i don't necessarily take all those arguments as my own but there they are nevertheless!
(also: i don't enjoy actual low-class porn in this thread, but those are my overeducated/underpaid sensibilities which can't be universalized)

I read an article once about a man who is sexually around by cars and he liked to have sex with the exhaust pipe, but that doesn't mean that autotrader is a porno mag just because somebody can manage to jerk off to it, regardless of their social background.
Anyway, it's one of those vague art questions about where you draw the line....I'll have to think about this later, or I'll be late for dinner with the mother of someone you think is awesome.
