Everything that someone can find pleasurable is potentially addictive. Drugs, porn, sex, hot sauce, gambling, and videogames can all be used and “enjoyed” in ways that are unhealthy and which interfere with one’s everyday life, to the point of an addiction. Those with addictive personalities run a risk of any pleasurable activity taking over their life. Instead of labeling one thing after the other as addictive and banning it, we should encourage people to practice responsible behavior in general, such as setting limits, knowing themselves and the effect that various actions have on their mind and body, and keeping work and pleasure seperate.
Good one!
Porno recommendation: Try the Pyramid movies, directed by Pierre Woodman. Attractive but not fake people (no silicone), a plot that is neither too busy nor distractingly stupid, better locations than average, and hot, hot, hot sex. Plus, the DVD is multilingual, so you can learn how to talk dirty in several languages. 
It’s a trilogy, so if you like the first one, there’s two more. The first is the best, though. Still, most of Woodman’s other movies are comparable; he’s got a fairly extensive catalog and definitely a consistent aesthetic.
(I can’t believe I used that sentence in a porno critique. Shoot me when I get to the mise en scéne.)
500??? I thought I had a problem!
I don’t have 3 or 4 gigs of videos or anything… damn only having a 30 gig HD.
By the time you get to the mise en scene, I suspect you’ll have shot already.
Actually, I’ve got some friends who watch porno movies MST3K-style! I’ve only sat through one once (the first time I tried, it was ruined by a 300 lb guy calling 150 lb actresses “too fat” :wally ), but with the right company, it can be hilarious! Me, I was amazed to see how many of the old cliches were true.

Back when I was in university, lots of my friends were waiters/waitresses/bar workers and the only place that was open at 0300 in the morning was an adult movie theater, and 3 diners…nobody wanted to go eat after slagging around food and drinks all evening so we used to make an every thursday night thing of going to the porn movies…we would all sit in a large block of 3 rows, middle of the theater and make comments MST3K style…amazing how fast we could clear the pervs out
This was 82-83, I seem to remember that the prevalent movies were the taboo series, and some of the newer shot to video ones…
She misunderstands the technology.
Monomania leading to tunnel vision.
Not quite sure what you are getting at…he also has a butt ton of bmps and jpgs of cartoon characters [among other things he uses them to make his own email postcards] he is just a computer geek as far as I can tell…
Did this “Porn Addiction” thing exist before the internet? Maybe its a simple case of internet addiction. They have a vaccine for that I think. :smack:
You missed the boat. Howard led an extensive campaign earlier this year to get listeners to lodge complaints with the FCC regarding an Oprah show that Howard was not allowed to air on his show due to its content being too racy.
The Oprah show was about out-of-control teens, with descriptions of events like rainbow parties. (My childhood sucked compared to what’s going on nowadays, which apparently involves much sucking.)
Many listeners filed complaints, and the FCC did indeed look into Oprah’s show. The results of that investigation are unknown at this time.
Dare I ask what a “rainbow party” is?
It’s something filthy, isn’t it?
I don’t want any of that shit in my porn, thank you very much. Ideal porn would be what much of it is: unrelated sex scenes, with no clothing, dialog, story, or context at all. Pure sex. If I want story, I’ll watch an actual movie.
I’m with you on this one.
I don’t particularly like “attractively done nudes” other than the same way I like attractively done landscapes. Nudes aren’t about sex, they are about form. Porn is about sex.
There is porn for women, btw. And I’m not talking about romance novels, either, though they are clearly porn for women. There’s actual pornographic movies targeted to women. I find them boring in the extreme, and not titillating at all. If your solution is to make all porn appealing to women in the effort of bringing women onto the side of porn, I say thanks but no thanks, we men can fight our own battles.
Not as bad as you might think.
Think lipstick of different colors on different girls. Guys end up looking like rainbows. At least, their guy bits do.
So the liptick gets on their…
:eek:
And all the different colors make it look like a rainbow? :o
I was born into the wrong generation. 
Where’s the respect for tradition? It used to be lipstick on your collar that told a tale on you.
Apparently, it’s possible to become sexually broken, and that one of the symptoms of this is masturbation, which, if I’m reading this site correctly, is the gateway drug to pornography. :eek: Thankfully, there’s a simple test you can take if you’re a male to determine if you’re a sex addict. They don’t have a test for women, it seems, but I do note that there’s a sex addicts support group for women in Nashville. Hmmm, methinks that might be a good place to cruise for chicks!
