This just occured to me right now while replying in the Who's a Liberal thread...and it's a perfect example actually, of my personal views on it and my general pro-First Amendmant beliefs kinda clashing. In a way that's what makes it interesting to debate and think about.


Anyway I'm personally opposed to it, and in fact have never wanted to look at it myself (despite having lots of chances in my teen and now-early adult years, I've turned it down). It just seems trashy and I think it's degrading to women in general, just because it tends to portray them as mere sexual objects. Guys are looking at that stuff only thinking about these young women's bodies for their own pleasure, and forgetting they're also human beings with feelings, not to mention someone's sister, daughter or even mother. We'd think differently about it if one of OUR female relatives or friends did it. I'm sure lots of the girls only do it for money and not for pleasure...and if they do, then THEY'RE trashy too. Which kinda gives the message that it's okay for women to do that, and that enables horndog guys to treat women that way, and the cycle gets worse.

It has far-reaching effects too because when we PURELY think sexually and cut out any romantic or frienship feelings, not only is that limiting in general, but it usually damages personal relationships too. It makes you feel the same way about girlfriends, wives and other women in general. I could never think of any girls like that. Even celebrities or people on tv who I like (that I don't know personally), it was always from knowing stuff about them or liking their personality, etc. I might be attracted to them later, but that's only AFTER I feel like I "know them" first - not literally but you know what I'm saying, lol. ;)



Point being, I think people do have a right to look at porn, but that doesn't mean they should do it. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's morally right either.

"I do have a cause, though, it is obscenity.  I'm for it."
  - Tom Lehrer, 1965

I've stated my viewpoints on it before. I am against it, mainly due to personal reasons. It's fine and dandy whenever you are able to shut off your yearning for it...but try being in relationships, yes..more than 1...that consist of people being so addicted that they place it before their spouse. Yep..that sucks. And before anyone says anything like, "oh maybe you needed to spice things up..maybe you are just a prude, etc"....I will say that I have never given ANYONE reason to HAVE to turn to that or another human being. I do well..what I do. ;)

Depends on what you mean by "views."
:P

Depends on the type of pornography and if it becomes an addiction or not. There is a lot of kinky porn out there that can be very degrading and/or morally wrong, I don't think ALL porn is immoral necessarily though.

I wouldn't want any woman I cared for to get mixed up in it.

It really depends. Good pornography is when both parties consent and when either party can pull out at anytime. Bad pornography is what I despise: rape, child pornography, or anything else in which there is hurt or no consent by all parties involved.

I don't consider nudity to be pornography. Even if the image/video is for arousal purposes.

Yeah, the first part is actually a fair enough point. I don't think there's ANY "good" porn, but at least the first example you described in consentual. As repulsive as I find it, people still have the right to watch or perform in that. The second kind on the other hand, I wouldn't even call porn, it's basically a crime.

I actually own about 2 dozen VHS Video Playboy Centerfolds, but honestly, the only two I ever watched were the 'Jenny McCarthy' and 'Victoria Silvstedt' ones.  

Pornography really isn't my thing.  I'd rather have the real thing.  But if anything, alot of pornography movie titles really make me laugh ...

Luke's definition of good porn is right on.  And that being the parameter, I have no objection, and believe it is covered by the first amendment.  I've read some interviews with female porn stars who seem to enjoy their work. 

This has been a debate since the beginning of time-and it boils down to the question of "What is porn?" What someone may define as porn, someone else may define as art. Yes, even the most raunchy sex flick someone will consider as art. There was a time when showing a woman's ankle was considered porn. Today, you see women wearing very little and most think nothing of it. So, who is to say what is porn and what is art. And this debates falls within human sexuality. There are a lot of people (usually male but females as well) who are voyeuristic. Is there anything wrong with that? Some may say yes-that is not "normal". However, it seems like that IS normal because you can get sex flicks, magazines and/or anything else you can think of to satisfy your voyeuristic tendencies. I would much rather have someone watching a video of two (or more) consenting adults then having them peek in someone's bedroom without their knowledge. As long as the people in the films, magazines or whatever are consenting adults, I don't have a problem with it.

I'm in the Tom Lehrer camp...

To clarify, I don't think it should be illegal to view pictures/videos of any legal act (I also think it strange that, this side of the pond anyway, it is legal to have sex at 16 but not see pictures of it for another two years).

