A note on Porn:

After an attempted inculcation in my Women's studies course, the term porn seemed pretty set. Basically, anything that aroused was "porn" and all porn was bad. Sigh, the radical fems will never truly escape their neurotic obsexsion, will they? But lately, I've wondered, if "word engineering" as the fems have done with the term "rape" and sexual assault might not be a fun thing to try. First, I'd like to word engineer cunnilingus to something decent and acceptable like "clingy". But later, I'd like to nail down "porn".

See, porn has a bad rap, as it automatically implies naked, copulating scenes of depravity. But the feminist mantra that porn is bad, has some merit. Especially the part of expectation, whereby the viewer starts to expect real life to conform to porn and therefore base his wants/desires/perversions on his porn viewing. The gateway theory(sponsored by fems, at any rate) is that men are desensitised to soft core porn and seek harder core porn until ulitmately they are mere drones searching for diamond hard smut. The kernel here, that I would like you to take away, is that by excessive viewing, unreasonable expectations are built up on part of the viewer.
