The Porn-Factor

Watching porn is bad for you apparently. Well tell that to my optician, he will tell you that I have perfect 2/2 vision.

However MPs have claimed that pornography is too easy for teenagers to get hold of on the internet. Thank god they didn't spend too much on experts to work that one out.

The question is though, is watching dirty films in your formative years a bad thing? At least it isn't a solitary experience, because as all men know you are never alone with a dirty magazine and a roll of loo paper.

A Small Mind of course had to grow up in a time before such Internet thrills due to his extreme age. A computer in his day featured pixelated cartoon breasts and not a whiff of the Internet. Therefore the dirty magazine was his mainstay of entertainment.

However I deviate (not for the first time), the question is what actual damage does it do to a young mind? Probably a lot less than those suits in London think, I am sure when they were young they were rubbing Jimmy up the right way frequent enough, and look what its done for them. The Internet though does provide a much more vivid and graphic experience, so I am told. Out there is a much more shocking experience than staining that ragged copy of Penthouse or Readers Wives ever did.

I seriously think that Internet and computer usage is still the responsibility of the parents, and not the nanny state. Whether the fact that little Johnny might go out and kill someone after playing Grand Theft Auto, or other devious things after watching Shaven Sluts 3 is not going to be something that the government can control and in all likelihood these things don't happen anyway apart from in the world of the Daily Mail. Like all crimes and deviant ideas, it is in the mind of the individual and not created by films and games.

Having said all this, if I hadn't had so much access to porn through the years, I might still be able to walk straight, not see things all blurry and not get hard when I go into the local newsagents.
