And why is porn seen as something negative? It's a gorgeous thing, a great idea and I wish it would be discussed more openly and not be so banned from mainstream media. There is not a single logical reason to oppose porn I know of, if somebody could supply me with one that would be appreciated.
I feel like Leslie wants to provoke this kind of reaction sometimes.

How I see the line between porn and art, is if the intent of the artist is primarily to elicit sexual arousal, then it's porn. If the intent of the artist is to elicit something more nuanced, it's art. It's just really hard to tell which Leslie is going for. Not that it's a bad thing, in either case.
I don't see porn as negative. My only disagreements with porn is the portrayal of violence against women (and sometimes men), but that's a whole 'nother topic of discussion.
