    @ kafka.
    I disagree with the statements made about porn and it being bad for a woman's view on sexuality/self-esteem. I had the exact opposite of experience, think porn can be an incredibly powerful sexual tool for women in learning about their own wants and desires, and that while it does generate a fantasy, it still doesn't mean that it will make sex disappointing.

    Most people I've talked to agree real sex is better than a computer screen.

    Not saying people don't get addicted, I just hate this idea that porn and women can't coexist when a lot of women I know LOVE porn and celebrate it.

    Teenagers have ALWAYS been reckless, loved challenging authority, acted rude on purpose to get attention, etc. The only difference is the amount of technology we have available now.

    I've already said that I think for women to feel good and empowered about their sexuality they need to be offered useful and accurate information about it - to discuss the importance of consent or that of communicating with your partner, not to mention birth control and reproductive health etc - watching straight men's fantasies doesn't tell women any of these things.

    I agree, I just don't think porn is inherently bad and damaging to females. I'm not suggesting it be supplemented as sex ed.

    I think that our generation isn't doomed. We need to improve, though. Too many people of today only care about themselves. They don't think about world problems or anything else. Plus, there's too many issues, like bullying. There's no need for them. Its not hard to be nice to people, or at least respectful. All I'm saying is, some people need to step up and try to help this world be a better place
