Okay, well basically, I really hate porn. I can't help but feel that if a guy sits and watches girls doing all that (usually) disgusting and degrading stuff for money, it will make them have less respect for women in general. I think that porn just makes it harder for both genders to be treated equally. Maybe I'll grow to accept it as I get older (I'm only 15) but right now it makes me kinda upset to think that years ago women fought for their rights and now hundreds of women choose to degrade themselves for men's viewing pleasure. So anyways, back to my original question...does watching porn make you have less respect for women/does it make you see women as sexual objects? Even a tiny bit?
No and you have to understand WHY porn is there to begin with. People (not just men) use it to satisfy their animal desires that they crave. If men didn't have porn then prostitution would go up. In which case it probably would make men disrespect women. Pornography keeps the demons of mankind in check. That's just how it is and without it things would be much worse.
No. You see every men have a devil on his shoulder and there are certain things that we want to try with our ladies and are just to afraid to asked them or has been turn down by them. In most cases a guy just wants to see his lady naked but she refuses so he turns to some where else for comfort. I have know a couple that has never see each other naked or have never had any other different sexual position than missionary style. While the guy want to experment becuse he was bored so he turn to porn to fill that gap. For me, I just look at porn to see different women or race of girls naked to see the difference in their bodies. Porn or a strip club is the best way to do this without going to a nude beach and have to face with racism or being arrested. Also it helps to answer some questions that we have but cannot asked girls.in addition I think that it helps to know that we are not alone in wanting to try "certain things". Watching porn does not make a guy thinks differently about women it just helps to educated them on some things on what to aspect from girls these days.
Sex is NOT degrading. Abusing someone is. Accepting abuse is. Men in porn are sexual objects as much as the women are.
The porn problem is that it shows situations that are not realistic at all, mostly fetishist dreams, badly played by bad actors.
I've seen porn and it did not change my view on women. It changed my view on the people playing 'roles' in those movies, men as well as women. It changed my view on men (and women) expecting unrealistic things from each other.
Nope, it has nothing to do with respect. Women did fight for rights, but they fought for the rights of individuals. You see the girls in the porn have the right to be there. You do not have the right to deny them the opportunity. If you do not like porn, don't watch it, but don't be trying to infringe on other people's rights.
I feel bad for some of them, but then again it's a choice of theirs to do it. No one is forcing them. I stopped watching it out of respect, I always do that when I'm talking to someone. But when I did, I never loss respect for women, nor would I ever.
Keep up your views though, and don't ever let anyone tell you differ. It's perfectly alright to like porn or not, as long as you hold onto your beliefs.
The question that makes men think about the whole "its their choice to do it" excuse is the "What if your daughter chose to become a porn star? The girl you've raised since she was little?"

"We treat all women the way they want to be treated"
Don't get me wrong, of course there's decent guys out there who can watch porn and still treat women with respect. But there's also LOTS of men out there who are sexist and treat women like sex slaves for men. You don't think porn has anything to do with that? - 3 months ago

Hell nO... sexist men will be sexist no matter what...

Rap music might not be the cause of it, but calling women "hoes" and "bitches" and having them shake their asses while half naked in the music videos sure does encourage it. - 3 months ago
In porn, the women are treated like nothing but desperate sluts. Usually when two regular people are having sex, they show each other that they love and care about each other. It's not like that in porn.
In porn, men are the dominant ones (and you hardly see them on camera, its all about the woman) and women are the ones that are gangbanged, bukkake'd, etc. Porn is obviously part of the reason why women are sexualized in everyday society. - 3 months ago

They're acting, and if the acting is bad they look bored rather than hurt. I think that playing a gender-cast, squealing princess-wannabe in a romantic comedy about shopping is far more degrading to a woman than recording a banal gang-bang. Surely as a feminist you'd agree? - 3 months ago
