Family First NZ says that a doctor convicted of possessing and distributing child sex abuse images should be named.

“Patients and parents should be informed so that they can make an informed choice as to whether they continue having him as their family doctor, even after his nine month suspension,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of
Family First NZ.

“The doctor in question admitted 25 charges of possessing objectionable material and one charge of distributing an objectionable publication. He not only had 290,000 images of young girls in explicit sexual poses but as well as that, the doctor was found to be distributing objectionable material further. This is not a one-off slip.”

“The rights of the doctor to name suppression and privacy should not be greater than the right of patients and especially parents to know the character of their doctor. That is the price the doctor must pay to match the gravity of
the abuse of children. Many parents would rightly be concerned at a doctor with those convictions examining their young son or daughter.”

“Parents should be given the right to make an informed decision,” says Mr McCoskrie.

Steve Crow is intending to hand out $250,000 worth of free vouchers to those attending the porn parades, so they can purchase hard core pornography DVDs marketed by his failing business Vixen Direct. In a tawdry press release issued to Fairfax Media by Michelle Ruebe (on behalf of Vixen Direct dated 6/08/10), Crow has announced his intention to give away 12,500 vouchers in Auckland next week entitling the bearer to a full length hard-core porn DVD worth $20.00 from his distribution company Vixen Direct.

The New Zealand Police, always so ready to assist such events organised by Crow, will no doubt help in crowd control as teenage boys, porn-watching Ministers of the Crown and other ‘red-blooded kiwi blokes’ ,  lurch in frenzied latent lust towards the bare-breasted women handing out these titillating tawdry coupons – each one approved no doubt by the Acting Chief Censor – Ms Nicola McCully.

Porn Company CVC Group Ltd, directed by John Malcolm Carr, is 39% owned by Velocity Partners Ltd, a company he owns and directs. 40% of CVC Group is owned by HWGA Co Ltd, which is directed by Steve Crow’s brother and sister, David Bruce Crow and Leanne Marie Osborn. David now holds 50% of the shares of HWGA Company Ltd which used to be directed by Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow until he recently resigned after being banned as a company director for four years commencing 16 April 2010.

John Malcolm Carr, who co-directed CVC Group Ltd with Steve Crow until he (Steve) was forced to resign, faces eight serious criminal charges in the Auckland District Court on 12 August, brought against him by the Ministry of Economic Development’s Enforcement Unit under the Financial Reporting Act 1993. Hardcore porn promoter John M Carr remains the sole director of CVC Group Ltd and its daughter hardcore porn company Eden Digital Ltd.

David Bruce Crow of Inglewood, director of Buildwise Ltd (In Liq) which was placed in liquidation last year owing hundreds of thousands of dollars to creditors in the Taranaki, is currently the sole director of 435 Devon Ltd which purchased the New Plymouth RSA Clubrooms (NPRSA) for $1.9 million using entirely borrowed money. $1.525 M was left in the building as a second mortgage by the former owner (NPRSA) and the Crow brothers borrowed $375,00 as a first mortgage from PMIT Nominees Ltd. They also borrowed more money with a view to developing the property – plans which have come to nothing.

David Crow currently owns 1,000 shares (10%) of 435 Devon Ltd, his wife Carolyn owns 40% and his brother Steve, a former director of the company at the time the property was purchased from NPRSA, owns 50%. 435 Devon Ltd has never had any equity in the property and has leased out part of the building as a function centre/restaurant since its purchase in 2008. The media is aware that 435 Devon Ltd has defaulted for months on both its mortgages and the New Plymouth District Council is owed about $25,000 in unpaid rates. Other creditors ar owed thousands of dollars. The NPRSA is reputed to be owed over $60,000 of unpaid interest dating back to February this year.

No doubt all these creditors of the Crow brothers will be lining up along Queen Street in Auckland next week to cheer on banned director Steve Crow and his colourful naked ambition. Steve has announced that Leanne Marie Osborn of Fitzroy, New Plymouth, his sister and a co-directot with brother David of HWGA Co. Ltd, will be helping match each porn coupon toting bare-breasted women in the parade with a suitable vehicle to mount.

