Nina Hartley Quote

The Sexed Podcast interview with Liz Godlwyn (author of “Sex, Health and Consciousness”) Nov 2018

Nina Hartley: Other people drift in and out because they don’t know where else to go. Other people get married, but I’m a lifer. Sex is my subject. And so, in our culture, if you make sex-art, it’s called pornography because we don’t value sexuality enough to let the great artists handle it. But sex and passion and pleasure are equally worthy of artistic endeavor as love and death and war and allegory and the Bible. Each culture gets the pornography it deserves because the explicit material we put on screen is a reflection of culture, not an engine of culture, even though some younger people may disagree with me on that one.
