The Pornification Of A Generation

Parents are purposely turning over PARENTING/SUPERVISION to the schools, government, and other parents. Why? They are persuing their own selfish, often hedonistic, desires. They are role modeling this behavior for their children. Is it any wonder that kids are behaving this way? I mean, if a 12 year old is wearing a thong, who bought it for her? if a 13 year old is having sex its because she has been allowed to date unsupervised at such a young and inappropriate age. Start fining/penalizing the parents and a lot of this will stop. Parents, DON't put cable/internet in your young child's room where they have unfettered access to it. TURN OFF inappropriate programming/music when they come in the room. TALK about your values, right and wrong, and what others are doing and how it negatively impacts them and the rest of society OFTEN. LOOK AT YOURSELF and how you behave, drink, dress, socialize, and KNOW your kids are watching everything.

A vast oversimplification by a members of a generation that just don't understand what's going on today. None of these things are new - the only thing that has changed is that they are much less subtly expressed today. The real change isn't in the values - but in the elimination of the difference between public and private behavior.

Bratz dolls and their sick marketing schemes are hurting girls everywhere...a female's importance should not be reliant on her looks, whether she puts out, or how sleazy she dresses. but it breaks my heart that this is the message that girls are receiving at such a young age in which they are so moldable. I pray that no girls feel like they are "not pretty enough, not good enough," or that none of them give it up and end up pregnant or with stds, but sadly, such provocative dolls encourage girls to carry themselves like whores (inevitably be treated as such.) And what for? so some corporation can make a ton of money. I like the quote about a battle for one's daughter's soul. Please, please, there is already a generation being affected by paris/britney, but it is our responsibility to provide children with positive role models. sex is an amazing and beautiful thing between two people that love each other--you can do it however and whenever you want when you grow up and are in a positive relationship...but children's toys such as these dolls make sex look positive when hookers do it--and that the way to get someone to love you and want to have sex with you is to dress like a whore...don't raise this generation to be insecure over petty things, confident, productive, empowered girls are so much more important than some company preying on young people to make a profit.

When America and the world is demolished at second coming - maybe we will then wake up

Gee//a nation of people who dance around sex like we don't have the parts and aren't interested in it, try as hard as possible and wait as long as possible to talk about it...this isn't an issue of good and evil. Most parents...scratch that -- most people -- are too ashamed to even say penis or vagina, so I'm sure kids learn a lot from their blushing parents who spend five embarrassing minutes one day saying "don't do it." How informative. Teach your kids some self respect and what sex actually is and what your children are really worth and maybe they won't turn out so screwed up. And maybe if you stop acting like sex is not fun, nobody's interested, and we should be ashamed for our instincts and natural urges -- they won't realize just how quickly you are a fat liar AND hypocrite. Maybe if you let them in on the secret that it is one of the best and enjoyable experiences -- but just like driving -- you have to be old enough, well prepared, and know what you're doing before you hurt yourself or someone else.

YAY FOR TEH PORNOZ

kwithcherbellyachin: You want to know the real reason your history of fornication is there? For the answer, pray the 54 day Rosary Novena. Google it. Then wait until God shows you the demons he showed me. I guarantee, no matter the infinite terror of the moment, teh flesh will still demand more. But, as St. Paul says, "9:27. But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway."

And the Church explains:

I chastise, etc... Here St. Paul shews the necessity of self-denial and mortification, to subdue the flesh, and its inordinate desires.
Pray and fast dear. Hell is eternal and not to be toyed with. Trust me on this. I am a witness.

i f@&%ked Gene Simmons of KISS back in the day. I bought into the whole sexual liberation as a teen. Later as an adult I participated heavily in swing clubs across the country. My current lover is married. He and his wife host 20 couple adult parties at their place every six weeks where anything goes.
Here's what I've learned: Gene Simmons took pictures of most all the women he had sex with and used them later to bolster his own ego. I have had sex with over 1000 men and only one gave me money as I would have
nothing to do with him otherwise; he was my stepfather-in law and I was 18 at the time. Flash forward 40 years and though I've escaped any major non-treatable STDs, my libido is shot. I believe the over exposure to orgy sex and other forms of "free love" spoiled some part of my delicate sense of desire. Oh I want to, my body just won't do what it once did... blame old age, but I know it's more & I know of seniors older who seem to have very satisfying sex lives albeit not especially swinging from the chandeliers.
My married (to some one else) lover treats me like a sister he's incesting. I try to leave, he pouts and chases. He stays in my live other suitors pout and won't pursue me.
I sold mysuroound sound home theater 6 months ago. I have attended church with married lover for 8 years.

