text: is pornography being more widely accepted? the legal, non-violent softcore and hardcore stuff. i'm not sure that it's more widely accepted, but the supply has increased exponentially. this is a case where the supply actually creates the demand.  the increased demand, in turn, finances the development of more pornographic material. it's a vicious cycle, but i think the way out of it is to create more opportunities for men and women to mingle in real life. it's just more fun.
