    @ New Deal Democrat

    Porn offends your moral sensibilities. The answer to that is obvious: you don't have to consume it. But the poorly reasoned diatribes are really rather ridiculous, and just a thinly veiled attempt to try to assert the superiority of your own moral sense over that of others by force of law. It's authoritarianism, whether you admit it or not.

    What a cliche. Where did I say that porn offends my moral sensibilities? Try reading what I write instead of what you want to read into it that isn't there.

    I am more discriminating than that. There are different types of porn.

    I have a short story where the older female character seduces a young fella like you.

    You are about 18, aren't you?
