[HappyHunter6]

Why isn't there a bigger industry in it - especially when u see the talent on here and what not!

Have you seen the tv line up this year? They cant even shoot the proper stuff let alone a few loads. I know a guy, the next Spielberg. He's still in college and is turning bald. I see him shooting stuff on the bridge or parks or streets and its not heroin. Its films and I dont get them. A guy standing on a bridge looking at the lens of a camera saying nothing and your man giving directions probably. Saying shit like think up the lens of the camera, the public will feel the fear come over their screen ,feel the knowiness. The public feels f'all. Sitting there eating sweets and drinking coke. Why isnt he saying anything, he hasnt said anything yet. Whats he staring at us for. FFS Porn? They cant shoot a basic snap jesus.

Porn in Ireland
Why isn't there a bigger industry in it?
No real demand for porn, and so little production of local porn.

More to do with our culture more than religion. Religion does have a part to play too because in this country religion contaminates our culture.
The culture of Ireland tends to be of the “hard man” and intimacy is seen as soft. Real men are not interested in sex or porn.
This is more of a reason than the religious taboo or the English sentiment about sex reflected in Lord Chesterfield’s quote, “the position is undignified, the pleasure momentary, and the consequences damnable”.

I believe our culture is more Celtic than Roman Catholic.
Quote, ‘Religion is like beauty…it’s only skin deep’
In Ireland, Catholicism is particularly shallow. Our old Celtic culture breaks through everywhere.

Well in some of us.
And this is where porn demand in this country also suffers.
Porn is caught between two stools. The right wing as irishdeltaforce comments [Because your living in a right wing catholic county where the moral majority of repressed bigots tell the rest of us what we can watch………etc]
These right wing bigots do not want porn because are afraid of going to hell. The other extreme (and there appears to be little common ground between the two extremes) have little interest. They know porn is not real and doesn't really reflect what tends to happen when two (or more!) people have unrehearsed, unscripted sex. Real sex is a poor spectator sport. Porn, which is sex designed to be a spectator sport, seems unreal to a mature person with sexual experience.

Any way, porn was banned here until relatively recently, and there was a strong censorship culture here for both books and movies. However you will find that this isn't a uniquely Irish phenomenon. However you will find a strong anti pornography element in feminist organisations and their various hangers oners who dominate our increasingly PC media. As for a pornography industry, you will find due to Internet and free porn sites that this industry is struggling to make any money.

Personally I find pornography distasteful, and damaging to healthy sexual appetites.

Dead right. You would think from reading some posts that Ireland is the only country in the world that doesn't produce pornography en masse.

Making hard core porn in Ireland would be illegal. People having sex for money? That is prostitution. Doing it in front of a director, a cameraman and a lighting rigger, while the make up girl and other performers and crew wait in another room would end up having the whole production falling foul of the laws that ban brothels.

If you think that this sounds unlikely ask yourself why almost all hard core porn in the US is produced in the San Fernando valley. There is a local ordinance in force which specifically suspends anti-prostitution laws in the case of porn production if the production meets certain rules such as STI testing and more recently and controversially condom use.

Porn gets made in places where it is legal.

The UK Seems to be an exception to this. Perhaps the weird way in which the law is worded makes the chances of successful prosecution uncertain.