Porn in the family is certainly something worth crowing about when one is financially impotent. The two porn companies Vixen Publications Ltd and Sidefx Ltd that Steve Crow once directed until he was banned as a director appear to be in big trouble. The Registrar of Companies will shortly be striking these companies off the register if shareholders and management fail to find a replacement director for the banned Mr Steve Crow by the 12 August 2010. Crow’s lurid disposal of 12,500 porn DVDs to the general public using a bevvy of bare-breasted babes may be a signal that both companies are dead in a cesspool of liquidated porn.

John M Carr, who holds US citizenship and owns a number of NZ registered companies, has had a financial interest in the importation and promotion of hardcore porn sleaze for many years, working closely with his friend Steve Crow, who until his recent 4-year ban, co-directed CVC Group Ltd with him. CVC Group Ltd, directed by John M. Carr, owns Eden Digital Ltd. Eden Digital Ltd has its registered office at 2/18b Triton Drive, Albany, Auckland 1025 – a property owned by PJ Digital Ltd, a company directed and owned by John Malcolm Carr. Mr Carr gives his own residential address for the latter company as Flat 14 Remuera Mews, 31 Green Lane East, Remuera, Auckland, 1050 (Checketts McKay Trustees Ltd is the trustee of this property). PJ Digital Ltd has its registered office at Unit 13, 33 -35 Apollo Drive, Mairangi Bay, Auckland , New Zealand.

OPINION: Two impresarios featured in the news this week: [Stephen Peter Crow and Suzie Moncrieff] 

One panders to salacious instincts; the other lifts the human spirit. One is pornographer Steve Crow, the other is World of WearableArt founder Suzie Moncrieff. No prizes for guessing which is which.

Fortunately for Wellington, Mr Crow chose Auckland for his latest Boobs on Bikes parade a publicity stunt that no longer even has the virtue of being novel.

Unfortunately for Auckland, Ms Moncrieff chose Wellington when her blend of dance and art and theatre outgrew Nelson. It is the jewel in Wellington’s crown as the cultural capital of the nation.

True, Auckland also showcased the work of New Zealand’s leading fashion designers this week, although you’d have been hard-pressed to notice if you were watching Close Up or Campbell Live on Tuesday night. The former was more interested in the surgically inflated boast of a woman claiming to have the largest breasts in the world, and the latter in a pay dispute between a stripper and Mr Crow.

He probably counted his appearance on Campbell Live a publicity coup. It was not. It was a sad illustration of how tawdry a business he operates in. He and a woman who pretends to enjoy exposing herself to strangers cannot agree on how much she should be paid for the pleasure.

Mr Crow probably doesn’t understand, but life is about more than turning a quick buck. At its best, it is about things that lift the human spirit, stir the imagination and make us feel good to be alive. The World of WearableArt does all three.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/opinion/editorials/2904887/Editorial-A-sight-to-raise-the-human-spirit

For the next nine days, those lucky enough to have tickets will be able to revel in the creativity, imagination and ingenuity of artists and designers who have fashioned extraordinary garments out of things often regarded as valueless grass, polyester, recycled clothing, and used teabags to name just a few. Their creations are beautiful, surprising and, sometimes, sexy although not in a way Mr Crow would recognise.

Wellington owes a debt of gratitude to those at the city council who persuaded Ms Moncrieff to bring the show to Wellington. It also owes a debt to the individuals and families who helped to foot the bill for the upgrade of the City Gallery, reopening tomorrow after a $6.3 million refit, with what looks like a bad case of the measles. The exterior of the building has been adorned with dots, the trademark of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama whose Mirrored Years exhibition features inside.

For the next five months visitors to the gallery will be able to enter a weird and wonderful world created by a one-time contemporary of Andy Warhol in New York, who has gone on to become a grand dame of the art world.

Both the Kusama exhibition and the World of WearableArt show are triumphs of the imagination.

Reduced to their component parts cloth, junk, paint and lightbulbs their materials have little intrinsic worth. In creative hands they are priceless.

