Is Online Porn Growing Up?
from the those-awkward-teenage-years dept
CNN has discovered that online porn is big business, which is probably news to you if you just happened to stumble onto this here internet thing. Otherwise, you might have heard that billions are being made in online porn. While there are still a lot of small, independent (some might say "sketchy") players in the space, as it matures, larger players are emerging. It's also raising certain legal questions, and some are saying that the Supreme Court may need to revisit the porn/obscenity issue for the first time in decades. While the last big ruling focused on community standards, that causes problems when the "community" can be anywhere. Meanwhile, it seems like porn is becoming so mainstream in some areas, that it's not even considered quite as taboo in polite company any more. That, at least, appears to be the goal of sites like Fleshbot and Variety's new "Porning Report".

Increasing Dichotomies
What's interesting to me is how porn is becoming more mainstream, appearing all around us, but the standards for good behavior are becoming ever stricter. These days, accidentally touching someone can get one labelled as a "rapist". Will there be convergence, or will we continue to live in this surreal dichotomy where there are naked billboards all around us, but bumping into someone the wrong way will get one locked away for life?

Re: Increasing Dichotomies
perhaps your idea of accidental, and their idea of accidental are slightly different. For example your idea of accidental might include unzipping your pants and rubbing yourself against their ass...and they may disagree.

Re: Increasing Dichotomies
What if you really just accidentally bump into someone, but the other person decides to accuse you of what you describe?
