It always makes me laugh when the second most populous nation in the world pretends she doesn't like sex.
First, the government banned a cartoon porn star. Now they want to ban a new internet domain carved out for porn sites.
Brushing quickly past the modern truth that fighting against the right of the people to a free internet is not only dumb but dangerous, the double "duh" moment of this news is that it's an ancient truth that those who want to access porn [cough, men], will. Add to that the constant tussle of personal ideals of individual liberty and constitutionally restricted freedom of expression in a sexually repressed male dominated society that has no single definition of morality and...well, what you've got is a life full of culture war moments when one side just pops.
While some recognize Indian pornography laws are too broad and loosely written for the 21st century, I just have one question. Why does the land of Kamasutra get off on denying pleasure so much?
