You're kidding right? What's a woman's version of a porno? A "romance" novel. These things are just as naughty as any porno movie, but it's all in words instead of pictures. Suppose the little kiddies get a hold of those! Yet, they are in most public libraries and no one seems to give a shit about them. Now a porn star writes an autobiography and suddenly we're gaining a conscience over this material? I call "BULLSHIT!"Originally posted by mardigrasBanning a book with nude photos of a porn star would be a bit different than banning a book because of controversial words.

Romance novels generally come with 1 pic, and that is on the front cover and I have never seen one that shows genitalia. Lot's of libraries didn't stock Sex by Madonna even though at least 1 set of "advocates" forced a city's library to stock the picture book chock full of male and female frontal nudity and simulated sex acts.Originally posted by CETYou're kidding right?

The article doesn't say how explicit the pics from Jenna's career or the ones taken especially for the book are, but I would imagine they are not "artistic" ones with palm tree leaves cleverly barely covering nipples and vaginas. Perhaps if the book had a special library edition minus the picture section it would pass the librarian test. The reviews I've read online says that there is explicit and detailed sex talk, so if you think the library should be required to carry it should you be OK with the library stocking stuff like First Hand, a gay book of JO stories which features pics such as men with big cocks in crotchless chaps
I'm not being prudish nor would it matter to me one way or the other if my local library carried the book, I just understand and accept why they would not. There is no "right" to pornography at a public library. If you want to see pics of a naked porn star visit your local adult shop or go online.Last edited by mardigras; 01-07-2005, 05:05 AM..Comment

""""I don't think we should just order (any) books," Holm said. "It should go through a review process, and those books that are inappropriate for children should be in a place where children don't have access to them.""""

No matter what you say, censorship is wrong!
So where does it stop? Let me guess, the shelves of a library should only adorn bibles.

Who suggested that?Originally posted by Paco, of Large Cash.Let me guess, the shelves of a library should only adorn bibles.
Most (if not all) public libraries wouldn't put Jenna's movies out on the shelf, why should an explicit book with pictures from those same movies bypass a library's policy of not stocking porn?
Madonna didn't succede in getting porn into the library and if the photos in the book are explicit Jenna isn't going to either. It's not a censorship thing, it's just common decency. Want porn? It's not censored, it's quite easy to get..Comment

Does the library have a section on sex? In that section is there a book on sexual positions. Or the anatomy of the human body? And what about the art or photography section?

Censorship is absolutely different than burning a book. It was PORN. PORN does not belong in libraries. Keeping PORN out of public libraries is not censorship, it's common sense.Originally posted by Paco, of Large Cash.uh, real nice - at no point did I bring up the Canada-USA 'thing' that everyone likes to bitch about, nor have I ever insulted the US, but go right ahead.

Yes, there are some explicit pictures as are in many other books in the library, in Canada or wherever. Just visit the photography section, let alone the many other areas with 'porn'.
As for 'common sense': not using a hairdryer while in the tub is common sense. Censors denying an autobiography, written partly by a porn queen, the right to sit on a shelf along with many other books is censorship.
Guess I am the only one that believes our industry is not evil and deserves the same rights of many others.
Everyone thinks porn is cool but will anyone stand up for it or try to view it from a fair or equal angle ... apparently not.Last edited by Paco, of Large Cash.; 01-07-2005, 11:51 AM.Comment

Again, that is correct, and the person on the crusade, Holm, has not read the book.Originally posted by RavenThat's what I was thinking, too.
Stating that there was a fine line between Jameson's book being a best seller and porn, Holm, who has not read the book, said she would not support porn and make it accessible to children.
So she classified it as porn with out even giving it half a chance, let alone being fair.Last edited by Paco, of Large Cash.; 01-07-2005, 01:08 PM.Comment

It's been a while but the last photo books I looked thru weren't explicit in any sense of the word and rarely showed genitalia if at all.
I'm not saying she has a bad book. I'm saying it's one I don't think should be in a public library. I think a lot of stuff shouldn't be in a public library, and it's not. That's just MY opinion. My ideas changed a lot when I became a father 17+ years ago.Comment

I've pointed out that you don't know what censorship is. It's unimtelligent people like you in our business that will one day being its undoing.
Not being bright enough to understand the difference between keeping pornography out of the hands of children and censorship will one day get you in trouble. Today it merely got you laughed at.
Or are you advocating the distribution of porn to children? is that it?
what is your real motive behind your wanting to show pornography to children?
is there something about you you're not telling us about?
