> What about sex? Have you had sex? Do you feel the need to seek out crazier and crazier versions of it?

For porn and sex it's different though. Some people are attracted to things that are deviant and taboo. That's the part they're looking for. As pornography has become more widely accepted, a market has developed for more and more extreme forms of it. This has been documented. It's not the content per-se but rather the nature of it that is found attractive. So the idea is to find a line that's reasonable so the people that feel the need to get close to that line can have that urge fulfilled without damaging society.

A market will form for more and more extreme content as soon as the line moves and what was one taboo no longer is. An Overton window of sorts for pornography.

There seems to be a small issue in GP's logical inference to me, in that he places artificial CP as proportional and wholly inferior replacement to real CP. As if, ham sandwiches and boiled sausages are _inferior_ replacements to blocks of body parts of animals on a dish.

I don't think this is the case, from anecdotal experiences; Hollywood chase scenes are much more exciting to me than real life crash footage, I've watched enough. They need cooking, and if you are cooking anyway, mixing artificial and "natural" ingredients can even be a problem than a positive.

Truth is always boring.
