Not at all. While it may require some effort to demonstrate what ARE our P&I or other rights retained under the laws of the States that Ratified it is easy to determine what ARE NOT these: anything illegal among any of the several States when they Ratified the language.
As for porn not being speech, it was not considered speech when the 1st was Ratified as well.
There was a special on the A&E channel a while back called “Secrets of Playboy”.
When I saw it advertised I figured it was just gonna be a bunch of T&A but it wasn’t.
Many revealing interviews about Hefner and guests at the mansion and how they drugged and abused not only bunnys but Hefner would send hid toadies out to recruit women right off the street.
Things that went on were way worse than I ever imagined.
That’s based means you were spitting facts, not that I disagreed with you.

As I remember, Larry Flynt did most of the ‘revealing’.
Oh, sorry.
As one who inflicts typos on the world I read that as if you had too. Sorry.
This writer is not too bright, apparently, and uses words without understanding their meaning. Does he really mean Flynt is the second to last pornographer? Makes no sense.
This article makes me think there is some revelation about Biden and an undrraged family member about to surface and the media is trying soften the impact. Why else would the left consider this article “newsworthy”?
I am back and I did a couple bids for running a brothel and my luck, now it's decriminalized
Larry Flynt was a pig. Case closed, end of argument end of story.
He was the “dirty” Hugh Hefner.
Both of the magazines were the first “soft porn,” but not the last and neither Flynt nor Hefner were ever “revered.”
Yes, the worst kind of pervert would revere Flynt!
I regret to say that as a teenager, I regularly read all three magazines, Playboy, Hustler, and Penthouse.
I outgrew all three (along with MAD magazine) but out of all of these three, Penthouse was probably the classiest. I especially like the Forum section of Penthouse which was letters from readers, if I recall. Wild stuff.
What, you mean Flynt earned his horrible reputation?
neither is burning a flag... yet here we are
I watched a couple shows like that on YT.
Several of the women said that there was a whole system of “secondary Hefners,” lounge-lizard type guys who set up their own Playboy-clone operations from the supply of second-level girls who were either rejected by Playboy as not quite up to their standards, or else they were used for one or two pictures but had no hope of being Playmate of the Month or anything like that.
He had a sort of caste system operating, and the girls were farmed out to Hollywood big shots and other wealthy men in Los Angeles and beyond. It was total sleeze, gussied and tarted up to look like a fun, sophisticated lifestyle. Really comes as no surprise at all to anyone who knows how the world works.
Curious...
Porn is protected as free speech, according to SCOTUS. SCOTUS has also said that virtually anything that affects commerce can be regulated. Since porn is a multi-billion dollar industry, and would not exist but for the money involved, why can’t porn be regulated as commerce?
“Based on his writing acumen, I am guessing he is about 12.”
Isn’t that the truth? What a pile of garbage. I felt like I was watching one of those movies that never seems to get going and you keep thinking to yourself “This HAS to get better and make some sense. I’ll tough it out.” Then the end credits roll and you are left thinking “That’s 90 minutes I’ll never get back.”
Democrats.
He’s dead, Jim.