This is not to say that I like or approve of the exploitation in the porn industry.. which is not a given: there are plenty of porn stars who are most definitely not exploited (anyone seen Ali G's porn star interviews?) - also there's been a huge explosion in DIY, what with cheap, decent quality cameras, web2 and broadband: it's hard to think of something that consensual as exploitative.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjvCRPrCo


I've seen that before.  :D ;D :D ;D

My view is that it's the person's business. I'm perverted and have abit of voyeuristic nature(not enough to be a peeping tom and get arrested though) and kinky nature(although somewhat tame compared to what else I've seen on the net). Fortunately, my willpower is pretty good as well and I've avoided getting an addiction to it.

I own alot of images, most are mainly in the nudity/lingerie/swimwear department.

One thing I will say, which is obvious, is that is not for everybody.

I'm 100% pro-porn (as long as it's legal porn).  I don't have a Dell, but I agree with this guy...

I have a buddy who I guess you would call a porn addict.  He has a reserved table every Friday and Saturday night at a strip club.  Weird part of this is that the strip club is 250 miles away.  Friday night after work he beelines it to his car and hauls azz to the shake shack. 250 miles, geez...  ::)

I've known the guy for 20 years, he's never told me about all this.  I'm told that he usually drops $500 a night at those boobie bars.  :o

You can't have a view on it ... till you've viewed it. At which time, you can take the appropriate action !    :-X

Well a month or so ago he took some coworkers out to see the Cubbies play at Wrigley.  On the way back, they stopped to get dinner and he was visibly agitated because the gang were eating to slowly, he wanted to get to the nooky bar.  The guys who were with him did not really want to see a strip club and asked him if they had a TV there where they could watch a ball game.  He said "I don;t know if there are any TVs there or not" and again was ticked off that these guys were not in on the action.

Anyway, they get to the booby bar and lo & behold, there are like 50 TV's in the place.  :o  My buddy never paid attention to that at all.  One track mind, I guess.

My coworkers said that my buddy retired to the "special room" a couple of times that night.  ::)

So yes, I think my buddy is getting more than a back rub at the joint.  :-\\

I admit yeah, that does seem a little off. They should probably make the minor/adult line at 18 everywhere, that way it would make things like this less confusing. As much as I detest porn, looking at stuff isn't nearly as consequential as actually HAVING sex.


Luke's definition of good porn is right on.  And that being the parameter, I have no objection, and believe it is covered by the first amendment.  I've read some interviews with female porn stars who seem to enjoy their work. 

Well yeah, you could argue the point too that it's self expression. As long as they're 18+ they have a right to do it, just as people have the right to buy it, but that doesn't mean it's a moral or good influence either. And if they enjoy it, what does that say about those women? A life like that doesn't come without consequences...I mean how could you be PROUD of that? It alienates family and friends, and it's not like you can do it when you're 60 or 70.

That's true, I mean prostitution is "the world's oldest profession", so no matter what any of us think, it's probably not gonna go away. I also agree that what counted as porn in the 1950s and even '60s certainly wouldn't by today's standards, so that changes too.

Oh yeah, it's certainly normal for just about everyone in the world to think about sex and stuff to an extent...from like age 12 throughout the rest of their lives. I'm not condemning that part 'cause it's human...but I don't think there's a need for hardcore porn either. Then again I guess I was the 1 out of 100 who never really wanted to look at that (I've of course seen sexy stuff for a long time, but never wanted to see explicit stuff). Like I said it just always seemed trashy and non-romantic to me. I've always liked girls as far back as my memory goes lol, but my attractions have always been more peripheral. Or mildly sexy at the most. ;)

Then again most people DO want to see stuff like that, and I admit magazines and videos are probably the easiest and safest way to do so.

This is the only reason I would ever say it's "okay", though I still don't approve of porn in general (but don't mind "artistic" nudity).  

(This is not directed towards you btw Cat, just anyone)---I get kind of annoyed when people have a "boys will be boys" attitude about it.  Think about if it was your mother or sister in the pics/videos, really--think about it.  You'd probably want to throw up.  

Instead of thinking about it as "Boys will be boys", it might help you to know that many women enjoy porn too.  I think it's human nature to be interested in sex and that's not a bad a thing. 

And to Quirk, I'm sure you've figured out that a pornography addiction (or any addiction for that matter), has absolutely nothing to do with you or what you are or aren't doing!

