Thanks for the link to the working video. Hmmmm. She *does* make some very interesting points, in between the bits that are odd enough that I am *still* shaking my head. (And between the bits that are just plain scientifically/anatomically wrong.) I think it would be good for young women/girls to get it laid on the line like that, though — there *are* men out there who will really tempt you** to confuse love with great sex, and you really have to have your head screwed on straight to see through it. I also think it would be extremely good for men/boys to be taught that that kind of behavior is not acceptable. Aw, hell! I just think that folks need to learn to respect each other as human beings and stop trying to use people for selfish purposes. I am not going to hold my breath for that one, though. :(
Interesting vid. Worth the watch.
**”Tempt” in the sense of persuading you (through words or actions) to ignore the little warning signs in your head that tell you when a guy doesn’t actually respect you. But the sex is so damn GOOD!!
I would suggest that you give the video another, more critical, viewing. There’s a lot about it that isn’t great… she seems to think that the only “good” use of sex for a woman is to acquire resources.
Not to mention her… unusual ideas about human physiology.

The video does not play.
It seems to have been taken off YouTube. But damn, it was awesome. Penis power!
I loved how she said penis like it had three syllables. “Peahnuss.” Makes me believe it!
And if someone doesn’t come along with a Zardoz reference I’ll be upset…
Since the video was taken down, would you mind giving a synopsis? I am *curious*, I am! :)
You can see it here.
That was a whole lot of crazy, right there.
Wow. I’m amazed that is on tv. But it’s great. That is how you should teach a girl, just tell it to her straight out.
It is very interesting. I am tempted to send it to my teacher, but he may question why a 15 year old girl is watching it… oh well.
