426. Of course not, the average guy does NOT like seeing rape
or any of the more extreme material.

"Regular" porn is fundamentally the same as it's always been: vaginal/oral/anal/mammary sex with pretty, young (legal aged) women. The girl is usually playing the role of a submissive "slut" who "wants it bad", who performs in very "degrading", submissive positons. The most extreme things that take place are group sex and facial ejaculation. In regular porn, there is never any sense that the woman is scared; that would be a gigantic turn-off to the average viewer, who likes to see the woman smiling, moaning with pleasure, enjoying herself, i.e. the girl who "likes it".

The rape, urination and BSDM is on the far end of the spectrum - a niche category. It's disgusting and offensive to the average porn customer. But who are we to tell them what to watch ? As long as consenting adults are involved in the making of these movies there's nothing anyone can or should do about it. This is the rather small price we pay for living in a free society. Regulate/censor them and it is a very slippery slope until the government is regulating everything considered "degrading". Anti-porn activists will argue that rape is illegal. But we see illegal acts on TV shows everyday -including murder - of course not graphically, but only because TV is a public medium. The government would have a very difficult time trying to make an argument for censoring what private, law abiding citizens consume in the privacy of their own homes. Like I said, it's the price we pay for living in America. The fringe elements are the sewers/gutters along side the road of a free society, enabling it to function.
