I very much hope that most people do not hide from their sexuality. No matter who you lust for or what your fetish is, I hope that you embrace it for it is part of who you are. For those of us who like our porn, no matter what your personal kink may be, there may be hope that our entertainment may be protected a little better than we thought. So if you get your jollies online, in a DVD, on a blog or with that special him/her/inbetween, enjoy it. In a recent case, United States v. Extreme Associates, a judge in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania found the obscenity statutes unconstitutional as applied to Extreme Associates and dismissed the government's case.
What grounds you say--privacy and sexual liberty, that is the right to get our sexual thrills in the privacy of our own homes. The reasoning is based on the Lawrence v. Texas case in which the Supreme Court held that the Texas sodomy laws are an unconstitutional infringement on personal privacy and sexual liberty. For a very good analysis of the decion and its implications--see Julie Hilden's piece on Findlaw.com.
So go ahead, enjoy your kink, revel in it, after all, at least according to Judge Lancaster, it is your constitutional right to do so.
