Re: [UUPoly-L] UU and blue/red poly

["Brigitte Fires" <brigittefires@gmail.com>]

while I didn't read the article, I will say.... I'm poly. And I don't
watch porn. at 23 years old, I have seen two pornography movies in my
life, entirely for the purpose of "giving it a chance" before making a
decision about my opinion.... yeah, can't stand it. Doesn't do
anything for me. Find it kind of disgusting actually, in no way I can
quantify. I don't feel strongly enough about it to require a partner
who feels the same way, to each their own but... Only so long as their
pornography viewing doesn't involve me.

I would argue that there is no link between the debasement of women
and pornography, but it has been my experience that the conversation
only leads to madness. But I will state my opinion that there's no
link there, either.