At a time when many have had to tighten their belts and when there is a seemingly limitless appetite for the sordid and the titillating, it is refreshing to be reminded of the best that humans are capable of.

ASB Showgrounds

16 September 2009

Re: Erotica Lifestyles Expo 2009

Dear Sir/Madam

We are delighted to learn that the ASB Showgrounds have been so well patronised for some very worthwhile events including the recent Auckland Home Show and we commend your management for staging events like the forthcoming Speed Show and the delicious-sounding “Taste of Japan” – the latter to be held at the Logan Campbell Centre on 19th September as a free community event. Some of our members hope to attend the latter event that will no doubt bring together many different ethnic communities of all ages and promote increased understanding of Japanese culture and cuisine and stimulate a good community spirit.

Having begun with some genuine positive endorsements of your fine efforts, we would like to alert you and your management to some matters of deep concern to us and raise with you 10 serious questions about the Erotica Expo Lifestyles (EEL) event scheduled at the ASB Showgrounds.

Background to Questions:

We note that all event organisers, including those of the EEL, agree to your Terms of Service before proceeding with formalised bookings and payments. Your website legal section states:

“(ASB Showgrounds” or “we” or “us”) provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service (“TOS”),

“ASB Showgrounds shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages…”

Source: http://www.asbshowgrounds.co.nz/terms.html

We recognise that the ASB Showgrounds Management is a legal entity and its Terms of Service are succinctly and thoughtfully presented. An organisation with a dispute with any of these terms can resolve such matters in the Courts via formal legal proceedings if it chooses to do so.

However, it would appear that the “Erotica Expo Lifestyles” event is not organised by any such a legal entity or legally constituted organisation (see website www.eroticaexpo.co.nz). Furthermore, its organiser(s) seek to place draconian restrictions on the freedom of expression of individuals who pay $20.00 to attend the event and the organisers have ‘served notice’ that they intend to physically remove them and any electronic devices such as videos, cell phones, etc that may have used to record images – if used within the venue – and to wipe images taken. (“Any person[s] found taking video or still images will immediately be removed from the premises and will have their images erased.”). Will vulnerable men and women be manhandled by persons not lawfully entitled to do so? (police officers have this right in certain circumstances).

Here is the relevant Expo policy copied below from their website (highlighted in italics)

No Camera Policy:

http://www.eroticaexpo.co.nz/show/view/4

Please remember that Erotica has a strictly NO CAMERA POLICY. We do not allow visitors to use cameras, video-cameras or pxt phones withing [SIC] the venue.

This policy is there for your privacy as well as ours and our stars. This rule greatly reduces the chances that someone will snap a photo of you or accidently [SIC] catch you on video. There is less chance of you being photographed doing something you would rather not have captured on film. There is also less chance of you being filmed at the show with someone other than your significant other if you get our drift.

ONLY AUTHORISED PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE PERMITTED TO TAKE PHOTOS OR FILM AT THE SHOW AND PLEASE TELL THEM IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE FILMED. THEY WILL RESPECT YOUR WISHES.

Any person[s] found taking video or still images will immediately be removed from the premises and will have their images erased.

Our Society’s national executive requests that you urgently address the following questions and provide us with answers as soon as possible – questions that relate to the forthcoming Erotica Lifestyles Expo. The organiser(s) of this event appear to have provided no evidence to the public via their website advertisements or elsewhere that they constitute a legal entity or a responsible entity that can apply the law in this way to restrict the activities of adults. There are no copyright laws applicable here and the staged event involving imported “porn stars” does not appear to have the backing of any management linked to a legal entity or properly constituted organisation. The organiser(s) have provided no details as to how they are going to enforce the R18 restrictions on the event (photo ID etc). Who are they responsible to for their actions?

Questions for ASB Showgrounds Management:

Question 1: What is/are the name(s) and details of the legal entity/entities responsible for staging Erotica Lifestyles Expo and who among its organisers have the legal authority to deal with any defamatory or criminal allegations that may be made by members of the public who may feel they have been badly manhandled by Expo staff (in such cases as their having had private property – cameras, videos etc – unjustifiably confiscated and tampered with – images erased etc.- and being forcefully removed from an event they paid to attend)?

