I don't watch porn and it probably explains my ignorance on the subject. I've got kids and an old lady so ... yeah I don't watch porn.

Two things gleaned from this, one is that I wonder what popular porn is and the other being the fact they'd never be allowed to test the effects of pornography on kids.

So, in the end it is just a ridiculous argument.

I must agree with Ron, video games promote killing where as porn promotes sex, which is natural and how our parents actually created us..

Ummm killing is natural as well. It takes your conscience, religion and society to thwart that natural aggression away from you through fears of punishment.

So what about porn games? Would those be better or worse than regular violent videogames?

What studies, exactly?

And why the hell was he even there in the first place? It's 2010, do people really still think he has anything culturally relevant to say?

I can understand where he comes from... The Porn industry, more than any other, has had more criticism thrown at it than all the others.

I think, or should I say; I'd like to think that he is referring to the simple fact that people who play games far more than they should, are not as active, and therefore it is considered unhealthy. Gaming should be part of a daily active lifestyle/routine...

That's the study he is referring to, and it is true.... on some aspects. So, please people, calm the fark down.

That's not even close to true. I'm a marriage and family minor at my university and the effects of pornography in breaking up homes, men and women forging a bond with the pornography than other people (the chemical known as oxytocin is responsible for this), violent pornography (I looked up the term 'donkey punch'...I still feel sick to my stomach when I think of it) and the crime and drug abuse rates that correspond with pornography 'usage' are all far use than the "negative effects" of videogames. It's obvious he is uneducated - I mean, he's a porn star who obviously doesn't understand the industry that he's in.
The family and positive parental examples are crucial in entertainment selection, as well as drug and alcohol abuse patterns in later life. Pornography portrays more realistic violence (in some cases absolutely real) and harsh language than videogames do. While sex and sexuality are healthy to the human psyche and experience, violence against each other and the perversion of sex is damaging and has harmful effects outside of just one's personal life. These negative forces affect society at large.

I meant "are all far worse," not "far use." I guess I was thinking about 'fair use' or something. lol.

I have yet to find a study that conclusively links video games with violent behavior. Some people have social problems. Video games can only help coax them out at best. In other words, the condition is pre-existing, and has been around long since before video games.

Aaah, the much heralded "study" has shown "something." I do wish that there was someone there to ask, "Oh, Ron, which study was that?"

Sorry if this has already been said but did anyone think he might be trying to imply that BOTH arguments are ridiculous? I severely doubt he'd be legitimately blaming video games at CES of all places. I think he was trying to say that if you're going to say porn is bad, you might as well also say that video games are even worse, when really neither are evil like people make them out to be.

What an idiot. Not only do studies show that violent video games do not produce blood thirsty menaces to society, studies DO show that being exposed to porn at a young age contributes to violent and sociopathic behavior later on in life.

Dude's just looking to demonize something else for once, since porn is always being criticized.

It depends which parts of the spectrums you are comparing. I'd imagine skinimax softcore porn is probably less harmful to a kid than say: grand theft auto. But all in all, obviously this well endowed man is out to lunch. Anyway I'd love to see these psychology journals Ron is reading.

Videogames probably are worse. People play videogames for hours upon hours -- how much time do you waste comparatively whacking off?

I totally agree with Mr. Jeremy. Pornography is harmless to children. Video games are only slightly more harmful.

Ok, lets assume the worst of both of these mediums for arguments sake. If we have kids who emulate what they see in porn what is the worst that can happen, maybe teen pregnancy increases, maybe they have sex at 15 instead of 17. Teen pregnancy is bad, I can see the concern.

Lets say kids emulate what they see in video games and go on a shooting spree killing their classmates in the process. Dead kids or teen pregnancy?

This short analysis ofcourse assumes that American kids are the dumbest animals on the planet which they are n...................hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Ron Jeremy says that studies have shown that violent video games are worse for kids than porn. So let me get this straight... he thinks there have been studies on children watching porn????

I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure it would be HIGHLY illegal to show porn to childeren -- scientific study or not!!
