My iPhone Porn Wish: What Everyone Wants But is Too Chicken to Say

Posted September 12, 2007 1:00 PM by Jason Swifter
Categories: Opinions 

imageOk. I’m just going to say it because no one else seems to have the cajones to. The iPhone has some seriously huge porn implications. Not only do we have a device that has a decent sized color screen, access to the internet, and a built-in speaker: the user navigates through screens by touch. Touch, the sense that has the biggest associated with porn.

So here’s the deal everyone. I’m going to just say it so no one else has to. I have an idea of the best interactive porn application for the iphone. I just hope someone makes it.

Here it goes.

I wish that there was an application that allowed you to undress people by dragging your fingers across the screen and literally dragging it off. Then I wish that by using my finger on a picture of a preferably nude model, I can rub, touch, stroke, etc. FInally, I wish that through the speaker, i can get positive audio feedback of my actions.

There I said it. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want that.

  13. This post is immature, offensive, and in bad taste. Time to take iPhone Matters off my bookmarks.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on September 13, 2007 5:56 PM

  14. Djeezes R.Mansfield, people like you make the world a bad place to live. Trow away your pc and get a life in the bushes, where you can’t be offended (only perhaps by monkeys who are ****** their brains out in the trees in front of your ‘immature’ eyes).

    Nice post Jason…keep up the good work.

    To R. Mansfield -> don’t forget to go to the church on sunday, and put your i-phone off when entering…

    Posted by Dan Ilian on September 18, 2007 12:21 PM

  15. I’ll say it again, the post was immature (and not what I would expect from an iPhone news site wanting to be taken seriously), and Dan, your response was immature.

    For what it’s worth, I will go to church Sunday, and I’d invite you to go with me. We can both turn our iPhones off as we go in.

    The reality of pornography though is that it objectifies people by focusing on desires without the obligation of relationships. To objectify another individual is to consider that person as less than human and to see that person without empathy. Frankly, I don’t want to live like that, and I would suggest it is unhealthy (emotionally, spiritually, psychologically) for any party directly affected.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on September 18, 2007 12:34 PM

  16. That’s just what i mean. If, we people, wouldn’t always been looking at others, what they are doing, how they act,... it would be a better place to live. Religion is the worst thing mankind has invented.
    Believe in yourself, in your family, friends. Do good to eachother, but leave others the way they are. Some people (and countries, governments) have the bad attidude to always have the need to be a ‘bush’body (= another word for meddler) to others.
    That’s what i want to say, live your life, porn is maybe for your religion a bad thing, focusing on desires, ... but for others it’s a way of being the way they want to be.
    And, sorry, but I think that Jason was joking a little about this. And why can’t we laugh a little, even if it’s about sex, porn, ...

    Posted by Dan Ilian on September 19, 2007 2:57 AM

  17. Dan, I find your philosophy of life (“do good to each other, but leave others the way they are”) to be a bit flawed and not practical for society to function.

    Let me say up front that YOU are the one who brought up religion, not me. And I can make a strong case against pornography without ever having to resort to religious assertions (although if you were a religious person, I could appeal to you on those grounds as well).

    I am opposed to pornography for a number of reasons.

    As I have already stated, pornography objectifies another human being, and thus devalues that person. Every time you look at a nude model, consider the fact that this is a person who is someone’s daughter, or perhaps sister, mother or even wife. Yes, you can say that this person is posing on her own free will (I’m going to primarily speak in terms of the feminine, but obviously this applies to male models as well). However, in many cases, the models have severe self-esteem and self-image issues and posing actually makes the problem worse rather than helps it. And that’s not even including the international sex trade in which women are coerced to pose and perform sexual acts against their will.

    But here’s the major emotional and psychological problem: anyone who engages in viewing pornography attempts to cross the boundaries of intimacy without the responsibilities of relationship.

    I have personally counseled individuals addicted to pornography and have witnessed marriages break up over the issue. I don’t mean they broke up because a wife got angry when she found out (although that often happens and the anger is compounded by feelings of hurt, betrayal, and unfaithfulness). The problem is that the pornography is all fantasy—harmless fantasy, some might say. However, experience says that is not true. Pornography is highly addicting for males because we tend in general to be visually oriented. Again pornography is crossing the lines of intimacy without the responsibility of actual relationships. Thus men, who are often in committed marriage relationships, often have trouble relating to their own wives because the wife they come home to cannot live up to the fantasy that is now in the husband’s mind.