Question 2. Has the ASB Showgrounds management been alerted to the nature of the public sex acts that have in the past been performed at the Expo – lewd and to some offensive activities – that its organisers do not want the public to film or otherwise record?

Question 3. Will the ASB management be taking any responsibility themselves for any infringement(s) of the public’s rights to use a camera or cell phone in a showground that has staged all manner of family friendly and adult friendly responsible events where the use of cameras has apparently, to our knowledge, never been restricted before (with the exception of other Erotica Lifestyles Expos)?

Question 4. Has ASB management considered the “human rights” issues involved when an event organiser(s), who can apparently lay claim to no copyright law, legal protection of privacy provision, gives notice that he intends to restrict fee-paying patrons of the Expo using their cameras, videos and cell phones etc?

Question 5. What do the restrictions being sought by the organiser(s) tell management about the lawfulness and nature of the publicly performed lewd adult sex acts being planned for ‘fun-loving’ adults to witness and enjoy?

Question 6. What advice can ASB management give to members of the public who are planning to attend the Expo and exert/test their rights to use cameras and videos and who do not intend to allow themselves to be man-handled by persons claiming to be part of the control monitors/’bouncers’ of an event that is not staged by any legally constituted entity?

Question 7. What relationship does the ASB management have with the police officers who will be needed to ensure the human rights and freedom of expression are not curtailed by those who wish to engage in lewd sex acts on stage or record images of such activities?

Question 8. Is the ASB management supportive of the claimed rights of the organiser(s) of Erotica Lifestyles Expo to physically remove persons from the premises and … have their images erased – based on a claim that they have taken a photo – and if so, will they be a party to any legal proceedings that may follow such incidents?

Question 9. Is the ASB management aware of any other exhibitor or event organiser who has ever used ASB Showground facilities and made similar sorts of threats of physical violence (forced removal, private property tampered with etc) as made by the Expo organiser(s), and if so who are they?

Question 10: Is ASB management aware that Mr Stephen Peter Crow (Steve Crow), who fronts the Erotica Lifestyles Expo, has been convicted in the Courts over 30 criminal charges of disseminating “objectionable” sexual material under the Films, Videos and Publication Classification Act 1993, has had many adult videos/DVDs he has produced and submitted for classification banned by the Classification Office for containing objectionable sexual content, has been effectively banned by a Court ruling and a ruling from a Cabinet Minister – from trying to film a porn star giving birth in the Waikato Hospital and using the footage in a porn film, and has faced police investigation for death threats of violence made against a porn competitor? If so, have these well-publicised facts influenced management in their decision to allow the Expo to proceed as scheduled? (documentation in the public domain can be supplied on request by the Society)?

We look forward to receiving your detailed responses to these questions as soon as possible. They are raised with you out of deep concern by our national executive and members, and other community groups we are in regular contact with.

POLICE PRESENCE & OTHER MATTERS
Recently Stephen Peter Crow (Steve Crow), the promoter of Erotica Lifestyles Expo spoke at a meeting of over 100 persons at the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce Business After 5 function at the New Plymouth RSA. The Taranaki Daily News (27/08/09) reported his threatening comments directed at some businessmen in the audience who had indicated to organisers that they wanted to question him and his business partner over tens of thousands of dollars owed to them by the Crow bothers.

Steve Crow stated:

“Well, let me say right from the start that it won’t work. I receive an average of three death threats a week. I get bullets sent to me in the mail. Letters claiming to contain anthrax. None of this sort of thing scares me. So I want to warn you that all you’ll do is embarrass yourself and then get thrown out.”

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2807093/Crow-ready-to-tackle-hecklers-at-meeting.

As one commentator stated in response to this report:

“Surely anyone who actually gets these types of threats weekly needs to take a hard look at themselves and if for example, the threats come from angry creditors, rather than try and intimidate them into silence – potentially fuelling counter threats and animosity – they should meet their financial obligations. Four of Steve Crow’s porn companies currently in liquidation owe creditors over $1.3 million. David Crow’s company – Buildwise Ltd (In Liq) owes money to over 50 creditors who are likely to get nothing. Many might see Steve Crow’s ramble about death threats as pathetic – the last cries of a man seeking public sympathy and trying to fend off his creditors with bullying, bluster, vitriol, BS, and hubris.”

