I have really mixed feelings about porn. On the one hand, I think people (adults) should be able to watch it if they want to. On the other hand, I think it has some really insidious effects on society, and it has creeped into the mainstream.

Erotica and porn, not even close to the same thing.

Though you run into the Potter Stewart problem in trying to draw the line between them.
