- Clear, yes. OK? I expect the female porn producers might disagree.

- Let me ask an honest question, do you really believe that these three
- (or two) go hand-in-hand, that you never, ever, have one without the

- If it was -only snuff films-, I would agree with you. Otherwise, what
- makes you think so?
