  • really missing that ‘anonymous’ feature…

    “I wonder why you think that feminist porn isn't your thing.”

    I got to see some at a film festival a few years ago. It was too ‘respectful’ and tame to me. I ended up snickering a lot. I think there was a Pirate involved in one of the shorts. For sure there was lots of soft lighting. It just wasn’t my scene. But I don’t expect everything to be exactly my cup of tea.

    “I do think porn does shape the way men and women see sex.”

    I do agree with that statement. I just don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. It can be – but you could say that about any segment of the media: Fox News has shaped lots of people in a bad way, but before we damn all TV we should remember how PBS has been so educational. I think it's live and let live.
