This from my archives. 2008.
Back when we fretted about such simple things as kindness consideration, and cause, and effect.
Porn as it was, and is demeans those in it.
So we thought my comrades of the time. Is there a way to do enjoyable erotica that doesn't hurt people? I mean the template we had then as now comes from when it was mostly illegal. So the Mob produced it all.
In other words generations were given as a model the Mafia's idea of sex. Which is akin to autopsy pictures. So I proposed what in my earlier boyish innocence I believed porn to be. As a lad of 11 or 12 I'd see this stuff on newsstand racks. I thought the pictures were taken by the people in it. The women themselves took the pictures, and the articles interspersed were by them talking about why they did it, and how they had such a nice time with friends doing it. An interesting idea we thought.
However when we actually proposed this to one of the minor rags they thought we were crazy, and said basically "fuck no" to the idea. Anyway by this time it was the early 1970's so I began to self publish gay poetry Queer Angel, and Faerie drawings...see below. Which was great fun.