I was thinking the same thing, lol.

I think Luke summed it up for me. Pornography can, in some ways, enhance a couple's sex life if approached with maturity in the right manner, for a single person it's just a means to an end.

I'm sure there is such a thing as 'porn addiction' but I believe that is something the person has to address within themselves and therefore may need to seek help for it as there may be other factors involved.

Another point is that these women get paid well for being porn stars. I'm sure if they didn't want to do it they wouldn't. There are women that say; 'I went into porn so I could get into college' or something like that but they still made a choice to get involved.

Let's make the differentiation clear about 'gonzo porn' and vomiting. Gonzo porn is merely the style of the film:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzo_pornography

There may be extreme versions of gonzo pornography out there. I have never watched a person vomit while having sex and don't particularly consider that entertainment - it's pretty sick . . . literally, lol.

Max Hardcore has been taken to court because he portrays women over the age of 18 to look like girls under the age of consent. I don't agree with that because, in my eyes, if a person is fantasing that a girl is younger than she is then surely the desire for a girl under the age of consent is evident.

Thankfully it wasn't sex with a Muppet  :o  ;)

If it WERE with this Muppet, it might induce vomiting on my part, because I love the Muppets...I just don't LOVE the Muppets.  ;) ;D

And to Quirk, I'm sure you've figured out that a pornography addiction (or any addiction for that matter), has absolutely nothing to do with you or what you are or aren't doing! 


Which is why there is now porn directed towards women directed and produced by women.  Some of it is just as hardcore as anything a guy can come up with.

Hmmm, I see what you're saying and I half agree. I guess all I'm wondering is how does it necesarilly go right from casually thinking about sex or the opposite gender (which is totally normal) to watching porn/seeing naked women? I guess it's just that I've always done the former without wanting to do the latter. ;)

I know I'm probably outnumbered on that though, especially considering I'm a straight guy.

Yeah, I think stuff like modeling is okay. Even sexy pictures are fine, but it's like why do something that's TOTALLY for the purpose of tons of people looking at it sexually? I would ask any of the women who do that, how can you not feel degraded?

From what I've heard that guy is a complete jerk on and off camera.  He does it for shock value he has no interest in any sort of sexual fantasy.  You're right though seeing some ugly jerk puking really doesn't do it for most people.

Some of it is just as hardcore as anything a guy can come up with.

Define "artistic" nudity.  To someone who's done hardcore porn artistic nudity may simply be downgrading an image to mainstream Penthouse Magazine.

Also I had a friend back in Junior High who's mother was a stripper and did some photos.  It didn't bother my friend one bit.  In fact she was quite proud that her Mom was attractive.

If you doubt Rule 34, turn SafeSearch off and do a Google Image Search on "muppet" and "sex".  Last week's proof was a guy who had sex with cars (yes, "sex" as in "inserted his penis into the exhaust pipe of", and "cars" as in "automobiles") in the 'blogs last week.

The best Rule 34 I've ever seen was a guy whose fetish was dragons (as in "fire-breathing reptilian mythical things") having sex with cars (as previously defined), and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the same guy who made the rounds last week.

My one and only trip to a straight strip club was on the night of my first husband and I's wedding reception.  His friends came down from Pittsburgh to the wedding reception (I lived in a very rural area) about an hour from there.  We had already been married about 3 months by then (we had eloped.)  Anyways, his friends wanted to give him a bachelor party and I had heard about their tradition for those.  That was not gonna happen if I'm around.  ;D  So I went along with them.  I watched the Pirates baseball game on a t.v. at the bar while they guys all ogled the dancing ladies.  I watched the game at least until another girl started dancing on the bar (blocking my view!.)  ;D  I don't recall if it was a full nudie bar or not, I'm guessing not.  I really didn't look around too much.  ;D  Although I was impressed when they flipped upside down on the pole. 

What's it called "Monterey Jacks"?
:P

Cheesy... but funny :)

About 10+ years ago in Brattleboro, VT, one of the local theatres burnt down. They had an article in the local paper where people told their memories of the theatre. The one that stuck out in my mind (and cracked me up when I read it) was about the projectionist when they were showing porn flicks. He created a loop in the film so it would just play over and over and over again. He went outside while this maybe a 5-10 minute segment was being played (that went on for probably about a half hour or so) and this one old guy came out and the projectionist heard him saying, "Man, that guy has a lot of stamina." I guess the guy didn't realize that he was watching the same scene over and over again.  :D ;D ;D ;D

they do that with most porn movies...you can tell....the same exact "motions" are shown over and over again. Lame.

