This survey was prompted by Siva's article on a related topic. He was strong in his opinion that it was wrong on the part of Police to arrest and humiliate bachelors for watching porn. When Pornography is illegal then automatically watching it also is illegal. But should we keep porn under the ban? then what about prostituion? Hence the survey. Response was average compared to our earlier polls where on an average we got 12 votes.
We discussed and debated this topic under two different posts. There are strong views on both sides. Nothing more to add I guess.
It was an interesting topic and very relevant. Also a bit of a blackboard for sounding off oneself and listening to others. Especially if one is a parent; it is inevitable that in which case you'd most likely have to discuss it with your child at some point of time as well.
ReplyDeleteIt is an important topic especially given the kind of ready exposure in the form of web, available for our kids. The more we consider it a taboo to discuss with our children the more danger it presents.
ReplyDeleteI doubt whether parents will be able to keep their children away from porn . However if one can demolish the illusions about pron in a teen mind then that I think is half the job done. If a sense of responsibility and self discipline join hands then am sure teens can be largely safeguarded from the ill-effects of porn.
