To be totally honest, my test is whether or not I feel self-conscious about watching something.

OTOH it's fun to read surgery textbooks or watch videos of surgeries on aircraft. Some of those videos, when viewed from a distance, have an odd "is that porn?" look to them.

I talked about kissing, not sex. I was talking about acts viewed in public, not portrayed, depicted, etc. in public. I certainly hope you have not seen genocide first hand.

Quite possibly.
