And if that rape is simulated or that torture consensual. Kurska Nov 2013 #14

Now this is getting more difficult eridani Nov 2013 #43

My assumption is that people generally use violent pornography and fantasy as a substitute. Kurska Nov 2013 #44

There isn't really any definitive research here eridani Nov 2013 #45

True, but the lack of correlation can be indicative of no causation. Kurska Nov 2013 #47

Oh it is simple Kurska Nov 2013 #7

I define porn as explicit sex, regardless of the orientation of the people involved. madinmaryland Nov 2013 #16

Okay. That's your definition, but most people would consider simulated sex as porn Yavin4 Nov 2013 #28

That's erotica. nt madinmaryland Nov 2013 #31

Which is more pornographic about this picture... madinmaryland Nov 2013 #34

i would not call it porn myself. loli phabay Nov 2013 #35

It's definitely gun porn. madinmaryland Nov 2013 #37

But what is porn? You have to define it first. madinmaryland Nov 2013 #32

That movie looks hot NoOneMan Nov 2013 #19

Really? Even the Roman Empire knew how to define it. Are we going to re-examine other definitions? WinkyDink Nov 2013 #21

The Roman Empire was right about everything NoOneMan Nov 2013 #26

It means 'pictures of prostitutes.' dimbear Nov 2013 #46
