I don't believe it. My wife told me that was a myth. ;-)

Funny how some people get on their high horse about someone that watches a little porn, but on the other hand find it absolutely normal to carry a loaded gun.  In Europe I think it's more the other way around, not many people making a fuss about porn, but carrying a weapon is prohibitit by law and considered very abnormal behavior.  Not that I'm saying one is right and the other one is wrong.  Maybe we should just stop judging other people, he who is without sin ... :-)

OK fine, but why post it on a golf forum?

I'd seen it before, and I'm generally not a fan of those kind of charts. It's useless facts that doesn't surprise me anymore.

This is The Grill Room by the way, a category where people discuss their cars, beer, jokes, TV-series and hot TV announcers, why not porn statistics?

I'm not in favour of non-golf related items being posted on a golf forum. That's just my opinion, I understand other golf lovers come here to discuss things other than golf.

I was just curious when I saw the word porn spring up on my screen as I wasn't expecting it on a golf forum.

In a former life, I had clients in the adult industry.   It was quite entertaining (the law firm parties were epic).   I remember telling friends, "yea, I talked to the former Penthouse Pet of the Year earlier today" and they almost lost their minds lol.

It is a big business for sure, and you'd be surprised how "normal" the people involved in the industry are.  Most people only recognize the performers, but the business folks behind the business are pretty dang sophisticated.  The online adult industry is responsible for most the mainstream technology we use today (e-commerce, video streaming, etc.).  The business has taken a huge hit downward though with the proliferation of "tube sites" (i.e., stolen "free" content).

As for consumer consumption, like anything (even golf lol), too much can lead to bad results.  As long as you can function day to day, keep a job, have normal relationships with people, etc., not a problem.

I, for one, will totally buy into any thesis advanced by anyone with www.OnlinePsychologyDegree.net as their primary credential.

Ahh, a little porn is fine with me. As for the addiction, well IMO it depends on who did the study. If it was a right wing Christian group, then I am inclined not to take it at all serious; however if it was done by a university I'll peruse it. Which brings me to the observation of our culture where we use sex to sell everything, but by God you better not have it, (lol).

It makes me wonder when sex will come out of the closet in this country. Pretty sad when TV shows can show all sorts of blood & guts & violence, but God forbid we show any sex.

If in fact those stats are right then that just suggests how inmature and sophmoric we are as a society. But then again this country was founded by a bunch of up tight, prissy malcontents--no wonder we haven't changed, but don't you think it is about time to?

As for a porn thread on a golf site; if this was under golf instruction or something of that nature then "yes" it would be inappropreate. However, it seems to me this is the sundry section(s) for everything other than golf, so its appropreate. If one has a problem with it, as earlier posted, then don't bring up this thread. Its not rocket science.
