In reply to the discussion: "They pleasured themselves to death" [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)10. Okay, so.. you're a smart guy. Is it just me? Look at this definition:
This is the #2 most frequent "physically aggressive act" in the study, and combined with "spanking" pretty much comprises the lion's share of that 88% figure, as near as I can tell.
So here's the definition they used:
(g) gagging (defined as when an object or body part, e.g., penis, hand, or sex toy, is inserted into a characters mouth, visibly obstruct- ing breathing);
What am I missing here? Do they not understand that people can also breathe through their noses, or that almost ANY time something goes in someone's mouth, it "obstructs breathing" through the mouth? Did they find porn with oddly shaped penii that could obstruct nose AND mouth breathing at the same time? (Do I even want to know, about that?)
Or, as I suspect, are they categorizing ALL insertion of anything into a mouth (and concurrently, "obstructing breathing" as "physical aggression"?
And who'd have thought such things - you know, things going into mouths, and all - would turn up so frequently in porn?
