Questions About Porn

1. Is it likely that most women in committed relationships would be unhappy to very unhappy to learn that their partner was using pornography or even viewing porn on a regular basis? Would it depend on the type of porn?

2. Is this a reasonable position for these women to take? Or should they just get over it?

3. If a man is using or viewing porn that he suspects or knows that his wife would disapprove of, should he tell her? If it is affecting his interest in her, and she asks why, should he tell her?

4. Is it likely that many men who use or view porn even one hour per week become disenchanted with their flawed wives or feel frustrated because they know or suspect that their wives will not do the things they see in the porn?

5. Is it reasonable for parents to want their children to not view porn? Is it reasonable for society to take those parents desires into consideration?

6. Should the overall benefits of porn to some be weighed against detriments in deciding how to legislate how it gets into commerce.

7. Many divorce lawyers are pointing to Internet porn for men and chat rooms for women as a major contributor to the cases that are coming through their doors. Would this be a good reason to raise some alarms?

8. With declining populations in the most industrialized nations (Europe, Japan, Russia, do we need to be concerned if porn is diverting young men from having families in these cultures? (Obviously there are other reasons at the root of these declines, including general hedonism and cultural bias against the world population explosion.)

I posted this list of questions at http://blogcritics.org. It resulted in a lot of comments. If you'd like to see the thread it is still in the active forums today. After today, look for it in the archives. Same title.
