Opinion: How the ‘War on Porn’ Became the ‘War on Porn Education’

NEW YORK — Almost three decades after Bill Clinton fired his Surgeon General for merely stating that masturbation “is a part of human sexuality, and it’s a part of something that perhaps should be taught,” the subject of sex ed finds itself once again embroiled in a culture war which, like that 1994 incident, is stoked by sensationalistic press reports.

And one of the targets this time around is Porn Education, particularly “porn literacy.”

Earlier this month, Dalton — a private school in Manhattan — dismissed their Director of Health & Wellness, Justine Ang Fonte, after a relentless campaign initiated by “concerned parents” and then broadcast internationally by the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post and other tabloids.

Fonte was first targeted by the tabloid on May 22 concerning a Zoom guest lecture she gave at another Manhattan private school, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School. Fonte’s lecture at Columbia Prep was titled “Pornography Literacy: An Intersectional Focus on Mainstream Porn.”

Although the headline and slant of the whole report by the New York Post’s Dana Kennedy are deeply judgmental and openly trying to get Fonte in trouble with her employers, their description of the workshop at Columbia Prep seems fairly straightforward:

“The often-explicit slide presentation and lecture by Fonte to the 120 boys and girls,” wrote Kennedy, “included lessons on how porn takes care of ‘three big male vulnerabilities;’ statistics on the ‘orgasm gap’ showing straight women have far fewer orgasms with their partners than gay men or women; and photos of partially-nude women, some in bondage, to analyze ‘what is porn and what is art’.”

The lecture was prepared by Fonte for high school juniors, typically 15-17 and one year away from graduating and attending college courses.

Kennedy also salaciously stresses that she’s seen “some of the presentation” and that includes “a list of the most searched pornographic terms of 2019, including ‘creampie,’ ‘anal,’ ‘gangbang,’ ‘stepmom’ and more.”

She also added that “one slide cited various porn genres such as ‘incest-themed,’ consensual or ‘vanilla,’ ‘barely legal,’ and ‘kink and BDSM’ (which included ‘waterboard electro’ torture porn as an example).”

Kennedy damning tone also permeated Fonte’s discussion of OnlyFans, particularly a slide where a performer clarified, “I identify as non-binary, but because that hasn’t hit the general consciousness of the adult industry, I say ‘girl,’ because that’s what people who want to buy my content will be looking for.”

A Highly Qualified Sex Educator

Fonte has plentiful credentials to teach such a workshop. The 35-year-old has a B.A. in Psychology from UC San Diego, a Master’s in Education in Teaching from the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and a Master’s in Public Health in Sexuality from Columbia University.

Fonte is also very open about her theoretical framework and personal background, with a website that mentions her life experience as a BIPOC woman from an immigrant family, wishing to “disrupt health education for 10 years” by framing her “pedagogy through the lens of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s teachings on intersectionality.”

“I interrogate how our multifaceted identities shape how we experience health,” Fonte writes on her website, which was available to the authorities of Dalton and Columbia Prep when they hired her. “I believe it is the responsibility of comprehensive health education to be about social justice because health is a human right. Through my teaching, I promote agency, activate empathy, fight for equity, embrace one’s authentic self, and navigate care.”

As sex experts go, Fonte’s style of presentation, demeanor, topics, approach and content are far from controversial, as can easily be seen in this YouTube video discussing “destigmatizing conversations about pleasure.”

She has also been open about her approach for years before the New York Post amplified the voices of a few angry parents. In a 2014 interview, Fonte proudly described herself as “the Dalton School’s Health Coordinator for grades 4-12 teaching health classes covering it all from puberty to pornography while organizing sex-positive programs for the school community.”

“I am currently devising a parent workshop series for the Parent Association at my school for grades 4-12,” she enthusiastically told the Center for Sex Education blog. “After conducting two well-attended parent events on “How to answer questions about sexuality” I’ve convinced the administration and the community that this work is relevant!

But The New York Post’s Dana Kennedy used anonymous complaints, supposedly by a student and several “concerned parents” in her May 22 article to attempt to pillory Fonte and ultimately get her fired. She succeeded.