ACTION REQUESTED FROM SHOWGROUND MANAGEMENT
In the light of Mr Steve Crow’s well documented bullying tactics and threats……………

The Society formally requests that if the ASB Showground Management does decide to allow the Erotica Lifestyles Expo to go ahead, that it ensure that a significant police presence and security (with surveillance cameras) ibe provided at the event. If it is not provided, the ASB management, having been alerted to issues raised above, may find itself legally responsible for any actions taken against organisers.

A police presence will be necessary at the venue to protect the public who attend. Security cameras are regarded by the public as synonymous with security and not providing them, (undoubtedly can be readily supplied by Showground management), could put the public at risk. An OSH incident could well arise in that situation, if security were to be absent and all cameras banned. Young people who attend have the right to be protected and such security in the form of video footage should be available for that purpose.

If the event does go ahead with the ‘blessing’ of ASB Showground Management, authorised security staff would need to check identification at the gates to all venues to ensure that under 18 year olds are not exposed to R18-rated material and also prevent alcohol being taken in or served to minors (if a licence has been granted to event organisers).

If this event, one that is clearly at odds with the community standards held by most New Zealanders, is deemed to be offensive to the public and neighbours, it may need special resource consent. The neighbourhood needs to be adequately informed of the nature of the R18-rated activities on display so that they may, if they wish, lay a complaint under the Resource Management Act and/or the Local Government Act about any aspect of nuisance that they perceive may be caused from this event. The ASB management may need to provide notice and apply for a special resource consent to run this event. That would require the neighbourhood to be provided with precise details of the event in advance and be given sufficient time to object.

We would appreciate a prompt acknowledgement of this communication. Also please provide the names of the Management Team who supported the decision to allow Erotica Lifestyles Expo to use the ASB Showgrounds facility.

Any person[s] found within the venue taking video or still images will immediately be thrown out from the porn fest says big boss Porn King Stephen Peter Crow (Steve Crow) and all images recorded will be forcibly removed.

The Society is asking: Why has ASB Showgrounds management allowed a company in liquidation to enter into such an arrangement? Some media commentators predict it will attract no more than a few hundred people with a sexual dysfunction or those seeking titillation from porn sleaze and extravagantly priced sex toys or seeking AIDS for the impotent or promiscuous. 

Liquidator, Lloyd Hayward of Accountants Meltzer Mason and Heath, in his report dated 3 June 2009 and available on the Companies website, states that Malibu Media Ltd (In Liq) (formerly Erotica Expo Ltd) owes unsecured creditors and shareholders $145,665 and $18,649 to IRD. He reports that the company Steve Crow directed failed mainly because of very poor attendances at the most recent Erotica Lifestyles Expos held in Wellington and Christchurch (see Co. No. 1275425 www.companies.govt.nz). These debts together with those of three other porn companies that were directed by Steve Crow, all of which have been placed into liquidation, amount to over 1.3 million dollars. The Liquidator has confirmed that there is nothing left for creditors.

Currently there is no registered company by the name “Erotica Expo Ltd”. Crow changed the name of the company he directed – Erotica Expo Ltd (Co. No.1275425) – to Malibu Media Ltd, on 1 May 2009, one month before it was placed in liquidation; no doubt to try and hide the financial failure being linked to the brand name “Erotica Expo Ltd” which he continues to use in breach of the Companies Act 1993.

ASB Showgrounds management have allowed an event to be staged that could place all those individuals, organisations and companies that supply goods and services to the forthcoming three day porn sleaze show, at serious financial risk, should the show run at a huge loss. Creditors, both secured and unsecured, would have no legal comeback against an unregistered company running or staging the event. To do work for a company that is currently in liquidation is financial stupidity. Furthermore, given the huge financial failure of the last few Erotica Expo run by Steve Crow, one would have to be either naïve, stupid or desirous of financial suicide, to work as an employee, contractor or provider of services to such a company.

