Adult vs. non-adult

[pendelton]

I am curious on if you think getting in to the adult industry is good or bad, and why you think that. Please, no lengthy sermons on pro or con, I know many do not like the idea on religious, or moral, grounds, and some just do not care.

[Thanoz]

Personally, it's ok with me.
It's a bussiness as lots of others and don't think religion etc should be involved when it's about bussiness which means something you're making for a living...
Ah, who knows i may give it a try one day myself too :D :D
Too bad it's still banned by the Constitue in my country :@ Hope they change it soon ;P

[devilbatista]

As the world is changing there is Adult Industry on going and it's a part of industry ( business) and some don't like it and some do like it.

[css25]

More and more people changing their business into adult industry. I do not care as long as they doing their business in proper way.

Especially for muslims like myself, we call these kinds of business as "Haram" that if you do it, you're commiting a sin. This is the same for Catholics and Christians. I actually voted "Bad, it is immoral" when I should have voted "Bad, it is Evil".

[css25]

Well, Adult industry is just for non-religious thought kinda a people type. If you have a thought in the religious thought way, why should getting involved with it? Yes, it is indeed immoral, but not most people have the same thought - as long as they can make living for it, they don't care.

[pendelton]

How about the different facets of the adult industry? Not everything has to do with sex and pornography.

Using Fergal's forum as an example, and, while I know many of you are far younger than myself, this can be considered part of the adult industry. Why?

We are discussing this subject in a civil manner. Take Nazreen for example, choosing to express the opinion that it is evil, while not doing a childish rant that would be useless.

I also believe that being an adult is a state of mind, not an age, as I have dealt with some 15 year olds that have learned a lot about business and are starting off doing things online. I have also know 60 year olds that think that the internet is evil, or that the space aliens will come to their homes if they go online.

((Off Topic: Nazreen, I liked the way you separated Catholics and Christians.))

[Nazreen]

((Off Topic: Nazreen, I liked the way you separated Catholics and Christians.))

Actually, the Catholics say that they're Christians too but some Christians (I won't name names or groups to avoid flaming) will never accept that. Do you know why? It's because they say that only Christians will enter heaven.

In my opinion, all Muslims, Catholics, Christians and even the Sikhs believe in the same God. It's only the beliefs and practices that differ.

Anyway, when "Adult Industry" is usually mentioned, it's usually all about pornography. Try and google it and at least 99 out of 100 search results are porn sites. So, I agree...someone who's into his/her religion will say that it is evil :)

I agree with you, tried it with google, yahoo, msn and geez it is all about pornography. That's make the Adult Industry becoming an evil each days. :)

What do you mean exactly? You open a topic for discussion and you start it, so be prepare to any comment. Childish rant or not, accept it. Don't take it seriously.

I don't care about the adult industry business because I am not interested to know about such industry.

[pendelton]

That's is my point, I'd accept the fact that the person posted, but I would not take it seriously if it had been a childish rant.

[avi007i]

Adult industry is good and its a arena where it is very easy to make sales.
but I just saw a network of adult ads much like adsense , which is paying $0.01 per click which obviously too less.
But you get huge money in adult sites just for free sign ups ( $35 - $100 ) when you are working for them as affiliate .

[pendelton]

Yes, but it all depends on what your values will let you promote. For several people promoting sexually explicit sites is not the way to convert people to their belief system.

Two aspects of adult industry, using a broad meaning of the industry are:

To compete online;
Promoting love and relationship building sites, which is more of an adult activity than not, is possible. From my high school days only one couple remains together today, and they still love each other, so for teens it is a rare item. Far less than 1%.

To compete off line;
Promoting missionary work to go out an convert people to your belief system. This should not be done by people under 18 in a lot of cases. The reason being that it is easier to convert people in a den of thieves than in a house of worship, and sending younger people in to dangerous situations is not a good thing.

It all depends on how wide, or narrow, you want your perspective to be, on the meaning of 'Adult Industry'.

Excuse me, you talking about me, right? You talking about me being childish rant. How old are you anyway? Do you expecting everyone will follow your "civil manner"? Oh please!
I am not acting immature here. I am just about going to support this forum by being a premium member, however when I called me just "childish rant", I change my mind. pendelton, just remember not everyone will do what you want - "civil manner". Please open your eyes and open your mind.
Time for me to stay away from this forum.

A bit fishy IMO. Calling somebody opinion as "childish rant" is bad attitude. Therefore, I give you -rep for this. Try to be a bit more open minded in any of your topic. Anyone will feel disappointed with your word - "childish rant".
Back to the topic: I love adult industry! So what?

[pendelton]

Great example, thanks.

No, I wasn't talking about you, or anyone in particular.

