tittilating in the least. The thing is, the line can be somewhat fuzzy.

Is the woman (or man) being coerced in any way? Are they under the influence of intoxicants? I think most halfway alert adults can detect this.

I think one action that might help would be to identify the studios, labels or directors who have a proven track record of producing coercive porn, and shining a big light on them. If more people knew that lives were being ruined for their enjoyment, maybe they'd alter their viewing habits and stick with the mom and pop stuff, or content that has established itself as purveying only non-coercive material.

There will always be customers who will crave violent porn, or beastiality, or dominance, shitting, or whatever.

As for myself, porn does nothing for me these days. The medications I'm on have sent every vestige of my libido packing, never to return.

On edit: I know this is an explosive subject here, and I appreciate being spoken to with civility. Thanks.
