Watch the ending scene of "La Dolce Vita"(the orgy/beach roll credits). That's how I felt.

I think she means erotica through text.

Which is still porn, however elegantly you want to name it.
The Beauty Trilogy by A. N. Roquelaure (aka Anne Rice) is the sort of thing I was referring to.

In fact, pornography doesn't normalize these aspects of society because they are normal. They are real. If pornography ended tonight, there would still be racism tomorrow. There would still be objectification next week. There would still be women who like to get tied up and spanked into next year.

True. And not to forget that most consumers don't expect or even want people to behave in porn. It's like I playing violent video games doesn't want me to try out the things in real life.

When all you did was make it more prominent.

But I still don't like that you post so many pictures of woman that have been in porn. (I don't want to dignify them by calling them actresses) They can do what they like, but are they people to look up to? I don't think so.

What's with that closing obsession?

Anyway, I'd like to raise a question. Does anyone of you - despite having seen porn on at least one occasion - wonder at times, whether sex is real or just made up? I don't mean now or when you're in your day, but like when you're tired, but can't find sleep for whatever reason and your mind starts to wander. I know that's how solipsistic conspiracy theories arise. Don't get me wrong. I'm convinced it's not made up. I just wanted to know if there are time when you wonder about it and if you know weird wondering about that feels.

It's acting Sammy. I mean the penetration is real(unless we're talking about soft porn/Cinemax and that steez).

Like I said before that guilty, empty feeling you get after having an orgasm during a porn session is the same gulty, empty feeling you'd get after having an orgasm with someone you don't necessarily care about. Porn just facilitates your natural urges and desires, run through a f!ucked-up filter of cultural norms and taboos and symbols. the cheerleader, the teacher, the mandingo, the geisha, the horny housewife, the adulterous latina...

Depends on the camera angle, I suppose.

I see nothing wrong with pornography. It's a personal choice anyone's free to engage in. We're sexual creatures with sexual urges. Some take it way too far than others. I say as long as it doesn't rule your life, like a smoker who has to light up every 30 minutes, a sexual appetite is healthy whether solo or with a couple.

Now, whether or not its wrong or not, I always thought that should be a personal choice. Deeming it wrong just because a collective or the majority says so, its a surrender of your own opinion and having someone else think for you. It should be based on how you feel about it, shouldn't matter what other people think. It's difficult to filter out outside influence, but the decision should be yours alone, I believe.
