In Norway, the legislation has been such that (wiki-quoting): "Hardcore material has for long been illegal de jure, but legal in practice, that is, illegal to produce, distribute and sell, but legal to possess. One may e.g. acquire it abroad, on the internet, or via satellite TV. (...) After the Supreme Court on 7 December 2005 unanimously acquitted a former magazine editor for publishing unobscured hardcore pornography in 2002, however, it is understood that printed hardcore pornography is no longer illegal." I think this is a hopelessly conservative legislation, but it is moving in the right direction (ref. the supreme court ruling). And I can buy any porn I like to, bar child-porn, from whatever website I like to and it goes smoothly through customs every time. So I have full access to buy anything from your catalogue TonyC, I can buy it from your webstore or from any other webstore. Thus I don't really see how my individual liberties, or that of the public, are restricted much in practice.

Oh and by the way, in 1981 Sweden banned Mad Max.

Apart from my personal "cocoon", I see much more women renting/buying porn DVD/VHS. But it declined, when I was first in Amsterdam, 1994, it was really "in" for young females to watch Seventeen porn movies at partys or browse through the magazines. The girls now are much more conservative. Laws were changed and Seventeen is now almost as dull as most US porn.
As a born german, I was very astonished reading the old dutch and danish Teen Sex Magazines, they had many articles (!) in there, about feminism, the Vietnam war and relationship problems.

Men with raincoats, I laughed when I read this, I only saw these in Germany, never here in NL. ;-)

And depending on the prosecutor you may end up in trouble showing a minor even your own kid an “R” rated movie with strong sexually content and nudity.

And of course it’s all right to show women raped and murdered even on TV if there’s no nudity.

Killing is good/sex is bad. It’s the American way

So much women-unfriendly porn out there, and I don't just mean the overtly misogynistic sort, that it's hardly worth the time and effort to find any that is appealing.

I have a mind and a good imagination, if I really need exciting images, all I have to do is close my eyes.

There are also a lot of short men who make porn. Sorry short men, but there is a complex.

If you read the other threads here, you will eventually put it together. American porn has degenerated into vile, vicious mauling where girls are not just fucked, but abused. And if you look at the postings, most of the guys here don't like it. If many guys don't like it, you have to figure most women sure won't, either.

People watch porn for the vicarious experience. Who the hell would want to go through what girls are experiencing on film these days?

By the way , is max hardcore short ? :o)

I just happen to be that rare and beautiful thing, an exception to the rule.

women treated badly in US Porn ? Have you ever seen german porn movies ? Oh god, they are much more women disgrading. Some of the producers are hating women more, than the
german tax authorities.

Apart from Max Hardcore, I wouldnt say that the sex is very hard in US porn, but the language is. The language is terrible, insulting, degrading, primitive.
The germans are really masters in this, they turn soft dutch titles, like " schoolgirls first love " into
" dirty slavewitches fucked into all holes ".

And the -gangbang- movies arent friendly either, I dont have anything against gangbangs, but the repeated "slut ! witch ! dirt ! slave ! " is really getting on my nerves.
