Thank you for this post.

silly business

 

 

Yes we are adults......

Do some of us like porn..I would say some do and some don't

Do some of us like erotica..again some do some don't

Porn has never been acceptable in this community...there are other communities and sites that specialise for this taste.

Erotica is another form of porn.

There are books, magazines,films, websites, communities and even pictures that deal with this.

Yes I think's it's great that roomies right poetry and should keep doing so but like everything in this world there are limits.

 

Yes before you say, I do look at some porn and read it..but it's not what this community is about.

 

I am not sure of the poem (or poems) in question here but I see Dinky's post in another light.

 

Sometimes poetry is written to help the author better understand a painful or traumatic experience in life and can help the author to better resolve issues that have haunted them (as I have found with my poetry).

 

Where I see Dinky coming from is speaking of traumatic experiences in life, lets use child abuse as an example, while the author may have resolved these issues in life, others may not have and reading a poem that is full of emotion regarding this may bring to the surface many unresolved issues and it may happen at a time when that person is not yet strong enough, or ready enough, to deal with such experiences. In posting we may be making a situation worse for some people and therefore I very strongly agree with Dinky that some topics should be left out of forums such as this.

 

I may well be way of the beaten track here but it is just what I read into the comments made. The example already given about Porn may be nothing to those comfortable about sexuality and the naked form, but for someone forced into prostitution as a teenager or for someone who has experienced rape or whatever, it still may be a touchy subject. But regardless, people should look deeper and ask if posting this comment, or poem, or story, would I be offending anyone .. simply, have respect for others ...

 

Sorry if I see it wrong .......

BTW, Hal .. your right .. there is a place for everything and this community is not the place for that .. it is a community of friendship and respect ......