The ‘Critical Race Theory’ Boogeyman

It would be naive not to see Dana Kennedy and the New York Post’s shaming of a BIPOC intellectual who presented a non-shame-based view of porn in 2021 without mentioning as relevant both the current War on Porn and also the current right-wing-media fueled panic over the supposed ideological boogeyman of “Critical Race Theory.”

Kennedy even went out of her way to point out to the New York Post readers that Fonte’s role model Kimberlé Crenshaw “is a law professor at Columbia University and the UCLA School of Law and an early proponent of critical race theory who coined the word ‘intersectionality’ more than 30 years ago.”

Here’s Kennedy quoting her anonymous sources on Fonte’s workshop, which from the slides appears to be a fairly standard, non-shame-based, non-stigmatizing sex education presentation:

“We were all so shocked and mortified” said one anonymous student apparently speaking for “all” and given her impression of a class by a qualified instructor that she did not care for. “We were all like, ‘Why are they doing this? Why do they think it’s OK? We were supposed to answer questions about the porn stuff in the Zoom chat but we were all side-chatting in group chats and tons of kids thought it was so dumb that they sent the link to their friends all over the city and they were all logging on with the password.”

The the also anonymous mother brought up an even bigger right-wing boogeyman: “cancel culture.”

“No one wants to be cancelled or lose their livelihood and that can be done in an instant,” said this anonymous mother who nevertheless got her notions platformed internationally by a powerful newspaper and claiming to speak for a multitude. “Most parents feel the same way I do about not going public but at the same time we’re incredibly frustrated by what’s going on. None of the parents knew this was planned. We were completely left in the dark. It makes us wonder what else the school is up to.”

This disclaimer is both cruel to Fonte and laughable. Anyone even remotely familiar with the dynamics of private education knows that fee-paying parents hold all the power and that the “customer is right” ethos is rampant.

And so, neither that “mother,” nor any of the extremely affluent parents who send their kids to Manhattan private schools “was cancelled” or “lost their livelihood” over the New York Post campaign.

The one person who lost her livelihood? The educated, competent BIPOC woman the “concerned mother” targeted for censure.

Here’s another quote that Dana Kennedy dug up, from another anonymous parent who had nothing to do with the presentation because their kid is a middle-schooler at the pre-K-12th-grade school said: “It’s outrageous that the school is introducing pornography into a mainstream classroom and starting to indoctrinate kids. The goal of this is to disrupt families.”

Warriors Against a Vast Cultural Conspiracy

After making her ideological allegiance clear through her selective quotes (not a single student or parent is quoted who may have approved of Fonte’s seminar), Kennedy spreads her condemnation to “a ‘pornography literacy’ program for adolescents developed in 2016 in Boston through a partnership with the city Health Commission and a Boston University professor.”

Still in full condemnation mode, Kennedy reveals as if it was a huge scandal that “among other things, the early program was designed to teach students that ‘pornography is created for entertainment and generally not for instructional purposes’ and about the danger, say, of texting each other nude photos.”

Finally, Kennedy concludes with a quote from an (again, anonymous) spokesperson for an organization named Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR), who told her that Fonte’s workshop was “part of an orthodoxy that has taken over schools across the country.”

“Millions of kids are being experimented on with a new curriculum that racializes and sexualizes young children, labels them by traits like skin color, gender or sexual orientation and tells them the paths of their lives are determined by those traits,” declared the anonymous FAIR source.

Kennedy did not point out that FAIR is an anti-affirmative-action group that believes in a massive cultural conspiracy to promote “diversity” which must be fought within all American institutions.

In their words: “Increasingly, American institutions — colleges and universities, businesses, government, the media and even our children’s schools — are enforcing a cynical and intolerant orthodoxy. This orthodoxy requires us to identify ourselves and each other based on immutable characteristics like skin color, gender and sexual orientation. It pits us against one another, and diminishes what it means to be human.”

Their board of advisors includes noted critics of what they call “woke culture” like Megyn Kelly, Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan.

