Re: Thank you all for your feedback
I guess we will have to disagree on this though I can not see why an R/X rating for a movie about sexual relationships would not be sufficient to make it porn in at least intent.
Um, maybe because it's possible to explore sexual relationships in a work without the intent being to cause someone to masturbate? By your definition, Romeo and Juliet is porn; Othello is porn.
Possibly, we can agree that B&C&T&A is soft-porn?
With little to no nudity? How can it be porn of any kind?

Re: If Bob Carol et al is porn
Midnight Cowboy
Midnight Cowboy, as I recall, is the only X-rated movie to win an Oscar in any category.
It's still not porn, of course. I've seen some pretty trashy movies, thanks to a good buddy of mine who's a big John Waters fan. For instance "Pink Flamingoes", starring female impersonator "Divine" in the tale of a heated rivalry between a fat trashy broad and a cabal of malefactors who inseminate transients to harvest the babies to sell to childless lesbians, all to finance their secret plot to hook pre-schoolers into doing and dealing dope.
And it's still not porn. It's not a movie I'd recommend to the squeamish - there's a lot of sex with/amidst chickens, and a park flasher who's so under-endowed he has to "augment" himself with a hot dog so that he has something to flash - and it does have considerable nudity, but it isn't pornography, that is, it is not a recording of sexual intercourse with the intent to sexually stimulate. The intent is to be disgusting, not titilating.

I wouldn't worry. If he's good enough, Charlie already knows, and he'll explain it to Bob.

Honestly? You're being a humorless crank.
Also? Nobody who knows anything about cryptanalysis is falling for your "multiple personality" routine. Don't make me get all Bruce Scheier on your ass.
