Is the Internet for Porn?

March 12th, 2008, in Internet, by Patung

A new government agency to tackle internet porn in the villages of Java.

Some say internet porn is more addictive than crack cocaine [1], and 25% of total search engine queries are said to be sex-oriented [2], with Indonesians seeming to be particularly affected, especially in rural areas.

Lots of people are jointing.

With this in mind, the minister for Communications, Muhammad Nuh, said in Kediri, East Java, on 9th March that the government intended to set up a special agency to deal with internet pornography and porn sites.

The new agency was especially needed now because his ministry was busy extending internet access services into rural and village areas, and it was worried that village folk would misuse the new technology to look at dirty pictures and movies. [3]

    Why don’t they just leave people seeing what they want?

    It seems the bigotry catholic southern europe 50 years ago.

    It’s the same for everyone. If men see a link to a porn site and it’s as easy to get to as a click of the mouse, well, they’ll click on it. For women, it is “rate your love life.” And in the old days it used to be - get your fortune told.

    One thing I do know is that porn is bad for you. It is not the beautiful thing god made sex to be. Most of the time porn is ugly and negative. Who feels better after watching it.

    Of course it’s funny, too. Sex is about the funniest thing there is. But it’s also powerful, and anything ful of power should be respected. Not turned into a hurtful panoply of circus images.

    Many of my high school friends in America watch porn. It’s more of an oddity to us than anything else. It gives us something to talk about.

    One of my friends likes to watch it with her boyfriend. They are sexually active. It makes me worried because even though they both know that what they see on those video’s isn’t the real thing, there are some images and concepts that just never go away. At some point things like that hit your subconcious, and whatever you let start to bounce around in there stays there.

    I mean, we are confused enough about what is correct behavior anyway, let alone what is the right way to act during sex. If we let disturbing images like those you see on porn enter your thoughts there will be consequences. The world is sick and disturbed enough.