Columbia Prep Surrenders and Issues Mea Culpa

After May 22, Dana Kennedy and The New York Post continued their campaign to get Fonte fired.

The story was amended with a followup after publication pointing out that the Columbia Prep head of school, Dr. William M. Donohue, had bowed to the tabloid and the parents’ pressure and emailed the parent-customers distancing the school from Fonte’s presentation.

“The content and tone of the presentation did not represent our philosophy,” Donohue mea-culpaed, “which is to educate our students in ways that promote their personal development and overall health, as well as to express respect for them as individuals.”

“It was unfortunate that we did not better inform ourselves of the speaker’s specific content in advance,” Donohue’s apology continued. “In this case, the speaker did not align with our unique CGPS mission and for this, I apologize […] Going forward we will certainly learn from this experience.”

Kennedy then quoted “one of the mothers organizing the parents’ new social media campaign” who spelled out the real stakes of the incident: “It’s not about this one class. It’s about the whole radical direction the school is going into.”

A Salad of Various ‘Woke’ Panics

Then, a week later, Dana Kennedy published a second attack on Justine Ang Fonte’s pedagogy, taking aim to a class at Dalton where she had apparently discussed masturbation with younger students.

“Dalton Parents Enraged Over ‘Masturbation’ Videos for First-Graders,” the New York Post now headlined. Kennedy was now rehashing a months-old story when some parents had complained about Fonte’s methods.

Kennedy quoted angry parents who had taken objection with Fonte’s way of teaching kids about consensual touch, in a profanity-laden tirade about how much they paid for the school.

Kennedy wrote that “while one mother conceded that teaching the concept of consent can be valuable in protecting children from abuse, another said telling kids that that their own parents or grandparents should not touch them without first asking for permission is extreme.”

“Literally parents are supposed to say to their kids, May I hug you?” a supposed anecdote that Kennedy followed with “one mother said another parent told her, ‘I’m paying $50,000 to these a–holes to tell my kid not to let her grandfather hug her when he sees her?’”

‘We Are Furious’

Now fully conflating a whole salad of current media-fueled right-wing obsessions — “sex education,” “wokeness,” “critical race theory,” “cancel culture” — Kennedy quoted Dalton “concerned parents” ranting full-on about modernity, embodied in the figure of the at-that-point-still-employed Justine Ang Fonte:

“Kids have no less than five classes on gender identity — this is pure indoctrination. This person should absolutely not be teaching children. Ironically, she teaches kids about ‘consent’ yet she has never gotten consent from parents about the sexually explicit, and age-inappropriate material about transgender to first-graders,” said an anonymous parent

“We are furious,” someone else piped in “We were horrified to learn this was shown to our first-grade 6- and 7-year-old kids without our knowledge or consent. But it’s so hard to fight back because you’ll get canceled and your child will suffer.”

Again, the only person who suffered a cancellation of her livelihood at the end of this whole charade: Justine Ang Fonte, the BIPOC woman with the actual qualifications to teach non-shame-based sex education.

Kennedy’s article then got picked up by the right-wing echo chamber. Suzanna Bowling, a Manhattan blogger with no visible qualifications on public health or sex education, took Dana Kennedy’s reports and amplified them saying the quiet part out loud: “Who Is Justine Ang Fonte and Why Are We Letting Her Near Children?” she headlined, lambasting the sex educator for supposedly “grooming our kids to be dysfunctional [regarding Fonte’s presentation about LGBTQ+ youth], to allow [sic] pedophilia and teach it is ok if you consent as an underage child? We need to wake up and see what is being taught to our kids before it is too late!”

On June 12, the New York Post and Dana Kennedy declared victory: “A teacher who taught controversial sex-education classes that included cartoon videos on masturbation for first graders at the posh Dalton School has resigned, The Post has learned.”

The school tried to whitewash the removal of Fonte as “a resignation” claiming that she was leaving having “helped to develop an exemplary K-12 Health and Wellness program. Dalton — our faculty, staff, administration, and trustees — continue to stand firmly behind this program and those who teach it.”

