Proposed definition of pornography.

	Pornography is that which depicts people enjoying pain and
	mistreatment.  Also, that which celebrates violence as a valid form
	of sexuality.

I would contend by this definition all of the James Bond novels by Ian
Flemming are pornographic.  Does anyone who has read the novels by
Flemming care to disagree?  Of course in the novels the sadism is
primarily directed at men, but their ability to take and give pain is what
make the men sexual.  For those who haven't read Ian Flemming, but have
seen the Hollywood movies, I suggest you read the books before commenting.
Some of scenes depicted in the books make the Story of O seem like child's
play.
