'Conviction (1)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I defer to Miss Manners...but I think a late thank you is better than no thank you at all, so I'll still send them. Honestly, part of it is that I didn't want to write them all myself, and Drew has been out of town most of the last six months. Not an excuse, but an explanation. Anyway, will soon be a non-issue since I plan to take care of it this week.
I have nothing to add about porn. I tend to be pro-porn but anti-industry, as many of you seem to be.
I'm sorry if I took a fun conversation and made it serious unnecessarily.
I think this is Buffista Apology #24. (also, no. not imho, anyways)
I, for one, have throroughly enjoyed following along. Work was way to busy yesterday for me to chime in, but I have to agree with the pr0n-yay, industry-no. I'm at work or I'd link to one of my favorite tumblrs, sex is not the enemy. Gorgeous pictures, explicit and not, but what comes through is the fact that all these people are there willingly and enjoying the hell out of themselves. It's beautiful.
I think what I need, though, is a clear line between erotica and pr0n. What makes the difference? It's something I've never really thought about before and I'm curious to hear what others have to say. Is there a legal definition? Is it, again, in the eye of the beholder? Does it have to do with consent issues?
erotica and pr0n.
Chicken and feathers. Something.
I always figure erotica = that which is classy enough for my tastes.
It seems like erotica charges more for internet access than porn.
I've heard.
is a clear line between erotica and pr0n
This may be Buffista conversation #138.
Maybe pr0n is just to get you horny/help you get off, and while erotica can do that too, it appeals to other parts of one's brain as well?
Or maybe erotica is more artsy-fartsy....
Actually, isn't the legal definition of pornography "an appeal to prurient interest" that lacks any other redeeming feature?
eta: Or is that the definition of obscenity rather than pornography?
My (flippant) bitch about het porn is that nobody seems to really be enjoying the sex. It's not an aerobics video, people!
My favorite gay video has two guys who, if they're not together, definitely enjoy each other. They're smiling at each other and making eye contact. Plus one guy has his socks on the whole time, which is weirdly appealing.
