Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.

[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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

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?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

erotica and pr0n.

Chicken and feathers. Something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Chicken and feathers. Something.

I thought that was the difference between "kinky" and "perverted."

And tommyrot, yes, it's the legal definition of obscenity.

Totally. Like there's a fitness instructor off-camera who every few minutes blows a whistle and says, "Change positions!"