    So, is it okay for SINGLE men to engage in viewing pornography? Not really because of the aforementioned objectification that takes place, but especially not if that single man hopes to one day be a part of a committed relationship. Those visual images are extremely difficult to remove from our visually-oriented brains and this can come back to haunt marriages years down the road. Trust me I’ve seen it.

    As I said, Dan, I have a problem with your philosophy of “do good to others, but leave others the way they are.” This is often referred to in terms of “live and let live.” The problem with leaving others the way they are is that often others are found to be in absolutely miserable states, and in good conscience, I cannot leave them where they are. Nor do I wish to stand by and let selfish impulses (pornography is and of itself a selfish impulse—again, no commitment of relationship) continue to cause an individual to go headlong into a downward spiral.

    I have a philosophy of “Treat others as you want to be treated.” Yes, there are some connections here to religion. You will find similar statements in Christianity (the so-called “golden rule”), Judaism, and even Buddhism. I really believe that if everyone treated others as they wished to be treated, we would have no more wars or crime or poverty in our world. These religions that you reject actually foster this kind of attitude, but sadly its adherents do not always practice it well enough—just being honest.

    Regardless, this philosophy of treating others as I want to be treated relates to pornography. I want to be treated with all the dignity and value of a whole human being and participant of society. I don’t want to be seen or treated as an object and therefore, I shouldn’t treat others as objects, something that is inherent to pornography.

    Where does objectifying humans lead? Well, it leads to war, crime, and poverty. When we begin valuing others less, we can justify what we do to them. Does your viewing of pornography mean that you are personally going to start a war, commit a crime, or neglect the poor? Probably not. But that’s what happens to those who lack empathy for their fellow human beings.

    Let me give you an extreme example. Studies have shown that most rapists and nearly ALL serial killers were addicted to pornography. And most of them were exposed to it early in life. If you ever have a chance to read/hear/view the exit interviews with Ted Bundy, listen carefully to what he says about pornography and the role it played in his downward spiral. Now, am I saying that you or anyone who views pornography is going to become a rapist or serial killer? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Such an assertion would be ludicrous. It’s not a cause and effect, but there IS a correlation.

    What do these twisted individuals have in common? The crimes they have committed are rooted in the fact that they justified their actions by devaluing the lives of others and viewing their victims as objects. Nearly all say that they were addicted to pornography and exposed to it an early age.

    I submit to you that pornography is unhealthy at any level. Does that mean that anyone viewing pornography will commit a capital crime? No. But it does lead to devaluing of others and it degrades our society. Most of us won’t ever commit the more heinous crimes because we seem to have an inherent sense of empathy for others at least at some level. But for those who don’t have emPATHy (whom we label socioPATHS), pornography is often the trigger. And isn’t it funny that when someone like Bundy is caught, his friends, family, and neighbors say of him, “We had no idea. He seemed like such a normal, respectable, and responsible person.”

    Again, such extremes are admittedly the exception to the rule, but correlation is scientifically valid. Further, and more down to home, pornography has ruined many, many relationships and will continue to do so until we as a society, and for the most part when we as MEN (males) grow up and give the proper respect to women and others that they deserve as human beings.

    We need to foster the positives in our society, that which is healthy. Pornography is not healthy for anyone involved.

    And if iPhone Matters wants to be thought of as a serious technology website, I would think it should avoid topics such as this one.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on September 19, 2007 11:38 AM

  18. You’re pretty good at pointing out the downside of porn.But let me just say that there are plenty of couples, yes like us, that use porn as a kind of foreplay and it has enriched their sexlife.No way that it has a negative effect on our relationship. So be carefull by saying that porn is unhealthy for anyone involved.

    Posted by Tommy on September 20, 2007 2:27 PM

  19. Best iPod Touch article ever, lol raspberry

    Posted by iPod Touch on September 24, 2007 3:13 PM

  20. Tommy, I would still stand behind the assertion that pornography is unhealthy for anyone involved. In fact, I find it interesting that you and your significant other have to resort to pornography as a precursor to intimacy. I would never in a million years counsel a couple that they bring pornography into their relationship as a means of jumpstarting the physical dimension of their relationship.

    Keep in mind also that the negative results of pornography rarely display themselves initially, but come back to haunt the participants years on down the road. Those images can be quite hard to shake.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on September 24, 2007 6:41 PM

  21. Mansfield. I totally agree - you said that so well.  Porn is all too convenient on a number of levels. Most people have trouble seeing the consequences which tend to creep up on you way later.  I’ll probaby never shake what I’ve seen. What about fantasizing w/o pr0n? Isnt that the same when you get to the root of it? I find that the most difficult thing to avoid.

