While surfing the Internet I found a blog that gave the top ten reasons for porn. I decided to comment on http://sugarbank.com/2006/04/13/ten-things-to-thank-porn-for/ because his top ten reasons are well written, true to anyone under 25, and semi-humorous, and up for much debate. I think SugarBank has done a good job justifying, normal, legal porn.
A few of his points were centered on great sex and blowjobs. Most people in their twenties today seen porn well before they had seen or touched a real body part. He said that porn was a good teacher for all of us. I agree. Watching porn before you engage in sexual acts can make you feel more comfortable about what to do. SugarBank made me laugh when he said that before 1980 women did not know men could last for more than 12 seconds, and now we know 
) His comments are very relaxed and point out humorous things that are so true. SugarBank's blog reminded me of one of those emails you get that are titled "You know you came from Buffalo if….”
SugarBank also taught me a few things. I knew that porn was a major role in the development of the Internet, however I did not know that PayPal was created around porn, or that credit card companies count on porn fraud to be able up their security. His points on the first amendment pointed out that every time porn is in trouble the 1st amendment is used against them, porn usually wins. I agree that this is a good thing because it means that our first amendment is strong and our rights can’t be easily taken away from us in any case.
He also attributed some of our great loved HBO shows to porn. "Taxicab Confessions, Kim Catrall’s Sexual Intelligence, Pimps Up Ho’s Down, Family Business – it’s all softcore porn and it pays for the Sopranos. You’re welcome." Porn has made it easier to involve sex in regular TV. Having sex on regular shows makes them more realistic, and fun, but if porn was not so normal, watching people start to strip on NBC would be never heard have.
Porn has given us thing that most people would not accredit to the industry. Some reasons may be a far-fetched justification (like the Sopranos thing), however in a way it is all true. Yes, the Internet might be around today, but would it be what it is now with out the advancement in porn? Probably not. Pornography is not all good, and although it has aided in some great things, it has also gotten out of hand, and into the wrong hands. But nothing is perfect!
