Millions of people watch porn without any trouble at all. If you have a problem with it, that's one thing, but don't make judgments about others based on your own personal problems.

And what exactly is this "destruction" that you're speaking of? If someone commits a crime or adultery, that's his or her responsibility to deal with. Blaming a movie for someone's bad behavior leads to a very slippery slope.

Porn performers and regulators clash

Lawyers nitpicked at the definition of the word genitalia. Performers groaned at the suggestion they wear goggles while having sex on film. And state of California bureaucrats declared they care deeply about the pornography industry.

In a four-hour hearing Tuesday that ranged from thick legalese to graphic descriptions of sex acts, officials and performers clashed over proposals for new safety regulations on the porn industry.

State officials insisted they were trying to protect those who make a living in the industry, not drive them out of state or shut them down.

...
"It's at the point where we feel we'll be working in hazmat suits,"


These people do stuff with their bodies that is often unhealthy both in a physical and spiritual sense.

If you look at the addictons, the diseases, and the harm it can cause families who watch and parade in this stuff - and the state of CA is looking at regulating the minutia and details to make this safer - it's just ludicrous.

Never mind the damage it causes to people who watch this stuff via divorces, or diseases from mimicing their actions, or rapes by sexually charged perverts - never mind that stuff, just wear a condom and safety googles while you wreak havoc with the souls and spirits of men.

Wonderful! Now our taxes are paying for Porn Patrol?

I can't force you to open up your eyes.

Sex is different than other actions.

I am saying that if California was really interested in protecting people - they would wipe it out.

I don't know about you, but I have a daughter - and there are registered sex offenders throughout the area. This stuff can affect anyone on a random day. It just takes one time.
quit spouting off all this tripe about the dangers of porns and give us links to real evidence and studies that back up your outrageous claims.

Having sex is something that nearly everybody does or has done in their lifetime.

If you don't like it, don't watch it, but don't be so judgmental of adults who are fully capable of living their own lives the way they see fit, especially when it doesn't affect you at all.


Most porn stars are on drugs and are ashamed of them selves for the lifestyle they have, and had rough childhoods so they use drugs to numb the pain.

That's not what I've observed. I'd like to see what source you're using to back up your statements.
