I will say nothing more here, other than to point out how interesting it is that, where I was talking about pornography, Leah seems to have conflated pornography with sex.
That is because, dear Shane, everyone's interpretation of 'sex' in our society draws the boundary between sex and pornography in a different place. For many, many people, any mention of sex whatsoever is cause for embarassment, censorship and outrage. For others, the line is at the very far horizon of outrageous. Most of us lie somewhere in the middle. But unless you feel that everyone on Earth draws that line exactly in the same place as you do, it all falls under the same general category for the sake of discussion.

Well, darling, I think there's a big difference between sex and pornography, and I know of a lot of people who object to porn that don't object to sex. But since you obviously consider the two activities one and the same, I wouldn't _dare_ argue with you.