    Posted by Wow on September 30, 2007 1:49 AM

  22. well that was an excellent argument and I have give you props on that. Sad to say that that had next to nothing to do with the original intention of the article which was obviously a joke or light hearted at the least.
    While I agree that pornography is a social issue a website about a phone is hardly the place to argue any stand point on the said issue.

    Either way great article.

    Posted by Jobs on September 30, 2007 12:43 PM

  23. The problem, Jobs, is that pornography is not a joke or a light hearted matter.

    If you’ve ever counseled someone who’s addicted to pornography you know it’s not funny.

    If you’ve ever watched your friends’ marriage disintegrate because of pornography, you know it’s not light hearted.

    If you’ve ever been the victim of the pornography industry—whether forced into posing for pictures or the victim of a serious crime in which perpetrator’s profile includes significant pornography influence, you’d know it’s not a joke.

    I agree that an iPhone site is not the place to argue any stand on the issue. All I said in my original post was that I thought it was in appropriate. I only stated my case after I was challenged.

    And I still say that if the folks who run iPhonematters.com want this to be considered a serious tech news outlet, this kind of post has no business being here. It’s extremely unprofessional.

    Posted by Peter on October 5, 2007 10:54 AM

  26. Mansfield,

    While I respect your choice to look down upon porn, I think you’re thinking far too narrow-mindedly. First of all, sex, masturbation, and sexual desire are all completely NATURAL. Sexuality is one of the few traits that we share with all animals. Humans are built with sexual instinct (as all animals are), and - due to technological advancements (I.e. Internet), humans will often resort to pornography for sexual release. Why do you think porn is the most viewed subject on the internet?

    What about people who use pornography to their advantage? The ones who masturbate to pornography to prevent themselves from doing more harmful things (ie rape, molestation, adultery…etc)? Let me guess: they’re going to hell.

    Also, your devaluing argument is based entirely on assertion. Indicating in any way that pornography may lead to poverty makes me giggle. Are you serious?

    Masturbation unhealthy? Yeah, i guess im not in the mood for preventing prostate cancer either.

    So sex is only permitted within a relationship? Don’t you realize that’s just a creation of mankind’s romanticism? Most animals are not monogomous. They have several partners throughout their life. But I’m assuming you think we’re “above” our animalistic tendencies, right?

    Do i expect to change your mind? No. But keep in mind that out of the 95%+ of the population that masturbate to pornography, only a handful are these sociopathic serial killers you speak of.

    I’m going to go touch myself now. And - so you know - im not planning on raping or killing anyone in the near future.

    Posted by Morgan on October 15, 2007 9:00 PM

  27. Morgan, thanks for responding, and giving me further opportunity to clarify my position.

    Just for the record, I never said anyone is going to hell for anything. In fact, the only people who have brought up religious issues have been people who disagree with me such as yourself.

    Further, I never said pornography directly leads to poverty (although I’m sure that in some cases it has). What I said was that when we treat people as objects—that is, thinking of them as less than persons and treating as objects who don’t deserve any sense of dignity—we justify all manners of cruelty which include war, crime and poverty. Poverty is only part of the larger picture. For example, by thinking of the homeless persons on the street as an objects, we justify walking by them without doing anything to help the person in need. By thinking of people as nameless individuals without stories and families, we justify blowing them to bits in our wars. And society can justify pornography because we can forget that the people in those pictures are women (and men) who deserve respect and a sense of self-worth. These women are someone’s daughters, sisters and often mothers and wives. But when we are only interested in their bodies for our own pleasure, we have objectified them. This is NEVER healthy for a society. If we followed the ethic of treating people as we wish to be treated, such would be avoided and the world would be a better place.

    You say that sexuality is one of the few traits we share with animals. I say that sexuality is one of the MANY traits we share with animals. Sexual desire is certainly natural. Sexual desire on the part of animals takes on many forms including what we would consider rape on a regular basis. Another trait we share with animals is the instinct to be territorial, something that animals and humans often kill each other over. Frankly, I don’t consider animals able to overcome their natural urges regarding their sexual or territorial instincts.

    But I’m convinced that humans can. It’s called self-discipline. It’s not necessarily natural, but we are all capable of it. And THAT’S what separates us from the animals.

    Without some level of self-discipline, we become narcissists. I think your projection that 95% of the population masturbating to pornography is exaggerated, but the actual number is still high. And why is it high? Because our society is becoming increasingly narcissistic preferring to objectify others—and perhaps even ourselves in the process—rather than invest in meaningful relationships.