Presenting cases, such as this, is also an important lesson for business in general. How will possible future customers react to you if you go off on a, yes, childish rant if someone says they do not like this or that about you, your product, or your service? Discussing things in a civil manner is not what I want, per se, but what most people want with their business connections.

How is my mind closed, for the fact I find childish rants useless? If it is something other than that please let me know so I can decide if I need to work on it, of if I have not explained myself properly.

[dedivps]

Great example, thanks.
In what way is that? Childish rant? :p
Anyway, I do not mind what people think about my opinion. I do believe we have our own opinion on each matter / subject discussion. Sometimes, language can kill somebody :p

Btw, I just hate one thing about adult industry nowadays. They spamming all over the forum where they able to post links with less then 1 post. Even on the web directory! Do they out of technique already to advertise their business in a proper way? Hmmm... :confused:

[pendelton]

Nope, you gave me an opportunity to provide an example.

That is true, your opinion is the one few things people can not take from you. Something you can change all by yourself.

I am also a muslim so that's why I agree with Nazreen. I also voted bad on the poll. It's known as HARAM in arabic. HARAM means that it's strictly forbidden

[pendelton]

I did not know that, interesting, thanks Footzilla.

[upineter]

The top of the most success company in the world wide web is not adult industry. Microsoft, Yahoo, Google are some example of the success story without adult industry. I think humanity moral have influence in the success of the business. So I start my online business without adult industry.

[Footzilla]

Surely I will also start a forum or business that is not related to adult industry.
I agree with Uptiner that there plenty of other ways from which you can earn money. Adult industry is not that profitable.

[Hurbel2k]

Adult industry is not only porn, it's also escort service, brothels, nude camps, sex toys and special clothing.

Religion is a major inhibitor of adult business. As religion becomes more and more unimportant adult industry grows.

Earlier times some people had certain sexual fantasies, but often they thought that they were the only person in the world who had such kind of fantasy. Religion and something called social conditioning hold the people back. Now with the internet, everyone with a certain sexual fantasy can find others who are like-minded. In a result people are more open about what they want and live it. Which I feel is a positive thing. Everyone should live according to their own feelings.

Last year I bought a dress that You cannot find in any normal clothing store as a Christmas present for my girlfriend. She was absolutely happy with that. While I'm not involved in the industry, I'm really happy it exists.

[Nazreen]

...Religion is a major inhibitor of adult business. As religion becomes more and more unimportant adult industry grows.
...Religion and something called social conditioning hold the people back.

For muslims, pornography, prostitution, drinking alcohol and taking drugs are all prohibited and engaging in these businesses are also prohibited. There's a very good reason for this. Islam is a preventive religion and a way of life. It holds people back from getting HIV and other sexual diseases. There are also a lot of crimes and accidents that are a result of alcohol or drugs-related.

In this regard, religion holding the people back should be taken in a positive way.

Why you bother to sent me a PM just like this one? You still pointed your previously post to me. Come on, I am not a teenager nor a child. I know what I am talking about. If you think that I am still a kids, go ahead with your own mind thinking. Don't you bother to send me any PM! I will never join this forum any longer. I logged in because I am still having a problem with Fergal - the owner of this forum, if not what does this forum to me? It's nothing.

Condoms prevent STD, too.
I'll send You a PM later this day.

[Nazreen]

Yes Hurbel2k, condoms prevent STD too but that is not the point I was trying to make. The point I wanted to stress is that Islam, Catholicism or Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and other religions are a way of life. It's like they are a manual to a better life. Let's take for example that you bought the latest GPS device for your car. Without the manual, you won't be able to operate this device. There are also warning and hazards that you need to take note of so this device will function properly and efficiently, and so as not to damage your GPS device.

In this regard, Islam warns us against the hazards of drinking alcohol, extra-marital sex and taking in drugs. In the U.S. alone, there are a lot of crimes that are sex-related and drugs related. There are also a lot of accidents and deaths as a result of drunk-driving.

i think adults industry is immoral and evil i voted it's immoral i wish you allow multiply answers it's also forbidden for muslims as nazreen said
but i think it's forbidden for all muslims ,christian and jews but many ignor that

[Fergal]

...I logged in because I am still having a problem with Fergal - the owner of this forum...
Can you please send me a PM to explain what you mean by this. I honestly don't know what you are referring to.

[avi007i]

Adult industry also means adult dating, certain kinds of food and medicine i.e herbs known for their aphrodisiac properties, fancy clothing, toys, books, and more . There is nothing wrong in helping couples to have more fun, is it ?

[pendelton]

avi007i has it right, there is a wider area for adult industries than just porn, but people focus on that aspect of it.

How many 10 year olds need marriage counseling?
How many 15 year olds want advice on how to spice up their lives with their spouse? (Some, but not too many)
How many 8 year olds could use a place to go to relax with like minded people, online or off?
