For anyone who thought that the fire in Nina Hartley’s perfectly toned belly had gone out after 26 years of doing porn and sex entertainment/sex education…well, I can only say, ‘May the Goddess help you.”
For those who think that the likes of Shelley Lubben can out think, out wit, and/or outlast Nina in a fair fight….well, even the Goddess and God can’t help you on that one.
Last week, Nina gave the keynote address of the 2010 Sex Worker Conference in Las Vegas, hosted by the sex worker-backed Desiree Alliance. Considering that it was nearly 20 years to the day that she was arrested for performing a live sex scene in that very city, she had a lot to say about defending both porn and sex work and defending sex workers from both the political authorities and the social commisars who would put her and her allies/associates down for selling sex on their terms.
And…a few verbal nukes launched at Gail Dines doesn’t hurt, either.
The original speech was first posted to YouTube by sawbuckfilms; they have granted me permission to repost it here…for which I am thankful and grateful. Because of its original length, I broke it down into six segments.
Enjoy, please.
