Thanks to Pooks for pointing out this lovely journal. http://www.livejournal.com/community/_anti_porn/
It's a little confusing. At first I thought they were being ironic. And then I thought they just wanted a place to discuss their fandoms and interests without sex being involved, which is boring, but ok if you want to. But then I realized that it's full of uptight Christian-y types and young girls who are either unawakened lesbians or who had some horrible sexual experience at some point and now feel ashamed of any "perverted" thought.
Because, if you don't believe in pre-marital sex, that's your business. If you think pornography is degrading, yeah, it mostly is. But to describe *yourself* as "ASEXUAL" is incredibly problematic. Not to mention that not a single one of them can spell masturbation correctly. Now, I'm not going to write in their journal because that is their space, and such an intrusion would be incredibly rude, but I am going to feel very, very sorry for them. And I am going to keep writing porn, and try not to feel *too* angry that the little prigs are calling me and people like me (i.e. normal people) "perverted" as though we should feel ashamed and that that sort of attitude can lead to some severe restrictions on human freedoms as history has shown us. No, I am trying very hard not to get that angry.
However, I think they have inspired a masturbation fic in my head. Oh yes, yes they have.
