Satisfying? Ooookay. I did get a good laugh out this thing with a midget in it that the idiots at the barracks were watching one time, though...

Producers of pornography have one goal in mind: money. They couldn't care less of what consequences their product causes in the "consumers". Consumers of pornography are people with serious emotional and social deficiencies. Nothing good ever came out of it, on the contrary, many bad things were committed buy people who were and are avid consumers of this poison. If the victims of this depravity were the "consumers" it wouldn't matter much. But, unfortunately, innocent people become victims of these "sexual predators".

I think it depends on the person.  I mean its not gonna be everybody's cup of tea,  but alll in all I think pretty much every average guy has some form of porn.  Why not?  It can be fun to watch on occasion, or with ur lover (as long as it's nothing sick lol).  Also I been meeting quite a few women lately who even enjoy it from time to time.  So ya'll need to lighten up a lil and quit being so conservative. Theirs nothing wrong with watching gorgeous women (men for the ladies) do what you enjoy doing.

In my experience, porn has only led to hurtful addictions that hurt my time management skills and the way I treated my female friends. Sure, it's emotionally satisfying, but in the same way that cigarettes are. The only good that comes is the good of the moment, but in the long run, only bad can come from it. And that's not even referencing the many passages in the Bible that tell me to flee from lust and sexual immorality. And that's also not even mentioning that porn degrades women and perpetuates negative stereotypes about men's and women's physical image.

It does take the edge off when you're an adolescent with rampaging hormones and no other outlet, but as you get older and acquire (hopefully) actual sexual experience, watching it or reading must become as monotonous as watching 2 (or, depending on the kind of porno you're interested in, 3 or 4) people saw wood. Akin to a glutton watching other people eat without partaking himself, I would think.

Emotionally satisfying, I can't see it, physically satisfying well that would depend on who you were with?

Get a girl/guy!

There is probably a small percentage of people who view porn as a way to spice up their own sex life or try something new or offbeat in the bedroom, but I can't see it as being an emotionally satisfying experience for most people. It's like a starving man paying money to watch a film of someone else eating.

Can't handle porn? You're a recessive trait- a weakling who should be eaten at the watering hole. Porn rules, but it is philosophically or physically satisfying- not emotionally satisfying.

Considering the majority "bum rap" this subject is receiving here, it would seem that a touchstone of moderate consideration should come about at some point. Pornography has been wrongly reviled for centuries, by the same frustrated prudes who can't fathom the ideals behind autonomous freedom. Surfacing time and again despite theistically-governed dunkings, this is an expressive outlet that, when embarked upon by consenting individuals, satisfies a plethora of physical and psychological desires. From an end-user's perspective, it has the beneficial qualities of privacy and medical safety (among others). Folks partake of porn along the same lines as they do philosophy and poetry: as a tool of entertaining self-discovery that allows them to enhance a specific worldview. Is this universally appropriate? Of course not (although the trillion-odd dollars generated by the industry leads me to conclude that more than a handful of people are occupationally-inclined in this arena), but suppressive witch hunts shouldn't be the order of the day, either. Like it or not, it'll ALWAYS be available for the curious, the guilt-ridden, the adventurous, and the rebellious.

Call me a Puritan maiden. It just disgusts me.

Anyone to get any emotional satisfaction from this (especially if they are married) should read Matthew 5:27-28. As far as God is concerned, if you even look at another woman (on purpose) lustfully, you have committed adultery in your heart, which is serious in the eyes of God. Anyone who encourages or makes pornography is perverted. Pornography is offensive and any woman or man who would pose for these photos has no respect for themselves.

Its no excuse for an actual physical experience with another person, but I won't lie and say it doesn't do something for me.
