I was speaking with my mother about this the other day.  she initially said no but I convinced her that it should be allowed, providing simple protocol is followed.

Of course not.

So, what's porn then?  Perhaps information about transvestitism is considered by most people to be pornographic.  What about all the little transvestites?

Leaving aside the fact that I am not technically a transvestite, most of the people who set policies like this define pornography in a way that takes intent to titillate into account, opebo.

Pictures of bedposts titillate some people, Nathan.

And pictures of horses titillate others. I never said 'intent to titillate' was all that most people's definition of pornography takes into account.

necessary, but not sufficient, so what is sufficient?
