Oh, you missed it alright LOL

Quote From: newgran03

Although I obviously missed the posts by BlissGirl that got deleted, I have figured out enough from the other posts what happened that I missed out on. 

  

I would like to hear from her in 20 to 25 years or so when she is no longer young and she's had some children and her husband is still lusting after young girls in porn. We all know that no matter how you care for your body that aging and childbearing changes it. She too will age. Maybe she will find herself alone in bed in the middle of the night wondering what went wrong while her husband is pleasuring himself to porn. Or how she will feel if he only comes to her AFTER viewing porn. Then she will remember back to what all of us OLD women have said. She may very well find herself regretting the day they welcomed porn into the relationship. 

  

Having children also changes your very young and open attitudes about things. My husband and I both were just talking about this on Saturday. He gets really bent out of shape when he is in the car with the boys and some commerical for one of the strip clubs in town will come on. He doesn't want the kids hearing it. 

It's really sad, she's probably younger than my sons are, and yet I can take it to the bank they'd never talk like she had in that post to anyone.  Something happened.  Don't know what that might be, but something gave her the thought that she doesn't have to respect anyone, not even herself or her marriage...from the words she had written here.    

   

I do know one thing, you are so right, when you have kids you mind about stuff just changes, it just does.  And it isn't so much what happens to your boby as much as how you see your children growing up in a world like we live in.  Suddenly you realize their little minds with sponge everything up and somethings you won't be able to control....and you feel the desire to protect them.  You also think seriously about the things you do in life and how it can and WILL effect them.  

   

Old, LOL, My b-day was just yesterday, I turned 44 years young!  And I have to tell you other than a few aches in certain places, I wouldn't turn this around if you paid me!  It's the age where, you know, you remember everything you ever did back to 18 and even younger, but you see it so clearly how you were screwed up in your thinking to.   If I could only know what I know now...Whoa! I can't imagine!  The nice thing is, when you are married to a pretty decent guy, getting older with him is really kind of nice...actually wonderful.  And when you can love them body and soul more than you ever did when you were 21....well nothing compares to that.  And it didn't take a drop of porn to keep that "stuff" alive and well.  

   

Oh, yes, I pitty anyone who lives that way and believes it's healthy for a rslp.  What leaped up into my spirit when I read her vulgar post was that this girl's been fed this stuff so much that just about anything is not to far off from reality in her life.  And that's one huge factor in the young marriages today....there is no meaning or sacredness or faithfulness.....what they "see" is what they become.  Luv~

You sound just like us

Quote From: lilacmess

My husband is the same way in that having kids has definitely changed him. We were watching network television the other night and a commercial for one of those "Girls Gone Wild" videos came on, and he said, "How can they play this crap on normal television?" I've given up listening to my favorite radio station with the kids in the car because of the commercials for strip clubs. It's disgusting. As if perverts need commercials to remind them of where the skanks are. I always assumed they could just sniff them out.

We have had to stop listening to the classic rock station that we have been listening to since we were both young teens because the stuff between the music has gotten so raunchy. 

  

There is a strip club here called The Lumber Yard and they had the most raunchy commercials on the radio. The husband telling his wife he's going to the lumber yard and she asks him AGAIN? I haven't seen any wood, and he tells her well you did last night! And then she giggles like a fool. And they have one, "The Lumber Yard where REAL MEN go to get wood". Funny, I think REAL MEN stay home and share that with their wives. It's the immature brianless perverts that go there then go home to their wives. 

  

And those Girls Gone Wild commercials make me want to retch.

I turned 42 in May and I wouldn't go back for anything, except maybe I would like to have a 20 year old body again to keep up with my 2 year old grandbaby,lol. 

  

Now that all of the porn crap is out of our marriage it is so much better. He treats me with the same kindness and respect he did when we were first together. Which just makes me love him and want him even more. We have been married almost 17 years now, second marriage for me, first for him. He adopted my oldest who is 23, 2 years after we got married. And we have two little guys ages 7 and 9. You are right, nothing beats having a decent man and being with him year after year and growing closer and more comfortable that comes with knowing someone so well. 

  

And happy belated birthday!!

That's worse than the ones around here, except that they do this thing in the afternoons where they encourage female listeners to call in and claim that they're naked at home or in the bathtub or masturbating or making out with their female friends. The girls could be any age, honestly. Who's to know whether it's a 24-year-old on the other end of that phone or a 14-year-old claiming that she just took off her panties and now she's touching herself with the living room blinds wide open. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. And there's no rating system for the radio, no way to know what you're about to hear until you hear it.

