But surely mens health magazines should go top shelf too? They show a mans chest, like Zoo etc shows a females.

And what about female health magazines. There's always adverts for breast enlargements, we'd have to top shelf both of these examples.

Outlawing something makes people want it more, saying to someone "you can't look at porn" will make them ask their mates etc, and they'll be exposed to more of it.
We can't be too over-protective.

So very True,There are things in magazines like Now,womans way,Vogue etc that are just as,if not more in some cases,not suitable for kids.

but another direction is

It seems in society today it is acceptable for a kid to hear about how a husband Raped killed and then raped the dead body of his wife and then ate the remains,or here how some maniac cut the foetus from a womans stomach and ate it (Taken from Take a Break or one of those mags)............

im not saying kids should be exposed to sexual images,of course not that is] disgusting,but when you put things like page 3 girls on the top shelf and leave "dead body raped and eaten" on the bottom shelves,there is somthing wrong.

Girls flaunting their "bits" would be unsuitable IF there wasn't a market for it. And obviously there is, since the porn industry makes more than $10 billion each year.
Denying someone access to something that is legal introduces you to a nanny state.

I accept you may not like it, and thats fine. But why can't you accept that people DO like it?

er..of course i know that some people do like it, but i dont have to and i wouldnt want to be associated with anyone who did

No-one has said you have to like porn.
I just think it's judgmental of someone to claim that liking porn is a bad characteristic to have - and that you wouldn't be friends with them. I'd say there were better things to judge someones character on than if they do or don't look/watch porn.

Theres nothing wrong with doing/watching porn, the problem is how its laid out these days. There is a legal age on porn for a reason, and to have it on the bottom shelves in some shops is just wrong.

Yes, I agree. Having Hardcore XXX on the bottom self is obviously wrong
It's just some people are replying to this thread saying "Porn is sick, so is people who watch it" - It just seems very judgemental to me. And closed-minded.

People can choose to watch/like it as they please though. If someone doesnt like porn, its up to them. If you were a pornstar and someone said something like Its a sick way to earn money then it can be seen as judgemental.

I have already said that people can choose to watch porn if they want, and if they don't want - thats fine. There's obviously people that don't like porn, but thats up to them.
But the same should be for people who do like porn - it's up to them. Haha

[MarkWaldorf]

Glad thats sorted.

[Lauren]

Haha, we've agreed with something else!

We're getting good.

I'm sorry Jem but you've just proved yourself to be a really narrowminded person by saying you wouldn't like to be associated with anybody who likes porn and to be honest, liking porn doesn't make you a bad person but judging someone on whether or not they want to watch it or even do it IMO does make you a bad person. It makes you a very narrowminded and judgemental person and those charataristics in a person aren't the ones in a person i'd like to 'associate with'.

Thats what I was saying, but Ant said it in better words
