Uh - I don't think it was well argued.

I'm coming from the perspective that I enjoy showing my body (as has been seen here at TFP, btw) and I enjoy looking at porn (also evidenced here).

I also have the background of having previously worked for the local organization which works to erradicate porn.

Porn can never be stopped. I don't think it is possible. We carry our bodies with us everywhere with only thin pieces of woven thread between our bodies and other's eyesite. Nudity is natural to us. If you follow the Bible you'll see that being nude is how we were created originally. Why wouldn't we want to return to that state.

As for the brain chemicals. EVERYTHING, every livin thing we do has an effect on our brain chemicals. If we pet our cat, listen to a joke, laugh, see something painful or disturbing, see something pleasant and enjoyable. It all causes our bodies to respond in different ways. Adrenaline is always accompanied by other chemicals to balance it out. Sometimes in my case I don't get the adrenaline and end up with extremely low blood pressure and I can't ignore that my body has responded to a thought, phone call, or letter by releasing chemicals. Sometimes we don't notice the changes. But our bodies push us to pursue those actions which repeatedly release the chemicals that we crave.

Personally I feel that it doesn't matter what kind of action it is so long as it's lawful and unharmful to ourselves or others. If we are respecting others it doesn't matter if religion is the pursuit that we crave because we won't push it on others and we will do what we can to follow our religion. If we respect others we can view porn and not treat women or men in a negative manner. We are simply satisfying our bodies needs for the chemicals that keep us going. I'm not advocating drugs or alcohol either. Our bodies are so intricate that the more in tune we become with it the more we can sense the wash of chemicals that are constantly flowing through our brains.

For goodness sake - If flooding our brains with our natural bodies chemicals because of actiosn we take is wrong in the light of certain peoples eyes then we certainly should not go on thrill rides, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, engage sex with anyone even our marriage partner, or laugh at jokes. It's not a good arguement against porn. Get a better reason for not viewing it and I'll consider it.
