Naomi Wolf on porn
Mostly, when I ask about loneliness, a deep, sad silence descends on audiences of young men and young women alike. They know they are lonely together, even when conjoined, and that this imagery is a big part of that loneliness. What they don’t know is how to get out, how to find each other again erotically, face-to-face.

Great read. NW is a most interesting feminist.
That kinda goes hand-in-hand with the Hugh Hefner article you linked to a while back.
o8oo when are Christians going to get up and speak truth like this dot com?
Or rather rather, why not rejoice that *someone* has the brains to say such things. What a great read Matt. John Cleese once discussed the addictions and effects that “shock” in comedy create; and he warned comedians to use shock sparingly for humour, lest the next dude has to take the shock to the next level. Porn suffers from the same idea and it is brilliant to see a person damning such a thing. Great great link.
May I suggest that this article by NW, the Hugh Hefner one, and this one: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A32799-2003Oct15?language=printer form a great triumverate of insight.