Remove the site from your bookmarks no one else cares what you do and you don’t have to tell us. Now go donate to the 700 club

    Anyway the post was funny

    Posted by c goho on December 11, 2007 4:25 PM

  32. c goho, since you referred to me, I suppose I’ll take the opportunity to respond.

    If you’ve paid attention to anything I’ve written, you’ll note that not once have I argued from the viewpoint of religion. Yes, I do have religious beliefs, but I don’t hold people who do not to the same values to my standard. That seems fair to me. The fact that I have religious beliefs doesn’t mean that I have less a right to voice my opinion. But again because of the nature of this forum, I’ve tried to do so without appealing to religious dogma even once.

    Rather, having both known and counseled people affected negatively by pornography, I’ve approached the subject as a societal issue. As a member of society myself, I feel I have the right to do so.

    Instead of interacting with my assertions, you have resorted to name calling and stereo-typing. I could easily turn your argument around and suggest you give pro-pornography people a bad name. But I won’t because calling names as opposed to holding civil discussion doesn’t really do anything but shut down conversation.

    You say the post was funny. But again, having seen the other side of the issue, I have trouble seeing the humor in it.

    And for the record, I have never watched or donated to the 700 Club. It’s unfortunate that you have to resort to stereotype, ad hominem attacks, and the rhetoric of generalization rather than being able to hold civil discussion.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on December 11, 2007 9:47 PM

  33. Please show me how I give pro porn people a good name. I don’t watch porn and don’t care if anyone does and I don’t think anyone cares if I do. Just like no one cares about what you have to say. The post was obviously a stab at humor.

    Posted by c goho on December 12, 2007 6:44 PM

  34. c goho, you really don’t read what I say very closely, do you?

    I specifically said that I wasn’t going to say that you give pro-porn people a bad (not good as you just said) name. It was a mild attempt at sarcasm, but maybe you missed it.

    I agree that the post was a stab at humor. That was never in question. The stab misses in my mind based on the negative fallout I’ve seen from pornography. It’s just not funny when you’re the one who has to help pick up the pieces.

  37. Mansfield. Good points well made. To publish this post in a blog is profoundly immature as are all the people that have responded to you so negatively. They quite onviously do not care about how they treat people. Whatever happened to being able to disagree with someone without resorting to insult or bringing up a stereotype?

  38. Don’t forget that even those without AT&T can get in on this if it comes to pass with an iPod Touch instead of an iPhone, though you might need to jailbreak.

  40. It was bound to happen. Porn on the iPhone is a natural progression of internet and mobile technology. NO device previously had the screen and sound capabilities to make this a reality. Now sites like Erokei and iPhone Alchemy are allowing people to the view the content they want, where and how they want. For those who have such a problem with it, consider that it’s a cultural motion that no one can do anything about. The fact that the demand is so high and continues to be so speaks volumes. It’s not about whether it’s good or bad, that’s just anyone’s opinion. It simply is and arguing with reality only creates problems that don’t exist.

    I bet you can’t help but sneak a peak at the movies to see how vile and degrading they are, though. I agree in a way with what you say but you’re still a wanker!

    Posted by Jonny P on May 20, 2008 5:48 PM

  42. Jonny P,

    If you’re referring to porn movies, then no I don’t watch them—or at least I haven’t seen one in about twenty years.

    And name calling is a poor method of debate/discussion. I attempted mature discussion, and I don’t mind folks disagreeing with me, but ad hominem attacks are pretty useless.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on May 20, 2008 6:35 PM

  43. Another overeducated Internet addicted freak. Get a job Mansfield! Let the kid beat off without your judgement over his head.

    If you don’t like porn…go adopt-a-ho and spend your immense brainpower better elsewhere. Just watch out for her honeypot!  Itll get ya AND you will want to snap a photo of it to boot;)

    Posted by suntan on May 25, 2008 8:16 AM

  44. Again, another example of someone who cannot engage in discussion on the issue without ad hominem attacks. This isn’t productive, but has become predictable.

    And for what it’s worth, I do have a job. I teach at the college level.

  47. I have tons of friends, mansfield

    I am not antisocial

    Posted by Jordan on May 25, 2008 9:38 PM

  48. I don’t doubt you have friends, Jordan. But your response to me was not constructive and it was anti-social. For a society to endure, people who disagree with each other need to be respectful of each other and not resort to name calling and insults in place of constructive dialogue. I have done neither here. And I will be courteous to you even if you do not return the favor.

    Posted by R. Mansfield on May 25, 2008 9:42 PM
