Ethical Non-monogamy.

I've always participated as just a single guy. But I've been with women in open marriages or partners and open relationships, or with couples.

While I'm looking for a long-term partner, I'm not looking to share them. Though although I mean talk to me after 10 years of being in a monogamous relationship and that may or may not change.

There are a ton of ENM people on some of the apps here and there are apps just for that.

Most ENM women I've been with are in longer term marriages, or used to be, and want to be more free post divorce.

I already knew you were pretty twisted but man you are twisted worse than I thought.

I'm not endorsing all porn. Mainstream porn has a lot of negative effects. But not some amateurs having some exhibitionist fun. And the way you demonize sex is absolutely horrific for the human condition.

Between being a gun nut an evangelical about sex, I'm not sure what's so progressive about you anymore.
Only that the answer to gun violence and good sex is spiritual in the way that spiritual awakening, real progressivism can only understand. You picture yourself on the progressive side of politics and others backward and puritanical, not seeing that I am not on that spectrum. My understanding is woke, third way and invisible to you. I just reached out of what is dark for you and tweaked your ass to give you another chance at hearing what you can’t explain. Nothing wrong with sex or guns but except that created by your misunderstanding. Love is sweet. Porn is the sickness that comes when self respect is lost and replaced by grinding need. “Fuck my brains out. It feels so good.” LOL

That's no the argument I see, the argument I see is "did someone maliciously distribute this with the specific intent of harassment?". Whether it's available (widely? IDK, how widely available are these porn livestreams, I have no knowledge in this arena...) outside of that wouldn't strike me as relevant in whether or not someone violated the revenge porn concept.
I guess my thought is it's already distributed, pointing out that it exists isn't redistributing.

I guess I could see a claim if someone started selling/memifying pictures of her sucking dick or something.

You attacked me for talking openly about sexuality and how religious rigidity has fucked humanity up with making sex so sinful and taboo. It is the root cause of so many problems in our societies, all over the world. And a major reason why misogyny is still so powerful. If you want to support that mindset, by all means, I'll call you out.

-Yeah, isn't this one of those things you game out before running? No way this is some halfwit kneejerk reaction, it's a contingency her campaign would have had to have planned.

So I have to assume playing the "they're trying to silence me" card was the plan all along.
Stupid response to a stupid situation created by stupid people. I'm noticing a theme here.

Imagine being so regressive you think people being in touch with their sexuality is in an of itself stupid.

We have a long way to evolve on so many things.

This is the duality you live in, a world on one hand full of the sexually repressed who are limited by monogamy and those who indulge in sex while having done nothing a outthe repression, the two poles of being sick. As long as you are trapped in a world of dualities, you will never understand the sweet nature of good sex. It will always be contaminated by the dirtiness of self contempt.

I didn’t attack you. I showed you a truth vital for the evolution you claim to seek. Good luck.

Well attacking the idea of healthy human sexuality.

And now you're telling me I don't know what good sex is.

Bro, you gun nuts that think all cities are completely vile, and suppress sexuality, You're a big part of the problem of this country right now.

All those are far right super corrupt and regressive ideals which are only destroying the society.

You are so not enlightened it's not even funny. I'm not saying I'm totally enlightened or anything at all, But you are truly backwards dude.

In anwer to the OP's expressed concerns, her response is a political strategy. Her message is that this kind of information should not be used in a campaign because it's both private and irrelevant. Granted, the private part is a little disenguous since she created it and allowed it to be disseminated. But like I said, it's a political strategy, and the strategy dictates that she not legitimize the issue as a relevant campaign concern by explaining herself.

Whether that is her best strategy or not, not sure. I'd have to mull it some more. Just wanted to make sure you understrand there is thought behind the response.

Yeah, I agree there was thought behind it. I just think it's a poor strategy. I couldn't care less that she did porn, but I do take issue with her claiming victimhood when it really doesn't apply, at least not in the way she is claiming. Revenge porn is a real issue, but this wasn't revenge porn it was porn porn. I personally think she is just undermining people who've actually been victimized.

Gotta love that WaPo is of course respecting the privacy of the Republican operative that provided the info in the first place.

Just as stupid as CRT opposition. Viva Virginia.

Knowing this was a possibility she should have had a plan to confront. Unless this was the plan it's a bad one. Better solution hang your flaws on a lamp post. People would have respected her more admitting it up front.

Maybe free pics for a vote? /s

I said it is not healthy, that porn appeals to something within us that is tied to self hate.
And now you're telling me I don't know what good sex is.
Obviously you don’t know because you claim that something based on the belief in lies is healthy.

Bro, you gun nuts that think all cities are completely vile, and suppress sexuality, You're a big part of the problem of this country right now.
You are the gun nut because gun violence, sexual violence, sexual perversion, and so much more is tied up with the general fact that the vast majority of the population is infected with self hate.
All those are far right super corrupt and regressive ideals which are only destroying the society.
I am saying that when you imagine the issue is the other you suffer the same infection.
You are so not enlightened it's not even funny. I'm not saying I'm totally enlightened or anything at all, But you are truly backwards dude.
Like you, I am expressing what I believe. I believe that when it comes to backward you are projecting.

I am saying that the opposite of repressed sexuality that sees porn as evil is not the so called enlightened sexuality you are defending otherwise we should be training school children to be porn stars. We should be showing them films of us engaged in every manor of porn act. I’m saying you believe that sex is all about glutinous pleasure and I am saying it is a joy that can only be experienced and valued as the loss of separate identity that happens in the tenderness of love.

It wasn't a possibility, it was an absolute certainty. She should have just blown it off (pun intended) and said, yup that's my kink, get over it.
She would lose my vote because of her inability to plan for the inevitable. Stupid.

First time for everything I reckon…
My bet would be that @Greenman is being sarcastic. Every conservative with a large range of moral values will realize instantly this woman is morally sick. No need to do any research. The problem will be that conclusion is reached instantaneously obvious for the wrong reasons. The fascination with porn isn't evil because it says so in some holy book written by sexually repressed men, it is just an indication of a lack of how people act who have sufficient self respect to be able to experience organic shame.

I don't care about what she did one way or another, I consider it harmless, but it's pretty dumb if you did it knowing you wanted to go into politics (or if you were already in politics). Democrats on the whole aren't evangelical nutcases but you definitely hurt your chances in elections. If you did it before even thinking about politics, you'd have to have a good response ready (as others have said) because you know it's come to surface at some point.
