what is the point of the adult news

[sexy-girl]

im sorry if this has been discussed before i dont use the chat boards very often on literotica but i find some of the adult news stories to be very disturbing ... i can understand the reason for the funny news posts or information ones ... but i think it is quite sick when theres postings of real abuse news pieces and real rape ... you might think im being nuts considoring these storys and news peices are often in newspapers and on the tv ... however the difference is this is a place people come for there erotic thrills and i think its bad taste people getting there erotic thrills off real life abuse and rape ... i dont like Nc or Rape storys but i can understand that theres a difference because they are fantasy but i dont agree with having these adult news pieces on here because they are real and real people have been hurt

however the difference is this is a place people come for there erotic thrills

It's kinda like playboy... we read the articles too.



Besides that I abstained from voting because the reasoning behind your post is moronic.

 

[sexy-girl]

did you read the article about the man abusing 15 year old girl and a 13 and 14 year old boy ... does playboy have these articles too ... im sure some people find articles like this titilating and thats why i dont think they should be on a erotic fiction site

 

[Tabby432]

*sigh* let me clarify...

Playboy: magazine with articles not relating to sex.

Literotica: site with topics not relating to sex.

Meaning: Because "this is a place people come for their erotic thrills" does not mean that everything on this site is stroke material.

And honestly I was shocked at the idea of someone getting off on news storys.

The writers here are so much better.

 

[sexy-girl]

but the news articles here are relating to sex they are posted as such and described as such ... i am not sure if your posting without looking at the adult news section ... but there seems about 3 different types of storys ones about sex aids/protection ones of sexual humouours nature and ones of abuse/rape ... i dont have a problem with any of the others just the abuse/rape ones

a very close friend of mine is a rape survivor too so i am close too the feelings and difficulties that causes ... i dont like rape storys however my post was nothing to do with the rape storys that are posted its just a personel thing that i dont like them i wasnt suggesting they be removed infact i said that the fantasy side of it was different ... my problem that i had was with the real life news items posted of people being raped and abused ... i have seen a story (not on this site) about the missing school girl danielle jones i think its naive to believe that "some" people dont get off on reading real life news items about abuse and rape and i would like to believe that this site doesnt welcome those sorts of people

trying one more time...

thinking of something simple....

Ok, remember sex ed in school? (pretend if you didn't have it)

What was the point of it? It was to educate you about sex.

Now, think back... we're some of the kids titilated by it? Sure a few were.

Was it the teachers fault? Of couse not. The teacher didn't try to excite the students... just make them aware and inform them.

That's what we have here. Yes, the news articles are about sex. Sure some people might get turned on by them but it's not the purpose of them. Just like it's not the teachers fault.. it's not Lits fault either.

Did you understand that?

 

[sexy-girl]

early days i know but most people so far have said they would prefer they were got rid of ... hehe im wishing some of those people would of posted some suport of my post maybe


ok i am not sure what anyone can learn about sex by reading news peices about people being raped or abused ... i think that is not the sort of sex we would be wanting to teach people ... i wonder therefore why you compare it too sex education classes in school

 

[Tabby432]

Maybe someone can help you with this. I'm sorry I can't.

[sexy-girl]

why do i "need" help you describe it as if i have a problem .. if we disagree then just accept that do not automatically assume theres something wrong with a person because they dont agree with your viewpoint ... i accept if you disagree with me thats no problem but wait and see what other people might think too ... maybe someone might post something to change my mind or perhaps you might change your mind everyone should be open and flexiable

Did you understand that?

One point that hasn't been made yet, is that the news stories are NOT chosen by Literotica!

The news stories are extracted from and provided by billywildhack.com and the selection is NOT controlled by Literotica.

sexy-girl,
While you may be accessing the news stories from an erotic stories site, they are NOT part of the site, and are NOT intended as erotic entertainment.

The stories about child abuse,rape, and other sex crimes are useful information for those of us who are parents and grandparents -- you can't guard against what you don't know about.

If the news stories offend you, don't click on them.

 

[sexy-girl]

to say its not lits fault or that lit does not choose the storys is not an issue lit chooses to have the adult news on the site so they have to accept resposibillity of there content

the issue is if you agree with the content being on an erotic fiction site which contains storys that are simalier to some of the real life news pieces that are posted ... i dont really agree with what you said about it being of educational reasons for that reason why not have other more informative acticles posted on here that really would make a difference in stopping child abuse and rape ... rather then these acticles which just discuss the grim details of the partys concerned then anyway they could of been stopped ... maybe it would be a good idea if this site did print some anti rape/child abuse acticles i think it would be good if sites such as this accepted resposibillity that some very nasty people do visit sites like this ... and to say to them that there not welcome

 

[Weird Harold]

i dont really agree with what you said about it being of educational reasons...

You are entitled to your opinion, however wrong and pigheaeded it may be. I never said the purpose of including those articles was educational, I said they were were "useful information."

Lit is no more responsible for the content of the links to billywildhack than they are for the content of cumshooters or any of the other sites that they provide links to. The links are ther soley for those who find them interesting. If youdon't like the content of a link, don't click on it.

It's adult news. Why does that have to mean it is about dildos and fucking?

