Sorry, got a phone call and got sidetracked.

Her "degree" is from The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. I think I could start a "school" like this if I wanted.

You can check it out here:
http://www.iashs.edu/index.html

To the best of my knowledge, she has NO bachelor's degree. If someone has proof otherwise, let me know. I saw mention of her taking some community college classes, but I never found anything saying she ever earned a BS. I also read articles stating outright that she didn't have one. They gave her "credit" for being in porn, I guess. That fact alone is proof in and of itself. If you don't have an undergrad degree, you sure as hell can't get a masters or doctorate.

As for her "PhD", these are the requirements:

Candidates for this degree must meet the following requirements:
1. Acceptance by the Admissions Committee after evidence is shown that the student is capable of doctoral-level professional work in human sexuality.
2. Completion of four trimesters of acceptable graduate work. A maximum of one trimester of transfer credit may be given for prior work and experience.
3. Completion of a Basic Research Project.
4. Passing the Comprehensive Examination.


An absolute joke. But even worse, take a look at what they're talking about-

Four "trimesters", with the option to be given credit for one, if you have prior work experience.

So what's a trimester? I was wondering that myself, so I checked.

Here's this year's Spring trimester:

February 9 - 13: Wardell B. Pomeroy Lecture Series #100 (10:00 - 5:30)
February 14 - 15: Advanced Sexuality #201 (10:00 - 6:00)
February 17 - 18: Attitudes Towards Sex and Disability #651 (11:00 - 6:00)
February 19 - 20: Women?s Group #902 (2:30 - 7:30/11:00 - 4:00)
February 19 - 20: Children and Sexuality #821 (10:00 ? 5:00)
February 21 - 22: Male Homosexual Erotica #950 (10:00 - 6:00)

That's right- a trimester is about 3 weeks. So that means 9 to 12 weeks for a "PhD". Yeah, right.

Tuition is $4,950 per trimester, so if you have an extra 9 to 12 weeks, and $15,000-$20,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you too can have a "PhD"!!!

I'm not even sure she went to the school. Based on an interview she gave, it sounded like she did the doctorate stuff through the mail. You just don't get PhDs in 12 weeks, through the mail. Period.

I'm honestly surprised that she would even have the nerve to ever list herself as having a PhD. Anyone with any sort of formal education (or common fucking sense) would realize that paying some operation $20,000 to grant you a "PhD" is not only completely stupid, but embarrassing.

I don't think she's a "dumb slut". As a matter of fact, from her own words that I read, she seems like she's fairly intelligent. However, like a lot of the girls who work or end up in hardcore porn land, I think she has a screw loose. Reading comments and interviews with her from the last few years makes me believe that she has some serious issues. Of course, just my opinion.

Oh, and one of the first sentences on the IASHS website is-
Note: We now accept Mastercard, Visa and Discover

I think that statement alone, speaks volumes. ;-}
