Given the slight niche-like interests of diggers…. if only you’d slipped something about legalizing pot!!! :-D

582 diggs and counting. You’re getting more diggs than the news of Brett Favre.

Ms Nughty — agreed. it’s to be expected that they unfairly link to ONE side of the argument/discussion. hopefully someday they’ll grow up and truly present facts and news aside from what’s clearly their MORAL linking opinions/practices. but at least sex-positivity and female self-individuated sexuality made one inroad this entire damn year. it’s more than a cynical girl can hope for these days…

they should hire me for a monthly piece. could you image the traffic, controversy and fun!?

Well done Violet.

Although it’s such a pity that CNN would happily link to anti-porn Pure Life Ministries in that article but not Maria Beatty or Comstock Films.

My name is Claudia Lamb. I produce the afternoon news at KGO radio in San Francisco, the ABC affiliate.

I’m hoping you are available at : pm (PT) this afternoon to discuss why women like their porn, and why they’re reluctant to admit it. There would be a brief Q & A with our anchors, Bret and Rosie.

You can reach me at (415) 216 – 1300, or via email.

Thank you for your time.

Best,

Claudia

First time caller.
My tag team partner likes to ‘bate while reading romance novels. So, is this common ? Being a guy, I would always have to put the book down first.

So now are you going to become someone else with this notoriety. Guest shots
on tv shows. Maybe your own series. Become an advocate in Washington. Make
the Porn biz more Disney oriented. Mix with kings and queens. Champion of
the poor in porn. i enjoy the reads

Well, if porn is finally becoming accepted as not being an assault on women and that women are now permitted to participate in its creation without persecution, how long before women are allowed to have sex in other for-profit ventures without being ostracized by their own sex for doing so? American’s don’t force women to wear burkas, but we do deny them the right to have sex on their own terms, and we throw them in jail for using their bodies to earn a living no different from what a sports star does. I don’t mean to preach, but I will never understand why women aren’t absolutely outraged by laws against prostitution.

I have seen a very large amount of porn over the years but I can definitely say there are more than a few not so good looking guys and even the odd not so good looking girl in it

Yesterday when I saw your Tweet about this on my blackberry, I was about ready to rip a laptop out of some poor commuter’s hands and run to the nearest WiFi hot spot to read it.

At home, far removed from possible assault charges, I was able to enjoy the article. It’s wonderful, and just too cool that it’s on CNN!

Now, excuse me while I check out a few of the sources you mentioned…

haha, thank you! this is amazing in so many ways. the article made #5 on CNN most read today and put Comstock Films (mentioned in the piece) in the lead on Amazon’s indie films list. YAY!

I love my GETV shirt which reads, “I was Internet famous once.” that works for me :)

Always glad to read an article on CNN that is not clueless about porn, and actually advances fact.
