94. We don't disagree on that subject.

No one should have a right to watch real porn or to even watch porn they honestly believe is real. For me it's the same thing as prosecuting a person who thinks they are soliciting a minor for sex online when in reality it's a middle aged cop on the other side.

For some reason the law looks at it differently. I support changing that. On the other hand, I'll continue to voice support for the legality of simulated rape as depictions are, or at least should be, covered by the 1st amendment.

Porn Viewing: Do you know what you're talking about? [View all] RainDog Nov 2013 OP

I've noticed something here on DU RandySF Nov 2013 #1

I've watched porn, just not the so-called "simulated rape" porn that's been discussed. last1standing Nov 2013 #5

It is claiming to be real rape gollygee Nov 2013 #85

In the legal sense, that is called "puffery." last1standing Nov 2013 #86

If they write that it is real rape gollygee Nov 2013 #87

Again, not in the legal sense. last1standing Nov 2013 #88

People have to write "barely legal" with very young women gollygee Nov 2013 #90

They don't have to, they do it to keep the law off their backs. last1standing Nov 2013 #92

Well then I'll say it gollygee Nov 2013 #93

We don't disagree on that subject. last1standing Nov 2013 #94

It does, doesn't it? RainDog Nov 2013 #10

I've studied the subject and have worked in the industry. Is that good enough? last1standing Nov 2013 #2

IMHO sex should be interested in love or at least lust otherwise it's like watching jello…. Tikki Nov 2013 #54

Sure! However, "What turns me on is erotic; what turns you on is pornographic." Ellen Willis n/t retread Nov 2013 #113

It was my understanding she coined the phrase RainDog Nov 2013 #119
