Mortified!
response to Max Joseph, Don C, Jon Miller, and Cameron Cohen's post Internet Porn
I cannot believe that I just sent GOOD magazine to my children's teachers as a gift subscription! I had no sooner clicked the purchase button, than come upon this. I am completely mortified that this is what they will primarily see when they visit this site for the first time. I wish I could take it back!! Given the thousands upon thousands of families ripped apart by porn addiction, I do not consider this video posting "good" for society at all, and am embarrassed to have been a contributor of it in my children's teacher's names. Shame on me for thinking a magazine and site dedicated to doing "good" and donating to "good" causes would consider this article in the same league as "good". Next time I will do thourough research before I make a snap judgement. Lesson certainly learned!
Like this article? Tell the world It's Good!

the good word
There is no reason to be mortified - you just made a contribution to a good cause (whether you agree with this particular writer's take on internet pornography or not does not change the relative "good"ness of causes you have invested in!).
I suppose the definition of GOOD is subjective - judging by my own standards for any magazine, this one is definitely good: the topics are dead-on relevant, the writing is genuinely interesting, and the tone is frank.
That being said, I think it's great that you've spread the 'good' word. Perhaps it will spark some dialogue.

Porn is harmful
Wrong - there is a reason to be mortified. Though many men want to believe their is no harm in porn - porn harms women and children.
I am one of those people who has been harmed in my relationship by a man who grew up with porn as his form of sex "education". Miseducation is what it really is. It teaches men to think women enjoy being mistreated and influences young men to view rape as something to masturbate to. It influences their behavior as well. Porn is very much BAD.
Porn is anti-woman propoganda where women are portrayed as "whores, "sluts", and "bitches". There is nothing at all good about this blatant misogyny. When will men finally get it?
