Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Robert Jensen writes: ...People routinely assume that pornography is such a difficult and divisive issue because it's about sex. I think that's wrong. This culture struggles unsuccessfully with pornography because it is about men's cruelty to women, and the pleasure men sometimes take in that cruelty...

Jensen clearly doesn't know what pornography is. He is talking BS, or more precisely about the current hardcore film production by 'directors' who are - with all due respect - C grade film makers. Especially the American productions feature mostly sport fucking flics.

Pornography can be defined in one sentence: It is a sexual fairy tail for adults.

Voila'!

Fairy tails are about many things, about snow-white and the seven dwarfs (big noses - big penises), about young poor and ugly boys which make the princess kiss the cold, wet frog (penis) and become shiny princes, about young girls somewhat unconfortably sleeping on peas (pea - pisello - penis), about red caped girls who mistake bad wolfs for their grandmothers (why do you have such a long nose?), the abduction of kids and their torture in a house of sweets, etc. pp.

There are no more violent porn stories like children fairy tales. It all depends on how they are told.

The adult porn film industry suffers from the fact that the stories are told by bad playwrites and bad directors.

Btw; PP Pasolini made a good porn movie. The title is Salo'.

I forgot to mention that the European porn fairy tales (Grimm Brothers) were de-authenticised by Disney. They tell the stories without the intrinsic sexual content. The cartoon caracters lack the prime and secondary sexual attributes. Mickey Mouse has no penis. DisneyWorld has created a sex free porn fairy tale. Another reason why America will not stand as an empire.

and America "standing as an empire" would be a good thing?

Look, the American harcore porn industry provides what the market demands crude, cruel, direct sex: certainly not art films by PP Passolini.
