Apple to Start Allowing Adult Content on iPad

Well, let me tell you something.
I like to beat the bosh about 8 times a day and 14 a day Hrs a day at the weekend.
And even though my wife (Deride) doesn't like it, the fact that I can go at it Hammer, Nail and Tongs 24/7 makes me very happy.
Even though I can see it on my Airbook, Desktop MacPro, iPhone and that other thingy ma-jigg and my Macbook Pro; The fact that I'm able to just sit on my Sofa, and look at Porn almost gives me a semi


It's the best thing Apple have done, it's a revolution, they should take the rest of the week off

All I can say is, adult content has been available on the iPad for a loooong time. Safari, anyone?

There is a difference between allowing free access and then actually promoting/selling the product.

Apple already allows Adult Content on the iPad. There are around a dozen web browsing apps in the App store that you have to (claim to) be over 17 to download and use. Then just enter your favorite URL.

That's still not the same as actually selling/promoting the product that way. If someone buys a car and then goes on a rampage running over lots of people, does that mean the car manufacturer is at fault for letting them do that? For apparently manufacturing a deadly machine?
 
Playboy isn't even porn, just some airbrushed boobs in a mag that has been destroyed by the Maxims of the world because it is irrelevant and old fashioned. One shouldn't worry about kids accessing Playboy, but any adult who is dumb enough to pay for something so stupid.

Hugh Hefner is a moron and probably has no idea wha he's talking about anyway.

Look, you need to learn that correlation doesn't equal causation. Sexual addiction is not in existance because of porn necessarily nor would the lack of porn completely remove sexual addiction from society.

The simple fact is some humans have addictive psychological profiles. Porn, gambling, alcohol, drugs, it doesn't matter, they will get addicted. The solution is not to punish everyone else by banning anything and everything that could lead to some guy with a penchant for addiction to having problems.

Porn it and of itself is not a problem for the vast majority of people who consume it. I dare you to show sources pointing otherwise.

I'll just go ahead and say that sexual addiction is nothing more than something people with no discipline invented to justify being idiots. I'd venture to say that every person between about 12 and 60 is a sex addict, just that some have easier access to their drug or are less disciplined than others.

How's your vision? :D
 
Not an app after all

Fear not prudes of the world:

Playboy spokesman Theresa Hennessey clarified Hefner's statement, telling FoxNews.com that the comely centerfolds and sensual snaps from the magazine won't be available in an iPad app after all.

"We are releasing a web-based subscription service with Bondi Digital Publishing that will give users access to every issue of Playboy both past and present. The service will be iPad-compatible and will utilize iPad functions," Hennessey said.

But never fear, loyal readers! Hennessey revealed that Playboy's engineers “also have plans to release a non-nude version of a Playboy-branded iPad app in the coming months that adheres to all of Apple’s policies and guidelines.”

There is a very simple solution if you have the problem that your kid might start a playboy app on your ipad. DON'T INSTALL IT.

geez.. I'd rather have my kid accidentally seeing a nipple than a zombie biting a human's head of in a first person shooter. I have never heard of a kid having nightmares from nipples.

I have a friend who was offended because store window mannequins in europe have nipples which shape showed through the clothing. There are not enough roll-eye smilies on the internet to show how ridiculous this discussion is.

Not now it won't. Even if Apple had agreed to this as part of a future subscription service, Hef has just ruined his chances by all but confirming this update is coming between now and March.

Steve, and Tim, will not be happy!

You are assuming Steve Jobs has more influence over the mainstream media than Hef. Steve has been to a few Mansion parties and felt way too out of his league. I'm sure Christie or a few of Hef's sons had some time at The Loop making this deal work.
 
I sometimes wish Apple was not an american company

My God, how prudish americans can get. Protect the kids from the boobs...Ahhh quick!
I bet it will be possible to order guns online however.
Pathetic.

I thought if i wanted porn, I had to go to Android.

To me, it's just another hypocritical move by Apple.

How dare Steve talk down about Android, as if people that enjoy porn are beneath Apple users, just to start allowing it in his walled garden, a few months later.:rolleyes:

I bet this was spearheaded by Jobs own hypocrisy, it's ALL ABOUT MONEY, he's worse than Larry Ellison.

At least Ellison doesn't act holy, cloaking his greed the way Steve does. Can you say Karma?
 
I must be living in an alternate-reality USA - because I don't see this whole prudish sexual nature at all. Where I am - we've got sex AND violence, along with greed and drugs.

On broadcast TV they don't show much for nudity - however that does not apply to real life. Most everyone out here knows the FCC is laughable, and out of touch with reality. If you're comparing television content to the state of a people - you're waaaaay off the mark.

Seeing someone die in person is traumatic, seeing intercourse in public is offensive. I don't want to see either - but in no way am I feeling better about the violent death than the sex.

And yes, sadly, I have seen both. :(

I think people here and in this generation in general, don't realize how much damage this stuff can have on kids and teens, especially later when they try to have a normal relationship.
It's been scientifically proven that folks who consumed stuff like this (actually the more harder stuff) fail to have a normal love life.

PS: I don't think violence and blood in TV shows and movies are much better...

Yes you can go on and flame me about my post.

Provide proof. I want reputable sources to your statement that they can't have a normal love life. Don't spread FUD, or preach from some moral high ground. Give me numbers and scientific studies that validate your assertion.

I'll be waiting.

Edit: Just saw your post with your "proof." You can't take an article about a book by a single sociologist and claim that's scientific proof. Sociologists are the laughing stock of the scientific community. They "feel" so they must be right. Also, saw a psychologist posting themselves as a primary source, No. You cannot do that either. Just because you're a psychiatrist, that doesn't mean you get to anecdotally be a primary source. Peer-reviewed journals, (double) blind tests, objective results. That's what I want.

In the mean time, parents need to parent their children. Hardcore pornography isn't meant for 5 year olds. Parents need to do their job.

No wonder why Steve Jobs is feeling ill. Smut on the iPad... UNACCEPTABLE!

Are you guys serious? Turn on the parental controls. How different is this than your kids sitting down at a computer with thousands of porn choices that don't even require a subscription?
 
If you're paying for porn on the internet, you're wasting money.