Just because an event organiser boasts he has a website featuring porn stars and titillating claims of a few event successes (ignoring the failures), this does not make the event to be staged one that is organised by a legitimate legal entity such as a registered company. It is a serious offence against the Companies Act 1993 for a director of a company to trade under a company name when it is in liquidation. It is a serious offence to use the name of such a company in any contractual agreement or in any form of advertising.

Auckland Savings Bank management, who approved the branding or naming rights of the ASB showgrounds, would no doubt be appalled to learn that showground management have entered into an agreement allowing a hardcore porn promo company in liquidation to be the organiser of a three day porn-fest at this venue. Words like fraud, con artist, scam and business corruption come to mind when one contemplates such arrangements.

   

Dr. Reisman’s study supports the conclusion that Alfred Kinsey’s research was contrived, ideologically driven and misleading. Any judge, legislator or other public official who gives credence to that research is guilty of malpractice and dereliction of duty.” Charles E. Rice, Professor, Notre Dame Law School

“Dr. Reisman: You can be very proud that you are included in Who’s Who in America, the directory The New York Times just recently hailed as “…that venerable guide to American achievement…” Once again, we’d like to congratulate you on your accomplishments.”  Who’s Who in America

Alfred Charles Kinsey (1894 – 1956), was an American biologist and professor of entomology and zoology who in 1947 founded the Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, now called the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. Kinsey’s research on human sexuality profoundly influenced social and cultural values in the United States and many other countries which went through the sexual revolution starting in the 1960s.

He is best known for his two controversial, very popular and widely influential publications Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948, reprinted 1998) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953, reprinted 1998).

Kinsey maintained that most people do not all clearly fall into the categories of exclusive heterosexuality or exclusive homosexuality, but that most can be placed somewhere between, in a continuum of sexual orientations with homo- and heterosexuality at the extremes and bisexuality at the midpoint. His detractors, such as the Family Research Council, claim that Kinsey’s work is a force that seeks to legitimize homosexuality, which the organization opposes. They tend to regard a homosexual orientation as a voluntary choice rather than an involuntary condition.

As a result of the work done by Kinsey and others, the American Psychiatric Association, in 1973, removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses.

Judith A. Reisman (b. Judith Ann Gelernter, 1935, Newark, New Jersey) is best known for her criticism of the work of Alfred Kinsey. She argues that that many of Kinsey’s sexual viewpoints are not appropriate in the context of modern sex education. Reisman alleges that Kinsey and his staff gathered Kinsey’s data from pedophiles and sex offenders to produce some of the data in the Kinsey Reports. She draws attention to the fact that Tables 30-34 of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male report observations of orgasms in more than three-hundred children between the ages of five months and fourteen years. The Kinsey Institute maintains that Kinsey never had any sexual interaction with children, nor did he employ others to do so, and that he always interviewed children in the presence of their parents [no citation provided by source: Wikipedia].

Judith Reisman was born to a second-generation Jewish-American family in 1935 in Newark…. She gained an M.A. in 1976 and a PhD in 1980, both in Communications, at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Reisman has also been based at Haifa University in Israel.

She has authored and co-authored a number of books and scholarly articles including: The U.S. Department of Justice, Juvenile Justice study, Images of Children, Crime and Violence in Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler (1989), Kinsey, Crimes & Consequences (1998, 2000), Soft Porn Plays Hardball (1991), Kinsey, Sex and Fraud: The Indoctrination of a People (Reisman et al, 1990) and Kinsey’s Attic: The Shocking Story of How One Man’s Sexual Pathology Changed the World (Hardback).

