About this Quote

This quote by Ellen Willis speaks with the subjective nature of erotica and porn. It suggests that what is considered erotica or porn is largely based upon individual preference. It suggests that there is no universal standard for what is thought about erotica or porn, which it is eventually up to the individual to choose what they discover arousing. This quote likewise highlights the significance of respecting other individuals's preferences and comprehending that what one person discovers arousing might not be the same as what somebody else finds arousing. Eventually, this quote encourages us to be open-minded and accepting of different sexual orientations.
