their brain will in fact, work in ways to acheive and get it. Don't ask me how I came up with this/where I found it.

[Eck.R]

John Klyne: You're either in this to provoke a debate, or you're the kind of guy I want my kids to be the opposite of...

jmcgowan is right, you come across as being sex-starved, and viewing women as objects/playthings.

pants with rips in them, just means it is easier to get into them...with soo many entrances.

Diamond necklace, loves money/what it represents to a girl, "power" the ability for the man to provide and take care of her...2k purse...she is deffinately packing some condoms...

guy carrying her bags...just means that he has def. seen her change...

with the clothes the person wears, I can literally predict what actions she will take in bed. What I need to show I have, (that I don't really have) in order to get her...(show power/money...in a way/represent it)...she had great looking hair and they were soo soft...means that no matter what happens, in bed or after bed in the morning, she will be in the bathroom, washing her hair, or taking a shower washing her hair...meaning that I can def slip in and have some fun in the shower or bathroom with the person....

do I want to take my time digging down the pants or will I be able to just get in, do I need to buy a condom or do I need to simply let her know that we will be using hers...is it easy to get her, if she drinks a couple of times, or should I just try to act like she doesn't matter so I can get her that way...

Now, I'm just going to address your "if it doesn't harm anybody it's ok" argument, as that's the most stupid thing I've heard. It sounds fantastic, but you can't honestly believe it...? Plus, everything else has already been addressed by someone else.

For starters, it implies that the reverse also applies. If it does harm, it's not ok. I'm sure many will think 'yeah, that's true'. Well, how about this scenario: You're applying for a job, and one of the other applicants recently lost his job, has no money, and nearly maxed out all the forms of credit available. If you're successful, you're harming the other applicant. Are you going to withdraw your application? Especially in the current climate.

What about gay marriage? Many religions are against that, and consequently, many religious supporters feel hurt that it's becoming so accepted in general life. I personally believe it somewhat makes a mockery of marriage (indeed, in 342 AD, same-sex marriage was prohibited in ancient Rome). I'm not going to lose sleep over it, nor am I going to put a stop to it... I understand popular culture changes, and it'll take its course. However, back on topic, does feeling hurt not count as 'harm'? I've heard many times that gay marriage doesn't harm anybody, and yet it seems that it does. This could boil down to the social culture of general acceptance and not kicking up a fuss, but that's for another forum thread... However, if you're going to address this by saying that somebody isn't really harmed by it, let's discuss rape victims [EDIT: apologies if this is offensive, if there are any here...]. At the end of the day, any pregnancy that follows from rape can be terminated, so everything's back how it was before, right? WRONG. The rape victim will still be hurt, mentally. The fact is, marriage is originally part of the religious institution upon which nations (western, at least) are formed. Changing fundamental religious beliefs is going to cause harm (y'know, the whole Husband And Wife thing), and generate views that if it's going to be changed as and when, existing marriages are worthless.

I hear you now thinking "Well, ok, it's ok as long as it doesn't harm anyone, or give them any legitimate feeling of harm". Who are we to decide what a legitimate reason for feeling is? The only way I can forsee proponents of the "it doesn't harm anyone" view actually being correct is if they also believe that ignorance is bliss, and in the age old 'out of sight, out of mind' belief. Which is just a cop-out, as it doesn't actually address any issues, and quite simply leads to an unhealthy build up of emotions, which is not healthy either on a personal or national level.
