yes it looks pretty good, i am on a 1960's spaghetti western phase at the moment, dont know why, all the films are practically the same, afterwards ill give it a look. Thanks for the recommendation.
"I think that most of the women, and possibly men, who act in porn films would prefer to have a life in which they could have a meaningful, fulfilling relationship, if they had any idea of how amazing that could be."
This would be a subject for research to be done, to see if those in the industry have such relationships about as much as otherwise comparable people outside it.
Did Germaine Greer or others in the piece you cited in the OP have any comments that are relevant to what's been said so far in this thread? You said you would mention such comments as the thread progresses, and I am interested.
If you mean Sex and the City, I think I have seen most parts of that on TV and the first movie - it's fun and has great humour. It may have been controversial in US but not in Sweden.

And, unfortunately, most never will:
Bodies wasted with cheap neon happiness; minds scarred beyond recognition; losers who have lost everything but their names; family affections and expectations frustrated beyond belief. What a lazy, insenitives cluster of decisions for any human being to make. As Robert Frost observed, "Nothing to look back upon with pride and nothing to look forward to with hope".

"The Death of the Hired Man" (short excerpt)
“He thinks if he could teach him that, he’d be
Some good perhaps to someone in the world.
He hates to see a boy the fool of books.
Poor Silas, so concerned for other folk,
And nothing to look backward to with pride,
And nothing to look forward to with hope, So now and never any different.”
It appears to me that the buck stops with parents. Its a parental responsibility to educate ones children, otherwise their view of sex and relationships may become distorted if they get information elsewhere, especially as there are so many conflicting points of view. Its somewhat easier for me because I am a Christian and the Biblical standards are readily discernible and easily defined in terms of what is deemed virtuous and what is not, but for parents who do not profess Christianity or who do not inculcate these values into their children, it must be quite difficult I imagine, for morality is constantly changing and a subjective issue at best and it seems that its left entirely up to schools to deal with it.
With mobile phones its relatively easy for children to access pornography and it appears to me that if this were the basis for evaluating relationships then it does not bode well.

No, it is not difficult at all. And I started long before my son began school.