How Porn Has Affected Our Relationship

Quote From: lilacmess

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. And there's no rating system for the radio, no way to know what you're about to hear until you hear it.
And people say they don't see the problem with porn as long as only adults are watching it and doing so privately. This IS the problem. It's called the filter-down effect. Porn is everywhere now and it's impossible to protect our children from it unless we lock them up in their rooms with no access to media of any form. The worst part is that we've become so desensitized to it now that it's everywhere that we sometimes don't even notice it until it's too late. I know I've certainly been in the living room with the kids working on my computer or whatever and only half paying attention to the television only to look up and see a commercial for a local strip club or an incredibly graphic sex scene that just barely qualifies as non-pornographic on a standard network station, not even cable! I'm politically liberal and not a fan of censorship in any form, but this is one of those issues that really tests me. There is a part of me that would love it if pornographers were censored to the point of barely being able to function within the letter of the law and the entire industry went bankrupt as a result. But I just have to keep reminding myself that censorship in any form can have the same filter-down effect and we certainly don't want that. So we're back to square one. Parenting sure is tough in the age of porn.

Suggestion

Parents, if you want to know what your teenage kids are doing, thinking about, and talking about (short of installing spyware on their computers and reading their chat sessions . . . which I have done by the way and the results were shocking), spend some time in a Punk/Ska/Thrash chat room. You'll be blown away. Trust me. And they try to tell us pornography isn't affecting the children.

Don't mean to bring it up again but....

People will be lovers of themselves.  Lovers of lust. And perverse things.  Sons will pit against fathers, daughters will fight against mothers.  What seemed once wrong will be made right in those that love vain things.  Things that were once deemed immoral will be made to seem good and beautiful.  The young will turn aways from their parents and lust of the things of this world instead of the teachings of their parents.  A generation will see the days of being unable to bare children due to their lusts. (hence, the STD's that cause women and men to become sterile)...I could go on an on.....  

   

All of which is describing the days we live in today.  Thankfully there is an end to all this, but sadly an entire generation is being lost to this very thing.  Did you realize that 8000 teenagers per day in the U.S. are diagnosed with an STD, 10,000 per day become pregnant, and over a thousand attempt suicide!!!  There is an entire huge population that are already addicted to pornography, as young as 9 years OLD!!!!  Girls are being told and taught that certain sex acts will keep them protected from pregnancy and keep them virgins!!!!  Young teenage girls are protected from ever letting their parents know that she is sexually active and in need of an abortion!!!!  But you can't give her an asprin if she's at school without written permission?????   Do you realize that some young teenage girls as young as 15 years old have had over 25 sexual encounters with DIFFERENT men or boys????  

   

We are doing an awesome job in this country....but lets protect the rights of the ones who produce porn, market it, and sell it IN every home on the internet!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Stats on this stuff.....

My H and I are doing a youth conference this Friday night...and thru my recent research of things for our youth....I just thought some of you might be interested in this website to do your own study. 

  

http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/hivaids/l/blstdhivaids2.htm 

  

If you'd like further info about porn/STD's and the connection...and there's a HUGE one.  Then just type in Statistics on teenagers and STD's/Porn and you'll be amazed at what you find.   

  

This has touched my life so much thru knowing of one very special little girl who is lost in this world of sex and porn.  Today she can no longer have children, one of the two that she has was born with his intestines on the outside of his little body, spent months in the hospital after numerous surgeries...and yes she did drugs every single time she was "preforming" unprotected sex acts. 

  

Luv~

not here much anymore either

Quote From: bobbinmatt

I can't remember it exactly, i'll look around and see if i can find it...i deleted it by accident and it's my favorite quote:(    

     Anyways, it went something like this??? 

  

      When you stand at a cliff at the edge of everything you've known about to step into darkness you will find one of two things that you will find a floor solid beneath your feet or life will teach you to fly. 

  

I know that's not exactly it and not as well put as the original but I think that is the quote you were talking about. Like I said if I find it (and I hope I do!!!) I'll post it to you. I'm not here very often at all anymore, a little too negative for me these days. Do you still have my e-mail address (if you do please don't post it here....either of them) if you do go ahead and e-mail me and when (if) I find it i could e-mail it to you....I don't have your e-mail anymore (sorry).  

  

Hope things are going well for you! How are those babies doing, groing crazy fast I bet!! 

  

  

Take care, 

Bobbinmatt 

But glad to say HI to you - I hope you are doing well!!  That is the quote I was thinking of!  I had it somewhere too and now I can't find it - darn!  Oh well - I am not sure if I still have your email address, i'll look.   

  

Thanks so much - gotta run!
