Hey all you people one thing that is really getting on my nerves is when other people get put down because of the fact that they look at porn and i know that everyone has been guilty of that at least once in their lives. But how can you be guilty of something that isn't a crime? So i want to hear your opinions, is it icky for a girl to look porn that is directed for guys or vice verse? (I don't want to mention magazine names just in case its aganist rules, but i think you get my idea)

well i think society puts alot of pressure on things like girls looking atcertain magazines are targeted as homosexual or the same with guys, and they don't even have to do anything it could just be the way they look or dress to.

well im not ashamed to admit, that when i happen to come accross some type of porn of the same sex as me,"I DONT SEARCH FOR PORN"..... but, HELL YA, i look at it. not because i get "horny" over it, and im attracted to my same sex, BUT, because ALL females AND males wish they could change somthing about there physical apperance. and wish they had things that others do. even ppl that say they think there perfet, sexy, and there is nothin to change on the outside KNOW, deep inside of them, even if its the smallest thing, tat they wish they could change somthing about them. another thing, NOBODY can deny that they have never looked at a girls boobs, butt, hair, feet, anything.........or a guys muscles/body.........and never said to themselves, DAMN, i wish i had what that person has!!!!!

I think Celtic was just putting out a standard disclaimer: we're not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal. Viewing and I think even possessing porn are illegal for many of our users since this site caters to those 13 and older.
The thread is fine though. My first porn experience was actually what you're describing - a girl looking at porn created with heterosexual men in mind. For me though, it later helped me realize I'm bi.

I actually havent had bad experience with people knowing i look at porn, but that might be cause most of my friends are guys or just that they're all really open. I do know some people who would think im weird or sex crazed if they knew though, even though they're probably curious about it. A lot of people think girls talking about sex or masterbation is odd and disgusting even though they're probably thinking the same things. I hate that!

Um ... tell me if I've misunderstood what you're saying, but why look at porn (or anything else, for that matter) if it just makes you feel bad about your own appearance by comparison?
besides, i sometimes see these so call " porn girls", who have worst hair "head", then me, or small boobs, and there alot older than me, so it makes me happy i still have time to grow, etc.
it lets me know, there are people that ave worst features "in my opinion" than me. and makes me happy for that moment.
and just for everybodys record, i only pay attention, to the stomach and up
i dont wish i had other things, if you know what i mean

I dont think that it's icky for a person to look at that. I just think that a person looks at that to releave themselfs of tension built up inside and they want to find away to get there minds off of everything so they look at it hoping that it will make them feel better inside or to maybe know what that looks like for those who are new to the subject. Also some people look at it because they arent getting the right attention from there lover. Which I dont think is right cause even if you arent getting the right attention you should still be somewhat consiterate to what your love wants. Maybe they are in a low and dont want to do anything because it isnt going to make them happier.

Let's be clear here that plenty of people who are in relationships which they find totally satisfying look at porn, and it doesn't necessarily mean they're not getting the "right attention" from their partner or that they're being inconsiderate, any more than it does if someone still masturbates while they're in a relationship. It's a different thing - being in a sexual relationship with someone else doesn't mean you don't have your own individual sexuality as well.
For that matter, some couples watch/read porn *together*.

You know, you could try being positive about your body and your looks anyway, instead of only feeling happy when you think other people look "worse" than you. It's not a competition where someone has to lose in order for someone else to win .

I enjoy looking at pornography and reading erotic stories, etc. A lot of my friends think that I'm "gross", but they're outweighed by the number of friends I have that enjoy porn just as much as I do. I don't find anything wrong with being exposed to other people having sex, if it's consentual (spelling?). It allows me to explore my sexuality and the possibilities surrounding it.
I had an interesting excursion yesterday with my friend Michelle. We went to what's called "Gallery Hop" in the city where a lot of interesting stores are open until late at night, with people performing, restaurants open, and music playing. Hundreds of people show up to browse through the shops, and Michelle and I ended up going into a large book store. And there, on the top flat of the store, out in the open, was a mini-porn shop. It was crowded with gay couples, single women, groups of horny men, and people who were just "hanging out" around the dildo section. I, myself, being extremely open about sex, felt right at home, but Michelle wasn't quite sure how to act. She's generally conservative about sex, but once we started rummaging through the penis loli-pops and playing cards of naked women, she really got into it. We had a lot of fun looking through the books, movies, and flavored lubes, and eventually came back to the shop again before the night was over. I think secretely Michelle was interested in pornography, but wasn't quite sure about actually experienceing it. But there were so many people there just chatting, buying condoms like it was nothing, talking about the music, and picking up (porn), that it seemed to be quite a natural thing. I think she was a little stunned when we ran into her hair dresser and his "roommate" though. Of course we couldn't leave without picking up a few free condoms and a penis eraser. The night was complete!
I think some people are just uneasy about sex being out in the open, because in most of society it's considered an extremely pricate thing. But you never know how they'll act when you place 'em in a porn shop! They may just pick up (porn) on DVD.

I enjoy reading erotic stories (mostly anime/manga related) both straight and homosexual. Because I have my own computer, plus parents who respect my privacy, I can do this without having anyone knowing about it. --edited-- I think that people should be able to look at whatever they want without being called "icky" or "horny". --edited--
Porn = not icky

Hey I don't think there is anything wrong with looking at porn if you like it. People who deny it maybe were brought up taht it is abd or simething like that or think their friends will think they are weird or something. I don't see the big deal though..

I don't believe that whether or not you are looking at something 'directed at the other gender' is really an issue in a personal pursuit of enjoyment. I do often wonder if pornography is really directed at what we naturally want or what we're taught to want because it's all we see. I feel that while viewing pornography may be a satisfying activity for many people, there's something lacking to the idea for me - like acknowleging the intense beauty that reality offers. The pornography I have seen displayed simply makes me think I'm seeing a display of dolls, women who don't even look like animate beings. I wonder on hearing a fixation on pornographic photography called 'a healthy appreciation of the female body', when in fact the subjects portrayed bear so little resemblance to what a woman can be expected to be. (A fanciful concept of what could be, maybe, but not much of an appreciation for what is.) For some people seeing this sort of fantasy creature can be great, but I wish there was something more, something to show the full, rich life and free beauty of a real woman, a woman who hasn't been stripped of her power, which is such an incredible source of beauty to her. I find it difficult to be excited by something that seems so hollow, but maybe that's just me - I can't find the thrill of it. Should be no guilt in whatever satisfies you, if you're old enough and ready for it, either way. Fascination is a good thing.

Actually, quite a few people do feel the same way as you about conventional porn. And there are now a few people who have been exploring the possibilities of erotic photography which shows and celebrates individuals (female or male) with diverse and real bodies, in a generally sex-positive, feminist and life-affirming way.
