Lines: 20 Ellen says, I don't want to have relationships (professional or personal) with anyone who gets off on the humiliation and torture of another human being. You will find that most pornography has that theme. Rarely do you see people enjoying a sexual encounter with no overtones of submission or violence. It would help your argument about "most pornography" if you could substantiate it. While some pornography depicts violence against women, I would not be so free with truth as to say "most", but we probably read different magazines. Perhaps Silhouette Romance pulp novels should be classified along with smut, too. After all, aren't they infused with ever-so-genteel "overtones of submission and violence?" -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