Adult news, regardless of what it is, is meant to be read by adults who should be able to process the information in a mature way.

Any pedophile or idiot who would get their rocks off on reading a news story about a man raping a kid could find the same story in the local paper. It doesn't matter that this site links to the articles.

 

[Tabby432]

Thank you!

Tabby, I give you an A for effort.

I'm giving it to WH though. He deserves it.

 

[sexy-girl]

there is no need to get insulting i dont believe i have with anyone here ... also its law that a site has to take resposibillty for links on its page ... you cant link to illegal material also the adult news isnt mearly a link its "posted" on this site ... however if you people disagree with me then fair enough i think ive put across my point as best as i can if you dont understand where i am coming from then fair enough i wont say that everyone is stupid who disagrees with me or they are pig headed especially if its the majority that disagree with me

 

[LordMagicMan]

when i post i try to use puncuation but i guess that doesnt matter

as for the adult news when its your site you can decide what to do with it and what to post on it i'm sure they didnt want to do just normal news so they decided to add the sex news for something different Laurel and Manu put alot of work into the site to give it a wide range of varity if the news doesnt appeal to you then DON'T read it

 

[morninggirl5]

also its law that a site has to take resposibillty for links on its page ... you cant link to illegal material also the adult news isnt mearly a link its "posted" on this site ...

what law? what country?

The adult news are links to a story on another site. That's clearly obvious when the story opens in another window.

Precisely. It's news. It's not there to get your "juices flowing" - it's there to make you aware of what's happening in your own culture. The major networks are currently running footage of a man who was shot then run over by Italian police. If you think a story about a rapist being arrested & convicted is more obscene than that, I really don't know what to say.

If anything, the news stories show what can happen if you DO rape/molest/etc. You may have noticed that the vast majority of news stories involves people being PROSECUTED for committing crimes. Let's take a look at today's headlines (emphasis mine):

- Sexy video gift leads to prison sentence (07.21.01)
- "Most Wanted" actors face teen sex charges (07.21.01)
- Anti-gang crusader accused of fondling teen (07.21.01)
- Philippine government targets risque email (07.21.01)
- Concerns raised over condom report (07.21.01)
- Georgia county extorts strip clubs (07.21.01)
- Judge orders nude beachgoers to cover up (07.21.01)
- Sex with teens draws 165-year sentence (07.21.01)
- Mother appeals AOL kid porn verdict (07.21.01)
- Bogus survey "measured" cybersex addiction (07.21.01)

I'm not convinced that stories about rapists going to jail is in any way ENCOURAGES such behavior. In fact, I think on a site in which sex is treated with openness and acceptance, the news helps to inject a little reality by showing the consequences of certain actions. In certain cases, it also helps to give you an idea of how restrictive government can be - i.e. when people are convicted of sodomy in parts of the South - and make you aware when your rights may potentially be infringed.

We don't pick the news - an outside party does that. However, I have yet to read something that I am disturbed to find on the site. Personally, I'm HAPPY to read when child molesters get big prison sentences. I'm HAPPY to read about rapists being caught and punished. I fail to see how justice being carried out on sick, pathetic, hurtful individuals is in any way offensive.

Life is not G-Rated. This site is an adults-only site. Many of the articles we run are also ran by news sources all over the web, and some even on network news. Many people don't like to watch TV news because they find real life offensive. If you are not comfortable with the news, then please feel free to not read the news. There's nothing on the site that's mandatory.

 

[Laurel]

you cant link to illegal material also the adult news isnt mearly a link its "posted" on this site

The news section is perfectly legal. Many if not all of the stories are culled from reputable news sources such as AP and Reuters. They are factual accounts of news taking place, and there is nothing illegal about them in the United States.

 

[sexy-girl]

hehe Laurel your first post was well put together and put across some good points thanks for posting on this post even though you disagreed with me ... but come on i never said they were illlegal lol ... i only said sites have to take resposibillity of there content regardless of if the owners of the site write them or not ... i dont know if its because you didnt read the whole post of mine (i presume you did considoring lenth and thought of your first post) ... maybe you were just trying to make me too look like a nutter ... i only mentioned the legal and law side of things so people wouldnt beable to deny theres a moral resposibillity to a content of a site too

LOL! No, no...I wasn't trying to make you look like a nutter. I read your post and thought you were saying that the news was illegal. Rereading, I can see that you weren't saying that at all. My apologies.

Our site obviously does not condone child molestation. We don't allow any stories with characters under the age of 18. The news stories that DO deal with child molestation involve the perps being hauled off to jail. The fictional nonconsent stories we run involve the woman or "victim" enjoying the event to some degree, so they function as fantasies for those many women out there with that interest. The news stories that deal with REAL rape involve the perps being hauled off to jail.

I think that's important. I think people need to be made aware that hurtful acts ARE prosecuted. If showing news stories involving molesters going to jail for 165 years makes a potential perp think twice before acting on her/his impulses, that's not an altogether bad thing. If these were stories that glorified child abuse or rape, I might feel differently, but they do not. They show these crimes to be CRIMES - with potential punishments and the public humiliation of the crime being broadcast on the web for everyone to see.
