Alyssa Milano was doing vampire porn long before Twilight was a bad idea in a shitty writer's head NoOneMan Nov 2013 #24

best definition i heard is, what i like is erotica what you like is porn loli phabay Nov 2013 #5

And what THEY like is dirty disgusting filth eridani Nov 2013 #13

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

we need an organisation to rate it, i suggest PETA loli phabay Nov 2013 #8

... pipoman Nov 2013 #11

So yeah, a Judge decides. Kurska Nov 2013 #12

A little group of judges actually.. pipoman Nov 2013 #15

A small group of elite individuals deciding what is legal artistic expression Kurska Nov 2013 #23

Thank you DonCoquixote Nov 2013 #30

Exactly right Kurska Nov 2013 #36

Who is the idiot who has you believing there is going to be a porn ban? pipoman Nov 2013 #58

Trying to figure out what you are on about? pipoman Nov 2013 #56

My lord, to see people talk of censoring "simulated victimization". Kurska Nov 2013 #69

So in other words, nothing... pipoman Nov 2013 #73

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

nah, i think its not even that, more humerous at his expense. loli phabay Nov 2013 #38

rofl loli phabay Nov 2013 #42

Ok I have one for you. Is this Fantasy Porn or Gun Porn? Katashi_itto Nov 2013 #66

The debate needs to start at an even more fundamental definition: is porn, prima facia, good . . . . Stinky The Clown Nov 2013 #18

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

The Supreme Court said "I know it when I see it," which is a refreshingly honest admission. Bucky Nov 2013 #48
