March 1999 – I recently spent a day in Hell. I attended the World Pornography Conference (“Eroticism and The First Amendment”) at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Los Angeles.
I was probably the only pro-decency participant at the confab, which drew porn defenders from as far away as Russia, Japan, South Africa and Australia. For eight hours I rubbed shoulders with top obscenity lawyers, the porn industry’s political shills from the ACLU, porn actresses, and academics from major universities, particularly California State University at Northridge (CSUN). The town of Northridge is the world capital of porn video production.
The purpose of the proceedings seemed to be to advance a plan of the $8 billiona-year porn industry – namely, to get the public to accept the now-discredited Prof. Alfred Kinsey’s anything-goes approach to sex as the basis for granting teaching credentials to all sex educators in both public and religious schools.
What these intellectuals said should frighten citizens into action. I first heard CSUN’s librarian as she described efforts to protect the public university’s porn collection. Next, I heard a professor quoting tax-supported researcher Dr. Ed Donnerstein of University of California at Santa Barbara. Donnerstein, who maintains that only violence in porn is dangerous, did not mention the research funding he has received from Playboy and other pornography interests.
Dr. William Griffitt of Kansas State University informed us that porn causes no adverse effects. He cited the discredited, ACLU-dominated Presidential Commission on Pornography (1970) as showing minimal effects from making and using porn.
When I asked about the more recent Reagan-era Presidential Commission that found porn harmful, he dismissed it as politically inspired. He carefully dodged the issue of the link between porn and public health and safety problems such as rape, venereal disease, AIDS, incest, serial murders, child molestation and sex addiction.
He said not a word about the enormous increase in sex-related pathologies since Kinsey, as documented by Dr. Judith Reisman in her book Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences. Dr. Reisman demonstrates that Kinsey’s work is a fraud involving hundreds of sex crimes against children. Griffitt sees Kinsey as a fine researcher, a real contributor to learning and teaching about sex.
A California State University at Long Beach professor told how he brought porn stars into his classroom as guest lecturers. He told us this shields him from direct criticism.
The “legitimate” entertainment industry received praise for its use of erotic images in Hollywood movies since Tinseltown discarded the movie decency code in the 1960s.
And on and on they droned. The research of “sexperts” such as Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and Wardell Pomeroy is being peddled endlessly. It comes from Vern Bullough’s Center for Sex Research, from other Kinsey-spawned sex research and/or teacher credentialing centers.
What about countless academic studies showing direct connection between porn use and sex crimes and disease? None of the scholars mentioned Dr. Reisman’s findings about what they are doing to put children and society in the hands of Kinseyite cranks and their wealthy porn czar patrons.
Did you know that 25% of all videos sold and rented in the United States last year were porn videos? Or that organized crime controls 90% of the distribution of porn videos in America, including those in your friendly suburban video store? Or that the Clinton Administration ended almost all federal prosecutions of porn peddlers? In large measure, you can thank the people at this conference.
The speakers definitely did not bring up Dr. Riesman’s 30 years of research into how the Kinseyan sexology societies and teacheraccrediting agencies have metastasized sex educators into our children’s classrooms through such devices as their Commission on Accreditation.
These supposedly unbiased academics did not want to discuss Dr. Reisman’s chronicle of the damage done by the Kinseyans through the explosion of sex crimes and venereal disease (not to mention AIDS) that has occurred since the 1950s, when obscenity laws were still enforced.
The Kinsey model of loveless, dangerous, anything-goes sex is now the primary model that teachers get credentialed to teach in America’s schools. Parents and taxpayers must de-credential the Kinsey-clone sex educators who are teaching our children that condoms should replace chastity, that lust is better than love.
The damage that the “sexperts” are doing to our boys and girls is no less harmful than that done by Soviet and Nazi educators in the 1930s and 1940s. In those cases, pseudo-science led to the deaths of millions. In our country, venereal disease, AIDS, rape, murder, molestation, incest, sex addiction and the other effects of “harmless” porn are killing the minds, souls and even the lives of countless young people and adults.
A determined citizen can still make a difference. Read up on Kinsey, porn and the sex education industry. Support Dr. Reisman’s R.S.V.P. America program to end Kinseyan sex ed. Join a no-compromise anti-porn group. Educate your clergyman. Call the talk shows. Contact your lawmaker.
It is late in the day. As Dr. Reisman says, it’s high time we pried the cold, dead hands of Kinsey off
our children.
