Post Anti-Porn Groups Demand Ban on Skin Mags

Anti-Porn Groups Demand Ban on Skin Mags

WASHINGTON -- Dozens of anti-pornography groups asked the U.S. Congress to force the Pentagon to keep sexually related material from being sold in military stores.

Pornographic material was banned from being sold in military establishments nearly 10 years ago, but Christian group American Family Association claimed that adult fare, including Penthouse and Playboy material, is still being sold in the stores, USA Today reported Monday.
Poll: Should skin mags be available at U.S. Military installations?

The Pentagon deemed those materials aren't explicit enough to pull from its stores.

"They're saying 'we're not selling stuff that's sexually explicit' -- and we say it's pornography," Donald Wildmon, head of the American Family Association, told USA Today.

A letter-writing campaign launched Friday aimed to convince Congress to "get the Pentagon to obey the law," he added.

The Military Honor and Decency Act of 1996 is supposed to bar "sexually explicit material" from being sold in stores on military bases, the newspaper said. It defines porn as "the dominant theme of which depicts or describes nudity" or sexual activities "in a lascivious way."

So what is and is not "sexually explicit"?

Nudity? Penetration? Simulated sex act? Panty shot? Sexy clothing?

And, who decides it?

You know I sometimes feel that these people are just waaaay over the top.

"It's ok for you to kill someone son and get blown up yersel but Gaawd forbid that you see a womans bare titty yo sure not grown up enough to handle that son and I'sa gonna protect you from yersel!!" They give normal level headed Christian pervs a bad name!

Maybe if there was more beauty bandied about and less ugliness in the form fantasy games stuff then the world would be a better place!

What utter s h one tee!
