3. Good point. nt

2. Oh good, another "All porn is rape porn and gays don't exist..." thread.

One-dimensional thinking the the BEST dimensional thinking!

4. oh dear...

No, not at all. Let's allow women to be traumatized, abused and thrown in the trash heap so you can have your TITTIES!
Seems fair!

5. Flawless execution...

"oh dear... No, not at all. Let's allow women to be traumatized, abused and thrown in the trash heap so you can have your TITTIES!
Seems fair!"



Proved my point exactly. There is wide billing of the types of porn out there. Not everything is a crass showing of distorted and fetishized notions of sex. Also, I'm gay. Titties do nothing for me. How could they? You just proved I don't exist...

6. +10000!

8. Thanks

for explaining. I don't care about your issues. This is about women being beaten and traumatized.
Take the pity party elsewhere.


What an appropriate tagline you have. "VICTIM"

9. Bless your heart, this all went right over your head...

It always does in these threads.

Congratulations.

I don't even know why you are on this thread. Looking for someone to abuse you, no doubt.

Seriously. You came on here claiming victimization by an anti porn message. Supposedly if someone put a stop to the brutalization of women in the industry, that would somehow intrude on your freedom to look at sexual images. How pitiful. And if we put an end to torture, think of how disappointed Dick Cheney would be! Is that fair to him?

7. Clearly, some on this thread have not watched your video.

Too bad, because it is a good one.

Thank you for posting it.

10. We're taught to hate ourselves.....

...for profit. It has been thus for millennia.

More About Gary Wilson

Gary is host of www.yourbrainonporn.com. The site arose in response to a growing demand for solid scientific information by heavy Internet erotica users experiencing perplexing, unexpected effects: escalation to more extreme material, concentration difficulties, sexual performance problems, radical changes in sexual tastes, social anxiety, irritability, inability to stop, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

As a physiology teacher with a particular interest in the latest neuroscience discoveries, Gary was aware that their symptoms might be the result of addiction-related brain changes. Applying the website's concepts of brain plasticity, many former users have braved withdrawal, reversed their symptoms and restored normal sexual responsiveness.

The site has been linked to from hundreds of threads in forums from over thirty countries, with posts numbering in the thousands. Gary blogs for "Psychology Today" and "The Good Men Project" on the extreme plasticity of adolescent brains, the evolutionary context for today's flood of novel cyber "mates," and the neurochemical reasons why superstimulating Internet delivery has unexpected effects on the brain.
