Porn

I've been thinking lately about ponography, and how really
insulting it is. I mean, to start off with the simplest
aspect, that it is degrading to the women who participate
in it. All porn really does is take humanity back to its
earliest primal instincts, and do absolutely nothing for
advancing a person mentally. It simply plays to the id.
Worse than that though, it plays to modern societies
concepts of having the be thin, and have breasts the size
of Montana to be found attractive. As a society, we should
be working past the ideas that physical beauty is all that
matters, but instead we condone it with a simple 'boys will
be boys' attitude. Many people claim to think that porn is
funny, and that makes it OK to watch it. Although there
may appear to be something slightly morally advantagous to
watching it for a comical sake, I would have to argue that
in other aspects it is actually worse. Lets put it this
way, somehow I dont see the humor in women exploiting
themselves to the typical male dominated world where they
are forced to look a certain way and dress a certain way
and are driven to eating disorcers, all things that porn
plays to. Im sorry if I fail to see the humor in that,
maybe I'm missing something. I'm not trying to tell people
what to do here, and I am not trying to say that my morals
are better than anyone elses. However, I do believe that
most people (especially men) who watch porn never think
about these sort of things, and just do it because they are
raised from childhood to do these sort of things, rather
than to be respectful of women (and all other people who
are oppressed my the whit male anglo-saxons for that
matter). I am only suggesting that people think for
themselves, question why they would want to do this in the
first place, and maybe put more stock in mental and
emotional attraction rather than the primitive physical
aspects that are the only stimulations porn is capable of
stimulating. Go for mental stimulation rather than JUST
sexual, it can lead to better of the latter.
