Is browsing Ashley Madison better or worse than watching porn?

[JacaRanda]

Oh here we go. This should be good.

I never really thought porn was that bad. Sex is a bodily function. Don't like it? Don't watch porn! Can't say I HAVEN'T watched it (90% of men have watched porn, the remaining 10% were lying), but don't really have a need for it.

Ashley Madison has always amused me. The truth is 80% of marriages deal with infidelity. 40% of women and 60% of men have cheated on someone at some point (I gotta figure out where I got that statistic-it was a good source though), so something like Ashely Madison was bound to pop up.

I would have thought this thread would have blown up by now. However, with those stats you listed I'm guessing some folks are hiding under beds right now. Okay, well maybe sofa's instead of beds.

you realize none of the women on AM are real, right?

Man, guys are out there killing themselves over fake women? WTH.

Yes. All the women were staff members that were paid to string the men along and keep paying. They always happened to be "busy that day" when an actual hookup was to take place.

It is a glorified sex phone hotline...

Interesting. Just how do you know that, exactly?

I've always wondered if members here are also fake,
matter of fact, I think your profile is fake ?!?!

Do you really know what a camera is or are you copy/pasting from wikipedia ?

This is Chatbot 9 to control. We had another one finally figure it out. Schedule for immediate termination. Release the ninja squirrels. I say again, release the ninja squirrels.

Don't know.

Intentionally get caught watching pornographic by your other half, Dee what happens.

Then intentionally get caught browsing the Ashley Madison site by them.

Probably you'll get a definitive idea of which is worse then

Why do either when there are horny singles in your area (thanks banner ads )

I think that anyone that actually looks at the list to see if their spouse is listed has bigger issues, like trust, to deal with in the relationship.

Also, while I don't agree with the site, I do not think it was 'right' to release the information. Those people had an expectation of privacy. Just like everyone that uses their credit card in any store or online. Why is it 'right' to release names but not credit cards?

In addition, there were people from all over the world on the site. In areas where cheating, including both by the heterosexual and LGBT communities, may be punishable by crimes much harsher than a significant other's frying pan. Women/LGBT will likely be disproportionately punished, especially in repressive countries, and blackmail will probably be present. The punishment doesn't fit the 'crime'.

they released the last 4 digits of the credit cards
but who knows .. maybe they sold off the full CC information to others.

Statistically speaking, 90% of what you find on the internet is false. The rest is porn.

I saw some old, grainy, B&W, silent, 8mm porn when I was in boot camp one night when the company commanders showed it to a couple hundred of us in the smoke break room. Then I saw Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones one night with a bunch of other sailors at some theater when we went ashore once. While it was eye-opening, overall I was pretty unimpressed both times, actually.

About 10 years later, after VHS tapes came out, my wife introduced me to porn again and we enjoyed it together fairly often, adding to our own pleasures and teaching us new tricks to play with.

I think that anything a couple shares together is fine, and that goes for porn or Ashley Madison, or any other kind of sexual outlet. I think if someone needs to hide something about themselves from their significant other however, there's a problem that needs to be resolved, not hidden away. If it's watching porn, that should be fairly easy to deal with. If it's infidelity however, or even the attempt at infidelity by signing onto a website where that's the goal, it's SO MUCH worse.

I never even heard of the A.M. thing until it hit the news, and to me it's been nothing but a barrel of laughs. I get the whole expectation of privacy thing, but in the end, I've no sympathy for cheaters, nor those who are trying unsuccessfully to cheat. It's just not right to do that to the person they claim to love and treasure. It's not in any way fair to them. They should have a serious conversation about how they feel with their significant other instead of acting on urges, and they, as a couple, should come to terms with it, one way or the other.

I also can't stand hypocrites, and that's been my favorite part of this - the outing of hypocrites.

It really depends on the individual relationship. Some couples watch or read porn openly. Some couples even go as far as actively "swinging".

The problem is when one individual takes issue with the sexual practices and preferences of the other. But this is true no matter what.
