"It's too simplistic to assert all 'porn' is bad,"
When you debase a natural, essential and highly human act by marketing it at its lowest level, for profit, it is bad PFR
Nothing wrong with writing about sex - Lawrence and N?n did a good job of it; sex on the screen can be both titillating and artistically satisfying (some of those Scandinavian and French classics steered me through adolescence quite well...
As for Gershon Legman.... my hero.
I quite enjoyed Frank Harris when I discovered 'The Penguin Book of Erotic Prose' - but this as a long way from what we are talking about, which ranges from grunting and sucking to man, woman and child rape and snuff.
One you hang a price tag on something we all need the barriers are lifted to cater for the worst aspects of humanity
You should no more be able to sell sex than you should market air


I'm with PFR here, as I believe you are.
Not all porn is bad.
There are some who would classify the writings, films and erotic prose, which you believe are acceptable, as 'porn'.
Others would set the bar somewhat higher(or lower).

Have you been on a garage forecourt recently? Most air pumps now make a charge.
