[Added by mods- Content Warning: Sensitive Topic] What do you think about pornography from Autistic perspective?

Not meaning to cause division, but really very genuinely interest in what you think about the subject, particularly as many here we no doubt struggle with real world intimacy and romantic relationships?

1. Perhaps OK one in a while? Much like a cigarette, cigar or watching Fast and Furious movies, its acted, and a bit of escapism. 

2. Generally fine, if its not interfering with real life friendships, dating, work and daily life?

3. Generally no, as the pornography industry is deeply harmful to women and portray a realistic nor healthy depiction of intimacy?  

4. Its the closet I'll ever get to real world intimacy, so I can't get enough

  • From my personal view, as a female in her 20s I find all this stuff to be super disturbing.

    Have you analised what it was that made it disturbing for you?

    I can understand the cross species thing being unpalatable but why does cartoon characters (of adults I assume) doing adult things cause such a response? 

    When you think about it, Homer and Marge Simpson must have got it on to make Bart, Lisa and Maggie and I assume these cartoons were not being shown on a kids site, so why should adults not be able to watch cartoons in a way they want?

    If you think of the violence, abuse and sexual content of many songs now then the cartoon seems rather tame by comparison, especially as its format makes it clear it is complete fantasy while the song lyrics are much more likely to be seen as lifestyle advocacy.

    Do you consider the songs as objectionable? 

    I'm not trying to have a go by the way, this is more to try to understand your response.
