There are plenty of ways for overcoming an upbringing lacking in physical affection ("hugs", etc.), and none of the sane ones involve building an empire on pornography. Is there any proportion between not having mother's hugs and making every woman on earth a sex object?<br /><br />There's no "longing for intimacy" moving men to use (or produce) pornography, except in the remote sense that the longing for sexual pleasure reflects a longing for sexual union, which CAN BE a means of interpersonal intimacy. It's simply idiotic to say that Hefner's motivation is a "longing for intimacy." One doesn't find intimacy by <I>exploiting</I> one woman and even less through exploiting <I>many</I> women in a series or all at once. <br /><br />Hefner didn't tap into a longing for intimacy: he simply unleashed the lust latent in "prudish Victorian morality."<br /><br />LGLawrence Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242322119143922513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10944560.post-79734595640520510682009-05-12T20:05:00.000-04:002009-05-12T20:05:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link, Jennifer!
