Anna Span v Gail Dines, anti-porn feminist

[Mysteryman]

The mega industry Dines talks of is very much an American model as opposed to the British model Anna represents.

There may be producers making mega bucks over there and their product may go around the world and influence other countries but the vast majority of porn made worldwide these days is from small producers scratching a living or from amateurs.

Indeed; I picked those mainly because they represent some of the more serious
systematic attempts to turn suppressed sexuality into fanatical devotion.

The belief that the UK industry is worth billions of pounds was one of the misconceptions many listeners may have been left with after the 5Live/Smith show last week.

I was thinking about going on Andy but I felt Anna Liselle and Jerry did quite well.

I'm not sure that show needed another producer who is pro in favour of porn and though I was chomping at the bit to get on I actually enjoyed being a spectator

Damn I just realised we've gone off topic.

This thread is about Gail Dines and Anna Span! Not about the Jacqui Smith Porn doc on the radio the other night.

Sorry mods

Discussion without the occasional digression could be very dull.

The sooner the likes of Gail Dines appreciates that most women have minds of their own, have careers in all sorts of industries that old fuddies may not approve of and stop press! enjoy sex, then the world can move forward.

Work in porn, get paid for getting laid, regular testing versus work 40 hours a week in a boring office job for crap money and maybe get pulled at a club by anyone with anything on a Friday night.

Now tell me who the smart girls are?

Gail Dines says that a lot of girls only last a few months in the adult industry, well often this is exactly what they intended to do just to make some extra dosh to pay their bills, there are loads of single girls who have taken on mortgages they are now struggling with, girls do at least have a moneymaker between their legs whereas all us guys have is a pogo stick !wink!
