It's dangerous when people forbid things other consenting adults do just because they don't want to watch them  |
How can I say this? The nature of democracy isn't absolute and unlimited freedom. US law has created a thing called "obscenity" and the courts and such have come down to using a "community standard" test to judge if something is obscene or not.
50 years ago, playboy magazine was all but obscene, and that was the version with just cleavage and legs. Now you get more exposure in a Cosmo magazine. Times change and things move.
Over the last 35 years or so, much of what would have been oscene (including deep throating) has become generally accepted by modern society. As time goes on, more and more becomes acceptable, the public becomes desensitized, and more and more things become mainstream.
A couple of years ago some guy did an interview on CNN wearing a T-shirt that said "GOATSE" on it, they apparently didn't know what it meant.
At some point, when a line is drawn, everything on THIS side of the line by nature will be considered acceptable, and that would help to make our businesses more legitimate. Shit out, cumshots in, watersports out, anal sex in, etc. Draw a line somewhere, and the risk factors in porn would drop dramatically.
Without some sort of judgement one way or the other, we are all flying blind because nobody knows where the line is.
Imagine they take him to court and they find him not guilty. All of a sudden, everything up to and including scat is no longer obscene. Par-tay!
I would hate to be the test case, but the judgement is important.
