I think she makes some valid points. Although I remember seeing porn as a child way back in the 50s...so it was always there.
I think the the point about the arms race for more extreme material is valid. A point made by others on this board about the lack of imagination in most porn.
I was watching Ang Lees LUST CAUTION and I was struck by the fresh new way he filmed very strong sex scenes.
I think if the industry approuched the erotic with more intelignence and imagination it would be good for busines, break out of a porn getto, and also win support in academia.
I think the eyes, hair and face can be as erotic as a pussy being fucked. Creating atmosphere and mood cound be and good way to go. Otherwise we are going to need models with more orofices !
