Too much sex in entertainment?

Religious zealots drive me crazy. I don't mind religion, in fact I respect all religions, despite my non-religious status. However, when a religious person or number of people take their beliefs and enforce them on others, I become rather hostile. I watch lots of pornographic material, but it has never affected my relatons with females. Respect has always come first for me, and the few girls I know (I'm not so popular, eh) would surely back me up on that statement. Do not discredit my moral values by lumping me in with a group of people with either lower intelligence or lacking moral code. Abconners, your opinion that sexuality with pleasurable intent is immoral and a sin is your own, and nothing more. In ours and other's society, the freedom of choice comes first. By creating a ban on sexuality in the entertainment business, you take away my choice to view such a thing. By allowing it to persist, you never lose the choice of not watching it. If you do not want to see it, or do not want your children to see it, then turn the television or computer off. No one is forcing you to view the material, no one is forcing you to watch the film, and no one is forcing you to masturbate or have sex for pleasure. Set your religious fanaticism aside, and replace it with common sense, please.
 
There is nothing wrong with sex, its perfectly normal and in my opnion needs to be treated with much less taboo.
on the other hand I believe graphic violence has got out a fair bit out of hand in the media, making it widely avalible to young people, which is much worse then sex which is a completly natural thing.

well, if you think about it enough.. it is kinda nasty. i mean, you're taking a blood-swollen, hypodermic needle made of spongy meat and pushing it into a mucous-oozing permanently-gaping wound. oh and both of these lovely organs live very close to where we excrete our offal. :naughty: :x

JESUS CHRIST, KID! How old are you!?
 
Sex is fun
Sex is fun with someone you love
Sex is fun with someone you just love for the moment
Sex is needed to multiply
Sex is nice
Sex... sex... sex... I wan't my gf here atm... :(
Oh well... i can live 1 day without it...

More sex for the people!!
 
If I want sex I go and watch a porn movie on playboy channel :D

I say, leave action, sci-fi...etc movies clean and to the point.
 
Well, I believe porn doesn't objectify women (or men depending on the variety). It objectifies the woman (singular) or man (singular) currently being portrayed. Or, come to think of it, limited plural, again depending on the variety.

I think pornography is horribly tacky and (obviously) gratuitous but I object to the idea that, were I to watch ten straight hours of the stuff, I'd suddenly become an abusive womaniser/rapist/arsehole. It's alongside any scapegoat theory. Video games > violence anyone?

If there's a sex scene in a film or series, it needs to be relevant to the story and/or character development, otherwise it automatically gets grouped with the above scenario.

The media's "obsession" with all forms of fornication won't destroy society- we're quite capable of doing it ourselves without the aid of pictures/videos of naked people.

Timmy...one of these days.. a HL2.net member gone crazy is gonna try killing u for that above description, but don't worry, myself and a few others will stop it :)
 
I'm beginning to become more and more concious of the amount of pornography in modern entertainment. Sometimes I like it if it fits the media, but when it's laid on so thick just to keep you watching, it gets really aggitating and depressing...

Oh, and heres whats wrong with Euthanasia. Obviously, these aren't my words, but these are very good reasons for why it shouldn't be legal:
1. Legalized euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide entail the direct killing of persons.
2. Killing is incompatible with caring, and it is the elderly, the disabled, and the poor who will be put at risk.
3. The purpose of the medical profession is to perserve life, not destroy it. Doctors who cure and heal should not be agents of death. Legalized euthanasia would make a doctor a person to be feared rather than a person to be trusted.
4. The legal permission to die can easily be the duty to die. Terminally ill patients will feel pressured to die to spare their families or their communitities an emotional and financial burden.
5. Unscrupulous persons will try to arrange for the death of an enemy or a wealthy relative.
6. Doctors in the Nethrlands, where physician-assisted suicide ahs been legal for years, annually kill hundreds of patiens who did not request death.
7. Legalized euthanasia would less the incentive for medical research to cure some terminal illnesses or to lessen the suffering of those afflicted with them.
8. Some patients suprise doctors by coming out of comas or by recovering from terminal illnesses; legalixed euthanasia would kill them first.
9. Patients in most states already have the legal right to refuse any treatment they don't want. Dying is not "undignified"; it is part of being human.
10. With competent medical care, no one needs to die in unrelenting pain. Doctors should kill the pain, not the patient.

Don't be so naive.

