Is Internet Porn Corrosive And Potentially Dehumanizing?

In my opinion it is and on a number of different levels.

It's delivered discretely, directly to your computer. No furtive visits to stores for mags as in the old days.

Nothing coming through the postbox. Nothing physical to hide from an unsuspecting spouse. The sercret is safe as long as your not caught in the act.

It's available on tap to order 24/7 and that requires more secrecy and deception; it's not unheard of to be on a home computer from 9pm until almost 4am.

I was just interested in images of glamourous women yet realised the variety of categories on individual sites was overwelming, ranging from my soft porn glamour to the utterly depraved and dehumanizing. To me, it's a bit like a bottomless pit in one sense, with those hooked being dangled from a continous fishing line that runs top to bottom; the makers are at the bottom pulling the line down.

Years ago, most who read pornography didn't visit prostitutes or seek out others in order to engage in sex. Today, such activities are virtual with the likes of web cams and instant text messaging via computer. Today, people seem oblivious to the hazards of uploading movies of themselves [with or without a partner] engaging in whatever sexual fantacies they can think of.
