Will porn be openly legalised in Singapore in near future?
-
hope naked news and Playboy be legalised here..otherwise we could always smuggle em inOriginally posted by solarbody11:Technology has made it impossible to be controlled much. In Japan, porn is a big money making industry. Singapore has no natural resource, and we are desperate to find new source income. Long time ago we never even thought building casinos will ever happen in Singapore. Will our society open up so much enough in near future that, we start a new industry? No one can tell for sure. But it will be a controversial topic with lots of up coming debate, should our government consider this. Just a thought. -
Google it yourself but research shows that penetrative sex provides the most benefits as compare to say masturbation. I doubt that you can be satisfied simply looking at breasts all day long. Neither will you be satisfied looking at hard core porn. Sooner or later you have find a partner who is willing to do it for free, pay you or you pay her.Originally posted by NuLife:I believe Soft Porn is fine, eg playboy.
Infact benefical to mens' health and thus society.
Research has shown that men who look at breeast everyday
have lower risk of heart attack.
Lets face it, its part of life.
When society is open to such,
there will be less tikopeh, molesters and rapers.
However, hardcore porn I dun support. -
Whether you support it or not it is already there on the internet. So it is better to face reality and accept the fact.

i have always felt it strange that in singapore, prositution is legal but pornography is not. personally i feel prositution is morally lower than pornography. i cannot think of any other country where prositution is legal but pornography is not. it feels abit double standard.

honestly, with free stuffs on the net,
who would want to spend money on playboy mag???
even if they allow, i wonder if the business can strive as well as FHM/Maxim.
internet is really the prefered medium for porn industry. -
i couldn't agree more. Because we as humans, aren't perfect. And our wants will always be insatiable - be it tangible or intangibleOriginally posted by ShutterBug:Well, too much porn is not good.
But too much control and prohibition, is not good either.
The key is balance.
There is, NO perfect society. -
Porn will not be legalised in Singapore in the near future. No way. Simply because pornography, in whatever culture, especially in the more traditional Singapore society, isn't justified. And pornography - the consumption of pornography still carries a huge stigma with it, unlike gambling which is accepted as part of festivities and such. As much as the Singapore government is trying to open up and be more liberal, the need to keep our young, impressionable children safe will always be a top priority and legalizing pornography is certainly not going to help that at all

I always believe that the "invasion" Japanese porn VCD has directly increases the no. of outrage of modesty cases in Singapore. Even increase such crimes rate in Malaysia and other neighbouring countries are related to this factor.Originally posted by F.raon.I.R:u r mad.NEVER.open casino at most u have hard core gamblers,porn?u may have a whole street of molesters n rapers.... -
I continue to read with interest the recent reports on youngsters' attitude towards the recent scandal. It sure reveal a lot on this aspect.Originally posted by ablazegal:Porn will not be legalised in Singapore in the near future. No way.

name a country where pornograghy is not legalise and they are developed country.
name various country where pornograghy is legaliseand they are developed country.
for the former, i really cant think of one. except the growing china and india which is still not developed country yet.
banned on pornograhy has stifle the inventiness of singaporeans. it make us just think straight and not flexible. sound unbelievable??
always admire the koreans, japanese and taiwanese for their flexibility, inventiness in their product development R&D capability and ways in which they conduct their businesses. -
blame the VCDs when one cannot control oneself?Originally posted by solarbody11:I always believe that the "invasion" Japanese porn VCD has directly increases the no. of outrage of modesty cases in Singapore.

want gahmen to control people like kids?
well.. you can try make sg like those middle east muslim countries,
ban alcohol, ban porn, get all the women to cover up.
see if thats what u want...
control and ban everything,
smart and more open minded people will leave. -
The only reason why i feel gahmen may not legalise porn
maybe bcos of the muslim community.
I expect strong objections. -
proper exposure and education will not lead to such things from happening.Originally posted by F.raon.I.R:u r mad.NEVER.open casino at most u have hard core gamblers,porn?u may have a whole street of molesters n rapers.... -
Judging by the negative fallout from Tammy's private 'porn' video and various letters to the press, is it really realistic to expect a conservative society like SG to even consider PORN as a VIABLE INDUSTRY at all?
There's PORN readily available on the internet with a credit card for people to wank off and our red light district that keeps desparate men localised at pre-defined areas.
I doubt the police or govt will extend further 'supplements'. -
haha, the problem is singapore is too conservative, and the higher ups are scared of this and scared of that, very risk calculative, which is good and bad.Originally posted by BillyBong:Judging by the negative fallout from Tammy's private 'porn' video and various letters to the press, is it really realistic to expect a conservative society like SG to even consider PORN as a VIABLE INDUSTRY at all?

i mean, if you release a sex video of a fellow school mate here in the usa or something, they will just treat it as some extra knowledge, and not like some important news that has to be spread to everyone.
would you not agree that, if you know of something that you want, and yet you do not have it, you would yearn to have it more. yet, once you get it, your yearn for it is not as much as when you didnt have it. -
I wont say it will be OPENLY legalised but I think our government knows that SEX industry is a very powerful tool to keep Singapore ahead of competition for tourist money.
Unlike cities like Dubai, KL and Jakarta, Singapore is not a muslim country, hence if we could make singapore like a little Amsterdam in Asia, it will be good for us.
The reason why we can see so many stupid questions posted in BAR is because Singaporeans (especially the man) are deprevied of porn. I believe Singapore will slowly allow more porn to be legalised. -
The Porn industry does have a potential in Singapore.
Just look at the recent case.
The video is circulated through email for FREE.
Now, the malaysians have BEAT singapore in selling it without copyright and patent.
Imagine the lady would be a Millionaire now if she can make earning from the video.
Yes, it will be legalised sooner or later as long as the number one family have the share of the pie.
They will stated that Singaporean are already a grown nation.
Set up a Sex or Porn Addict Counselling Hotline.
Set up a Porn Rehab Center.
And they will ask the opposing pple to "MOVE ON". -
Agreed...except that doesn't extend to PORN...unfortunately.Originally posted by coffeeortea:would you not agree that, if you know of something that you want, and yet you do not have it, you would yearn to have it more. yet, once you get it, your yearn for it is not as much as when you didnt have it.

Yet the ironic thing is that attention was diverted away from the actual perpetrator who STOLE the phone and used the net to CIRCULATE the video and instead, police and papers alike placed the 'limelight' on the participants in the video.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:The Porn industry does have a potential in Singapore.

Not even sure what kind of effort is being placed to trace the thief in the first place. There's an obvious loss in perspective in this case and the victim has now become the victimised target. -
I agree with Billybong. It is indeed doubtful that the Singapore government will furthur extend the availability of porn to the local market. Pretty much like how movies and songs are available for downloading and people do download them, with the government aware of it. Yet the authorities do not 'legalize' piracy.
Moreover, pornography isn't confined to the satisfaction of the male needs. There are other issues involved as well, such as the demeaning of the female body and how it indirectly makes women an object of spectacle. It is demaning to females and women rights groups will definitely protest.
Wheras the opening of the casino could be - in some twisted sense - be justified by economic necessity and the need to attract tourists, pornography, like piracy - would stand a miniscule chance of being legalized in the near future. The furthurest the government would extend it, in my opinion, is to allow for late night sex chat lines, or the permitting the access of pornography sites on the internet by the use of credit cards and such -
When that happens, our local poly might start a new course for that