Bottom line, I'm going to try the old fashioned way of trying for a suitor who wishes to court me. If we work out, he will have full disclosure of my previous antic and as a couple he will know we may choose to visit or host adult parties if we agree. My idea of marital bliss is emotional monogamy where I know him better than anyone and vice versa. The idea of intrigue and secrets in a marriage or likewise liason sickens my stomach. I roll through life every day amongst causal acquaintances. The last causal acquaintance I want is in my bedroom.. I agree that sex is God given and a wonderful gift to be enjoyed. What I am saying is, too much can spoil us. And Gene, marry her for God sake and get over yourself!

As dead Beattle John Lennon said, "Imagine," if you will that there really is a Hell, and a devil and so many demons that they are like flies upon the earth. Just bear with me, won't you? Now, if Jesus said (a) that men who look upon women with lust in their hearts have committed adultry (a mortal sin which impels one to eternal torments); and (b) the Blessed Virgin Mary said at Fatima, after revealing the reality of Hell to the 3 shepherd childre, that more people go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason . . . then isn't this relentless parade of flesh and porn a little . . . errmmmmm . . . suspect? Hmmmm?

Grotesque. This "toy" smells worse than the baby high-heels. Toys of the "Bratz" nature need to be taken off the market to under 13-years. Truly, it would be best if Bratz just went away. I have looked 'em up and down. They belong in sex shops, not our children's bedrooms. A bad roll model. I am far from being a prud. Just very concerned about negative messages being sent to our youngsters.

Now i feel the need to precourse my view on this story by saying that i have seen some of the most perverted stuff that any human could imagine. My friends are the same way; all very encouraged by the opening up the conservative outrage about all things sex and porn. Im of the Clerks generation, and nothing (seriously) can offend me. However, there has to be a line when dealing with children. Come on people, the obserdity of comparing the 80's to today is beyond bogus; if today is pushing the envelope of the limits, the 80's were buried in the mail bin. I dont mind 16 and 17yr olds who want to dress like strippers, in fact, dont mind is an understatement, i love it (and be aware that the legal age of consent is 16 in most states, which it should be), but when were talking about stripper culture being marketed to 11 and 12 yr olds, its just a little too much; not for me, i dont care, but for society, and i get why parents are concerned, and yield to them on wether it needs to be taken on. The culture i want for the country is pretty outlandish for contemperary tastes, and i'm good with just rolling in my ever expanding drunken, degenerate, 20 something circle; but lets allow kids to be kids for a whie before we teach them how to sexualize themselves, at least till there old enough to realize that's what they're doing.

In the same vein as mybetterisbetter's comment, a big reason that the "pornification" has been able to happen is because of America's ultra-conservative tendancies. It is the same reason that we have such a problem with binge drinking among teens; they're always going to want to do what is bad, because it is exciting. They aren't supposed to drink, so they drink to excess. They aren't supposed to have sex, so they have sex to excess.

If parents would openly discuss this stuff with their children and help them develop a sense of right and wrong that is based on intelligent facts rather than religious catch phrases with no substance, I don't think we would have the problem we do now.

Let's face it, telling a kid "no, because I said so" is the surest way to make sure they do "it." But if you make them comfortable with the subject, teach them why one course of action is better than another, and help them form a respect for their own body/health/future, and they just might surprise you.

Just get your daughters on birth control at 13, and put condoms in the pockets of your kids regardless of gender, and lets just let them go buck wild; or i guess you could send them to non-coed boarding schools in Switzerland. Oh, or mabey you could just talk to your kids about the pluses and minuses of sex... no wait, thats just crazy.

The guy who wrote this incorrectly refers to anything of a sexual nature being porn derived. He needs keep the responsibility of raising his kid to himself and not ask the world for help. I personally think that american culture is already sexually repressive enough. Most european cultures laugh at America because of our hypocritical stance on pornagraphy. This writer is just one of the throw back purtians that squaks about actually having to raise their kids in world without boundaries. The last time I checked America is free country and as consequence for our freedom we have to be resposible for ourselves. if you feel like porn has corrupted your utopia you are well with in right to leave this country and go to a place where porn isnt allowed noone is keeping you here. but since your here and enjoy the rest of the freedoms that america provides is it really to much to ask you to raise our own kids without improper placing the all of socities sexual ills on porn. The truth is that there has never been a link between porn and sexual deviency and they have done the studies and most them say that most sexual devients don't even watch porn because of the lack reality . So Mr. sexually frustated author that sees porn in fishnet stocking you might want reevaluate your sexual being you know Sigmond would say about you.
