| Message | As the CDA has stated on similar proposals, that it sees relaxation of anti-pornography laws as the beginning of a slide towards decadence, leading to sexual harassment, adultery, unwanted pregnancies and STD's. The existence of image or TV programs about sex implies that sex is normal in every situation. The CDA considers sex to be a private matter, in which mutual love should be the most important thing. Commercialisation and detaching sex from love through pornography and the TV doesn't fit into this view. Sex on television often does not take place in the context of love but of physical pleasure, making it an expression of physical lust rather than love. |

| Message | There shouldn't be any restrictions here. This doesn't matter to the state. On the other hand we are quite pleased with the way it is right now: Hidden cathouses all over the country, big underground markets of pornographic material, criminal companies whose influence on the people grows more and more... this causes chaos, not in the way we want it but at least it causes chaos, and that's not a bad thing. |
