Getting elected

I don't like UKIP (UK political party) they tend towards racism and US style republicanism. But I support the right of one of their parliamentary candidates to be open about their past  and current porn work.

The "Porn stars aren't real people are they?" comment was sad. Revealing a contempt and a terrible notion of "real" being those who are mundane, and that we should all be mundane. Someone doesn't have to be exactly like me to be classed as "real". That's an extraordinarily arrogant attitude that's kind of taken as the status quo by political commentators. When infact everyone is real, and it's wonderful if people are extraordinary and diverse.

Re: Getting elected

Have you noticed how no one, especially the government, defines what they mean by "pornography"? It's always assumed to mean something bad and perverse, and yet there is a whole range of porn from the positive and beautiful like the stuff here to the sort of misogynistic stuff that most of us would dislike as much as the do-gooders.

I found by trial and error that I don't really like the traditional male/female with obligatory cumshot porn, not for any moral reasons, just doesn't appeal to me, I don't want to watch men have sex. Even so, it's for adults who should know what they're watching, not kids who don't have any experience of the reality of sexual relationships. Perhaps if our society was honest about sex and the beauty of real erotica, and included positive porn in the education of our children, things might be different.