The New York Post then dogwhistled the victorious, notably uncancelled and unharmed, “concerned parents” by boasting that “Fonte is the third high-profile Dalton staffer to leave the school this year as the school struggles with a simmering conflict between the faculty and parents over its progressive agenda.  Domonic Rollins, the school’s director of DEI, (“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”) left in February to “pursue other opportunities,” the school said at the time. [Jim] Best, Dalton’s headmaster for the past 3 years who has been with the school a total of 16 years, announced in April he was resigning.”

Another Qualified BIPOC Woman Hounded by Right Wing Voices

The sight of a qualified BIPOC woman being hounded out of a public health job by paranoid right-wing culture warriors should immediately bring to mind that shameful incident in 1994 when Bill Clinton removed the country’s first Black Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders for daring to point out that masturbation existed and maybe should be part of sex ed curricula.

The non-stop criticism of Elders by Rush Limbaugh and his army of “dittoheads” was also fundamental in eroding her position, which made her at the time a pioneer in having a more frank conversation about formerly taboo topics like marijuana use and sex. Many of the attacks against Elder also featured dogwhistles about her condition as a BIPOC woman.

This is how Newsweek described the Elders firing 22 years later:

“At a 1994 United Nations conference on AIDS, Elders was asked if she thought teaching children about masturbation might reduce unsafe sex. Yes, she replied, “I think that is something that is a part of human sexuality, and it’s a part of something that perhaps should be taught. But we’ve not even taught our children the very basics.” The conservative outrage circuit erupted, and Clinton promptly asked her to resign.

In ‘Sticky: A (Self) Love Story,’ a new documentary that takes the revolutionary stance that touching yourself is not a cause for moral repulsion, Elders defends her position. “I felt it would reduce unintended pregnancy and reduce disease,” she says. (She was saying that schoolchildren should learn that masturbation is natural and common—not that they should be taught how to do it, she later clarified.)”

“The tragic firing of Dr. Joycelyn Elders helped inspire the making of this movie,” Nicholas Tana told Newsweek in the last months of the Obama presidency. “As a modern nation, we still suffer from more teenage pregnancies and STDs than most any other modern nation in the world.”

And Elders, Tana continued, “was fired by the same president who felt it appropriate to insert a cigar into his intern Monica Lewinsky’s vagina! I would be willing to bet proper sex education would have more appropriately prepared Bill Clinton for his position of power. Now Bill Clinton is campaigning next to Hillary and I’m appalled.”

The 2016 Newsweek writer was being cheeky that it’s a “revolutionary stance” to see masturbation as not shameful. But one Trump administration and several years of evangelical/conservative triumphs at the state level and in the Senate later, the expression seems much less jokey.

Turns out it is still very much a revolutionary stance to attempt to teach porn literacy or masturbation, or the destigmatization of sex and sex work, at the time when the War on Porn — fueled by right-wing outlets like the New York Post but also by supposedly liberal or progressive sources like the New York Times or The Guardian — dovetails into the War on Porn Education.

Meanwhile, at the New York Times

Over this past weekend, the New York Times published an opinion piece by Peggy Orenstein headlined “If You Ignore Porn, You Aren’t Teaching Sex Ed.”

“Parents often say that if they try to have the sex talk with their teens, the kids plug their ears and hum or run screaming from the room,” Orenstein editorial begins. “But late last month, those roles were reversed: After a workshop for high school juniors at the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School promoting critical thinking about online pornography, it was parents who flipped out. Some took to the media — The New York Post, Fox News, The Federalist and other like-minded outlets jumped on the story — accusing the school of indoctrinating children.”

But instead of denouncing the campaign against Fonte or addressing the actual shaming campaign that got her removed, Orenstein made a mild general suggestion that “refusing to discuss sexually explicit media, which is more accessible to minors than at any other time in history, won’t make it go away.”

“Curiosity about sex and masturbation is natural: good for girls, boys and everyone beyond those designations,” Orenstein continues, again without addressing the War on Porn Education or the mainstreaming of the notions of religiously inspired groups like Exodus Cry, via their ally Nicholas Kristof, by the very New York Times that publishes her.

