WHO KNEW? But apparently I’ve been waxing libertine lately.

A commenter has already answered Ron Coleman’s problems with my statement that “I would venture that the real problem isn’t sex as such, but the puerile way it’s treated. I think actual porn is more honest and healthy than the pop-culture treatment of the subject.” Ron’s commenters observed:

I thought he was saying that “real porn” is probably less damaging than the kind of crap that Brittany, Madonna, gangsta rappers, etc. flout to our young folk as “sexuality”.

Look at soap operas, primetime shows like Desperate Housewives, most movies, etc., and the sex isn’t about sex — it’s about manipulation, domination, or display. In porn, people actually act like they’re doing it for fun. I think that’s better. And, anyway, we’ve already established that porn is good for America. And personally, I love America!

UPDATE: Another virtue of porn is demonstrated in this comment from Ace’s place, where they’re, um, experts.
