This is the title on an article on p11 of today sReview section of the Guardian. It is written by female porn star Ovidie Becht and makes interesting reading.

A more mixed-up piece of shit I ain't read.
The word she is looking for is 'bourgeios'
'I grew up in an upper middle-class family, and when I began to practise my profession I was a comfortably-off philosophy student newly married to a teacher'


'I should also point out that porn actors often experience no sexual pleasure while filming' (pardon - men don't get erections?)
Interesting...
'I wanted to defend a profession that is unfairly attacked from all sides, shatter the cliches, and make the public aware of a way of thinking that is all too rare in Europe: pro-sex feminism'

'shatter the cliches' - pardon ?
She is a snob...
'I am saddened by the rise of pornography with no artistic merit and the squeezing out of the great directors'

middle-class feminist crap.

Yeah, down with pretentious middleclass bollocks I say. But it is a slight improvement on the usual Guardian, public sector, middleclass sloganeering line of "sex and porn are demeaning to wimmin"

Quite right. Just proves what I've always said, that women shouldn't be allowed into universities (or have access to books, for that matter).

Joe King, you named that tune in one, what a load of self justifying bollocks. And Golostruda, there's a spiritual home for you- The Taleban.

Joe King, you named that tune in one. What a load of self-justifying bullshit. Who is she anyway, anyone heard of her, or are the Guardian making up stories ala the Sport.
BTW Golustruda, i hear The Taleban need some more recruits.

It's like the Statler & Waldorf congress in here (the two old guys on the balcony in the Muppet Show). So what if the girl's guff factor is high? She makes hard-core with the likes of Lisa Harper, you old scrotes!

Whatcha want, Andrea Dworkin? (DP)
