Me neither. I consider myself to be one of the good men so I've nowt to be ashamed about. The bar has been lowered of late but that was nothing to do with me.

Maybe the question should be 'Are you ashamed to be from the UK and of a certain generation?'.

Maybe so......

the celeb thing is bespoiling childhood memories. I always thought Saville was a bit of a tosser but I never had him down as a predatory pedophile.

It's a Knockout has been sullied too, Winner Takes All on a Friday night with Tarbie was good stuff - and Rolf Harris? OK - charges to be made and all that but for fucks sake.

I wonder about the wisdom of Google flushing its links. As right as it is to hamper access, a meaningful number of paedos have pinged the radar through their card payments.

It's only a worthwhile trap if those caught are monitored closely, but would pornless paedos frequent more parks? Which is the greater accelerator?

Interesting to read that Guardian article.  I know it's not nearly as scientific, but that sex ed programme on Channel 4 interviewed a bunch of kids who universally, without exception, had a totally warped idea of what sex is meant to be like, based on watching lots of porn on the web.  They might have managed to find the only kids affected by it, of course...

Controversial ideas incoming.  I'd like to know about research into the effects of masturbating on increasing or decreasing the urge to commit the act portrayed in the pornography consumed while masturbating.  In other words, if a man is a paedophile, or has rape fantasies, is masturbating while viewing such material likely to satisfy his urges, or more likely to provoke him to take it further.  I realise everyone would be different, but the general trends.  The reason being, and this is where the controversial idea comes along, in this day of photoshop and photorealistic graphics, would it not be an idea to legally make available pornography which is artificially generated but portrays what the viewer wants.  Would allowing paedophiles to view pornographic material of fictitious, apparently underage children prevent real children from being photographed and abused, and how would society feel about it?

Not that this means everything but I seem to recall teen pregnancy stats being on a downslope for a while. Could just mean sex terror though.

When was music best? When was the best football/tennis/rugby played? When were the best films made?  When was porn best / most innocent / least depraved? If your answer is "when I was a teenager" then you're like pretty much every adult that constantly harks back to when things were better, that just so happened to coincide with their youth.

Quite.....but then when the people you liked back then are subsequently revealed as some sort of sick lunatic it is quite distressing.

Moral relativist as I often am, it's probably still socially useful to have a couple of 'objective' Evils floating around and diddling youngsters seems worth ruling against. Abuse of power etc.

Ashamed to be a man? Never, being able to intelligently have sexual relations with somone without exploiting them is your choice, and down to your wisdom, if you get it wrong then ufortunately you have to pay the price, as do the folk you used

Not necessarily the case.

Some people suffer from severe mental illness which makes them unable to control such behaviours as paedophilic abuse for example.

Some goofballs practice religions which encourage paedophilia. Is that a mental illness?

Is it not the case that if you are baptised into Christianity and renounce your god, that by the Christian bible's principles you are actually a Luciferian/Satanist?

Pretty much 666

A few of those aren't very nice. But a few of them are rather pathetic complaints too.

Not nice or pathetic?

The site from the people wot made the sexism video I posted in the misogyny thread. We're terrible!  I disown me.

Some of that is disgusting, but ashamed to be a man? Never. To be a man is to be an example against that sort of rubbish. They're just disgusting human beings, i dont think your gender should be a factor in that
