such as with the local government trying to shut down all the clubs and such. I know that's kind of a common theme anyway, and I don't know for sure if they were transcribing it to the story, just that it does parallel things.

Somewhere in my (closet-buried) collection, I have a collected works of Reed Waller. It may be signed, but I was just happy to get to talk to him on the phone once for a radio interview (I did that kind of thing back then.) Real nice guy, and so talented

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

actually RainDog Nov 2013 #52

I'm pretty vanilla, myself, especially when restraint or pain is involved. last1standing Nov 2013 #69

The closest he's come to porn stardom is grabbing my camera off the nightstand. LeftyMom Nov 2013 #11

If you want to return the pics, feel free. flvegan Nov 2013 #13

She uploaded them to one of those sites. kwassa Nov 2013 #16

Nope, they're ALL MINE. *villain laugh* LeftyMom Nov 2013 #18

So... look for "Veggie Tails?" RainDog Nov 2013 #19

Shhhh... flvegan Nov 2013 #21

actually, "Veggie Pit-Bull Tails" kwassa Nov 2013 #25

Not if you know where to look. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #68

Hmmm...I should have some royalty checks coming then. flvegan Nov 2013 #20

They probably passed my birthday present in the mail. LeftyMom Nov 2013 #23

I didn't know royalty checks could do that! kentauros Nov 2013 #47

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
