Also like with junkfood, the border to art is really hazy. Sometimes what we call "junkfood" can actually be nutritionally quite alright and even tasty, and sometimes what we call "porn" helps people relax and process their thoughts and fantasies in a safe and comfortable way. (Like art.)

(Also, there is some evidence that the availibility of porn has a decreasing effect on the number of rapes, although I don't think the data is conclusive yet.)

As for the rest of the topic, as a polyamoric atheist I am so far removed from the OP's worldview that I just don't know what to say.

However, I think the polyamory FAQ might be an interesting read for people interested in this topic, because it looks at the issue from a very different angle.

Way to make swinging sound classier!!!