“Adult porn use is a different conversation,” Orenstein protests. “One could also debate the potential for sexual liberation of ethically produced porn, queer porn or feminist porn, but those sites are typically behind a pay wall, and most teenagers don’t have their own credit cards.”

And then, of course, she gets to familiar anti-porn talking points (of the supposedly “feminist” variety), which invisibilize all of queer sexual expression, or the fundamental role of it in LGBTQ+ coming out processes. “The free content most readily available to minors tends to show sex as something men do to rather than with women,” Orenstein proclaims, channeling verbatim virulent anti-porn crusaders like Gail Dines or Laila Mickelwait. “It often portrays female pleasure as a performance for male satisfaction, shows wildly unrealistic bodies, is indifferent to consent (sometimes in its actual production) and flirts with incest.”

Orenstein even quotes that methodologically meaningless “2020 analysis of more than 4,000 heterosexual scenes on Pornhub and Xvideos, 45 percent and 35 percent, respectively, contained aggression, almost exclusively directed at women.”

Dreaming of a Liberal, ‘Ethical Porn’ Utopia

After continuing along these lines for several paragraphs, Orenstein concedes — as Kristof did also in passing — that “to be fair, though, mainstream media use is associated with many of the same beliefs and behaviors, so even if you could block all the triple-X sites on the internet (and good luck with that), it wouldn’t be enough.”

But then, like Kristof, she brings it all back to the porn, because why address complicated internet-wide moderation issues when you can bring up again and again “what the dirty, dirty pictures are doing to our poor cis boys and girls”?

After a series of essentially “I just want to make sure you know that I also consider porn extremely objectionable, even though I evidence zero knowledge of the adult content being produced in 2021” statements, Orenstein finally arrives to her defense of “porn literacy.”

“Porn literacy,” she writes, “may sound salacious, and it certainly makes for sensationalist headlines. But like other media literacy courses (including those aimed at reducing teen use of tobacco, drugs and alcohol or offsetting damaging messages about body image), when they’re done right, the aim is to reduce risk, help identify and question the incessant messages that bombard teens, encourage them to hone their values and give them more agency over their experience.”

“Honestly? I’d rather we didn’t have to talk to kids about explicit media, and I wish pornography weren’t, for so many, their first encounter with human sexuality, that it didn’t arrive so early to hijack their imaginations with its proscribed fantasies,” is her conclusion.

And while Peggy Orenstein wishes for a liberal, more chaste, NPR-ready utopia that will never come, in actual reality the War on Porn continues raging on — and another well-meaning, highly qualified BIPOC woman lost her job, thrown under the bus by supposed “progressives” under right-wing pressure.

Sabrina Night Center of New NFT Collection From xxxNifty

LOS ANGELES — Adult non-fungible token (NFT) platform xxxNifty.com has announced the pending drop, later today, of an all-new collection featuring brand ambassador Sabrina Night.

A rep noted the “bodaciously busty, flame-haired Eastern European starlet” will be the center of five limited-edition verifiable assets to debut “on the platform’s newly-updated website, now augmented with a slick and polished UI and layout for a better online experience.”

The rep added that Night’s digital works of art are unique in that they can be traded on the blockchain in the same manner as physical items while still holding onto their authorization of origin.

“I’m very excited to join xxxNifty and be able to step into the future of content creation with them. I just finished working on my first NFT drop, and I can’t describe how excited I am to present my creative approach towards erotica. Turning porn into art has never been so satisfying,” enthused Night.

“The crypto market finally gives us same rights as artists and creators like mainstream media had for decades — not only by giving us artistic and creative freedom,” she added, “but also by paying us royalties, which is groundbreaking for our industry.”

As a brand ambassador, the rep explained, Night is able to “utilize existing media or create new content to release as an NFT for fans to enjoy — that is, if they can get their hands on it in time. Last week’s Cali Carter NFT sold out in ten minutes, so we have very high hopes for a similar success story with Sabrina.”

DomTheNation Releases ‘Journey to the Center of Submission’ With Rory Knox

NEW YORK — DomTheNation.com is touting the release of “an epic, multi-part domination and submission documentary” starring newcomer Rory Knox and starting with “Journey to the Center of Submission.”

