Let's contrast instead!

"Goon it crazy style" was just to be funny. What's the actual difference in watching porn in public and smut novels if you're not jorkin it and nobody sees the screen?

Not a great comparison--a better one would be reading something like Playboy in public, if the cover were no more "scandalous" than the cover of a smutty romance novel. In this case, other people know what you're doing.

If you're watching a video and no one can see the screen (and you're not gooning it crazy style) then there's no problem, and no controversy--you're being discreet.

Well, we're contrasting.

Essentially it would be less problematic, in your opinion?

If nobody sees the screen, who would be doing moral outrage?

The same people outraging morally in these instances: the online

The sentence was supposed to be funny, too.

Men get visible boners, women don't.

Unless you have a thermal camera, there's no way to know what she's reading (if it's on an e-reader at least)

Men get visible boners

In pretty rare cases (huge dick or no underwear + very thin fabric of pants)

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

TIL I have a huge dick. Or maybe my denim jeans aren't as thick as I thought they were?

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or maybe your boner isn't so visible

I wish that were so...
