I'm just not a prude I guess. God, we're about to have porn wars again, aren't we.

Dating relationships can go bad and abusive. Film at 11. Hell, actual sexual relationships between adults can go abusive real quick.

We don't sit there tutting at people having sex. Because that would be called an anxiety disorder.

But sexting between consenting adults?

Well, it's Pride month. I suppose I'll have to start telling my gay friends to knock it off. Hell, it's how half our dating relationships start. But maybe we're all uneducated that sexual activities between consenting adults isn't meeting with approval.
