resp:5  I'm not sure I 100% agree with that, although I think if we 
were less repressed, we might have more depictions of happenstance 
nudity in situations that were not sexual, such as pregnancy, 
breastfeeding, etc.  I don't think I agree gratituous sexual nudity is 
a good idea.  Neither is gratituous violence, either.

hmmm, up the nudity and tone down the violence?  hmmm..

resp:6  what do you mean?  would that include your little Johnny 
boinking little Jane down the street?  I suppose that idea would 
necessitate a discussion on if media violence encourages children to 
be violent, and likewise, media sex encourages children to have sex.


resp:7  Credit should be given where credit is due.  It was 
noteworthy, and therefore, the speaker was worth remembering too.  
Now, as per se resp:9, if only I could adopt that attitude, I think 
I'd be a bit more satisfied.

On the other hand, I really love to snuggle.  I like sex, but I also 
enjoy merely having nice, warm female in my bed who loves me a lot.  
In my present case (and thenceforth) it's Julie, whose warm body also 
reminds me of the precious child that is coming very soon.

resp:16  Why do you think some people roleplay?  C'mon, you didn't 
think all those scantily clad young females at conventions were purely 
happenstance, do you?  Well, then again, I should mention just them.. 
you look at anyone dressed up, and this is meeting a fantasy.  Hey, at 
our last convention, there was a BDSM demonstration and forum.

        And what kind of conventions are you talking about here?  The only one
I regularly attend is Convocation, which is a good way to track down my old
Pagan buddies.  That doesn't feature "scantily clad young females".  The local
dance clubs do, however.

        Ah ... I'm assuming you're referring to the RPG and LARP geek-niches,
and not BSDM role-playing?  Both feature chain-mail bikinis.

        Aren't most sci-fi freaks kinda ... uhm ... nasty?

Well, actually most sci-fi freaks are disturbingly normal.  The nasty 
ones are generally rare and only into sci-fi for the conventions and 
all that they entail.

I'll bet you anything that the BDSM discussion and demo Jon mentioned 
was put on by one of those rare nasties.

that is a bonus.

I'll say it again-- snuggling is good.

re #29- I think they're meaning nasty as in really really not 
attractive and really not people you would want to see scantily clad. 

'Course I could be wrong.

Oh yes.  The particular example in question-- the BDSM folks had a 
setup at the dealer's booth.. 40-something women.. nasty, nasty, nasty.

        It is.  Either someone looks nice, or they look nasty. :)

..however, it should be noted that the slave and master walking around 
weren't too bad looking.
