Personal possession of obscene material, like BDSM stories, in the home may not be prohibited by law. In Stanley v. Georgia (1969), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that, “if the First Amendment means anything, it means that a State has no business telling a man, sitting in his own house, what books he may read or what films he may watch.”
Thank God for that. But remember that this isn’t absolute. What the court may grant, can be taken away and the forces of political correctness are not happy with the freedom you have to read or watch what tickles you. It doesn’t take a genius to see that BDSM stories and sex scenarios that involve force and transgressive sex are despised by the bluenoses and other guardians of public morality. They don’t want you reading dirty books and BDSM stories. A thought, in their mind, is tantamount to the deed and they’d like to regulate such lewd fantasies.
One of the things you can do is to exercise your right to read and watch what you like. So buy a bdsm story today. Or rent a porn movie. Nobody has the right to tell you that you can’t enjoy such entertainment. As a porn writer I’m particularly sensitive to this issue. Every day I see the big corporate media giants hemming us in little more. You would think that Apple and Amazon, founded by men and women of a generation which grew up with such freedom of speech, would be using their clout to extend such freedoms, but the evidence is sadly the other way. Both companies have made it increasingly difficult for a porn writer like me to publish bdsm stories which the Supreme Court of the United States says are not to be restricted. Surprising, isn’t it?
Another of my bdsm stories…
I just published a BDSM story, Your Rent is Overdue! [https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/422491] which is as politically incorrect as you can imagine. It’s a heavy BDSM story about an dominant older man taking control of a young, inexperienced couple. it features whippings, oral, vaginal and anal sex, a gang bang, exhibitions and lots of humiliation. You can read it today, but there’s no guarantee that you will be able to download and read this BDSM story in five years time. Who knows, but if I had to make a bet, my money is on the side of censorship. I hate to admit that, but I see how powerful these political forces are for repression over the long haul. Strike a note for freedom today and read what you like. It may not last for many more years.
