The discussion centers around the prevalence of degrading and violent pornography on the internet, with a call for more creative and enjoyable representations of sex for adults. Participants express a desire for soft porn that celebrates the beauty of the human body rather than depicting extreme perversion and sadism. There is a recognition that many people consume porn to escape their own sexual realities, often leading to unrealistic expectations and jealousy in relationships. The conversation touches on the impact of pornography on personal relationships, with some arguing that it can create issues while others believe it can be a healthy part of sexual exploration when approached consensually. The dialogue also highlights the challenges of finding advertising space for more positive sexual content and the societal stigma surrounding sex, suggesting that a shift in how sexuality is viewed could lead to a more open and enjoyable exploration of sexual themes online. Overall, the participants advocate for a balance between fantasy and reality in sexual expression, emphasizing the importance of consent and mutual enjoyment in relationships.

Pornography can be enjoyable. I'm not religious but I don't support the industry because I believe it negatively affects social and economic issues in society. I dislike that kind of spam as well. Since I'm a guy it is especially annoying and occasionally temporarily hampers my convictions to strive away from that material - which can be difficult.

I certainly don't intend to come across as supporting porn spam. No spam is good, and porn spam is bad because it imposes that on people who may choose not to view it and who are offended by it. Those who are interested in porn know where to find it, so they don't need it delivered to their inbox either, unless they've requested it.

Whoops, sorry about any lack of clarification in my post. I was just making a statement to everyone because it seemed like the thread was becoming a debate on pornography. I didn't think you came across as supporting porn spam.

My ex watched more porn than I ever did. Got ideas that way. There is nothing wrong with porn or with any sexual act as long as it is consentual. I'm a big fan of trying new positions and toys and role playing and games. I don't think other people should be brought into the relationship though, I'm a one man one woman sort of guy. Other than that though anything goes as long as it feels good, and it's suprising how many things do.

You'd be surprised how many don't react negatively.

You'd be horrified when you saw all the negative reactions. Kill 'em all.

True. I think most of the women I know realize this is just something men do, and don't really care one way or the other. Most of the rest would want to view it with them, or would use it as incentive to see how far they need to go to distract their man from viewing. Only a handful are upset by this...not surprisingly, their men are usually the ones who are viewing porn secretly to substitute for what they aren't getting in other ways.

Yes, they have given up, got used to it, and they don't think there is any cure for it. Men = beasts.

Some of the varieties of sexual play, especially that which can develop over time as a relationship matures, might appear obscene to some...

Particularly and only when it is forced up in others' faces.

True, I really dislike all spam, and especially porno spam. So intrusive! I got off subject a little over someone talking about a woman acting "slutty." My impression was that he saw certain sexual behaviors as morally wrong. I believe a lot of sexual problems (especially in the US) have been needlessly caused by the shaming of sex. While porn might not be the best way to fix it, maybe it is something people are using to help shake off some that shame.

Well, I use it to shake off something. Wouldn't call it shame though.

It was you who sent those spam equations, Math is Hard? In my first days at Yale I saw in a bathroom stall an equation like "the integral of e to the x equals the function of u sub n"? It still haunts me. So much for freshman sex.
so THAT's what that means! I get it now! :smile:

This is the version that resides on a wall in a men's room in my dept.
\int e^x = e^x + C

written to read like sex = ex + C

What's C supposed to be?

- Warren

Okay, I had to stare at this one for a very long time. Is ex+C supposed to be read "ecstasy?" Are you supposed to read the + as a t?

I guess it would have to be zero.


(nevermind - I think I just said something stupid. I was dazzled by the shiny new logo.)

I'm merely reporting what I see...but my best guess was that 'ex' refers to an ex-wife/ex-gf/etc and 'C' was possibly an offspring, as in child.

No humor in that, eh ? Oh well...

Moonbear, I like the "ecstasy" interpretation.
