It is not 'either/or' no matter what any well-meaning but misinformed Liberal will tell you.
Porn is not for everyone.
Porn is objectification.
Porn is not illegal (most of it, anyway).
Porn is frequently more of a problem than an asset.
What maters to each of us is how porn makes us feel and how it makes our partner feel. Replace "porn" with any other issue, and the discussion should spin on respecting our partner's wishes to not feel cheap, objectified, dirty. But mention porn and we Liberals feel like we suddenly have to defend all or nothing, just so we don't sound like some Right-wing moron. Well, neither one of us should feel awful about intimacy, we should be made to feel loved and respected if we are to share ourselves. Please keep that in mind before some of you go off on a rant about porn.