That's what makes the story so funny because the guy didn't realize that it was the same "motions" being shown over and over again.

Pornography is fantasy. And not all porn is equal but as long as everyone involved is of age and willing then is only a matter of taste,isn't it?
I might not like money shots,atm or dp but i sure can find porn that works for me, something's out there for everyone. I don't see much difference between looking at sexy photos,reading erotica or watching porn movies, in my opinion the reason we do it is the same…we want to fantasize,to relish in these intense sexual scenarios that we can choose to bring into our own sex life or not. So i don't think pornography is wrong at all as it can help us get in tune with what we like sexually and allows us to keep up the hotness during our dry spells :P

And there's something to be said about the role of women in porn because as much as it true that a lot of porn treats women as toys it's also true that this is one of the only industries where women are really on top. And if there's such a big market for the violence against women porn i believe that has more to do with the way both genders feel so inadequate when it comes to sex,porn is not the reason behind it but a consequence of how our society went from women who were treated like properties to women who destroy men's confidence just because they can.

My only worry when it comes to porn is that by watching some of the porn that exists young people can mix up the real thing with what they see on screen but i feel that before you start your sex life that always happens anyway. The other thing is the addiction,too much of anything can harm you so if you're the type of person who gets addicted easily porn can be problematic,if you only engage in the fantasy world instead of being close to the people around you. But that's also true for everything else we do with our time.

PORN LOVERS UNITE!!!  ;)

What kind of respectable person could really call themselves a "porn lover"?

Really, I'm not being smart or anything, I'm seriously just curious as to why. How could anyone possibly get enjoyment out of something that (1) tends to destroy or at least be harmful to personal relationships; and (2) degrades women in general by treating them as objects? And if the girls actually LIKE doing it, then they're equally trashy as the fans and I feel sorry for them. By doing it and being okay with (or even encouraging) it, they're just enabling perverts to keep consuming that, which is why there's a whole huge industry for it in the first place.

Like I said before, just because maybe it "doesn't hurt" some people, doesn't make it GOOD either.

Name ONE positive influence it has.

First of all not all porn is degrading to women that is so passe  Have you seen how much S&M stuff is out there where the dominatrix (female) is beating the crap out of a man.  What about gay porn, not exactly geared towards degrading women.  As for your insistence that the girls don't like doing it.  A big part of porn is computer generated, therefore the poor computer is being degraded.  I like how you throw everyone from a 19 year old who's read a playboy magazine or two and some guy spending 8 hours a day in an adult book store together.

I'm not respectable now? Watch your mouth,boy >:(
I've explained why porn is not the monster you paint it to be and for someone who claims never to have watched it you sure have a lot of inputs,porn is people having sex nothing more nothing less if you have a problem with watching it...then don't but from your posts i get your biggest problem is with sex itself,again don't want to do it? Don't! Just don't try to sell your living in a bubble mentality to the rest of us. Your vision of what's respectable and morally right is laughable to me ::)

What kind of respectable person could really call themselves a "porn lover"?

Me. I love porn, and I won't deny it. When I come to California, I make it a habit to hit the porn shops with my male friend, MY SISTER, her gay friend, and if he's around, my husband. We all love porn, and I hate to break it to you, but we're all respectable, too.

BTW, your assumption is pretty rude.

Name ONE positive influence it has.

Let's see, it taught me a lot of things. It taught my husband a lot of things. When you incorporate those things into an already loving marriage, you get a very happy and very positive marriage.

Prohibitionists made cogent cases against alcohol causing moral depravity, social decay, and insult upon public health.  
However, used by adults in moderation, porn, like alcohol is not harmful.

Pornography can and does hurt the following:
Minors who view it or participate in it.
Adults who are coerced into participating in it or viewing it.
Adults who participate in it out of desperation for money or drugs.
Adults who participate in it because their cognitive or psychiatric condition negates ability to fully consent.  
Men (and it's mostly men) who get addicted to viewing it so that it intrudes the other things in their lives.

