It's casual conversation with a close friend or intimate partner. It's not a "group discussion" topic for coworkers with varied backgrounds. I come from a very liberal, non-christian European background and the experience of discussing what kind of pornos I watch in my private time with a boss is getting frighteningly close to a circle jerk.
EDIT: then again circle jerks are more common in some places than others.

- skj 12y agoActually it sort of is. It sounds like you might be a problem.
- JDiculous 12y agoYou're imposing your personal conservative standards on others. What if I told you that you can't talk about rap music because it offends me? That'd be incredibly arrogant. I think the problem is you.
- skj 12y agoNot all issues are equal. Porn, in particular, has a lot of history of abuse of its participants and objectification of a large class of people. Rap music is a genre. If you said "rap music that talks about running around murdering police officers", despite the fact that no police officers were murdered in the making of that song, it would probably also be offensive.
- EliRivers 12y agoWhat if I told you that you can't talk about rap music because it offends me? Do you mean ever, or do you just mean to you (or in a group conversation in which you are taking part)? Because the latter would be absolutely fine. You don't want to talk about that, no worries. I won't bring it up. What's the problem with that?
