"We're women. We enjoy sex."

About as honest as any other marketing slogan.

Xena, cjshapi just pulled ahead of you by a point.

Imagination, that's the spirit.

The point is that all of the things they are talking about already exist. There have been female-run, female-owned, female-oriented purveyors of sexually oriented merchandise for years, so it's just kind of silly for them to act as if they just invented it.

"female empowered" adult entertainment — the kind with plots, foreplay and cuddling in the afterglow

Oh, yeah, That sounds like fun. Maybe the porn can stop in the middle and the actors can talk about their feelings or where their relationship is going?

I think this is a consequence of female economic clout. Women that have an independent means of support can and will think about sex differently then women who don't have that independence. I suspect this was seen during WWII when you had large numbers of women in the workforce as well. A lot of this reduces to economics. The rest is a function of social mores and morays but they are taking their lead from the economic aspects. Technology (internet, DVD's) play a small role, but a role nonetheless.

I knew a couple of guys in college who started up a live-video internet porn business. They were each making about $500,000 after the first year of business. I wish I'd thought of that, too.

I conceded first.

That means I'm the winner at losing.

You win again.

That means I'm much better at losing than you.

"Women have a voice now — `This is what I want and this is how I want it,' " said Ms. Ross.

Reminds me of good ol' Sam Kinison. "Just tell us, women, tell us! We'll do it! Ah! Aaaaahhhhhhh!"

Hmmm.... Considering general trends in porn-related grooming, I would guess that these chicks say "no to bush."
