I sometimes compare porn with spectator sports. Watching football is an incomplete experience but censorship of football would probably be harder to sell than censorship of porn.
If you want to continue the football analogy, perhaps the closest thing would be "training films?"

Re: porn is an incomplete experience
Training!
Did you listen to the "training" that young men are training themselves for?
Money shots and what not.
I am so glad I am not young.
And without a sense of humor, possibly.
I thought it was a half-way decent jest.

From your children...
The things you learn from your children ...
Contrary to the theory of evolution, there are things you can inherit from your children.
Like insanity!

Re: porn is an incomplete experience
Where do you draw your lines? How close to 'aboriginal tribes' do you think is appropriate? And why are your lines more valid than those of the puritans?
Any society built on religiously-inspired fundamentalism and repression is FUBAR.
