P.S. Both my girlfriend and I work at strip clubs, and we laughed our heads off at Officer Partidge's diatribe. Brilliant, entertaining, and left me wanting more. Didn't take it to heart, just let it warm ours.

Subject: Lola Green Baldwin Interview.

I hope something is said about the magnificent power women have over men when they are nude and shaking it. In futile defiance, a man will try to verbally degrade a woman who holds court in her arena. The sexual arena is dark, mysterious, ancient and wonderous. Sadly for us all,there are still, mostly white, genteel, handwringing, upper middle class white women who are spouting the same old dead jargon regarding prostitution,and it's exploitive, damaging effects. How can Ms. Greene Baldwin be pro-prostitute, yet not pro-prostitution? That is like being pro cannibal, but not pro-cannibalism. I take issue with her other claim, which went unchallenged on Reality TV (January 7th) when, like The Mad Hatter and her dumpy little dour mouse, she made the claim that pornography=violence against women. What of gay male porn then?

These New Sexual Commissars... as Ms. Camille Paglia, a brilliant educator and writer, says, "since when do we allow snippy little neurotic feminists to run our lives?"

The other point which needs to be stated is these free-associating references to sex are made by often very pleasant, nice, mannerly women. They appear to have all the answers, except, upon closer examination, they quite often don't possess adequate academic training in Human Anatomy, physiology, biology, let alone History. To talk to one of these "intellectuals" you would think that the feminist movement invented rape. I mean, don't we "exploit" a maple tree to get maple syrup. Come on... Lets face it, Men are trying to get in. Into the citadel. Women have the "power" either to deny them entry or allow them in. It would do nothing more than infantalize women, a mysogynist action, to deny them their Birthright, their sexual goddesshood. I for one,am sick to death of these Polly Pure Bred, sexually repressed,highly agendized, unscholarly and sinister women who claim to be helping women to empower themseleves by shutting down their opportunity to flaunt the God Given, awesome, inspiring, sexual power of beautiful women. So what if it is an imperfect industry? What industry is perfect? I don't claim to be an expert on the sex industry,but I know what I know as a sexual creature. It matters not whether I participate, or pay for sexual services, but who am I or anyone else to tell others how to exercise their constitutional right to do so?

Thankyou...

Subject: I Hate Sex

This is Bobbi Jo Schmidt, author of the "I Hate Sex" column. I see that you have changed your editor and that the magazine is going in a different direction now... my column was more along the lines of the old Exotic mag under Jim Goad, so I think I should respectfully resign and let you all get back to what you're really about. Good luck!!!
