Can a Subject Be Worst Than PORN
Actually I think the subject matter of my avatar and the 1st shot in my port are "worse" than porn. What do you think? Dec 10 06 11:42 am Link I dunno ,,but I do know that you have some beautiful images in your port . Dec 10 06 11:44 am Link Gaylord Hill wrote: Uh, whatcha smokin' there? Dec 10 06 11:45 am Link Porn leads to smoking. Dec 10 06 11:45 am Link um I suppose it depends how you look at it ,I don't think porn is bad in the first place .... although there is bad porn , and I dont think an adult chosing to smoke is bad either. I suppose that makes me neutral.... I would have to say that cigarette companies exploit and shed harm with no consciousness more than adult entertainment companies , but they are much larger corporations with much more money...so of course they would. Dec 10 06 11:48 am Link I think having plastic boobs are worse than PORN. bs Dec 10 06 11:50 am Link Posing for porn and smoking can both be dangerous. The statistical probability of harm from smoking is greater, I'd say. You can protect your self from harm while making porn. The only protection against smoking is to not do it. Dec 10 06 11:51 am Link i think that you think that you're much more badass than you really are. i mean, she's not like injecting with a dead prostitute in the corner. Dec 10 06 11:51 am Link CareLyn Anita wrote: Yeah, the "worst" needs to be in quotes. Porn is a "badboy" concept and a punching bag for comment. Porn in and of itself has no inherent bad qualities, but only the way its users respond to it. Dec 10 06 11:54 am Link Tiff Marie wrote: Sorry--misplaced anger! This photo not about me. Read the question! Dec 10 06 11:55 am Link It all seems sort of silly to me. People think many things are porn like. It depends more on one's personal fetish. Perhaps the founder of this thread views smoke as being so sexy that it amps up their personal sexaul/porn experience. The worse than porn thing...I don't think so. It's a good headline to entice people to write about it though. Can pictures of feet fall into the same category? Check it out at https://www.modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=73687 Its the "Foot Photos" forum under General Mayhem. Lots of good images. To the smoke fetish photographers I say, "Viva the smoke." Crank it up and lets see some more.

People bad mouth porn as having no pupose and is even a sick process with no socially redeeming purpose and leads to all kinds of abherrEnt behavior. I was just contrasting those parameters to the process of smoking. NO I DON'T SMOKE! Dec 10 06 12:04 pm Link CareLyn Anita wrote: THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTERESTING COMMENTS.

Dec 10 06 11:39 pm Link Gaylord Hill wrote: So why'd you shoot them? Dec 10 06 11:41 pm Link I've never understood the attraction of smoke in a photo, but it sometimes creates an interesting shot. Having said that I have zero interest in promoting smoking in any way and agree with the OP that smoking is far worse than porn. Jack Dec 10 06 11:42 pm Link it's all the same. bleh.

Dec 10 06 11:52 pm Link James Graham wrote: Legitimate Conscientious Objector here--when people knew what that meant!! Dec 10 06 11:54 pm Link Just my opinion, but actually I don't think the smoking photo really glamorizes smoking at all. The smoke obscures the model as the camera takes an unflattering angle to reveal her in "raw pleasure. It leaves me wanting to see the attractive model without the cigarette and the smoke. I'm curious as to what this photo was taken for...portfolio, commercial, children's magazine ; ) ? I really think it is not so much the subject matter but how/why/where it revealed that determines it's judgement, and then again it is half up to the viewer anyhow, as not only your photo but your query has brought up here. Same with porn vs nudity vs erotic...whew, I feel a headache coming on... Glitz Dec 10 06 11:57 pm Link While I dont think too highly of porn, smoking kills.

And worse than buying trashy mystery novels in airports. Dec 11 06 12:12 am Link If smoking's the worst thing that somebody's done, they have relatively little to worry about. Rhetorical question: since when did our society begin to place health choices at the top of the morality scale? (This post does not address question of porn the least little bit.)

So much suffering!! Dec 11 06 01:35 am Link interesting concept its our inherent voyueristic tendancies, we all stop to see a car crash, but no one would want to be a victim of one, nor want to see any one they know in it same is true for either porn or smoking an individual may like to watch, or be fascinated by watching women in porn, fro really hardcore to softcore, but would not want to do it themselves, or see someone they knew Dec 11 06 11:23 am Link my new years resolution is to NOT ask models to smoke for photos.

She actually quickly realized what a sickening addiction she once had as she begn to cough several times with the smoke JUST in her mouth. Dec 13 06 02:55 am Link |
