I think all pornography should be behind a paywall. It doesn't even have to be a hefty paywall - hell 0.50 would do... but we need something to help alert parents to when their children are access porn. And I say this as a huge supporter of free speech.

I honestly don't know how much it would help though because when you go to parenting forums you always find parents who are so pro-porn it's shocking. Someone will post about finding porn on their pre-teens computer, and ask for help, and there are always a ton of responses saying you shouldn't shame your child for their sexuality, and you should just explain to them that porn is fake TV sex and they shouldn't expect real sex to be that way.

That is the most ignorant response I have ever heard of. Explaining to children that porn debases not only the actors, but also the viewers is not a bad thing, and not shaming children for their sexuality. It's perfectly possible to raise a child with a healthy view of sex without exposing them to shit that is going to actually fuck up their sexuality for the rest of their lives. But I think a lot of people are so resistant to unpacking what porn might have done to their own views on sexuality, that they refuse to think about it.

But I realize that's not exactly a precise answer to your question. Your question was about censorship based on who is engaged in the sex act, not about porn overall. Honestly, it's hard for me to get over my overall negative view of porn to get to an unbiased answer, but I'll try.

I guess when you talk about incest, you also have to talk about rape - because if you're talking about a parent having sex with their child, that's rape. Not because of the familial relationship, but because that's going to be a much older adult, who has power and authority over the person they're having sex with. And there would probably be a fair amount of grooming going on. So, to say that it's just like any other erotica sub is a bit dishonest. It's a sub that's filled with stories of rape.

But is fucking animals rape? I mean, I assume they allow the furries to write erotica about having sex. But even then, don't both participants usually pretend to be animals, rather than a human having sex with an animal?

I don't know. Doesn't quarantining a sub just make it so that it doesn't show up with you google something about reddit, but it still lets anyone visit it? If that's the case, what does it even matter?

Blech.

Your comment didn't really address the point, which I think is - to what extent should people govern what consenting adults are doing? Rape and molestation are already illegal, so what does banning incest accomplish?
