Actually, people are going to understand, because they'll have grown up in the world of MySpace and cellphones themselves. To a generation still alive, it would be unthinkable to admit in public that one has smoked pot and "read" Playboys, and yet you've just done it, and your career is unlikely to be harmed. That "very sick people" bit gives away your true motivation for these opinions, though.

You are advocating the position that people will be rational about seeing videos that speak to our animal core selves. I don't buy it. Even if people intellectually realize that a stupid sexy video made when you are 18 is no big deal, it will still unavoidably color people's opinion of you, and there isn't a damned thing you can do about it except make sure they can't get that video in the first place.

  If porn speaks to your "animal core self", I envy you. It stopped doing that to me around age 15.

That "very sick people" bit gives away your true motivation for these opinions, though So you're attacking my motivation instead of my comment? Nice. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that there are not very sick people in the world? In addition, you're also saying that people act the same way towards public figures as they would to a close friend? Got any examples of this benevolent social behavior? Because I'm thinking we went about 80 years after the prohibition of pot before we allowed a president who admitted using it. It was accepted practice to deny it, because guess what? People are hypocrites about the way they treat public figures. They always have been that way. Sounds like this is coming as a news flash for you. I'm still trying to figure out what my true motivation is. Somehow I managed to give it away and I don't seem to remember having one (besides curiosity with the topic)
