Child of God

"'When I finished up talking to her for that hour and a half ... I asked [her] how [she] wanted to be described,' Arnade remembers. 'She said, "As who I am: a prostitute, a mother of six, and a child of God."'"

Here Comes Trouble

"State regulators cited a Bay Area-based adult film company over workplace safety violations, assessing fines of more than $78,000.

Cal-OSHA opened an investigation into San Francisco-based Kink Studios, which runs a network of sites, in August, in response to a complaint filed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

The foundation's complaint related to a July 31 shoot involving actress Cameron Bay, who tested positive for HIV shortly thereafter, bringing filming in the adult industry briefly to a halt. The complaint said the production involved acts 'considered high-risk for the transmission of HIV.'"

Sneak Peek

What I'm working on:

"I walk towards the gate, thinking about where I was a year ago: undergoing treatment for early-stage breast cancer. By last fall, I was cancer-free. I wasn't sure what to do next.

So, I went to a shooting range, and I picked up a gun, and I discovered when I pretended the target was a malignant tumor, my aim got better.

The gun made me feel powerful. The gun made me feel better. The gun made everything else fade."

Good Ideas

They should rename Party City to Porno City.

Dirty Movies

"How do you feel then about your dad’s legacy?

They realized their dream and then some. But the dream took control after a while. At the end of my father’s life he was really tired of being in porn."

The Creep

"He often played creeps, but he rarely played them creepily. His metier was human loneliness — the terrible uncinematic kind that has very little to do with high-noon heroism and everything to do with everyday empathy — and the necessary curse of human self-knowledge. He held up a mirror to those who could barely stand to look at themselves and invited us not only to take a peek but to see someone we recognized. He played frauds who knew they were frauds, schemers who knew they were schemers, closeted men who could only groan with frustrated love, heavy breathers dignified by impeccable manners, and angels who could withstand the worst that life could hand out because they seemed to know the worst was just the beginning. And what united all his roles was the stoic calm he brought to them, the stately concentration that assured us that no matter whom Philip Seymour Hoffman played, Philip Seymour Hoffman himself was protected."

The War on Women That Wasn't

Reason's Cathy Young interviewed me for a story she wrote on whether or not the internet is "safe" for women.

"Blogger and columnist Susannah Breslin often writes about sex-related matters and readily admits to getting her share of sexually abusive online comments. In an email exchange, she stated that she feels sympathy for feminist writers who have been harassed and threatened, but also believes feminist behavior is part of the problem. According to Breslin, 'Today's feminism by and large defines itself in relation to men. It's about obsessing over how men are keeping women down and about attacking men for all the wrong they do. This feminism promotes reverse sexism.' Moreover, she argues, 'Feminists are the new thought police online, self-appointed cops for what men can and can't say on the Internet. And when you establish that as your methodology, men are not going to respond well.'"
