I'm not sure what your point is. Mine was that phrasing this as a limitation on the use of your body is an irrelevant misdirection;

Anything that is illegal and requires use of your body is a restriction in the use of your body.

Purchasing, selling and muling drugs is a voluntary trade, and also illegal.

Not in the context of a long and extensive history of efforts to place limitations (often through the use of laws) on what women can do with their own bodies, especially as it pertains to sex. The existence of entirely unrelated acts that have also been outlawed doesn't show that laws prohibiting pornography can't be a continuation of that same tradition of repression and control or that it wouldn't produce the same effect.
