The fact that some people like to wave the "libertarian" word around like it is dog doo on a stick, or some sort of argument-winning trump card, proves zilch. The fact is, many (if not most) progressives are also social or left small l libertarians. Equal rights for LGBT citizens- that is another socially libertarian position.
The fact that the anti sex puritan zealots THINK they have a good reason for telling consenting Adults what choices they can make-in porn, be they the particpants OR the audience- well, isnt that always the case? "WE KNOW BETTER THAN YOUUUU (SO STOP YER SINNIN!!!)"
We hear a lot of noise about how women in porn "must not really be consentng" or they're not capable of consenting... Same sort of shit anti choicers use to make women "victims" of the so called "abortion industry".
The fact is, if there was evidence of widespread non consent in porn, there would be widespread prosecutions and lawsuits. After all, Unlike with many other crimes, the evidence is right there on film.
But there aren't, because the participants have not only consented but signed papers to that effect. So its yet another bullshit ruse to cover up the real, fundy agenda, which is to do away with any sexual pleasure that might piss off Jesus.