If your social or religious values instruct you not to view or participate in pornography, but you want to anyway, then you have some choices to make.  Provided you're of the age of majority and of sound mind, you make your decisions out of free will.  Some of them you may regret.

Many governments--including the U.S. up until the late 1960s--determine pornography is unhealthy for the populace and prohibits it to some degree.  Some ban everything from nudies to hardcore, others just hardcore, but that does not stop there being a market for it.  There was money to be made in French postcards and blue movies 100+ years ago.  I've seen pornographic photographs from 1855!  

I suppose if you laid down a Draconian prohibition of porn, you could make a big dent in the market, but it's never going to go away.  How long has it been since prostitution's been illegal in New York City?  How long has it been since there's been no prostitution in New York City?  That's how I think of it.

As for pornography involving rape, assault, coercion, blackmail, extortion, homicide, kidnapping, unwilling restraint, or involvment of minors: These acts caught on camera all involve behavior already encoded as unlawful or criminal.  

Some women and men who are in the biz seem of sound mind and claim to enjoy what they do.  Who are we in a free society to say, "No you don't"?  They make their money and the fans get their jollies.  I do agree a lot of the messages in porn are angry, misogynistic, juvenile, mean-spirited, and vacuous, but if we punish media for being any of those things, Comedy Central goes off the air tonight!

You've never watched good lesbian porn, have you? ;D

Thank you for the educated post Maxwell, karma to you.

You've never watched good lesbian porn, have you? ;D

Oh, I've seen just about everything 'cept for a few things I find too repulsive...at risk of violating the rules, I won't list my "won't watch list" here!

If it's gonna be lesbian porn, I like it to be real lesbian porn, not just "girl-on-girl."

Oh yeah, I know what you're getting at re: repulsive. In my previous post, I was referring to the more tamer porn. I just find it highly offensive though that some people are narrow minded enough to think that ALL porn is bad and that ALL people who watch it or love it are not respectable.

Turns out many of those who claim to hate it the most are some of porn's most avid fans!

There was one anti-porn crusader who took out her laptop on FOX and claimed she could find hardcore CP in under five minutes.

You and I might not know where to begin...

But she knows...it's her job to know!

Marty, I believe you have said that you're a virgin, correct?  I think Thereshegoes is right when she says you might have issues with sex in general.
SEX IS AWESOME!  Having sex is awesome!  Watching sex is awesome.

I have issues and hang-ups on the subject myself.  A team of Clydesdales couldn't drag me to see the "Sex and the City" movie (a show I personally thought was more denigrating to women than hardcore porn) but I'm not going to finger-wag others if they disagree and enjoy it.

How is telling him that sex is awesome finger-wagging?  I meant it more as a wink-wink kinda thing.
He wants to know how respectable people can love porn - what the hell is that?  I mentioned his virginity because it's (seemingly) a self-imposed abstinence and gives some insight into his point of view.  On a different thread both of you were bashing tattoos and I didn't give you the wagging finger of self-righteousness.

I love that my wife loves porn.  I too love porn.

I have to defend Jesse,TO A POINT. I think ONE of the reasons why he is so against it is because he saw how damaging it was to me and my relationship. Jesse has been by my side as a friend throughout this whole ordeal and he knows the effects it has on someone who is with a man who is totally addicted to it. I think that is why he is so adamant about being against it. I will say, however, that does not mean that ALL people who are into porn are pigs. A lot of people know how to say, "ok, I had my fun...but I will never let it take over my life, family, responsibilities, etc." It's very sad and pathetic when you have someone who is married with a child and responsibilities...but instead they choose to run up cable bills, phone bills, buying porn, etc.. to the point that they go in debt all because of it. That is where I totally draw the line.

I do agree with some though that make the point that sex is fun and good..and I believe if it is something that both people are okay with..then so be it. It becomes bad when one person sneaks to do it and is obsessed with it, etc. I also agree that it is kind of difficult to have opinions on things regarding to sex...whenever one has not had any sexual experiences yet. Things DO change once that actually happens. ;)

Now that you mention it his post did reek of virgin knowledge or lack of.  I sense he may have issues with sex in general, however he doesn't have to take it out on us.

I get what you're saying and I'm fine with McFly not liking the pr0n, especially if he knew what had happened in your situation. I just can't get over the fact that he put his views in such terms. Me loving porn doesn't make me any less respectable than he is. I think that one sentence is what is raising my hackles so much. It sounded so........smug and rude.

