- “It’s the kind of porn you would buy in Waitrose,” is how D, 40, described it. He is one of the boyfriends and sometime co-star of Pandora Blake, 29, who runs a site called Dreams Of Spanking. “You’re making the audience into better people?” Zoe Williams asked him. “No,” D replied, “you’re allowing them to be the nice people they already are, and not have to compromise that to watch some porn.”

- Bacchus nails it when he writes about the Guardian porn piece, and I have to give you the whole graf; it’s amazing. “Not only do I agree that the anti-porn feminists (although I cannot use that phrase without wondering how feminist it can possibly be to deny the agency of women who make porn) are looking at the worst porn, but I think the problem even goes beyond that. I think they are looking at the worst porn and then, using empathy, they are projecting their own imagined reaction were they modeling the scene onto the models, of whose motivations, professionalism, and physical skills they are utterly ignorant. I first encountered this made explicit in the notorious “threads swimming in blood in your throat” passage by Andrea Dworkin, who, upon seeing the movie Deep Throat, seems to have re-imagined it as a horror movie based on her own gruesome fantasies of what giving a blowjob must be like. The rest of us saw rather a different movie.”

- The headline was a throwback to 2006. Still, Guardian UK featured a weekend piece on ethical, or fair trade porn, “featuring interviews with the ever-wonderful and intelligent Pandora Blake and Nimue Allen, among others, who work in the medium. This makes it a Good Thing. In the interests, one assumes, of “balance”, there are references to anti-sexwork feminists (SWERFs) Gail Dines and Julie Bindel. The quote from Bindel is curious and worthy of some armchair psychology analysis.”
