what are your thoughts on porn? rather than a pro vs against thread, can you think of instances where porn can be good and when it can be harmful?
i see nothing at face value wrong with porn. arguments can be made that the actors are often poor, drugged up & exploited.. and while may be true and morally repugnant, that's showbiz baby!
even in the extremer cases i think it is difficult to put the moral culpability on the viewer any more than a consumer of grain fed meat or battery farmed chicken, is made morally responsible for how the animals are treated... maybe they should be but it is hard to say.
cases of illegal porn e.g. pedophilia or rape porn are another matter.
i can see porn being harmful however for other reasons. for a person developing and yet to explore their sexuality with other consenting humans, porn can be harmful by feeding them wrong ideas about what real sexual relations are like.
particularly with porn being a male dominated industry catering to a predominantly male audience from a culture where males have been the dominant gender.. there is the off chance that it represents relationships from a slightly skewed perspective (to the exclusion and subordination of the female).
which would feed back to the above point about informing unrealistic ideas about what equal and consensual relationships might look like..
on the plus side though i see no reason why two consenting humans can fully enjoy the fruits of porn together .. or the loner in his room 
anyway what are your thoughts? *icelander posts nude nun, orgone posts 7 playboy chicks by the pool etc*

There was a really good thread on this a few weeks ago - here is my reply: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18911511#18911511
Basically I see no problem with porn provided the viewer knows that it is an unrealistic representation of how sex is. Porn can be quite beneficial, and can also be harmful. It all really depends on the viewer. This is true for many other things as well (drugs come to mind).

Every time I see a hot woman I imagine her naked, or doing some crude act. Feel like a creep and I blame porn

That nun reminds me of the 2nd season of American Horror Story, which my wife stopped watching, and frankly, I didn't finish either. You'd probably like it.

Yeah, nobody ever wanted to have sex with hot women before porn was invented.

No, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with porn. I find rather that it can hurt the development and understanding of people's sexuality, and the type of people that are very much into porn are the kind that usually miss the beauty in sex.
