I certainly found the article interesting and I don't recall seeing it at the time. The issue has certainly been in the news recently - Radio 4 devoted its 7:30 slot to it on both Monday and Tuesday (if you get up that early). For me, the key passage of Janice Turner's article is: 'Strict guidelines govern the sexual content of all girls' titles that have 25% of their readers under the age of 16: under-age intercourse is heavily discouraged and every mention of sex comes with joyless advice about STDs and abortion. The Teenage Magazine Advisory Panel was set up to enforce this code. No such rules apply to boys' magazines...' I also note that 2 of the editors profiled are English graduates. Speaking as one myself, I think I'd rather work for an arms manufacturer... That’s all right. I certainly found the article interesting and I don’t recall seeing it at the time.

That's the system - and anybody who 'works' the system (ie makes money from it) doesn't give a f...fig about the children or the morality of it all. As Marx said : "Philosophers interpret the world in different ways; the point, however, is to change it." Sex sells - in whatever porn (sorry, form). It’s all about money, and making lots of it.

Unfortunately sex in its porn version - which many say is no longer porn - has invaded every section of our society. Why does the complacent human being try to always find leniency for their own capital sins? Or are they capital sins? Perhaps it depends on where you live in. “Dirty young men”, and what about the old satyrs? Unfortunately sex in its porn version - which many say is no longer porn - has invaded every section of our society.

Why does the complacent human being try to always find leniency for their own capital sins?

Or are they capital sins? Perhaps it depends on where you live in.
