Sorta the difference between thinking and talking about something and actually doing it. As such, aledgedly, words and thoughts are supposed to be more "protected". So on the one side, it opens up the possibilities of all the evils of the world in the extreme; on the other side and other extreme, slamming such things becomes the thought police, the Gestapo, 1984 ...

In my eyes just as bad, protected or not.. But you are right as far as to how we think of it, as Americans. Words tend to appeal more to women whereas pictures appeal to men - but when you get into the world of perversions people this sort of material would appeal to ... about anything on the subject matter does it for them. It's an area I personally wouldn't mind losing my first amendment rights in.
