Hmm …

… Porn Is Not a Blessing of Liberty | Josh Hammer | First Things. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

At its core, libertarianism misunderstands the human condition. It is inimical to Aristotelian human flourishing. And it ultimately bastardizes the very thing it seeks to prioritize: Liberty, properly understood.
 The word pornography refers to printed or visual material of an explicitly sexual nature. I have usually found it boring because I’m not much of a voyeur.  Activities involving “forc[ing women] to perform certain sexual acts they had declined to do, or they would not be paid or allowed to leave” do not seem to me to fall under that rubric.
