| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | ![]() This episode is such a refreshing treat for the likes of me. I am equally sick of the "Linda Lovelace is full of lies/feminazis!" narrative as I am of the opposing "Linda Lovelace exploited by evil pornographers/forced to do porn at gunpoint!" one. The narrative provided here is fair, balanced, and generous. It's also actually informed, with evidence and examples (!). Good stuff. It deserves a wide audience. |

The Sven episode is pretty disturbing so far, interested to see where it goes. |

| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | Just yesterday, the newest podcast Jerry Butler: Young, Wild, and Wonderful. Also included is an essay on RAW TALENT written by Heather Drain. Last week, the podcast was Sharon Kane: 'History Should Be Remembered for as Long as it's Needed.' ![]() Also, a nice article covering the Al Goldstein memorial. |

They walked on the moon on July 20, so it's possible that he was talking about the cover printed the morning of the big event.") |

| CummingLinguist All-Star Member 5908 Posts 11/11 | She writes a lot, and wants to make a screenplay of her life. Unfortunately, Hollywood would rather tell one side of the Linda Lovelace story than deal with nuance. It's hard to even decide where you would focus a 100-minute screenplay. To the degree that the interview offers a character arc, it's "learning to live with manic depression". But it would be to easy to adopt well-established tropes about porn moguls taking advantage of vulnerable girls, and that was not the story that Serena was telling. |

| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | I actually really liked the Hodas podcast in particular as the business side of things needs to be documented as well, the shock of recognition when he mentions hooking up with Bob Wolfe, so many early performers stories start with his loops. I assume he's passed away? He must of been interviewed by someone along the way. Edited by - BlackSix on 8/27/2014 7:52:31 AM |

| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | A friend of mine who doesn't know much about porn but supports sex worker rights watched the documentary that featured John Leslie prominently and she admitted to being surprised at how charming, 'normal' and happy he and his wife seemed.

| CummingLinguist All-Star Member 5908 Posts 11/11 | Please consider donating in this holiday season. If porn stars earned 1% of the respect we give to mainstream actresses, she could retire on the royalties from her porn career. Since the world is as it is, those of us who enjoy porn need to show our appreciation to the people who bare themselves for our pleasure. ![]() [invalid URL removed]Kay's website. |
