LOS ANGELES – While this post takes up the controversial question of whether adults ought to be allowed to watch porn at public libraries, I’m not going to approach the question as a legal one or as a matter of the free speech. The primary reason I’m not addressing this as a...

NEW YORK – Over the years, I’ve written literally millions of words about porn. Some of those words have appeared on box covers, others have been published on websites. Some have described, in occasionally cringeworthy detail, sex acts that made me throw up in my mouth just a...
