Yes, ironicaly, people's houses open to porn become subject to perverted state and feminist scrutiny, THE VERY AGENTS PROMOTING IT! and they hate religion's and friends' ability to free people from it.

Government is a very DANGEROUS UNWANTED GUEST but pornography is its little helper and denouncer. "It's for the children" motto is the type of thing getting CPS into homes without a warrant, completely illegal and preposterous pretext. They do not care for kids. They want your house and you to be their slaves.

While a naked body may be inviting honorably, it becomes often an unwanted guest who has too much claim to due attention. It also opens a pandora's box of state and widespread social interference in one's life.

For everybody that buys into this fight, the entire argument is revolving around men looking at pictures of women or of heterosexual behavior. That isn't all of it.

Nobody is discussing gay porn, which will NEVER be touched legally or otherwise. It is a huge, but under the radar part of the porn world. You can crusade til the moon turns blue against the heterosexual variety, but as with their bathhouses, the gays will never give up theirs.

When I was a kid, we routinely hung out in the porn theatres and adult bookstores. I'm going to provide a different point of view here. The internet glut of porn is preferable to seedy theatres and bookstores that used to poison neighborhoods and attract vermin.

Now, parents can control porn a lot easier than in my day. For many youngsters, sneaking online looks at the forbidden will be very much like looking at your sordid uncle's Playboys or video collection. Parents can very often control what is seen and viewed in their own homes. They set the limits, as it should be. In my day, my folks had no idea where I was hanging out.

As with abortion, practically speaking, the eradication of pornography has to take place by changing a mind at a time. Men are going to look at women, sometimes in provocative ways. The desire to do that will not be eradicated in this world. Right now, it's controlled very nicely. Where better than in one's own home should sexual appetites be controlled and limited?

Midge Decter, the wife of Norman Podhoretz, once said that men who use pornography are caught in long lasting puberty. Society is not going to make pornography illegal, despite the unique combination of left and right demanding it to do so. (The feminists hate it for their own reasons.)

We should encourage our young men to be chivalrous gentlemen, growing into good husbands and fathers. My own sons have absolutely no interest in adult materials. And fewer and fewer young men will as my own polluted, oversexed generation dies out. But take it away entirely and you create a massive new interest in the forbidden.
