    Anyway, watching porn is connected to your need to reproduce.

    It's only a stupid question if you don't have a brain.

    Things happen for a reason. God forbid we try to uncover that reason on a (GASP) science discussion board.

    Hmmm... I'll have to trust you on this.

    Is there an evolutionary purpose for this to be?

    I do not think I have those cells...since when I watch people eat, I do not get hungry. I think somebody made up that theory because people yawn when they see others yawn sometimes....that is a great leap forward....imagine blind people....

    I don't know if there are actually ``mirror cells'', but it does seem reasonable to assume that actions of others CAN influence us somewhat in this manner.

    Empathy.
    A neural mechanism for such.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neurons

    Actually, the theory originated by numbing areas of the brain which damp down the mirror neurons impulses. When this happens, when you see a hand grasping, your hand grasps involuntary. If you really want to find out whether or not you're a freak of nature and don't possess these neurons then you should sign up for experimentation.

    The.........objection to pornography is based on our belief that pornography represents hatred of women, that pornography's intent is to humiliate, degrade and dehumanize the female body for the purpose of erotic stimulation and pleasure. We are unalterably opposed to the presentation of the female body being stripped, bound, raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered in the name of commercial entertainment and free speech.

    Brownmiller is a feminist, so easy to just dismiss, but she's right isn't she?

    No she isn't. Depends on the type of porn. Obviously she is into sado-mazo-bondage....

    Also, isn't it better if we live out our dirty little fantasies in virtual reality than in real life?

    In the 70s when in Sweden porn became legal, the number of sexual crimes dropped....

    Well, depends on what you mean by evolution? If mans hormones lets him go to a shop and buy a porno, then yeh... but bottom line is, it excites us, so we do watch them, and then have a cheap wank.

    Mind my cruedness.

    Forget about this porn business, all I want to know is:

    Why dogs love treats???

    Because they are simple minded. Humans like treats too, so we are pretty simple minded too.

    Airport, two days ago - not specifically a Harlequin, technically, I guess. But there's a well-stocked shelf of such books in the newsstands - somebody's buying them. I used to know a woman who had figured out the formula for them - there's usually coffee mentioned between certain pages, etc.

    I haven't seen a young man buy a Hustler in years.

    But I just chose the brands for the euphonic initial letter. The principal - that porn for the goose is not intrinsically morally superior to porn for the gander - remains.

    And of course we are including grandmothers and grandfathers in this discussion, aren't we? They like porn, often.

    It's not that porn isn't arousing for essentially all humans, it's that the degree of and reaction to the arousal varies by gender. Why do men search out that form of arousal, more diligently than women, in this culture ?

    Women may not watch porn as much, but that sure doesn't stop them from reading it. I mean Cosmo is a pretty popular magazine and there's porn in there, but you don't have to be 18 to buy pornographic books from the bookstore, if they are labeled as romances.

    I've always wondered, if a guy uses his masculine hand, likes it, and gets off, does that make him gay? What about if he is limber and can orally stimulate himself? :shrug:
