interpretation of 'sex' in our society draws the boundary between sex and pornography in a different place.
Prettily put, but it doesn't alter the fact that they are two different but related things, rather than the *same thing*. >>
We will have to agree to disagree, here. One Libertarian's free love is another fundamentalist Christian's fornication. One fan's erotic fanfic is another fan's porn. Recognize that not everyone agrees to where you lay that boundary. The subject is sex of a graphic nature. Some see it as exciting filmic erotica. Others view it as decadent, filthy porn. Even within legal interpretation, that boundary is always shifting. What the average woman wears to a dance club nowadays would have her thrown in prison or stoned, only a couple of centuries back.
