Pornography

[tinyjo]

Once again, they're talking about Richard Desmonds donation to the Labour Party and I notice that there seems to be an assumption that pornography is a bad thing. Now I am not at all sure about this. I recognize that it can be exploitative but it isn't necessarily. Nor is it necessarily unhealthy - I tend to think of it as an aid to fantisizing for the unimaginative. Its not illegal so why should we not accept this donation as just another one from a business man?

And stuff like Omaha, or Xxxenophile, which pretty much have to be the fruit of the author's fevered imagination and little else (and which is very sex-positive, to boot) is about as immune to counter-argument as anything I can think of.
Of course, this same argument works for much erotic prose fiction. Duh.
