Ron Jeremy: Games Worse for Kids Than Porn

[nevertell]

Just how does porn influence children ? Well, of course the napkin usage rises, but what else is there to it ?

I know that some games take it a bit further than they should on gore and "evil", but there is one thing that gory games teach- that life isn't a goddamn garden of roses, which a lot of the facebook society and disney chanel outcasts think it is.

Ron should have used Soap Opera's as his example not games.

What kind of studies show the effects of porn on children? Seems highly unlikely that those studies exist at all.

 

[Clintonio]

I think children shouldn't be exposed to porn. It's not educational, it's not useful, and a good diagram or educational video that isn't intended to arouse makes a lot more sense. Porn addictions are an unhealthy side effect. Or, men learning sex from porn possibly could lead to them trying to act out unhealthy fantasies on a more innocent partner who then has to live up to the porn. It doesn't teach you the more intimate idea of sex, and it doesn't teach you anything important to a relationship.
I'd rather give my children video games that were of the Nazi death camps than let them watch porn. The first child of mine who does is gonna find himself banned from the internet until it hurts.

-1 to the Hedgehog for trying to dodge one ridiculous debate by hiding behind another ridiculous debate.

I understand the argument however it's like some big wig in the music industry saying that the movie industry is to blame for violence not the rappers lyrics.

I just don't like when people blame other things for which they are just another piece of the problem.

Funny coincidence though on the two shows being there the same time though.

I have to laugh my ass off at Ron Jeremy - well, at any actor without any qualifications (except what they portray on screen or TV) spouting ANYTHING. . . but Ron Jeremy? Come on, that's the bottom of the barrel altogether! What qualifications does he have? He doesn't even portray anything on screen (except a big. . .well. . .figuratively speaking of course) so why would ANYONE listen to anything he says?

Who cares?

Everything and anything can have an influence on people so, unless you start secluding people from reality, they will be influenced in ways you cannot predict. IMO, what makes a difference is the sense of self and the ability to rationalize things over, which, by the way, is probably what differentiates humans from animals. Teach kids to be their own selves and think on their own and they will be able and perhaps they will evolve beyond "evolved monkeys".

too much of anything can be bad. why not just say candy is bad for children too?

if I had kids, which I'm glad I don't because women sometimes tend to take half the stuff you own and leave if you do, I would strongly supervise them before they reach their teens. I started using dialup and such at maybe around 13 or 14 years old and even with all the porn spam around, I don't think it is that big of a deal for a teenager. there's much worse things to worry about such as alcohol and drugs.

It really doesn't matter, Kids will be kids. If they want to watch porn they will find it, if they want
to play violent video games they will get them as well.

WOW I dont even know where to begin. Your kids are gonna be horn dogs when they get to college. Hope that you dont have any girls. Cause I bet you will have grand babies before you are supposed to. I dont understand all the negative against porn. Its because its so Taboo that americans have problems with it. (yes I am american)

I did teach me the basic ideas of pleasing the ladies and that is one of very first reason why couple brake up nowadays.. (Because after the charms goes away, after your lady stop seeing you as a knight in shiny armor the true hit her face, he doesn't even know how to f... good. He is a good for nothing.. But if you know your ways around the four leg monster in the bedroom. Well also the kitchen, table, the kitchen itself, the kitchen floor, the living room, the bathroom, the back yard, the garage, the car..

well if you knows your ways around sex and you are willing to please your couple, of course beside all the other part the conform the marriage you will have a happy life with a pleased lady that is willing to do everything for you..

The phrase "make love not war" comes to mind

 

[maestintaolius]

I'd rather my kids self-satisfy to porn (or scantily clad video game characters lol) rather than go out and get/become pregnant or get an STD.

He has somewhat of a point, I guess. Of course, I'd like to see the correllation between sex offenders and those that surf for nasty porn. I mean, did the guys that did "2 guys and a horse" surf for bestiality porn on BBS's? Did Catholic priests surf for kiddie porn on Compuserve when they were young?

Taking the stance about only allowing adults to view porn is very politically correct though, and I tip my, er, hat to him.

BTW: Regarding Leisure Suit Larry (the Al Lowe series, not the retarded new ones): those games were about sexual innuendos and comedic situations, not hardcore porn. Most of it had just the odd naked boob scene and nothing more. Sure, the goal of the game was to get laid, but there were never any Extreme Close-Up Money Shots.

Surfing for kiddie porn is more likely done by people already pedophiles than actually create them. There is also completely accidental correlation, like the rise of porn and global warming (yes I know friction causes heat, but lets keep it simple 😛).

Well I thought a porn star will most likely give a head, and not a social advice!

 

[coldmast]

(studies) have found that after children look at that image of Ron Jeremy they are emotionally scarred for life.

I love the blame shifts, if Ron said porn is no more harmful then video games he might have a point.

It comes down to the parents to be responsible in raising their kids, if porn is age restricted -- so be it, just as parents should make sure they are following proper ESRB ratings.

There is always going to be someone, somewhere that will take offense to the most minor of circumstances; this should be considered the exception not the norm.

I would prefer my (for the sake of argument) children to find out about sex in the classroom, along with contraceptives, STDs, and abstinence.

 

[paxiam]

As if a person who is actively involved in porn would have the ability or freedom to see it for what it truly is; a cheap attempt at true intimacy and striving for fulfillment in a way that NEVER fills. Porn is a dead end which damages the user and the used.

You know, I have nothing against videogames or pornography, but this blame shift BS from Ron makes me pretty irritated. Videogames have their pros and cons. On the positive side, they help build problem solving ability, and use a lot more brain activity than TV does. On the negative side, videogames help contribute (on some small level) to our overall desensitization to viewing acts of violent behavior, and can reduce the amount of physical activity a kid does if played in excess. Overall, I'd argue its more harmful to watch the news than to play a videogame for the same period of time.

Porn has always had themes that devalue women. If, as a society, we're going to try to accept women as equals, then pornography is far more harmful than videogames. I could go into trends in porn, and how each devalues women, but its pretty damn obvious and I'm not even sure what I could describe some of the acts in this type of forum anyway. Besides the stuff that devalues, and humiliates women, some often sexualizes violence against women, which is even worse. 90% of porn puts women down as sexual objects that are less than people.
-Children ARE influenced by how they see others treated, and are easily influenced when they are in the beginning stages of figuring out their sexuality. You don't need to be a freaking scientist to realize that pornography could plant negative influences.
-It should be noted that porn shows people carrying out actual acts (even if they're doing some roleplay, they are carrying out actual sexual acts on each other), and videogames involve animated fictional characters carrying out their potentially violent acts in a completely fabricated fictional world.
-And that's just the content itself. Considering that porn also helps create markets for prostitution, and human trafficking... videogames help create markets for software programming, artists, and information technology.

I'm demonizing pornography here a little, but despite its filthy nature, its still wrong to censor such content. As adults we should have the freedom to view whatever we want, so long as nobody is hurt in the process... but, to argue that viewing porn would be less harmful to children than videogames? GO FUCK YOURSELF, RON!
