On Porn

Brendan O'Neill, whose photo unfortunately makes him look like a smug tosser, writes about Lad's mags and real porn and the difference between the two. He has a few knocks at the "cultural elite" on the way:

So who is it who is really hung up on porn? It is not teenage boys or men in general, but the cultural elite. One section of this thinks porn has the power to damage men, women and society itself while the other section thinks porn is somehow cool, interesting, underground; something to be debated in hallowed halls and broken down in academic tomes.
