    I dont watch porn at work. Period. The day I even think about watching, is the day I will know that I hate my job and my employer. I hope I will never get to experience that. So, let me divert a little and state the following:

    The porn industry's gift to their viewers: Induce aversion and disgust by unfailingly showing scenes where male actors ejaculate semen on the faces of the actresses, subject the women to multiple male penetration, rough up the female genitalia with unnatural sexual acts. . It is cringe-inducing disgust all over, a ceaseless abuse of female body to satisfy the sexual whims of a few queer males with deviant sexual fantasies. There is virtually no intimacy displayed between the actors, an important ingredient that induces eroticism.

    My hope is that Holywood would tap in to the adult entertainment business and provide consumers with a sanitized version of a porn to produce erotic films that portray intimacy and normal sexual copulation portrayed by able actors and actresses. Untli then the filth in films produced by the AVN will stand. Some of us males are actually disgusted by act of spraying the faces of young, innocent and attractive females with semen ejaculations that is unseemly and unsightly. Most of us do not do it to our wives, or girlfriends. it is not manly. It is abusive and victimizing.

      Who cares about your playboy resume? The subject is professionalism or is that word too big for your bunny intellect?

      • Posted By: markci @ 11/30/2008 10:23:15 AM

        Actually the subject is quite obviously pornography at work, which apparently IS too big for your "bunny intellect."

    What angers me the most about this is that while the more productive potential workers (like myself) are consistently jumping through hundreds of hoops to polish up our resumés with college degrees and experience for the almighty hiring managers, the hiring decisions they finally make are these idiots. Good job, HR, while the rest of us are getting passed by because we didn't wear the right tie, or maybe because we don't play the "favor game" that inevitably got many of these chowderheads hired in the first place. .

    As a Technical Consutant/Network Engineer/Network Administrator (glorified IT guy...) I see this on a regular basis. This article is fairly inaccurate, as is the comment by ru4real6846. The reason I say this is because it is usually the "bosses" that are the most guilty. A couple other reasons are the improper capitalization of "the Internet", and the missing fact that most viruses are actually contracted through emails, and also most people at work are exposed to the porn through emails and don't "willingly" browse to it while browsing the internet.

    A few tips for everyone to consider:
    1) No matter how proud you are of your position at work, and no matter how high up the ladder you may be, it is your IT department that holds the fate of your company in it's hands. Without them, you would not be able to work and therefore your company would cease to exist.

    2) Your IT guy(s) can see EVERYTHING that you do without so much as lifting a finger a couple times. It is so simple as a matter of fact that it can be done from home.

    3) Email is NOT private in any way shape or form. Not only is it easy for hackers to intercept and redirect email, it is also a matter of 3 clicks for your IT guy to have an exact duplicate copy of your "mailbox" on a different computer without your knowledge.

    4) Deleting a file only deletes the file for people who do not have above average computer knowledge. With simple downloadable freeware software one can recover deleted files 99.999998 percent of the time (and I am talking about after you empty your recycle bin). I have recovered files with a 100% sucess rate on a hard drive that was formatted 3 times.

    5) You are not sneaky, nor will that little trick your overacheiving computer genius child taught you outsmart a professional computer technician.

    6) Browsing the internet should be treated like sex. If you do too much of it without the proper protection and education, you are bound to catch something undesireable.

      The Internet is in fact capitalized, brainiac.

  • Posted By: glasgowkiss73 @ 11/30/2008 7:01:54 AM

    Why on earth dont these companies have internet filters on therefore access to any site deemed ''unsuitable'' would automatically be blocked. Here in the UK this is standard business practice . A Simple yet very effective solution. I must question the thought process of anyone who thinks it is acceptable / suitable / morally correct to view porn at work . Seriously. - take a look at yourself!

      Because here in the United States we still believe in the right to choose and live with the consequences.

    Porn does not belong at the work place. Fire them on the spot and the problem will be solved..

    Secular psychologist and the idea that we are apes also makes this seem like itis no big deal. You have homosexual relationships becoming a norm and many claim that "well hetero people are bad and getting dicvorced anyway" , when all the while men should be working on the marriage thinking about sex only with there partner, working and developing intimacy with the there wife solely, no matter what the sacrifice. It is wrong that American education seems to say anything goes in this area. We are made in God's image. God made sex , but man perverts it and misuses it. There is really no one to blame anymore but ourselves, selfish , selfish selfish. Only One can change your heart and start you new. Wise men still seek Him.

      man made god sara to explain what he does not understand, nothing more dear, there is no god, just social control for the confused

        Sorry URQ "All things denote that there is a God" Those of you that exercise your right to deny him are the confused. The power to create should not be abused in any way. It is sacred. Our society has been fed these lies and this filth for so long now that it is viewed by many as acceptable. In reality the sexual exploitation of women is leading us down the path of destruction from within. Most of the problems we face in society can be traced to infedelity.

    What is wrong with people, I support the earlier comment! Fire them on the spot! Also, fire the sports nuts as well! Something else, that earlier comment about typical TNB! This idiot has a problem, this comment is typical of idiots that infect our society with their racist rants! You are just as morally bankrupt as the people you complain about! They complain to anybody who will listen about people who make race an issue, but yet these people are the biggest offender of this conduct. why don't you go some where and repent! Oh yeah I forget, you repented at church last week right! Hipocrite! Don't try to check yourself, because you've already wreck yourself! As always, a little bit of truth and a whole lot of error!

    Fire 'em! That'll give 'em some incentive to work rather than perv at ribbish.

    Sex is one of the most pleasurable things we do in life. It's genetically infused for reproduction purposes. Why deny what most of love as much as we can get it?

    I don't agree with your take on things, but I have to say I respect your opinion and I appreciate that the way you expressed your beliefs were not harmful, hateful, vitriolic, or particularly preachy even though what you have expressed is obviously a product of and strongly influenced by your faith. I think if more people who share your beliefs were willing to express them in that manner, more people would be willing to have a meaningful dialogue about these issues and that might actually lead to something positive.

    hey oil burns learn to live and let live. I wont judge you for not watching it and you shoudln't judge me for watching it. And when a guy wants to see a naked woman he hardly qualifies as queer, as you put it. And you shouldn't be using that word as an insult anyways, since there is nothing wrong with being queer. And these fantasties are not deviant seeing as everybody involved is a consenting adult. And there is porn out there with the intimacy you described. There are a lot of different kinds of porn out there to satisfy all the different kinds of fantasties held by all the different people of the world. You can watch what makes you tick, but don't judge others for liking something different than you like.

  • Posted By: billheber @ 11/30/2008 1:48:01 AM

    I can't think of a stupider thing to do at work than to try to watch porn. No. 1 it will get you fired. No. 2 how can you umm, satisfy yourself after being aroused at your desk? I am no prude. but really how stupid can you get?

    This is the feeling of every man in America -that's why this quote was sooooooo great in American Beauty.

    My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the a-holes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble hell

    Then he goes on to say the only way he could deal is if he started fire bombing.

    Maybe if people spent more time visiting sites about how to improve their marriage instead of porn sites our rate of divorces would decline.

      Or, maybe if we eliminate so-called "welfare" programs, women would quit going lesbian on their men and satisfy them.

    Creating family is not only driven by love but by responsibility!

    As an IT professional in the business for 15plus years, Smokified is 100% correct. I would like to know where Anna Kuchment and Karen Springen got their data for this article, as some of it is very misleading.
