>In countries where porn is readily available, such as Denmark, Holland, Spain, they have much more widespread porn than we do in England or America, but they also have far less children raped and strangled and thrown into a canal,
>We need to talk about this stuff because these are very much the demons of this particular culture at this particular time. You don't have to go very far across the world… I mean, which state was it where Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year-old cousin?
>The idea of Children, which was basically a Victorian construct, is regarded very differently to the way we regard it to the West. This is not an argument that it's okay to have actual sex with actual children, because one of the reasons why I decided to refer to this as a work of porn is, yes, it is provocative, and it's kind of defiant, but it is exact.
>Pornography is 'paintings or drawings about wantons.' Now it doesn't say anything in there about photographs or films or shared files of wantons or children or anything else. I think a line has to be drawn between the sexual imagination and any attempt to materialize that in a photograph or whatever, and that is something that should be and is covered. We have perfectly adequate existing laws regarding coersive sex, whatever the age of the person concerned. Whatever urges there are out there are in our sexual imagination.
>And it seems to me that is a thing we fail to explore at our peril, if we allow shadowy, unexpected corners of it to remain where it is and never look inside them, and we end up with pretty much the type of society we've got now, where there is a fanatic outcry at anything suggestive involving a child where there is complete apathy at the number of children who are blown up everyday in the world's war zones. Yeah, they only had their limbs blown off, but they haven't been touched sexually. That is something that is worth looking at.
What the FUCK did he mean by this? Seriously
