Doesn't sound bad at all. All my college got was the school schlocky "shock humor" magazine having one of their not-so-attractive staff writers get a blowjob on closed-circuit campus cable TV and sparking a retarded free speech debate with Associated Student Body that's been going on for over a year. Dude got on real news shows, even.

(Yay, team. What a great bunch of guys. whatever )

(Plus a friend of mine since high school also, tragically, writes for the magazine.)

Hehehehe. I was the "centerfold" in the first issue .... along with twelve or so oher people. It was a lot of fun to shoot for, but I'm not even certain they've released a fourth issue of the magazine.

I didn't know any other SG members were part of it, though!

I have read that several US states are atttempting to ban sex toys, now people are complaining about students producing sex mags.

Is there nothing more important in the world to worry about than sexy fun? Any here of global warming, 3rd world poeverty, etc?

kudos to whitepuma, I was going to mention the study carried out by the Aust gov: porn is good for people (but, maybe, like most things not too much!).

If anyone ever says, I don't want my mom to read this, then they shouldn't be involved.

Bah, there's a fetish for everything. Pretty has nothing to do with it.

I think porn can be hazardous. Like TV -- the masses worked into apathy can forgive more and more each day. It can warp our perceptions of satisfaction.



Spoiler: This is joke (and likely humor) free

The problem with perceptions of satisfaction is that they are just that, perceptions. Sure, porn makes you think that the women that you're watching are a sexual ideal. So did the pinups from the 40s, flappers from the 20s, JC Penney catalogs from the 1900s thru the 1980s, etc, etc, etc. "Sexual repression leads to sexual perversion." I can cite examples beyond belief to this, but I'll ask you to think into your past for proof to this. (Ask me and I *will* cite examples, you can take that as a threat if you choose, though it wasn't intended to be.) Porn does change how you see things, but so does the bible (sex slaves are legal according to biblical law), the koran (72 virgins anyone), the phone book (read the yellow pages some time), the internet (SG, etc), your friends (both in opinion and in the people you're likely to have sex with), etc, etc, etc.

Does that make porn to be a bad thing? Dunno. I'm guessing that it's no worse than religeon or your friends.



Oh I didn't say porn itself was bad. Overall I was suggesting that the cultural influence of really stupid people is quite amazing. Far too many people I've experienced lack the motivation to question their motives or desires and rely heavily on input from society to spell it out for them.

Like everything you mentioned, it's not porn that affects us -- it's how we perceive and assimilate it that counts.

Also, shouldn't students have more important things to do (I dunno...learning stuff?) than publishing porn mags? Call me old-fashioned, but, uhm...WTF?



As far as publishing porn goes, it's basically the same as publishing any student run magazine -- of which there are plenty on any campus. Students learn marketing, finances, editorial skills, etc. Of course this is all dependent on the student magazine in question, and how it is produced. Amusingly enough, these magazines seem to display that the students learned a valuable lesson about target audiences.
