PORN- Is it an addiction?

Is porn good or bad?
discuss

 

google porn addiction, it can result in some nasty stuff. as in Not the results of the search but the porn addiction.

 

I said wrong only because of the fact that I think it has more bad effects than good ones.
And it definitely can be an addiction if you let it.

 

Define the scope of the debate: Are we discussing whether it is an addiction, wrong, or both?

 

Probably both. But it seems to me that the author just thinks that you can't be addicted to good things, therefore equating it's possibility for addiction with its moral standing.
I think it'd be best to have the topic be whether or not porn is good/bad.

 

I'll edit, and state clearer.

 

porn is great stuff
its a stress releif
a natural action
something that simulates the real thing

It doesnt make you blind too myths!

 

It's not wrong...
Anything can be addicted

 

Kinda pointless if you ask me. (The porn, not the topic).

 

Well, you can get addicted;mentally or physically, to anything that feels good.

 

It's not really bad...I know a lot of people who watch it, sometimes it is overwatched a bit though. Like Swan said, it's pretty pointless.

 

It Is Pointless.

I think Anyone who Gets Addicted should Have a check-up.

I mean getting addicted to sex is one thing. but getting addicted to watching other people so it is jut wrong

 

Yeah as magic said that is just sad...

addicted to sex is ok i suppose but having a wank over someone else having sex can't be a addiction.

 

All right, then.

Well, I don't see why pornography is a bad thing. I suppose, like all other things that appeal to basic human emotions, it can become addictive, bud I don't think that it is inherently so.

 

so do you think porn is right? To people with morals it is. Sure alot of things feel good and can be addictive, but arn't wrong. say i can be addicted to dancing. As long as I do it within reason and don't kill myself its ok. If I'm addicted to myster novels, thats ok. But religious or not, I personally think porn is wrong.

 

I wouldn't exactly call it right, yet it's hardly wrong, either. I don't really think that it's moral or immoral, since it's something that only affects the person looking at it, and nobody else.

Why would you say that it is wrong, though?

 

Well say you look at "it" and you becoem addicted over time to it. You have a friend and your like "hey lets check this out" your friend doesn't want to, but by your own doing you get him addicted. I know he has control over what he does, but still. Seeing porn and what people do in it, can lead to a kdi watching porn to go out in try what he sees on the web other by rape or having under aged sex?

 

Then it is psychologically addictive, like anything pleasurable (television, games, eating, etc.).

 

ye but there has to be a limit. it is a basic human quality to want to do something a lot of it feels good but the real question is how much is too much?

 

When you have to ask people if its right or wrong.
