We don’t live in the era pf Lady’s Chatterlys Lover where sexuality was hidden and which he celebrated. Were DH Lawrence alive now, I think he would be horrified by the way capitalism has commodified sexuality in a way it couldn’t be when it was reserved solely for the private sphere. And before you ask, I regard child porn as one of the hidden externalities of capitalism that people do not wish to talk about, although it’s not purely restricted to it. | |

Like you did to me - as I’m still puzzled exactly why you think I was ‘ranting’ where I was merely making my concerns about the lack of understanding about the issues the OP displays by his question. I am concerned about harms that porn entails, particularly in today’s world where online child porn gangs are active. It’s not merely my concern, I read a recent article in the Daily Mail which reported a site dealing with such harms had 40,000 worried parents enquiring. | |

| Jul 17, 2019 at 3:10 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | @armand: It’s demonstrating the harms that pornographers can do and that understanding ought to be part of an informed question on pornography. The philosophical question here is whether intent matters - and it does - and that is worth a ‘rant’ - whether you think so or not. | |
| Jul 11, 2019 at 2:59 | comment | added | armand | As much as i share your concerns about children (though i am afraid they are out of scope here), this is just a political rant without philosophical content | |
