Have you viewed any of her videos? Do a search for some of the trailers.. there are extensive interviews with the performers who are sharing how they were involved in the making of the film and how it truly does reflect their sexualities. These are included IN THE VIDEOS, not somewhere hidden away or difficult to find which is actually quite different from what one might consider to be "typical" pornography.

It is so disappointing that "family values" has come to mean anti-sex, anti-choice, conservative, shame-ridden, etc... We need a set of "values" that values ALL families and helps produce people who are prepared for what life may bring them and who are comfortable and confident enough to own their own sexualities and make educated and responsible decisions about their own bodies.

Young people who are just given abstinence-only sex education (usually in junior high/early high school) are NO MORE likely to wait until marriage to have sex, or even to wait longer than their peers. They are, however, significantly more likely to not use safer sex practices and engage in riskier behavior. We desperately need continuing, age appropriate sex education that is factually based and easily accessible. Yes, this should start early on but also be readily available for ALL ages. Thankfully we have people like Tristan Taormino who are providing this kind of education for adults in a safe, open and honest way without shame.
