I'm not saying at all that I would support an obscenity prosecution, I am overall saying that they seem to make themselves an easy target if the government is looking for easy targets.

Unfortunately, it is my own personal belief that the government would surely fuck that up and end up with something that is likely far from what I would agree with. It's not wrong of me to say that I just wish the government would make up their mind. I find the whole subject frustrating because what I'd really like to see is a standard that says anything between two consenting adults is OK. That is what I would like our rights to be but that currently is NOT the case, to my dismay.

I TOTALLY agree here. If we had hard written rules I would follow them. I would sleep better at night and would generally feel a lot better. There are things in this industry that I don't agree with, other things I basically find foul. Do I like the fact that everytime someone goes to court over Obscenity it could very well be the end to my business? NO. I do what I do to make a living, and try to do so in a way that does not hurt others. Maybe even helps others. (Believe it or not I get quite a few emails from members asking me questions about toys and fisting and have a bunch from members thanking me for giving them something fun to do in thier marriage) Sure, I sell on shock value. I have found something that works for me. But, it still does not make me feel "better" thinking that someone is out to get me cause I'm the bad guy. We should instead be focusing on the real CRIMES in our industry.
