Alex, either back up your "business standpoint" claims or shut up, I'm sick of hearing you state your own personal conservatism as an irrefutable fact of the entire adult business. You have no idea what you're talking about, and can't find a single example or legal case to try and prove your point.

Show me *one* case where an adult site was prosecuted for blood content (not presented as a part of a greater BDSM/violent context). I don't doubt that it *could* potentially happen, but you act like it happens so constantly that it's become common knowledge on par with not not promoting raping animals. (Always nice to see menstruation listed alongside bestiality, though.)

News to Alex: I didn't invent menstruation. There have been period-focussed sites online for *at least* 4 years, and many more with quiet red content, and I think we all would have noticed if one of them had caused the downfall of the entire adult industry.

It's fine for you to play it safe with your own business, but stop claiming that your personal fears and insecurities should dictate what *I* am allowed to do with my time.

Im gonna butt in here for a sec - and only because I tend to be a little more liberal on issues - I think that a good reference point for everyone that is not familiar with the history of what furrygirl is doing here - http://www4.ncsu.edu/~n51ls801/period.html
is an excellent link to read and get some background.

I will not interject my personal feelings as they do not play in this whatsoever - I think that the whole discussion (no matter how much personal feelings have been jutted in) comes down to a battle between what some think that WMs have the right to publish and promote - vs - the effects of promoting those same ideas/fetishes/etc.

Unfortunately, the two are not opposing viewpoints although they are the talking points that have been taken in this thread.

I believe that both parties really do agree on the moral issue and the freedom of speech/publishing rights issues.

The finer point of the biz issue is really where the contention lies - and should be discussed - I think that both sides have the same outlook personally on freedoms and their sanctity.
This then boils down to one side discussing the effect of "promoting a fetish and the repurcussions on the whole industry" and the other side basing the discussion as if there is no effect and these two basis of thought aren't opposing thoughts - they are completely different basis.

I saw that one a while ago, and while it's a decent read for people new to the subject, but I found it to be too much like a poorly-strung-together freshman psych term paper, even though he's aparently an associate professor of philosophy. I think it's important to point out that it is written by a male who is not in the adult industry.

Trixie actually wrote a piece from the perspective in a menstruating pornographer in the latest $pread Magazine. I know she and I both want people to support the new publication, but I'll ask and see if she wants to share the scanned story here.
