[Added by mods- Content Warning: Sensitive Topic] What do you think about pornography from Autistic perspective?

Not meaning to cause division, but really very genuinely interest in what you think about the subject, particularly as many here we no doubt struggle with real world intimacy and romantic relationships?

1. Perhaps OK one in a while? Much like a cigarette, cigar or watching Fast and Furious movies, its acted, and a bit of escapism. 

2. Generally fine, if its not interfering with real life friendships, dating, work and daily life?

3. Generally no, as the pornography industry is deeply harmful to women and portray a realistic nor healthy depiction of intimacy?  

4. Its the closet I'll ever get to real world intimacy, so I can't get enough

  • Pornography is derived from two Ancient Greek words, porne and graphein, meaning 'common prostitute' (Geisha-like prostitutes were called hetaira) and 'depict'. It is accurate, as pornography is a form of prostitution, sex for money. It is probably better paid and less dangerous for the practitioners than other forms of prostitution, but probably produces similar levels of psychological harm.

    Masturbation in men has been linked to lower rates of prostate cancer and other prostate problems, so perhaps pornography has at least one beneficial effect.
