First of all, you are making my choices for me and making my decisions without asking my permission. I don't remember asking you to do any such thing. Secondly, I have no objections to participating in ``pornographic'' pictures, have written sexually-explicit text which might be considered pornographic, and don't feel that anyone in my family should be restricted from doing so, immediately blowing away your "how would you feel if" arguement. If I have jealousy problems with someone I love being involved in a sexual act on or off camera, that is my problem (and in fact points out that even I can't always live up to my standards of behavior). This whole argument hinges on the idea that you can tell me what degrades *me*, can tell *me* how I should feel, and then that you should be able to make decisions for *me* on this basis. Forget it. -- Opinions stated here are my own and are unrelated. Charlie Martin (...mcnc!duke!crm)