DomTheNation is described by a rep as “the new flagship BDSM website from the company behind Assylum.com.”

“Shot over five days primarily at a vast private compound in the southern United States, the documentary is expected to be split into four major titles as well as several interstitial clips,” the rep explained. “This first film follows Rory as she crawls in bondage through an outdoor labyrinth, submitting to various challenges placed by her Dom, Neil.”

Neil, aka Lawrence Neil, is also the producer for DomTheNation, and explained that Knox was picked for the project after “making a strong impression” during their pre-booking interview process.

“We are always extra-cautious about new people,” Neil explained, “but Rory made an immediate and lasting impression with her unmistakable self-awareness, exceptional communication skills and powerful passions for kinky sex and filmmaking.”

“In our final interaction, I was dominating Rory and fucking her ass outdoors by a pond. We had a projector screen set up, with a projector connected to her laptop computer,” he continued. “As she was getting fucked and dominated, she created a graphic art work that displayed her evolving mental experience in real time on the screen.”

Rather than end with a cumshot, added a rep, the action ends “with Rory standing by the screen and presenting her art to Neil and the site’s members.”

“All of the content in the series was shot spontaneously, within pre-agreed boundaries, and with no scripts, takes or substantial breaks,” the rep said.

The goal, according to Neil, was to “document authentic interactions, out in the beauty of nature, where the participants can feel inspired to explore and express both their sexuality and their higher minds in novel ways.”

This goal was “fully met with Rory,” said Neil.

The starlet added her enthusiasm.

“Submitting myself completely over our five-day journey brought me to a place of liberation through an exploration that I wouldn’t know where I’d have gotten otherwise,” Knox offered. “I uncovered depths of myself that will be invaluable to me moving forward.”

MindGeek Calls Criminal Allegations in Civil Suit Over Third-Party Content ‘Absurd, Reckless’

MONTREAL — MindGeek has responded to the massive civil lawsuit filed yesterday by a group of attorneys, headed by a former lawyer for Donald Trump and Jerry Falwell Jr. on behalf of women whose videos were uploaded onto Pornhub by third parties, by reiterating their commitment to “eradicating illegal content” and by having implemented earlier this year “the most comprehensive safeguards in user-generated platform history.” 

MindGeek responded to the lawsuit yesterday through a statement to CBS News, who published a fully reported piece on the very same morning that Michael J. Bowe and the other attorneys for 34 plaintiffs filed it.

MindGeek called the lawyers’ allegations that it is not a business but a criminal enterprise — which repeatedly refer to fictional pop culture movies about the mafia stating that the adult business is “like the Sopranos” and calling its executives and investors “the bosses” — “utterly absurd, completely reckless and categorically false.”

MindGeek told CBS that the company has “banned uploads from unverified users, eliminated downloads, expanded our moderation processes and partnered with dozens of nonprofit organizations around the world, steps that surpass those of any other major platform on the internet.”

Bowe: The Porn Industry was ‘a red light district’

The CBS News report, which includes both video and print versions featuring extensive interviews, appears to have been prepared with insider knowledge of the lawsuit’s content and allegations. It prominently features accounts of women reporting that videos were made when they were minors or unable to consent and then uploaded online by third parties, with Bowe trying to argue the women are thereby victims of “sex trafficking” by Pornhub.

Section 230 shields companies from most liability for third-party content uploaded to their platforms, but the “trafficking” language suggests Bowe may be trying to invoke the FOSTA/SESTA exception to the so-called “first amendment of the internet.”

CBS News also says Bowe insists that “his goal isn’t to ban online pornography, but rather, to force it to comply with regulations.”

“This case is not about porn, it’s about rape,” he said “This is a legitimate industry that consenting people have every right to participate in. It just needs to be done legally and not with illegal content.”

Bowe explicitly said that he considers the “traditional porn industry” to have been a “red light district” (i.e., segregated from “non-porn”) before the advent of tube sites, and that he wants to take it back to that situation.

