Hi, my name is Ana. I am physically incapable of bearing children, and I don't enjoy being around other people's children. I go weeks at a time without even seeing children. Quit justifying censorship on the grounds that your hypothetical children will somehow be hurt by me reading a gorram book.

Hm. I'm a mother of young children. I sometimes read erotica, generally m/m erotic romance. I don't want my young children reading erotica only because they're too young; it's age-inappropriate for an 8 and 11-yo. When they are older they get to make their own reading decisions, and that is something I hope they'll ease into as they get older but I doubt I'd be shocked if I find out that, say, my son looks at some sort of porn or my daughter reads an erotic romance sometime in the next 5 years, and I hope to heaven they have enough discretion that we never have to talk about it).
