Ugh... sometimes I'm ashamed to be classified as a gamer...

One of the problems with our politically correct society is that men are constantly being scolded for being men. Our naturally-instilled feelings and lusts are labelled as "bad" by a society full of feminists who will gladly sue you for even looking at them out of your peripheral vision. This is why men get so frustrated and uptight about things like sex. Because we're no longer allowed to express our desires in the way that nature intended. Already, many people in this topic have labeled pornography as something exclusively for lame, pathetic losers with no life or girlfriend, but that's not true at all. On the contrary, it's a safe and private way for a man to relieve himself, and I think you'll all agree that it's much more preferable than going out and raping someone.

While I agree about men not being allowed to be men anymore... I wouldn't quite take it that direction. Why do men tend to like violent movies and such? It's because that's how we were made. We were made to be men who can fight. Desk jobs and the like don't allow much room for healthy aggression. We're not 'supposed' to be warriors anymore... we're expected to be sweet, wonderful, and kind to everyone. I'm not saying those things are bad, not at all; I'm not saying I think men should be allowed to use their tempers or whatever... but you men know what I'm saying. We're often caged, men aren't men anymore.

Anyhow, that said, I still don't believe that justifies porn. Lust in the mind leads to looking, looking leads to doing.

Porn rapes the mind.
