What a confession

Minnesota trans legislator Leigh Finke argues that access to internet porn should not be banned because he feels that it is "educational" for queer youth.  Now call me weird, but it strikes me that for almost all of recorded history, people have figured out how to have sex without the "help" of porn, and hence it suggests that Mr. Finke has something in mind other than education.

This is especially the case when one considers the "ick" factor of typical sexual situations in porn--things that normal people won't do, more or less.  If someone tells one to "make love like a porn star", the response ought to be "on drugs, humiliated, and basically raped?  No thank you!".  

So in that light, what Mr. Finke is asking for is for kids to be exposed to the kind of acts that require porn producers to have their own, in-house drug treatment and mental health centers.  It is, in a word, recruitment--not to mention horrific abuse.
