Echidne of the Snakes, in the course of reporting on Digby's poking at a decision by networks and some websites not to carry ads for a "botanical aphrodisiac," even though Viagra and Cialis ads at the same networks and websites are rampant (complicated enough for you?), makes an observation:
We are finally beginning to notice that what everyone calls "sex" is really "sex as heterosexual guys see it". Whether anything about that will change is a whole different color of fishes, but at least we can start a conversation on pornography and related matters with a shared understanding that it's not "sex" we are talking about.
