Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance QUOTES

1 " We are ALL sexually abused by virtue of the fact that we live in a sex-negative society. "

― Annie Sprinkle , Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance

2 " It is a well-documented fact that pornography as a separate category did not exist until the nine-tenth century, when lawmakers throughout Europe ostensibly sought to protect a predominantly white, middle-class female population from sexually explicit material and - by extension - knowledge of their own sexuality. "

3 " Pornography is like a mirror through which we can take a look at ourselves. And sometimes what we see doesn't look pretty, and it can make us feel very uncomfortable. But how beautiful to take that look, to see (truth), and to learn. The answer to bad porn is not no porn, but to make better porn! "
