Not just right-wingers.  Plenty of folks left and center have social
objections to that.  (Most of the claimed religious objections on

We live in a society that is very messed-up about sex and that isn't
going to change until people see places that are less so.  The nice

places that are less so.  The bad thing about the internet is that 
it  provides no context.
