This thread has spawned two very different trains of thought. The first, of the typical wiseass variety, is that I learned from the King Follett Discourse that pornography isn't "created", it's "organized."
The second, somewhat more serious thought, is that viewers are willing participants in the "creation" of pornography, which I suppose was the thread's point. Due to the ravages of age and declining hormone levels, I'm affected very differently now by "art" than I was at the age of 18. I concur with Justice Stewart's observation that I can't define pornography, but "I know it when I see it." And I see things differently than I did 35 years ago, and that's quite a dilemma for legislators and administrators.
