Are you at all concerned about the people living in third world countries, in abject poverty, that have no pornography?

Many of us have stacks of old skin mags collecting dust in attics, in workshops, in the backs of our closets...

People are just so unsympathetic when it comes to really doing something about the effects of poverty in the third world.

Well the men getting all horny from porno mags isn't really going to help them deal with their poverty issue.However, I know that when I'm watching porno I dont think of how broke my ass is,so Zang, you might just be on to something there! * laughing out loud *

I think we have enough people right here in the US that could benefit from the porn magazines. Charity starts at home.

It worries me daily... but I go over there twice a year and do all I can for peoples in developing and poverty stricken lands.. I do my Demi Moore Strip tease number while using a pole a kind African Farmer made for me, I also do a freak-nasty photo shoot in the jungle and later post the photographs in all the villages. I actually am in the running for a humanitarian award.. It just feels so great inside to be recognised for doing something good.

Sorry, I shouldnt be joking about this should I..

I actually am very concerned about people living in third world countries whose basic daily needs go regularly unmet. I am actually so concerned that I do not find this survey at all humorous.

My impression is that the countries where the poorest people live often have super strict laws about such things. So, sending them porn may get them shot or their genitals mutilated.

Does nobody else find this offensive?

I'm sure that the unfortunate millions who live in abject poverty have much more important things to worry about than bloody pornography.

I have friends in so-called third world countries who are concerned about the people who think it is a sign of richness to have so much pornography.

This is just short termism. It's easy to simply distribute unwanted pornographic material to the third world, but what does that really solve?

What good is a stack of wank mags if you can only tug one off at night? They don't have a torch, let alone mood lighting.

There's also a question of choice. Isn't it slightly racist to expect those living in abject poverty to become aroused by Western pornography, most of which will depict blond, white women?

Charities and NPOs need to look at improving the local infrastructure of these people. Just a small donation to Oxfam or Christian Aid from everyone who participates in this survey could make a real difference. It could provide the capital to establish an internet cafe with private booths where even the poorest villagers can access the widest array of pornography available.

It's always nice to see a well-reasoned response! So many people just look at short term solutions.

Wait, don't they go around walking around naked in those countries. A lot of them cant even afford clothing. So I would imagine they wouldn't need it. I really doubt they have a shortage of superthin naked women walking around.

Allthough I am a bit concerned about those Islamic countries. They're not allowed to even jack off. No wonder they're pissed. If we all donate our used porn, maybe they won't want to kill all of us anymore. So yes, I am concerend about them.

Haven't heard them called skin mags for quite sometimes and I tend to think of porno more in terms of a video or DVD but I can see that this upsets you so 'do what you can' to spread your porno around...but be sure to send cigars and whiskey, as well...because you cannot have one without the other.

Who would be watching them masturbate?

I don't know. I doubt its enforced. All I know is that Islam prohibits it (very strongly) and I think the fear of getting caught really discourages it.

That God for locked bathrooms! Medically, men have to masturbate if they hadn't had an orgasm for a long time. I am being serious. Your system gets all clogged up...seminal fluid backs up in the vas deferens, causing the prostate gland to malfunction. Your viable sperm count drops. Women do not have the same problem.

Then, they have to inject the erection to draw out the blood/ fluid. I'm sure men do not want to hear this. We should encourage them to masturbate all they want (they do anyway  * wink * )