Bowe has not explained how he intends to segregate this virtual “red light district” from the rest of the internet or, more crucially, who would make the decision of which content is considered “pornographic” and thus blocked-off into this imaginary, virtual “wrong side of the tracks.”

A (Rare) Accurate Mainstream Characterization of Mickelwait and Exodus Cry

Unlike the sensationalistic New York Times article by Nicholas Kristof that began the current onslaught against MindGeek and Pornhub, and the several pieces that followed in the mainstream media that echoed its lack of contextualization about the religiously motivated War on Porn, CBS News actually included this important factual information.

“Some of the victims in the lawsuit told CBS News they joined after they discovered their non-consensual videos on Pornhub and reached out to an activist named Laila Mickelwait,” the report states, correctly characterizing her. “In 2020, Mickelwait founded a campaign called Traffickinghub which started a petition to ‘Shut Down Pornhub.”

Traffickinghub, CBS News continued, says it’s “powered by” a religious organization called Exodus Cry, which has been criticized for its efforts to criminalize parts the sex industry and abolish pornography altogether. On its website, Exodus Cry advocates for laws to ‘end the sex industry’ and ‘reduce the demand for commercial sex.’”

This is relevant information given that Mickelwait has vocally hailed Bowe’s activities, and that activist journalists like Kristof in the U.S. and Alexi Mostrous in the U.K. all participate in a Twitter echo chamber saluting each other for their anti-Pornhub efforts.

Lawyer Calls for ‘Oversight’ of Porn Industry

But Bowe still claims that “this is not about pornography” and claims MindGeek “skirted rules that have long been in place to protect actors in the ‘traditional’ porn industry, which requires producers to verify the age and identities of the people featured in videos.”

“The online porn industry has essentially been the ‘red light district’ of commerce,” Bowe said. “This new industry of online porn, for the last 10 years, has been allowed by law enforcement, government entities, to operate by a different set of rules. Basically, no rules or oversight.”

Bowe apparently did not explain to CBS News what he means by “oversight,” or whether the government or the state should be in charge of it, or which branch of the government or state, for that matter. He has also not stated who would be in charge of deciding how to separate “this new industry of online porn” from any other kind of online business.

Dink Flamingo Returns to Active Duty as Director, Producer

LOS ANGELES — Notable producer-director Dink Flamingo has returned to Active Duty, the military fetish brand he founded more than 20 years ago.

His first new “recruit,” sandy-haired hunk Sebastian Woods, was introduced last month and will make his hardcore debut July 11 paired with fan-favorite performer Jaxon, who last appeared onscreen for the company in 2015.

Flamingo founded Active Duty in 1998 and ran it until 2014, when he sold the company to Gamma Entertainment; four years later, he returned to producing and directing with AmateurStraightGuys.com, a property he’d purchased in 2010.

Active Duty itself received a brand revamp last year; the company is run by Next Door Studios and is part of the BuddyProfits network.

“Lately I started reminiscing about my days at Active Duty and I wanted to get back in the action and behind the camera,” Dink recalled. “I reached out to the crew at Active Duty and offered to share some of my most recent recruits. It’s been great filming again and I know Active Duty fans will be excited with the guys I’ll be introducing in the coming months.”

“My mission when I started Active Duty was to create a safe place where real military men could explore their sexual fantasies without the reality of the hyper-masculine constraints of their daily life while simultaneously turning what was once only fantasy for those who loved, admired and lusted after them into reality,” the director explained. “Looking back, I really feel I accomplished that mission. Now, without the headaches and stress of ownership, I can focus on what I love and what I am best at while Next Door and BuddyProfits focus on what they are best at.”

“It’s really a win/win for all involved,” he added.

Executive Producer Jeremy Babcock noted “members love Dink and have expressed for years how much they would love to have him back.”

“We were excited when Dink reached out to us about returning to Active Duty. He has the magic touch for recruiting military guys and allowing them to feel comfortable exploring their sexuality on camera,” Babcock said.

The rep noted “new recruits to be introduced this summer include newcomer Thomas Woods, Josiah and James, with more to come as Dink keeps his eye peeled for fresh soldiers.”
