Today Oprah Talks Women And Porn
Today (November 17) is the big day. The long-awaited Oprah Winfrey show about women and porn is due to be aired.
It features Violet Blue, longtime blog friend and advocate of women’s porn. It also has an interview with Jenna Jameson. That bit is to be expected given she’s the big name star but I’m not sure she’s the best example of the way women are changing the industry.
The preview here looks relatively promising but it’s Violet who says that this show will offer an exceptionally positive look at women and porn – something many of us never expected from Oprah. Perhaps the “1 in 3 women look at porn” figure made her realise she needs to cater to a big chunk of her audience.
Unfortunately I won’t get to see it because Australia is behind when it comes to Oprah episodes. I wish TV could just get over these stupid delays and border differences and just give us shows in real time like the internet. We’re world citizens now, dammit!
I’ve just left a comment in the thread for the show. Already there are negative comments from religious women and those who think porn is addictive. I’m hoping the show itself will address these concerns.
Will write more later, if I find a way to watch it.

I wonder if the Censors will let that episode of Oprah air?
