Weekend homework: research on porn (http://www.samachar.com/showurl.htm?rurl=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1371900.cms?headline=Weekend~homework:~research~on~porn)
BROOKLYN: A high school assignment to research and write about Internet pornography was canceled after parents complained, the school's superintendent said.

The 14- and 15-year-old students at Brooklyn High School, outside of Cleveland, Ohio, were asked to research pornography on the Internet and list eight facts about it. They were also asked to write about their personal view toward the subject and their experience with it.;)

Superintendent Jeff Lampert said that although teacher Scott Gioia's apparent goal to discuss the harmful effects of pornography was well-intentioned, he agreed with parents that the assignment was inappropriate for students.

Lampert said he doubted Gioia, who has been at the school for five years, would face punishment. After he began getting calls Wednesday, Lampert met with the principal and Gioia, a health and physical education teacher, and they decided to drop the project.

I don't think you need to tell 14-15 year olds to look at porn though the excuses would be priceless:D

I do wonder if the teacher had instructed his students to ignore all those "only enter this site if you are over 18 years old" warnings... and if that would be a criminal act under US law ?

If you have shitty parents, fuck, sex itself is bad. That's pretty common in this country, actually. :p

Which gets to my point: Porn isn't bad for you.

...Though some of it does exploit a lot of people.

Nope. I only once bought porno, and that was for a 15 year old who paid me $20 for it.

Yes, but even then that's not necessarily porn at fault either.

yeah, but imagine those people who didn't have a pc or the hard drive space for their pr0n collection. you need a stack at least 1.5 meters high

Yeah, true. It's pretty hard to find anything truly "bad" about it, that's for sure.

yes, but if it's the cause of pr0n that causes the problem, many will consider the pr0n to at least be partly responsible

Meh. I don't have a porn collection anyway. Yay for streaming video. :p

The obvious solution is to keep it all in boxes in the closet so that it can't fall on you. *shrugs*

Then there's the seriously god-awful acting on the softcore movies they show on HBO and Cinemax. Though, it really isn't bad, because after all: Laughter is the greatest gift of all.

Put it this way, if they're in a position where they *need* to resort to porn to make a living, they're going to be exploited in some fashion even if porn was illegal.

Son, there are plenty of free picture sites out there suitable for one as afflicted as yourself. :p

adelaide, australia. though at one of them they were all engineering girls. admittedly, engineering girls are pretty hot and some of them owe me for services rendered.

Sure, but do you really want to get the giggles while, um, concentrating on something else? Sarcastic eye rolling doesn't seem very conducive here.

Pfft. Who pays attention to those?Hopefully nobody, considering how bad they are. But I still think that a really good storyline would add A LOT to the hotness/eroticism of the whole thing. But, meh, I'm not a guy, so what do I know about how your little brains work. :p

if you want an amusing storyline, watch some hentai, that stuff's great. some are hilarious, some would probably be good with their storyline. plus you can unrealistic stuff, yay

I can see your point, but how do you have porn with a good storyline anyway? You know it's going to end up with sex anyway. How do you have a credible plotline centered totally around sex? How do you convincingly develop a character and then change it to "OMG SMUTTY 20 MINUTE SEX SCENE" without ruining the story in the first place?

depends on the person and the hentai, not everyone can easily get real life tentacle pr0n, but it's common in hentai :p

That, and there's fuck all to do in Adelaide. Sorry, but it's true. The weather and everything is nice, (can't comment on traffic 'cause I use public transport anyway), but it's simply boring. And your beer sucks.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I can only see it working up to a certain point, i.e. I've often thought when watching a non-porn movie with a really good love/sex scene "See, this is the way porn should be like - I'm turned on just by watching them make out a little with their clothes on, so wouldn't it be great if porn was like that, just that, instead of the fade-out, we get to see what happens next?" Now, "making out a little with their clothes on" is NOT hot/sexy in a porn movie, because it's just a stupid set-up where the guy entered the scene 4.3 seconds earlier delivering a pizza. In a non-porn movie, you get all the flirtation, chemistry, horniness etc. of the characters, so when they end up making out it actually is hot.
But yeah, while I can totally imagine a movie where making out a little with their clothes on would turn into an "OMG SMUTTY 20 MINUTE SEX SCENE", repeatedly so. But in order for the characters/story to be compelling, there'd have to be parts in between the sex that obviously would have to be longer than in your usual porn movie.
So, like I said, I would watch it, but I doubt most guys would, seeing as I'm pretty sure they already fast-forward to the action as it is.

Oh come on, those are the second best thing in porn! Just today I watched a film featuring a quite stereotypical nice, shy, bookish girl, who turned out to have a vaginal piercing and quite a large tattoo on her lower back. I mean, the main reason to watch porn should be quite obvious, but it's the storylines and the little details that make it FUN. :)
