No, I get you. Make a loose enough definition of sex and this is porn. You and I are have pornographic sex, because we are stimulating each others intellects. Our talk is sex and perverted. Oh, it is so hot. More!
It's like DeSantis signing the "don't say gay" law with young kids standing right by his side. It's nothing short of "do as I say but not as I do" nonsense.

@Kenny Quantifying it as a numerical value, how much spiritual damage is inflicted upon a child by glimpsing The Statue of David's peepee? Also, by what percentage is it reduced by reaching adulthood?

Wow....thanks for taking me back to my younger days, growing up in a fundamentalist Church, where everything was taken hyper-literally and the "church leaders" seemingly had no capacity for abstract thought and creativity.

It's like the time when I was rehearsing a short guitar part for the Christmas play, and during a break I.....gasp....played a G chord a bit loud and they all freaked out, shouting "This is the house of the Lord! This is the house of the Lord!", as I stood there with a baffled look on my face saying "it's just a chord".
Thank our lord you didn't play a tritone.

I'm not about to allow fundamentalists to be the ones to determine what is or isn't "porn". The case of the statue of David shows how that goes.
Okay I’ve heard about this, but I thought it was just a meme at first.
Are they really trying to pull a Simpsons over in Florida (??) and ban The Statue of David?
Which is humorous since, if I recall the episode correctly even Homer, the lovable dumb one of the family, was happy that the school was forcing kids to go see it.

Yep, that really is happening. The Puritans are on a moral crusade again.

In fairness, we do call guitars stringed instruments and g strings are traditionally not allowed in churches uncovered.

What makes something pornographic is intention and lasciviousness. Michelangelo didn't have lascivious intent when he made his masterpiece David. David is an expression of aesthetic beauty.

Yep. Now Debbie does Dallas had intention and lasciviousness. Its definitely pornographic :p
