Y’all are gonna find this weird, but I don’t have much of a palette for desserts. I do, however appreciate the presentation and appearance of desserts, and I’m always secretly hoping that my date will order whatever crazy chocolate pastry icecream creation, just so I can see what it looks like after reading the description. Its not a fetish, but I do get more pleasure from seeing other people enjoy sweets than I would get out of eating them myself. Which, most days, is none, because I don’t have a taste for it. Sexually, I’m opposite and would certainly rather partake in person.

Fly brings up good points about sexual activities being perceived as near-unforgivable filth, but violence is just a cinematic nothingburger. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie or TV show that did not fetishize violence to at least some degree. For example, I have now seen many episodes of Star Trek. They have a wholesome-for-the-times feel, and most would consider them family friendly. They even make the point in some episodes that violence is bad, and the whole point of everything is peaceful interaction with new cultures. Like, humanity has evolved past violent conflict or something. But there is some sort of violence in probably every episode I have seen.

I guess we can argue that we have a reasonable degree of faith that the violence is fake, but in porn, whether or not someone involved is really being destroyed as a human is often not truly known. When you see a video of someone being forcefully sexualized, you kinda just have to trust that it was all agreed to beforehand. Unlike TV murder, you know that whatever you just watched DID actually happen, and the whole point was to see the gory detail, and see it happen in a verifiable way. Certainly that thought could cause some negative perception. I don’t think I’ve adequately explained what I’m getting at here, but I think some of you know what I mean.

I watch about as much TV or porn as I eat candy, though. I’m not bragging; its just not my thing. I have my own vices.

Source? I didn't see anything on basic google search. Didn't know they had pron, but seems odd they'd also stop selling toys and such.

Pffft, you sure want a lot. Try selling a stock... or grip... or even rail panel covers. No joke. I had multiple nothingburger parts listings get red-flagged and deleted BY EBAY, complete with follow up warning messages, about selling "Assault weapon parts". Rail panels FFS... still have a screenshot of that idiocy around somewhere. And that was a couple years back... I can't imagine what things are like there now.

Perhaps China wants it's citizens to have greater access to ebay so they can help sell state products and they don't want anyone to accidentally see a vagina or it could start a counter revolution in Beijing.

It would go down in history as the Boobies War right next to the Opium Wars.

I mean, to be honest, that's actually a good plan. Flooding certain countries with easy access to boobas WOULD probably utterly destroy them and cause a resulting revolution. Really weird nobody has tried this simple method yet...

Maybe we should treat other countries like we would want to be treated, like Rand Paul said. I'm not interested in undermining others morality at all. We should encourage them to a better path. Of course if they try to kill you, that would be a different principle.

I'm aware. I've had slings red flagged.