All these reasons listed above can be replaced by the one real reason. Doctors don't CURE shit. If these rogues are allowed to kill then the other greedy doctors can't pump you full of drugs and patch ya up to the next incident that requires medical attention. I think the last cured disease was Polio. I think the last case of Polio was in the 50's. Noticed they have no cure for AIDS or Cancer but they have found ways for you to live longer with the disease with medical assistance. The same reason why we still drive gas cars. Someone is making assloads of money.
 
Are you saying that scientists know how to cure these diseases but arent telling anyone to make money?? LOL
The first person to find a cure for aids or cancer would probably end up a billionaire, and go down as one of the most famous people in history.
 
I think we need to get from having sex to making love, there is nothing more special then making love to a beautiful lady.
 
the other day i was watching TV and this one Twix ad comes on where a chic asks a guy to save the second Twix bar for her so she can have it later but then changes her mind as soon as she steps out of the room.

comes back in and asks for the for bar and the guy doesn't give it.. a big "give it to me" ensues with her on top of the guy.

now while this ad is running my mother walks into the room and u guessed it, i felt embarrassed enough to change the channel just to avoid this ad.
now i am fully comfortable with my sexuality and such but having an ad implying sexual innuendo in front of my mother? errr.. no thanks :|

seriously, some times stuff is taken too far on television.

watched a Pedro Almodovar film (my first mistake, anyone who's seen one can attest how graphic he can get) with my mother, my female cousin, aunt and 2 brothers ..there's a scene in one movie where the main character performs oral on his girlfriend ...didnt see it but it was pretty obvious what was going on ...looked at my brothers and they seemed just as embarrassed as I was ....no big deal, the women didnt mention that scene when discussing the movie later ...so dont sweat the Twix bar commercial ;)
 
Only aussies would know what im on about :naughty:

and yes it is of topical relivance...

How completely ignorant. Disgusting to be honest.

I'm glad that I've got the option here for euthanasia when I have a terminal disease. There is no point in continuation of the suffering when the outcome is the same: death.
If you really love your loved ones, you would grant them the ending of their suffering, only a cruel man would want them to suffer longer. It doesn't "promote" killing, it requires the approval of at least 2 doctors, your family and yourself, it's not something you can just do or something you can just decide over night.

My grandfather was put to sleep when he only had a few days to live and suffered immense pain and this way had the oppurtunity to say farewell when he was still in a state where he could speak, and you wanna make that suffering even longer?

6. Doctors in the Nethrlands, where physician-assisted suicide ahs been legal for years, annually kill hundreds of patiens who did not request death.

Right. We're mass slaughtering them like animals. In fact, when someone who has the flu and goes to the doctor, the doctor shoots them on sight. Oh no wait, he hits them on the head with a rock, because after all, we're not civilized, ugah bugah! :|

Like I said above, it requires permission from many people.

Do you honestly believe that bullshit you copy pasted? If so, you make me sick.

As for sex on tv: how typical, complaining about stuff that's perfectly natural (and explicit stuff is only shown after a certain hour or certain channel) while people are getting killed on tv in the most gruesome ways for all kids to see.

Like with Team America, puppets being beheaded and killed is fine, but oh noes, they're having puppet sex!!! Quickly ban it!
Watch the South Park episode: Good times with weapons.

Pathetic....

alright now you piqued my curiosity, what's a cougar?

here, a cougar means an older woman who cruises for young guys ...so you can see how calling somebody's mother a cougar could lead to a black eye ;)
 
I watched There's Something About Mary with my parents and little sister. During that one scene in the bathroom my sister said "what's that noise?", no one knew quite what to say...

Its a TV ad.

http://www.fosters.com.au/spirits/brands/spirits/cougar_bourbon.asp

For cougar brand bourbon, the guy in line at a bar thinking "2 gin and tonics, 2 vodkas and a scotch" over and over in his head. the guy in front turns around with his drinks (2 cougars) and looks at them strangely like he wasnt ment to order them. then the guy walks up to the bar and the chick turns around with huge boobs in a tiny shirt with cougar written across the chest. and the guy (now with a dumbstruck look on his face) and says "5 cougars thanks"

the ad was an instant hit and ever since me and my mates (and undoubtably the rest of the aussie male population) when we'd see a chick walk by with a nice pair we'd say "5 cougars thanks"

The reason i bought it up was that the ad was critisized for being sexist...
