No, of course not.

But pornography provides additional encouragment, that's all.

I agree with you Mr. Fun

Hmmmmm.....maybe, but you'd be surprised how inaccurate human memory can be when personal pride is involved.

So are all you early bloomers happy with the way that your nascent sexuality blossumed?

I have read that children in the US (particularly girls) are going through puberty at a younger age

I suppose alot of this is a religious/personal morality type of issue, but as I pointed out it could lead to warped attitudes depending on what exactly the porn is. Also, many feminists have said that pornography degrades women.

"it happens. When kids become sexually active they need to relieve themselves,"

Can you prove that? They may have desires to do so, but then you just can't act on any desire. You might desire to hit that teacher who is being really annoying, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

porn does degreade women and men

Not necessarily.
I'd post some links as proof, but

Beautifull childhood memories:
Yes, I dreamed about "doing" it with my teacher, she was aprox 25-28. I was 12!!! I did not know what "doing it" precisely was, but I knew it was something good. And I always kept it to myself. At the tender age of 14 I discovered "killing kittens" and porn. No regrets about that. I can safely say porn did not twist my idea of a women model. I just used/use porn to feel good. Never too much, but not too little either. [can't believe I'm writing this]
Oh, and I am engaged already, but that doesn't mean that I'm dead.

But the big question is: when did you all have your first stiffy?

I have a very accessible girlfriend; she's at hand 24 hours a day

So how do you feel about kids watching violent movies or TV shows? (Okay, so Mr. Fun's changed his mind, but how about Jon Miller?)

--"I have read that children in the US (particularly girls) are going through puberty at a younger age"

This is much more likely to be a reaction to something like good nutrition than to viewing porn

--"porn does degreade women and men"

Heh. Some of the stuff is actually done quite well, and doesn't really count as degrading. Your statement is a bit too much of a generalization.
BTW, what about boxing? Is it degrading? If not, why?

Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

Yes, but that's been true for 40 years now. You still can't produce sperm prior to developing at least a full "beard" of downy pubic hair and testicular enlargment. It's a physiologic fact. I'm not an expert, I'm a physician. I had to learn this. I've seen probably thousands of peri-pubescent kids for sports physicals. The sequence of events is really remarkably precise.

You know, if you were so young that you didn't know what you were doing maybe you shouldn'y have been doing it. It could be argued that you weren't "relieving tensions". Did you learn to do this entirely on your own initiative or did someone expose you to it?

"Stiffys" can even happen during infancy.

Serious questions!

At what age roughly can a boy first ejaculate?

What is the average 'refractory period'?
(i.e. the time between orgasm and when the next erection can be achieved - it can range from 3 minutes to 24 hours!)

Pornography is nice. People make money and people are made happy. I don't feel threatened by girls with huge boobs, they look nice, big deal.

Boys can generally ejaculate when they've reached Tanner Stage 2+ or 3 of sexual development.

the only thing wrong with porn is the under current messages....

--that people are their body parts and not the sum of the whole.

--no one has the bodies printed in the porn....its all
mostly airbrush and computer inhanced

...so it sets up an unrealistic goal or ideal...that no young girl or woman can attain to without having some eating disorder..

and ive seen here "men" talk about a beautiful woman who has been a centerfold.....a picture of her without all the makeup and
in her natural state...she is suddenly someone to make fun
of or say is ugly..

sex is natural and bodies nothing to be ashamed of...
but young girls shouldn't be made to feel inferior to
something thats an illusion.

I was a late bloomer. I . . . well, uhm






















. . . I believed them when they said masturbation was morally wrong and made you have more acne and maybe the hair on the palms thing too.



I think that there is a paticular problem that Playboy causes, which is it sets up an unrealistic fantasy for men on what sexually attractive women are supposed to be. Since most women don't have impossibly skinny waists, flawless skin, and gravity defying breasts, it's a little hard to find a perfect women.

However, as a child, I was extemely in favor of children, or one particular child at anyrate, having access to porn. I felt the same as a teen, and I see no reason for that belief to change now. I expect I will probably change my views when I have children, but that will be hypocritical of me.
