Now a porn star writes an autobiography and suddenly we're gaining a conscience over this material? I call "BULLSHIT!"
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.

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.
