3. That's the problem with the poll and why I trashed it

I think the idea was to infer that Democrats are more enlightened-- or something--because this ridiculous poll showed that Democrats enjoy porn more than Republicans. In other words, flame bait

I believe porn could be done in a manner where it's actually erotic, what I see is stupid and boring. And yes I check it out once in a while, Gay (all genders) straight, SMBD, vanilla. It's become worrisome as smaller companies and amateur porn are completely Unregulated. Instead of evolving into a erotic experience, it's degraded into the racist, often violent fetishizism we see today.

All is not lost, they're are small companies trying to change it from the male gaze orientation into a human one, but the battle is huge. Sex is powerful, it hits the brain without assessment. Porn is a powerful medium as well. I wish they'd get it right--on rare occasions, I'll see something very erotic, very sensual, that doesn't seen to be into objectification of only the female body, but a blend of humans. Too bad it's so rare.

I don't have the time or the inclination to wade through a bunch of horrid porn to find something acceptable, so I just watch the the trends and titles-- those themselves are very telling.
