Domspeak Forums Thread Like Summary - Is Persecution of BDSM on the Radar?

I'm hoping this thread doesn't go political. The point is wondering why a random new article popped up about the dangers of porn and bdsm. There may have been more than the one I saw on Laura Ingraham's show. Someone must have handed her the script and told her to report on it. I will post a link to the clip below.

There has long been a push to call everything sex trafficking. True sex trafficking is horrific and should not be tolerated. But, consensual adults engaging in activities they find erotic? That is no one's business. I do agree with her that sites like Pornhub and Xhamster should be not allowed to display adult content without proof of age. I would be against a driver licenses being required but a credit card with a minimal feel, like one dollar, would keep minors out. She was flat out wrong in saying that porn business profits from selling porn to minors. A person has to be an adult to have a credit card. That was pure ignorance on her part.

All video producers in my generation will remember the reign of 2257 terror in the early 2000's. So, seeing this pop up leads to me wondering if we'll see a crack down on consensual adult activity. I also have to wonder what is going through someone's mind when they want to dictate what people should enjoy erotically.

I was like a kid in a candy shop in the 80's through 90's. I can't complain with my situation now. My Goddess is beyond generous with me. But the days of jumping on the fast train from Boston to the NYC and having so much to choose from, including parties and clubs, that was pure gold.

I am afraid our better days are in the past. Not too optimistic about the future, here or globally. I did create a thread on twitter, mostly memorabilia about the previous decade which I see as the golden age.

I got into the scene around 1993. It was amazing, especially for a Midwestern who had lived a sheltered life. Trips to NYC and LA were a big WOW. Conventions and fellow Doms, somewhat close, to my studio in Columbus, Ohio were special as well. What a blast. Looking back, the golden years began long before the early 90's and only began to change about 15 years ago. There are still very special events going on and the standard for private studios has definitely raised. It has become expected instead of a few and far between treat. Perhaps, the professional scene has migrated to more of a global scale instead of the really cool local locations.
