In reply to the discussion: well since its porn month so here goes. why do some people assume porn is only pics of women [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)11. That whole thread is a mess.
        You cant even question how the fuck the thing is going to be defined, without being accused of apologia for the worst of whatever someone can find on google.
Its the UK, so the 1st Amendment doesn't apply, but I am pretty strong pro first amendment. I understand why it gives nazis the right to march, but that doesn't make me "pro nazi marches".
I think when you are talking about making it illegal for consenting adults to dramatize something in front of a camera, you're heading into murky legal territory.
And if course, right there in that thread are the people arguing that ALL porn is non-consensual, because women (and again, forgetting that porn isn't only women) aren't capable of consenting to be naked in front of a camera, ever.

        i think a big part of it is that we all tend to talk past each other, and then we all start fighting

        wine and art are the beginnings of great porn whether written, painted or on film

        If that's really their objective then I'm not going to take them very seriously.

        It always surprises me the level of naivety when it comes to sex and sexuality.

        That was my thought when I glanced through that thread, right before I trashed it.

        Understandably, some people don't really want to read the entire series of 800 page novels.
