Only if I end up living in a Muslim-dominant country, otherwise I have no stake in the argument, nor any local perspective. But as far as my opinions on it go — they are the same no matter what country you apply it to. But fortunately in Europe/North American you can’t be fined massive amounts of money for linking (linking) to an image that someone has decided is obscene.

In terms of openness to nudity or porn, a number of regions are ranked in decreasing order: Europe/North America > Hong Kong > Mainland China (Dejour illegal; Defacto a florishing market of sex services exists) > Muslim world.

Ryan, I guess you won’t bother to preach to Muslim world to be more open to porn?

I agree 100% in that people are welcome to let whatever they want make them feel uncomfortable – but legislating their insecurities should not be acceptable. I’ve been to the Louvre in Paris and to Spring Break in Daytona Beach – I’ll let you guess which nudity I enjoyed more.

As for why we’re scared of naked people, I have no idea. We can look at renaisance paintings and sculptures and call it art, but if it’s a modern person it’s porno. A woman breastfeeding in public is beautiful and natural, yet we get all wired up and angry when college students have wet-tshirt contests. For me, I have no problem with people being unconfortable with what they deem to be pornographic, but I think its very sad and unfortunate that we legislate it and dictate it on everybody.
