But should that stop people from being free to choose what to do with their bodies, between consenting adults? no

That's the problem, you think there is more consent than there actually is. 

Also the term adult is of no importance to the most men who run these sites. It's awful.

The real victims of porn? It’s viewers. Young and old alike. 

There is so many things wrong with porn & everybody knows it. It's just pretending like it's no big deal, it's comfortable not to talk about it. It's destroying this youth, the clips are easy to access & protective measures to stop teens from watching NSFW material are a joke. 

Porn , hookers , and COVID on my what have we become . I miss Emazer and clown makeup days

So the consenting adults must not, because some people might not be?

And if this was applied across the board, who should be the ones to judge who is competent to consent?

Legal sexual activity (filmed or not), in and of itself, shouldn't need to be a problem.

Yes, that's straight up slavery. I know that. Do you instantly think of an industry when you hear the word slavery? I think of crimes against humanity. Anyway...
The emphasis was on "male-controlled". The author clearly has a problem with mysogyny but defends porn in the same sentence, which is mysogyny in its purest form.
By the way, I don't care who takes me seriously, as my opinion clearly doesn't match the opinion of the majority on this forum. I could say the sky is blue & someone would reply & say that it's purple, black or green sometimes. 
 

Lol, the sky actually is violet, that’s the light wavelength that scatters most in the atmosphere, but the cones in our eyes don’t perceive violet as well blue so we see blue. I imagine other animals see the sky differently also. But perception is our reality.

When I buy something on eBay on Sunday morning because it's the lowest price, and then the next four items I'm watching that are the same item, all go for less Sunday night.

How can someone be anti-porn AND mysogynistic at the same time?

What makes a hatred towards women mentality and a disdain for the erotic industry mutually exclusive from each other?

Porn is without a doubt the most brutal, abusive and destructive male-controlled industry of all time.

If we were talking about sex trafficking and exploitation, then yes. Otherwise, the general adult entertainment industry working within the law has become less male-centric since the 1980's with the likes of Candida Royalle starting Femme Productions in '84. There is more than a handful of contemporary women directors in pornography taking the medium in a direction away from the chauvinistic views of the past. And then there is the field of female artists too big to cover.

With all that said, exploitative pornography does continue a trend as an outlier in today's society. There is a BBC article of an interview with the OnlyFans website just a few days ago covering how they handle prohibited content which in part is the reason behind the site's policy changes.

There was a point made earlier that "the mainstream" is not presenting viable alternatives to the vaccines.

Before I go on, let me point out the prevalent theory that treatment is much more profitable (to Big Pharm) than a cure...I believe AIDS/HIV has been tooted as an example.

I am guessing if the government had given up on a vaccine and jumped to the treatment of CV...there would be a much greater uproar as it would seem that the government prefers to allow a disease to become prevalent and looking only to future profits by Big Pharm.

here's a link (albeit Foxnews and I will have to wash my keyboard after) that if the basic facts are true is an example of how bad it could have gotten:

Thanks for the science lesson, that was my point though, people will say it's a different color to them. It's perception. I will say it's blue, some other guy in the middle of the night will say it's black, someone watching a sunset will say it's orange.

Yes, but perception & truth aren't the same thing. There is some truths that you can't deny, that are real & define reality, you can't perceive away the truth.

You can perceive porn as a good thing. You can't say it's the truth though. You just cant. If you put up pros & cons considering all aspects, you will come to the conclusion that it's ultimately bad. Let's stick to the viewer. There are so many points that prove it's bad to consume these images.

It's an unhealthy addiction to unrealistic, often brutal scenes which gradually destroy a healthy perception of a relationship, hurts relationships if you're in one, dehumanizes women & makes men dull towards violence, leads to a loss of motivation, energy, makes it harder to achieve your goals, dopamine toxicity which causes serious cognitive issues, sexual desensitization, messes up masculinity, self respect & confidence, demoralizes & destroys young people before they even meet someone etc. these are just a bunch I remember, there are so many studies, it's been a long time since I did some research on this. Wait another 10 years & we'll see the effects on gen z.

Nothing left to say, do what you want, it's personal choice, no one can stop you from consuming this stuff.

That is the UK version of the set (notice the pieces amount isn't shown on the box in the pic), not sure why it says confidential though. The US version has a different listing.

I dont believe this said UK a few months ago. I think it was recently changed. I suspect it was an attempt to divert traffic to the lesser ranked alternate listing. Could be wrong tho.

Damn, I missed this deal. All for free.

Youngster!  Wait until you are in your 60's.  You wake up tired and are happy to just be tired and not in too much pain.

I was in a car accident 23 months ago. I wake up tired and generally sore, and usually have discomfort or pain every day. I'm not sure if I want to make it 60 at this rate. I do know that I'm tired of having to stretch every day and rue doing it for the next 100 years.

Yay LEGO!

I'm hip.  I've had a very good life.  I spent 11 years in the military, 16 years as a Harley-Davidson factory test rider.  I've been married and was smart enough to divorce her when she tried to change me into somebody that I'm not.  I've raised a great daughter and help with a beautiful granddaughter.  I've lived in the Philippines, the UK, Japan and visited some of the world's greatest treasures.  With all that, if it wasn't for my family, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the plug.  The last 4-5 years, arthritis and heart AFIB has taken its toll and I'm just tired of pain.  And before anyone recommends counseling, I'll keep plugging until the end because I would never inflict the emotions on my daughter and 80+ year father that checking out early would cause.

Stretching is one the the best things you can do for yourself even if you are 100%.  Covid got me off my game a bit, but its normally part of my daily routine.  Keep it up!  😀
