In a way that's quite troubling.

Worse still, you may have to talk to your kids properly about sex.

Do it soon, or they'll know more than you do!

Porn is degrading..............if it's any good.

Thanks for the parenting tips, internet friend.

Listened to an interesting podcast about this the other week (episode 369 here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/little-atoms/i...

It mentioned that one of the effects of prevalent internet porn use was that young people seem to expect anal sex is the norm, even if they don't actually enjoy doing it.

Also this weeks science weekly podcats has a good piece about the official sex surveys done in the UK.

For the really interesting stuff you want to stray off the path of the 'big few' indexers and explore some of the lesser travelled areas of the tinterwebs.

You want something that doesnt appear on any search engines, offers at least SSL encryption, and has randomised URLs with no page headers. Of course I have no idea where this kind of thing might exist...

As a child of the internet, you find that most standard forms of tittilation lose their luster very quickly.

This fascinates me though - how on earth do you find things with randomised URLs and that aren't searchable?!?

"Sure, dad, what do you want to know?"

I known this is the lounge and is a lighthearted thread about something seemingly innocent and harmless. But if anyone is concerned at the possible impact Internet porn can have on guys or girls that use it regularly, you could do worse than read up on NoFap.

Huge numbers of guys and girls are realising the negative effects porn and solo strumming has on their personality, Sexuality and mental health. Enormous numbers of people are giving up or realising they have become numbed by porn, have difficulty getting a hardon with their missus or are realising it is not easy to stop using it.

People are reporting multiple benefits of stopping for a period of time. Ranging from recovering from erectile disfunction to repair of previously medicated anxiety and depression. It's really interesting stuff from a science point of view. As generations grow up with access to high speed Internet and streaming porn. Science wanted to know the impact on the brain. But it has been a challenge to find people that don't use it for a test study.

if you are remotely interested. Read the testamonials.

Watch the Ted talk.

Having worked on the shop floor of a large engineering factory as an apprentice 30 years ago I can confirm the sort of stuff we see on the Internet now is much the same as it was then, it's just now mostly less of a story and some bloke with a nastier look on his face.

As for extreme, I can remember the 'buzz' when a copy of Animal farm found its way into circulation amongst the 'porn club'. That would get you locked up these days.

There's a big resurgence in classic porn sales, films like Josephine Muntzenbacher doing well. Even the uncut Caligula is there to be viewed on line.

Modern Internet porn does seem to want shock rather than please.

Worst thing about Internet porm? In the old days of VHS, the pause may have been shaky, now you get an advert pop up. bds!

Bring a child of the 70's I find that I can't get off unless the screen is slightly damp and has a bit of privet hedging somewhere on it.

And 70's breasts on women were far better than they are now.

As I haven't yet seen it posted, the score with the recent changes to UK internet porn legislation are discussed here:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/a-long-list-o...

article said:

Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today (1 Dec 2014) through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board's ruling on 'content that is not acceptable' (p.24) effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

• Spanking

• Caning

• Aggressive whipping

• Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

• Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

• Urolagnia (known as "water sports")

• Role-playing as non-adults

• Physical restraint

• Humiliation

• Female ejaculation

• Strangulation

• Facesitting

• Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

While the measures won't stop people from watching whatever genre of porn they desire, as video shot abroad can still be viewed, they do impose severe restrictions on content created in the UK, and appear to make no distinction between consensual and non-consensual practices between adults.

Don't understand the female ejaculation, bit double standards wouldn't you say

Now that is an interesting article and pretty much refers to my original post. If I've understood it correctly, you can happily watch all that stuff , but you just can't produce a film involving any of it.
You do have to question how on earth they came to that conclusion though. It just puts OUR pornographers out of business!
But virtually every point on that list is ambiguous. Physical restraint and humiliation, I assume, were in the 50 Shades film? Female ejaculation is just asking for a backlash from the feminists. Urolagnia has just be enjoyed by Bear Grills and his mates. And on it could go.

[4941cc]

Also note that it refers to video-on-demand porn - i.e. paid for stuff. Yet so much is freely available - whether mainstream soft/hard/fetish/niche/whatever as several here have alluded, it's effectively a moot point.

Who can say where a particular video was produced too? Might just be British cast and crew making a film in another country and selling it to those markets/releasing it in short form to free websites as many seem to.

It's absolutely chock full of logical flaws and double standards and on paper at least, restricts UK porn producers from being fully competitive in a global market with apparently high demand.

I take a simpler viewpoint of being offended by "extreme" pornography - don't watch it if it bothers you. So long as all parties are adult and consenting, let it be if people get their jollies from it.

I've never stumbled across anything online I wasn't actively looking for, so it's not like you trip over it and are then subjected to having to endure a whole performance, is it? (goes for news/documentaries featuring graphic violence/fatal injury/war etc as much as porn).

"Ooh, don't like that, it's not for me."

Apart from the fact at 47, I still don't know if all that squirting business is for real! I think it archaic in this day of equality and liberation, that anyone could even dare to ban it. It's 50 years out of date!

Some of it is real but apparently it is only physically possible for 16% of women, or something like that, so I suspect quite a lot of it isn't real

And even if it isn't real, whats the difference between it being ejaculate or urine, it's still a bodily fluid. Some will find it disgusting, others a turn on. Each to their own and all that

AN APOLOGY: DID I REALLY USE THE WORD 'PAWN' IN THE NAME OF THIS THREAD?!!!LOL OR DID SOMEONE CHANGE IT? I CAN'T SEE HOW I CAN CORRECT IT EITHER!

[TheJimi]

No, you used "porn" and a mod has changed it to pawn.

Although, given our nomenclature here, it should really be "prawn"

Seriously? That's a tad pathetic.

Is there a reasoning behind it?
