<< Again you are misrepresenting what I said. I did not say that pornography had nothing to do with sex. That would be ridiculous, and I invite anyone to check back through what I've posted to acertain that that was not what I said. What I said was that they are seperate but connected. <<
Well yeah, you did. You repeatedly asserted that pornography and sex were not the same thing. If you meant "the ACT of sex", you never said so. I'm glad to see you've come 'round.
A photpgraph of the Eiffel Tower is not the Eiffel
Tower. But they are related objects. Got it?<<
Of course I do. That was exactly the kind of analogy I was using in my last post.
Just as I can go to a website now and read a
pornographic story, but that isn't having sex.<<
Well obviously, but that was never the subject of our debate. I never stated anywhere to you that the topic was about 'having' sex, or said that fans who read slash or porn are having sex, somehow, by the act of reading it. My point was, as always, that porn is about sex, and to some, sex is about porn. Your latest paragraph represents a change of subject.

Yes, I did. Thank you.

A standard phrasing, used by most people who speak English-"Having Sex".
I'm glad to see you've come 'round.
Oh, I have not come 'round. As you very well know. You have admitted that what I said was true, and that you knew all along what I was saying. What's more I think it was only my insistence on repeatedly replying and referring back to the actual wording of my/our posts that forced you to admit that.
Of course I do. That was exactly the kind of analogy I was using in my last post.
No, er it isn't. In fact your previosu assertation that I had to 'learn that others do not draw the line in the same place you do' indicates explictly that you knew I was using the word 'sex' to mean 'the act of sex', as you recognise the two seperate items between which lines could be drawn yourself.

Yes it was. Someone talked of porn addiction. You inferred from this 'Sex addication' and when someone else pointed out that sex and porn are not the same thing, you sneered. I attempted to make matters clearer, and then you ran in circles whilst I said the same thing over and over again until you finally agreed with me.
The initital point. That You confused sex and pornographya nd initially argued that they were the same thing, still stands.
and to some, sex is about porn.
Hmmm.
Your latest paragraph represents a change of subject.
No. It. Does. Not.
As I think the above word prove.
