To point out that porn is bad for you, and we should come to terms with what it does to our sexuality and relationships with each other. Isn't this really getting old? Seriously though, there are few things worse than porn. It's worse than TV and video games put together! It is about objectification, and desensitization, and dominance, and some of the grossness already gone over previously in this thread.Who the fuck cares? If you don't like porn, don't watch it. Nobody is making you.
We should have quiet, polite sex when no one is looking, and then not discuss it afterward...
There is a market for it...a very successful market. People want it, or it wouldn't exist. We have civil rights Pippy, and they do cover the viewing of pornographic materials. You confuse me. On one side you come across as a small-government supporter (albeit a crazy conspiracy addled one), and on other occasions you seem to support controlling what people do and talk about. The two views seem quite incompatible to me.
