Allison Vivas is the woman running the show. Like me, she's only behind the scenes and not in front of the camera. Unlike me, she's a mom. I was curious to find out about the experiences of another woman on top in this male-dominated game.
Is doing explicit films to pay the bills now seen as a viable and acceptable option? Love it or leave it, porn seems now to be a part of mainstream pop culture. Today, just about everything in the media has sexual overtones, and porn fits right in.
Given Facebook's recent IPO, declining stock value and founder Mark Zuckerberg's surprise wedding -- all of which happened within days of each other -- it's easy to say of Facebook's status: "It's complicated."
The puppeteers of porn are having a field day defining our sexualities for us and they're getting filthy rich in the process.
Shareholders need to take a hit. That way, the ground will be cleared for better managed companies and stockholders will be reminded about the responsibilities of ownership. And central bankers should take responsibility too.
The bar for gratuitous, arbitrary, and generally female nudity is getting more and more extreme while appearing less and less essential. So let's go down the list at both networks, in no particular order, and flesh out a few of the more egregious examples.
What makes feminist porn different, I think, is a commitment to ethical standards. I collaborate with my stars to make sure that they feel empowered by the process; I make sure that they have a say in whom they have sex with and what kind of sex they want to have.
I strongly believe that the debate stirred up over this controversy actually serves to reinforce the profound need to offer these very courses in human sexuality.
Is pornographic material inherently harmful to women and encouraging of violent behaviour in men? Or is it possible to be a socially conscious individual and still make, perform in, and consume pornography? I say yes.
The trouble with creative writing classes in the modern university is they do not teach writing. Pop-cultural analysis, pop-psychology, and pop-philosophy are discussed, while how to write a compelling sentence is not.
I have always found it interesting that some people feel compelled to control the lives of others. These self-appointed morality police believe they are better suited than you to decide what you can watch and what you should think.
A few months back, Ron Jeremy and some immoral ladies were interviewed by yours truly! They are all no doubt Democrats (no Republican would watch such things!) and certainly only interested in fun.
While I don't support some mindless ban on porn, I am deeply disappointed that the left continues to exalt porn as some manifestation of sexual liberation, free speech, or women's empowerment.
Let us give credit where credit is due. A Republican candidate for president finally has come up with a jobs program: policing the Internet for porn. All 50 billion pages of it.
Pornography is a major source of sexual information on the "mechanics" of sex, especially anal intercourse. Although it appears to negatively affect some young men's body image, porn also seems to play a role in setting behavioral expectations.
I am choosing to decide that one guy, looking at porn on an airplane, does not mean that our society decided it was okay to look at porn in public. Then again, what do I know?
