    Read into that as you will, but !!!!!! never influenced me much.

    Shock & horror...you mean that you can watch !!!!!! sometimes, when you feel like it, but like the majority of the !!!!!!-watching population you don't feel the need to copy every sexual act you see portrayed and you understand that ultimately nothing much beats a good sexual relationship with a partner that means something to you?

    Shame that some people don't realise this and extend the trust to teenage boys and girls, who they believe are just going to turn into depraved deviants.

    Please can we ban Eastenders, it's currently teaching me that all human relationships should be overly dramatic and totally dysfunctional. :(

    Ahh, now if you want to talk about things I don't let my kids watch (or I don't want to watch) lets discuss Eastenders. Vile TV.

    Interestingly ( lol well to me anyway) my son when he was little got very upset with Eastenders if it was on, all that dramatic shouting and screaming so different from our relatively quiet & happy home that I stopped watching it for years :)

    add: I think it taught him that when something wasn't to his taste it could just be switched off!

    I so hope that's the case. The dodgy !!!!!! available in the 70's was the stuff of nightmares :eek:

    interesting post as we just watched 'My penis and everyone elses' in which it said !!!!!! was the only place most men see other men's penises and it is making them feel inadequate. Aparently 45% of men in their survey felt inadequate after seing men in !!!!!! films. I was suprised that men felt inadequate after watching !!!!!! as well as some women.

    Seriously a lot of these programmes just come out with any old rubbish to make interesting tv...I've had many a frank discussion with men regarding sex and I've never heard anyone say that. I've heard people say that male !!!!!! stars shave because it gives the illusion of being bigger though.

    " I was suprised that men felt inadequate after watching !!!!!! as well as some women."

    Why? If someone is going to feel inadequate ( whether that's watching !!!!!!, changing in an 'open' changing room, or as pictured above) why would gender make a difference?

    If I were flat chested I would be just as likely to feel inadequate sitting next to Katie Price on a bus ( ok that's unlikely lol) as watching a !!!!!! film surely?

    Now, in fairness, rule #1 of using the urinal is eyes forward and no looking at anyone else's junk. :D

    Truth is !!!!!! actors aren't picked for their acting ability and most people are aware of this.

    See now, if I feel inadequate in any area of life I see what I can do to improve my knowledge, technique or whatever, my self-esteem, was as a child, mostly the responsibility of the adults around me and, as an adult, the responsibility of me and nobody else, and I certainly don't expect the Government to ban anything just because I find it threatening to my self-esteem. ;)

    Any grown adult that seriously feels threatened by watching a !!!!!! movie, a) shouldn't be watching them and b) if they want to they should learn to distinguish reality from fantasy. I can understand the arguments about children and teenagers lacking self-esteem, but as has been said a million times already our whole media culture, peer pressure, lifestyle, need, greed, want culture does a fine job of that already!!!
