Quoting catwoman: Quoting alameda: Maybe that depends on where you live. In NYC you see it everywhere, in the SF Bay Area, it's all over too. Istanbul, being a large metropolis, probably follows the model of other large metropolitan areas. |
Possible, but from my own experience, porn is not put out on the streets in the US as much as it is in Istanbul. I was literally walking on the streets in IST and looking at naked pictures of women. It has NEVER happened to me in the US, even in NYC. |
Interesting, you see what you see and I see what I see. I never was looking for it, but saw it anyway pretty open and in your face.

If you are talking about naked women and men on fronts of magazines the only city that I have been to where you won't see this is London! It is serupticiously kept on the top shelf of the newsagents. But there are still plenty of problems within the porn industry. Magazines are just a very small part of it.
Go to Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Hamburg, etc etc and "porn mags" are openly sold on the streets in full view of children.

Quoting catwoman: A wonderful web site that aims at initiating a debate about this and which is a long needed voice of criticism of the pornification of our culture and everything around! This topic is especially important for Turkey, since porn is even more widespread and normalized there then it is in the US!

Of course it is. Regular daily papers with NEWS contain pornography sections in them and their main pages always contain at least a couple half-naked pictures of women. It's truly disgusting. |
 .............
i think that is disgusting!!!!... more than that... porn is sick! |
Personally I don't consider a few photos in newspapers to be porn! I think that is a complete over reaction.

Well, I do. Almost naked pictures don't belong there.

I don't entirely disagree with you, but there are bigger fish to fry, and not on the top of "things I don't like about the world" list.

Other then people actually murdering each other, I think oppression, abuse, exploitation is the second most urgent problem in the world. The issue of pornography and sexual exploitation is very tightly linked to the larger culture of mysogyny and oppression..

Quoting catwoman:
A small example: superonline is a turkish internet provider company and guess what - they have a porn section on their web site. Something like that doesn't happen in the US. |
Can you provide me with the link?
I have checked their site and cannot locate it.
Note: I am not chasing porn at all. I am only checking if you are really right.
