Your not a primmie are you?


No.

Considering that ancient people had sexy pottery, I have my doubts that any society other than a primmie one would be without the technological capability.

Care to explain then?


Sorry about that -- see my updated post.

I'll also add that this deviating a bit too far from the original topic. But I'd be glad to continue the discussion in a new thread if you like.

I wouldn't really consider "sexy pottery" to be porn. And I doubt people were getting off to their pottery.

I didn't say that I think that a healthy society would all be a bunch of hunter-gatherers.

No but you said they wouldn't have the capability, even with those conditions you set, people are still capable of doing, whereas a primmie society is not capable, thus my question.

I see why you asked now. Sorry about the confusion.

I also see that I was wrong about them not being capable of producing porn -- as Zazaban pointed out with his/her example of pottery, the society I envision as ideal would technically be able to produce porn by painting or sculpture or a variety of other means (note that I still don't see the sexual imagery on ancient pottery as "porn" though -- I'm just saying that using the same medium, you could produce something that was porn). And thus they very well might produce porn -- and I, of course, see no problem with that if it's what they desire.

However, I still think that everything else I said stands, as far as the people not desiring violent, demeaning porn in a healthy society. I don't think they would produce that.
