You don't think the Catholic Church's policy of celibacy and repressed sexuality had anything to do with it? That seems rather unlikely.

Please define "porn induced rape".

I'm not a Catholic so I wish people would stop shoving the pedophelia of priests on me as some kind of argument.

It is not persuasive. They don't have to rape kids. They could have gone out and got a hooker and nobody would have been the wiser not that that's ethical either.

Pedophiles gravitate to where kids are. It's a mental problem they have.

The Church was just stupid and should have went after them.

You're honestly of the mind that a higher percentage of pedophiles naturally gravitate towards priesthood. Really?

that's a sad and unfortunate story; it also makes her opinion on this less valid. it would be really hard for someone who goes through something like that to be objective or unbiased on a topic like sexuality.

i didn't say anything resembling that. though, i don't think that pedophilia is a problem that can be solved by changing anything in society.

some people are born with crappy brains and it makes them do things that are loathed by 99.9% of society. so we lock them up in cages like we lock up murderers and rapists. that's pretty much the best we can do.

we're all made in god's image so maybe god's shoddy workmanship is to blame for pedophiles.

Please define "porn induced rape".

I think Splendour's mind was a victim of a porn induced brainwash rape

I don't think Splenda understands the male libido. I watch porn for three minutes, bust a nut, and I'm done being randy for at least 12 hours.

be careful, jokerthief, you will probably turn into a pedo any day now.

Yeah, I would imagine having porn saves you from raping people. Remember, being a soldier before porn was an excuse to rape and pillage everything.

Through my own extensive research I have concluded that there is definitely a correlation between amount of porn watched and number of midday naps taken.

I'll quote the always intelligent and witty Stephen Fry on this one when talking about the Catholic Church (This quote could be applied to just about any religion however).

"It's the strangest thing about this church, it is obsessed with sex. Absolutely obsessed. Now they will say, we with our permissive society and our rude jokes are obsessed. No, we have a healthy attitude, we like it, it's fun, it's jolly, because it's a primary impulse it can be dangerous and dark and difficult. It's a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting. The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics, and the morbidly obese. And that in erotic terms is the Catholic Church in a nutshell."

Can we delete all these comments or agree its over for now?
I don't think anyone wants this thread locked, its one of the only places in rgt with interesting and constructive conversation.

Also Coach Kirby, how come you had to write a letter to the watchtoweR?

Maybe you don't know how the human mind works.

Recent research indicates that porn use can cause sexual dysfunction by numbing the body's response to normal sexual pleasure, according to a report published in Psychology Today.

Quote:

If NCMEC (The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) staff had not experienced emotional and psychological harm from seeing pornographic images, there would havebeen no justification for the costly investment of time, money, and resources used to put the Safeguards program in place. But inquiries NCMEC has received from other protective organizations about their own traumatized staffs demonstrate the far reaching impact of these stimuli among professionals.

Now I'm done posting on the subject.

Discussing porn impacts is depressing.

You are happy to pretend to believe science is flawed when it contracts your prejudices and happy to cite scientific study when it confirms your prejudices. You are a hypocrite.
