lol - I don't know if that's better. I mean thinking about bashing the back
end of a baby's head with one's boot heel is certainly WORSE than doing it.
but I mean. I think violent thoughts. and then I feel bad about them most of
the time. I don't know. these REALLY are fascinating questions and I feel
like I should have less rigid answers, but the moment another human comes
into harm I just don't get the attraction.

 

I think someone who fantasizes about nonconsensual sex. is problematic.
their horrifying potential energy could turn kinetic??  And yeah those
studies I linked that show the wider a dissemination of porn does end up
showing a decrease in violent sexual crimes. but maybe that day isn't over.
maybe there's a surge coming to "balance the ledger" to use the Rev from
AtD. 

 

That study, just feels wrong, you know. from a digestive area, it just
doesn't sit well. (With me, obviously)

 

This may have a lot to do with the fact I saw the accused at a very young
age and still can't sit through that scene without getting very very upset.
Rape is almost a crime worse than 1st degree murder for me. (ALMOST)

 

Maybe I have serious issues myself?!?!  LOL.

There are plenty of men and women who enjoy the _fantasy_ of
nonconsensuality... while acknowledging that the reality of such a thing is
horriffic. 

Yes, there's some really creepy stuff on this series o' tubes, but better
somebody watch a video and jerk off than do it for real, eh?

I'm sure there could be but here's where I divert from being flexible. I
mean if that's what's giving you the urge to masturbate or get off. then I
think you have some issues. all kinds of issues. lol

Even trickier, how about truly sadomasochistic rape porn... in which all
characters are animated and no one was ever actually hurt?

All kinds of issues here.

But I am certainly not revolted by porn, I'm a human. watching sex is
certainly a turn on, but I do have a habit of feeling bad for the ladies.

 

 

What about gay porn? There are no ladies. Who is being exploited and
victimized there?
