No apology needed. They are in different categories, and my statement was ambiguous. Both generally under the heading of "Wrong" and "Unwanted"

Rape and indecent exposure are very different in their extremes, but from the little I know about the psychology behind both of them, neither is about sexual gratification as much as power over another person.

Porn is usually about sexual gratification (despite the feminist point of view that it subjugates women and treats them as 'objects'), hence the example relating to savage love's column.

Our resident psych experts may be willing to weigh in on the pyschological underpinnings of "sex crimes". I'm out of my league.

I think that bringing other people into your sexual game without their consent is wrong and that's how I see watching porn in the library. It isn't a violent assault on another person's physical self, but still may be uwanted.
