I would agree. Actually, it increasingly doesn't even require photos of real live people--have you noticed the increasing number of computerized images and porn cartoons?
And? With computers people can explore different types of porn that where never around before. Whats wrong with that?
Quote:
Of course they ignore the real women in their lives...absolutely agree. The porn addict generally is misogynistic, too. The train themselves through their actions to believe that autoerotic pleasure is the one reward that they can get from a woman or a man.
Uh people like me who are not addicted to porn, do not ignore real women at all. But I can see a porn addict doing this tho.

As far as electronic social interaction...nothing replaces reality. Reality is a place where you actually have to respond real-time to other people. The electronic world (and I've been around long enough to have had a Heathkit H-8 and used a Commodore 64 for my senior year college papers) can be a great place to be honest with one another; it is also a great place for lies.
And that is the beauty of the electronic world. You can make it what ever you want it to be.

Porn is a lie. It is a form of anti-social behavior. One can spend hours just searching, searching, searching for the ultimate fantasy image of the moment and you don't have to compromise...the image is out there. So, imperfect masturbator gets exactly what he/she wants (usually, he) even though he could never in a million years get that woman's attention.
How the heck is porn a lie? What is the lie? And I don't think it is anti-social behavior at all. Someone who is a porn addict may take on anti-social behavior. But as the woman that is in that image the person is looking at that is most probably one of the good things about porn. A person can seek out a picture of a women that in reality they will never get the chance to actually have sex with for various reasons, so having the picture satisfies the persons need.

Reality, you get a real person who is not perfect. And neither are you. You have to face reality. You have to compromise if you choose to engage in any form of relationship.
Very true.

Great, huh? Is that kind of society sustainable? No.
Like Frasbee said it is not big of a deal as you think it is. Society is not run of porn. If it was then our culture would be a lot different.
CAM it seems that you think this is some dooms day thing or something. Maybe you need to explore other parts of society because our society is complex and there are lots of stuff good and bad out there.
