And do you not think that, absent a PUBLIC display to cry about, the same moralists will not eventually invade YOUR home and pass judgement on YOUR acts? It's already happening ...

"Anything goes" covers a lot of territory ... I'm sure there are religious, moral, civil and criminal standards-bearers who would LOVE to argue that point.

Yeah, that's a noble goal and all, but I can't exactly whip something genuine and romantic out of thin air at 1AM. I can, however, point my web browser to my top adult sites

I'm wondering if any exist. Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people watching porn or performing in it. It's just that most of it seems repetitive to me.
I would venture to say that what most guys use porn for is pretty repetitive

Sifu, if I read your premise and stance accurately, we should indulge in these excesses (porn) to allay intrusion into our bedrooms and households, is that right? That may required another thread, relative to where we draw the line in the excesses we all should allow others to know we engage in. I know I'm better off if my personal interests go into enriching a relationship vs. watching sexual acrobats I could never mimic, for which I could not find comparison in my surround, and for which the rest of the story remains unwritten.

Re: 'anything goes:' this is a relative term which consenting people agree to engage in, opting in or out as they desire. There is certainly so much more that a reprobate mind (religious, moral, civil and criminal standard bearers, oxymorons if ever I heard..."I'll know it when I see it") can get out of such commentary, but I think that would reflect more on those who are questioning than those otherwise so engaged. I look at those who have historically run similar investigations in the past, and what they had really been looking for. It's a fine edge to balance upon, but I would keep myself from consideration with discretion. I also think you would agree that heinous acts typically out themselves due to bawdy arrogance or lack of insight. But there again, perhaps the word 'heinous' should be cautiously tendered, in consideration of the idea someone would ask to define this term.

@ Hurri, I guess in the long-term, you get what you pay for.

This thread is hilarious. I've never seen so much fibbing. Unless you are some old fart with ED and the sex drive of a bald eagle, you lying! Not including "fodders" at the local church. They aren't fooling anyone either.

Not quite right. We should - or more accurately, CAN - indulge in these ACTS (not necessarily excesses) because we are free to do so, whether out in in public or in our homes.

That's the sole intent of my earlier comment.

Well, just so you understand my POV: I like the idea that, absent harming anyone, ANY act between consenting adults is OK. I don't believe in calling any such acts excessive, nor do I believe that anyone has the right to dictate what others may or may not do.

I can easily surmise from your choice of words that you're against one thing and for another: that's fine, AS LONG AS you don't try stopping ME from doing what I choose to do.

Totally agree.

It IS all about the definitions, isn't it? I think that's why the legal and political professions do so well - it's all open to subjective interpretation.

Ideally we would come up with terms that do not contain emotional content, but I think that's a fool's dream.

Bald eagles become sexually mature at 4-5 years of age; they mate for life unless their mate dies; they build the largest nests of any known bird; they share child-raising responsibilities equally with their mate; they are capable of mating throughout their life; they are superb flyers, swimmers and fighters, and they sit at the top of the food chain.

I've watched it a few times but it gets old in a hurry for me. I just don't see the appeal of watching it all the time.
