OK, Alpha Blue Archives has released a box set of old porn loops titled, "The History of Rape." I believe the set contains about 8 hours of old loops and sexploitation scenes from the 1970s. It bills itself as, "The most notorious and shocking series in the history of underground porn." With titles like "Nazi's Revenge," "Rape of the Hitchhikers," and "Terrorized Virgin," I'd tend to agree. Some are pornographic rape/murder scenarios.

Bear in mind it's perfectly legal to portray rape on film. Just the same as it's OK to shoot someone on a TV show and not be accused of actual murder. I've made the point that, in this context, The Lifetime cable channel is more perverse than most pornographers.

But porn is different because the sex act is out in the open...no fade away shots or allusions. I always assumed porn was about arousal, and I frankly don't find much arousing about raping someone. Does ABA get a pass on this? Someone explain.