I agree....that was not the best way of putting it.

Let me first apologize for how I came across earlier, because I know how that probably sounds harsh on the receiving end of it. I didn't mean to lump a casual Playboy reader or something (who lives just as respectable of a life as anyone) in with some Al Bundy-type pigs. That was overboard, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

Even though it was never something I wanted to look at and I always thought it was kinda trashy (not the people per se, but porn itself), I'll admit for personal reasons I despise it even more nowadays. I guess I also hate the idea that just because I'm a younger guy that society kinda expects me to be into that.

My own philosophy generally is that you have a right to do whatever you want, so long as you're not hurting anyone or breaking the law (even if other people find it sickening or unpopular). And I also think everything affects each person differently. It might not make everyone pigs, but it doesn't contribute anything good either. You can be sexual without that stuff IMO.

P.S. On a lighter note....don't get me wrong I've always really liked girls since I was a kid, so it's not like I'm asexual or anything lol. Far from it. ;) I suppose I've always CASUALLY thought about this stuff, just more on an "I'd love to have them as a girlfriend" level, as opposed to "oh they're so hot, I wanna" (fill in the rest of that sentence with something pervy).

what some of the others are trying to say though Jesse is....not really regarding porn but sex in general, it is difficult to say what you would or wouldn't do beings that you have never experienced things in a sexual manner. Believe me...before I had sex, I had different standards and stuff (I won't do this, I won't do that, etc)....but honestly...there's probably not much that I haven't tried or done. When you are actually IN a situation like that, things DO change. You become open to different things that you may have thought that you would have never done before. You can't say that you wouldn't EVER do certain things...because you really don't know that..ya know?

And I indeed I don't used the word "addictive" lightly.  Pornography is a bona-fide addiction as is gambling, booze, cigarettes, and opiates!

There is still stigma around porn, even though most of us look at it at sometime or another or both.  That is why a lot of guys who get hit with the addiction feel helpless because they believe they will be sexually ridiculed.  Other guys have a similar syndrom alcoholics-in-denial do:  "I just like it.  It's not a problem, I can quit whenever I want, I just don't want to."  

But, I mean, to suggest a person has not had sexual experiences is not to deny his right to an opinion.  Suppose somebody gets interested in Tibet, so they dowload pictures of Tibet, read books about Tibet, cook Tibetan food, study Tibetan philosophy and spirituality, and shop for Tibetan clothes.  They've never been to Tibet even though they might be experts on every facet of Tibetan life...and still never have been to Tibet.

Do you know, do you know, do you know?

Just for a final bit here...I don't mind if people watch porn behind closed doors if that's what they like. I may not agree with or approve of it, but in a free society it's their choice and I respect that. That wasn't the point of contention, and again I totally apologize if I came off like a jerk before.

What I was referring to was that "Porn lovers unite" comment. I have no problem with people liking it (within reason), but something about it being glorified or bragged about kinda rubs me wrong.

I mean, the porn industry exploded when you could view porn in a place not full of other guys who like to view porn!: home video media and later the Internet! It was different in the days off phonesex.  On 'net, you don't know who you're really talking to, put  he might look a lot like you!
:o

it's not really your place to approve or disapprove of it. somebody else wants to say "porn lovers unite" that's their business. so what if it rubs you wrong? a lot of things rub me wrong, if it's somebody else making a decision about their personal life that doesn't harm other people i keep it to myself. if i may, you really sound kinda puritanical, like you're trying to control people's opinions. that aint cool. i dont wanna feel the need to do certain things "behind closed doors" because it rubs you the wrong way. bag that, i'm going to live my life the way i want to.

I wanna" (fill in the rest of that sentence with something pervy).

I suppose it's up to what side of the door you're on!

The whole controversy of whether or not to censor the Internet in public libraries left me asking,
"People are looking at porn in public libraries?!?  Ewwwww!  Is that an inkstamp or are you just happy to see me?

"No, this is a major civil rights issue, you see...."
"But people are dowloading pornography in public libararies!  WTF?"

i actually think downloading smut in public libraries is pretty creepy too. folks gotta have self-respect, plus, there are kids there.

...if rubbing you is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

Sorry, that song was just on the radio :D 

Porn shouldn't be public, that's why they're stored in shady nondescript little porn huts along the railroad tracks.
