This is the entire point of this discussion.  I don't want "we" deciding
what is appropriate for me.  *I* want to do it MYSELF!

I don't like porn per-se, but if my husband wants to read it, or the old
lady up the street likes it, so what?  There have been *NO* conclusive
studies that porn is harmful to the general population.

Rape and sexual assault existed before porn, and will continue to exist
after porn if it is banned.  The way to stop these crimes is education of
society and elevation  of the status of women from less than subordinate to
males. Why not work on these things rather than waste your energy challenging
our right to choose for ourselves?
