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.







Good job Shirley, this one makes me think.

I don't think that I could get off over it - it certainly isn't something that would/should cultivate ones soul - mine anyway. But I have to be honest and say that it does somehow pique my interest. Maybe because I've never exposed myself to this specific genre before. Or maybe because I've been so uninterested in porn recently, getting my drive back this week I've been looking for something more edgy.

Does ABA get a pass? I say yes. What makes censoring this different from censoring anything else? What right do I have to judge what gets others off? And considering that the end-result is the same, what difference is there whether it's acted out clothed or nude? Some would say that acting out or viewing fantasy situations regardless of how perverse can actually help people to cope with real life situations and/or stress.

Don't step on my toes, I won't crush the shit out of yours - I hope others will be open enough to think about that before making rash statements/choices. Either way, discussions like this are good food for the soul.
