I watched my mother be torn apart and embarrassed by my father's hard porn addiction and know that they did not have sex for the last decade before he died, because she was too mortified and he refused to stop. It was really sad and I wish my dad would have gotten help from people like this who aren't afraid to say, yes this can be a problem and if your relationship with porn is hurting your human relationships, you do need to seek help. From what I know of them, they seem like people who genuinely want to help people have a real problem with porn and are willing to be that support system.
Me and my husband, on the other hand, love having sex with each other, but we have wildly divergent schedules, so when I'm in the mood, he's usually sleeping or at work and vice versa. If my husband is not available, I watch a little porn, rub one or two and call it a night. Same thing with him. Of course he is my first choice and I love our sexy fun together, but it's not realistic to believe that we'll always be hot and ready at the same time and being sexually frustrated is super distracting.
I guess my point is that most people can use porn to help release frustration without having it interfere with their relationships or expectations. However, there ARE some people that do hurt themselves and others with their porn habits and it's dishonest not to acknowledge that. They need love and support to get past their problem, and within the Christian belief structure, here is a support system for that. I see no reason to mock them for their efforts any more than Christian drug addiction counselors.
Did he spooge the bible? That's the direction the vid seemed to be going. Kid's got a sick sick bible-wanking fetish. He's just covered in tiny paper cuts down there and he's got bookworms in his pubes.
@CurtCole: Um, hahahahaha, friended for that alone. I live in San Francisco and my building is, shall we say, overrun. That's all I could think of watching this.
I read the true/slant piece and I wasn't at all impressed. He goes to mock them, with absolutely no interest in why they have chosen such a strict no-porn stance. I tend to think that people who are drawn to these kinds of things probably have a reason for it whether it is a too strict upbringing or an actual relationship problem as a result of porn. And of course the women need to be mocked most of all, because if they were just sexier their men wouldn't want to look at porn in the first place! It could have been interesting, but it is too shallow.
Anna read the quote from the 12 year old as the girl being uncomfortable with her sexuality, but I read it the opposite way- that the girl found porn upsetting to watch because the porn version of sex (and maybe sex in general) freaked her out. I remember going to parties around age 14 and boys would sometimes put in porn and I always thought it was the most unsexy thing in the world. Not scary, but definitely did not make me want to wander off into the bushes with anyone. And I was already reading erotica at that age, so it wasn't the sex that bothered me.
@clevernamehere: Here here. I've always found the big breasted, lots of anal and money shot porn disturbing especially at a young age because it made sex so, not anything I found sexually interesting. More graphic in that how many things can we shove in an opening of the human body way.
@clevernamehere: I agree with you. The guy didn't bother to try to figure out how they felt or why. He went for the sole reason of mockery, and I think he's a huge jerk for it.
I am not anti-porn in principle, but I am in execution. There are good, fine porn sites out there, and all that, but you know, the words used to describe women and how the "submissive" partner is treated make me uncomfortable.
I will agree to keep my porn out of their church if they agree to keep their church out of my porn. Why can't they accept that not everybody lives life according to their rules? I thought acceptance was a big part of the New Testament.
Oddly enough, related to the Martha Stewart news - there's Martha Stewart tips printed inside the wrapper of the Dove Caramels my mom sent me for Christmas.
At first I thought they were all holiday related, but the latest one talked about planting amaryllis bulbs.
Well, that guy will probably win his claim for cow-caused damage, considering it's often strict liability. And I thought my tort professor's random livestock-related-tort fixation would never pay off.
@shoroko: I'm surprised the neighbor would fight it. If my pet licks the paint off my neighbor's house, I'm going to be proactive and just offer to pay. What kind of world do we live in?
Although it does seem a little odd that his house is so close to the fence that the cow can actually get to it through a fence.
@RedLantern: Well, according to the article the cow's owner says he'll "take care of it," so he's probably just going to pay the $100. Regardless of how some kind of case would turn out, you'd really have to be sticking to some weird principles to not just pay, considering attorneys' fees would definitely amount to more than that.
@shoroko: Maybe he's planning to mooooove?
Sorry.
I love the name of the officer who contacted the owner of the cows:
Deputy FUNK. I want him to look like Bootsy Collins.
The chimp was being treated for Lyme disease. Lyme can actually cause rage symptoms in some people. I can't help but wonder if his illness had something to do with him attacking the woman, whether it be rage from the Lyme, or a response to feeling sick from the Lyme or the antibiotics.
