What's a 'literary' story? Once the story is put to paper isn't it considered by definition, literature?

What about sex as children? Is that permissable? Should we string Stephen King up for talking about children and sex in It ? I'm just curious where you draw the line. Is it illegal if it's inflammatory? If it gets 'people off?' What about Fight Club? No child sex, but it certainly puts some folks' underwear in a bunch. Can we get rid of that too?

Listen, rhetoric aside, it all boils down to this. This deviant urge is going to express itself and is going to need to be released sometime...somehow...somewhere. To be perfectly honest, I'd rather have some potential offender writing the shit and jerking off to it rather than have him out there actually molesting kids.
