Women in Porn Debate ‘Wildly Successful;’ Sequel Already in the Works
[Press Release] CYBERSPACE – In the wake of the event, organizers of the online debate “Women in Porn: Shattering the Myths” declared the event “wildly successful” and announced that due to high demand, a second discussion featuring the same panelists is already in the planning stages.
“The response from people who watched the discussion has been tremendous,” said Angie Rowntree, owner of the porn-for-women site Sssh.com and coordinator of the debate. “We received so much positive feedback along with several requests asking that we bring back the same panelists, for another show on the same topic. This event really is just part one of an ongoing conversation – which is exactly what we hoped it would become.”
Rowntree said that while the entire discussion was animated and engaging, the most heated moments came when the panel took up the topics of performer compensation (including whether performers make less for their efforts now than they did 10 to 20 years ago) and the question of how much responsibility the porn industry should shoulder for keeping children from accessing pornography – exchanges that Rowntree said “people really need to see and hear for themselves.”
“That’s what this event was all about – giving women in the adult industry a chance to be heard in their own words,” Rowntree said. “I don’t want to try to paraphrase the great points the panelists made, and the debate is available to watch any time on MindBrowse.com; I encourage everybody interested in these topics to check it out for themselves, firsthand.”
Rowntree added that other live panel discussions, interviews and debates will soon air on MindBrowse.com, including the live broadcast of “An Intimate Talk with Nina Hartley and Ernest Greene”, which is scheduled for August 26, and a discussion entitled “Feminism and Porn: Can They Co-Exist?” slated for broadcast in September. The second edition of “Women in Porn: Shattering the Myths” will follow in October, Rowntree said.
Rowntree says that the goal for MindBrowse.com is to develop into a “TED-like platform for discussion of serious, weighty issues surrounding the adult industry”.
“One of the best kept secrets about our industry is that it is filled with amazing people,” Rowntree said. “I’d love to see MindBrowse.com become a vehicle for people to contribute their perspective on a range of issues, and not necessarily just those that directly relate to the adult industry.”

Join Nina Hartley on Tuesday, December 3 for #SexTalkTuesday
Twitter-based sex chat program Sex Talk Tuesday welcomes Nina Hartley as a special guest moderator for its upcoming show on Tuesday, December 3.
"We are thrilled and honored that Nina will be joining us as a guest moderator on Sex Talk Tuesday,” says Angie Rowntree, publisher of Sssh.com. “She is truly an icon and role model. This is going to be a great!"
Nina Hartley has been a driving force in the adult industry for nearly three decades as an actress, director, sex educator, feminist and author. She has been a tireless, outspoken advocate for sexual freedom and promotes a healthy, sex-positive culture. Ms. Hartley strives to change the negative perceptions of adult entertainment and sex itself, believing instead that porn has the capacity to empower women.
Nina has appeared in hundreds of mainstream and adult movies, including Missing Pieces and Boogie Nights. She has also appeared as a guest on numerous talk shows such as The Phil Donahue Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Nina also produces a no-nonsense sex advice series called “Nina Hartley’s Guides” available at her store on Nina.com.
A fun and provocative Twitter-based chat held every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 4pm to 5pm Eastern Standard Time, #SexTalkTuesday is hosted and coordinated by Sssh.com, the web’s premier destination for erotica made by and for women. Each session, a guest moderator asks thought-provoking questions to a large and active group of participants, who send hundreds of tweets during each round of #SexTalkTuesday. The result is a lively and entertaining discussion that invites participants to be open and candid with their thoughts and opinions on sex, life, love and the humor of it all, in a way that fosters a supportive and compassionate environment for the conversation.
To participate in Sex Talk Tuesday, go to twitter.com and use the #SexTalkTuesday hashtag. For more information, or to inquire about serving as a guest moderator, contact Angie Rowntree at editor@sssh.com.
