Anyone that is, is going to feel freedom that they feel they don't have in real life on internet porn. Many relationships these days are suffering from the effects. Mine is. Why am I in the relationship?

I am still struggling with the thought that I am repressed, with low self esteem and maybe wrong in my views. I don't want to watch porn with my boyfriend. He suggested girls gone wild and I suggested guys gone wild. No go. There is a huge double standard out there. That is just soft porn.

A guy's bum in the movies is a big deal, yet nude women are everywhere. 300 has woman on woman and nudity, rape and homosexuality throughout. I wonder if men would change their tune if they had to watch their mate look at hot, hard, naked young men on almost every channel. I wonder how my fat, hairy, bald old man would feel about himself then? Women still aren't expected to enjoy nor want sex.

He feels threatened by my rampant sexuality, and I am violently angry that porn gets his sexual energy while I beg for partner relations (he likes his hand). When I say I am going to leave the relationship if my needs aren't met, abracadabra!, he is there.....for a while. Lying, sneaking and more repression is the result. I am tired of it, peeps. That is why I am here. I have no answers of my own. I know that this issue has made me feel old, boring, ugly, undesired and yes, sad.

I'm really not a big fan of porn but I'd guess that good, bad, or indifferent it is the way it is because men are more visual creatures than women and if there's $$$$$$$$$ to be made someone's going to do it.

I have no children in school but from what I hear from others I find it hard to believe that women are still being taught only their looks count.

xxx domain for sex sites is a great idea. Easy to register and block. What is wrong with making it even possible to avoid something one doesn't want in their or their children's life? My boyfriends daughter has a xxx site that pops up everytime she logs in and we can't get rid of it. Thanks to him and his activities online. Guess what? She is anorexic and hates the way she looks.

There were details that couldn't be worked out, apparently. I would rather have a working system than something made just to give lip service to the problem but really solves nothing.

That's a virus or some sort of spamware.

I don't think a porn pop-up, alone, can make a girl hate the way she looks. There's something else going on.

There's the bull. I like a hot young man with nice equipment as much as guys like the gals. I KNOW that my guy feels bad about himself and the way he looks and his age. That is the only difference. I would never do anything to hurt him. The old excuse that men are more visual is bull. The truth is that the visuals are NOT there for the gals.

.xxx is a great idea and would hopefully include any sites promoting violence or racism, things no child need be exposed to, at least without parental guidance depending on thier age.

And the best thing we can do with great ideas is to write, call, or Email our legislators. Things can get done but sometimes they need a little nudge.

Of course there is! She feels personnally that the media impacts her feelings of self esteem. She wants to be blond, thin and wanted by boys. Her father likes, looks at (I mean stares at all through dinner) young hot girls while running down any female over 32 that is over weight. She has seen what her male role model looks at and wants sexually. I have too.

Then the problem is her father, unfortunately. That's a problem that's all too common in this country.

I see no reason to not have domain name requirements that match .edu .org .com .bus. It is the pretense that it isn't there that matches the repression in our society. Freedom to be who we are or want to be?

I see more of a problem that ways from mainstream tv and magazines then porn..Stand at a checkout counter and all you see is airbrushed "perfect" models on the covers.

I said it before,a girlfriend and I use to make our own,post it on a amateur site.Many ordinary people do and get positive responses.You dont need to be a super model and "perfect" because everybody has their own idea to what sexy is.Doing this actually helped my girlfriends esteem ,mine also.

I like voluptuous women,with curves and some fat.Normal society ala the media is the ones who say thats wrong.Id rather see a woman on the cover of cosmopolitan magazine wearing jeans with some tummy hanging over then some airbrushed thin model.

I agree, I think sexy starts between the ears and with what's in the heart.

And I'm somehow missing a gene somewhere because II really don't see the attraction of 18 year olds ( yeah, I see the physical ) to men in their 40s and up.