Dr. Reisman is listed in numerous Who’s Who biographies such as: Who’s Who in Science & Engineering, International Who’s Who in Sexology, International Who’s Who in Education, Who’s Who of American Women and The World’s Who’s Who of Women. Her scholarly findings have had international legislative and scientific import in the United States, Israel, South Africa, Canada and Australia, while The German Medical Tribune and the British medical journal, The Lancet demanded that the Kinsey Institute be investigated, saying:

The Kinsey reports (one in 1948 on males and the companion five years later) claimed that sexual activity began much earlier in life…. and displayed less horror of age differences and same-sex relationships than anyone at the time imagined. It was as if, to follow Mr. Porter again, “Anything goes”. In Kinsey, Sex and Fraud, Dr. Judith A. Reisman and her colleagues demolish the foundations of the two reports … Kinsey et al … questioned an unrepresentative proportion of prison inmates and sex offenders in a survey of “normal” sexual behavior. Presumably some at least of those offenders were also the sources of information on stimulation to orgasm in young children that can only have come from pedophiles–or so it must be hoped. Kinsey…. has left his former co-workers some explaining to do. The Lancet, (Vol. 337: March 2, 1991, p. 547).

Reisman has guest lectured at numerous educational establishments, including Princeton, Georgetown, Tel Aviv University and the Rutherford Institute, as well as to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.

A revealing documentary about the effects of porn on consumers. “An Accomplished Film” Sundance Film Festival.

“Is porn really addictive? Are children being sexually exploited?  Who should teach sex education? How much of responsibility should the porn industry take to provide treatment for potentially addicted customers? Is porn a healthy sexual arousal tool for consenting adults? Should porn be used to treat sexual dysfunction? The film explores possible answers to these hard questions, providing an unexpected conclusion.” J.A. Reisman.

SYNOPSIS by Dr Judith A Reisman 

A fresh social and political look at the $57 billion-a-year Adult Entertainment Industry and its affects on 3 subjects who agree to view porn 1 hour a day for 30 days.

Shady strip club owners, angry strippers, crass porn stars, top-of-their-game experts and 3 unknowing subjects hammer out an uncomfortable look into the soul of the porn biz.  Director, Lance Tracy, IMDB (Best Director, NY International Film & Video Festival, 5-Telly winner) maturely balances humor, shocking honesty, science and entertainment.

THE ON-CAMERA EXPERIMENT:  A single man and a married man are subjected to a steady diet of porn, strip and sex clubs for 4 weeks. And the wife has plenty to say about it. The subjects consistently fill out behavior and attitudinal surveys.  With the help of several research experts, the filmmakers carefully document the results. Simultaneously, a major university independently conducts a similar study with 100 college students.  The results are staggering.

THE EXPERTS: In November of 2004, conservative Senator Brownback held a Senate hearing on the effects of pornography on America. He invited 4 experts who all testified that porn has only negative effects. This ticked off the porn and sexologist industries that see nothing wrong with it. Host & director, Lance Tracy hunts down these experts for a one-on-one. He also gives the porn industry a chance to respond to the hearing, including Ron Jeremy, Nina Hartley and Sharon Mitchell. Tom Sizemore and Art Alexakis from Everclear also weigh-in.

THE JOURNEY: Lance Tracy crosses the country on a political, social and moral search into the hearts of sex-workers, people on the streets, experts and the 3 subjects who unveil their souls. He looks behind the secretive doors of strip clubs, and private strip shows where self-masturbation is definitely legal and the bigger the tip, the bigger the trick.

THE EXPOSURE: He unveils surprising porn industry-involved business industries like:  AT&T, GM, countless hotel chains & family-oriented retail outlets. All sides get their fair share of the spotlight; sometimes uncomfortable.

THE ANSWER: Is porn really addictive? Are children being sexually exploited?  Who should teach sex education?

UNITED STATES, December 16, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A significant rise in pornographic DVD sales and rentals within the United States points to a rapidly growing addiction to pornography that is going largely unacknowledged within society.

The United States’ massive porn industry has reported a marked increase in sales of DVD’s for home adult entertainment. California-based Adult Video News predicted revenue of US$12.6-billion this year for the industry. Of that number, US$4.28-billion is predicted from sales and rentals of porn DVD’s, even though the price of a porn film has dropped 20% in the last year–to less than US$50.

The report offers no reason for the increase in sales and the growth of the industry overall, although some retailers of the products have suggested the increase is due to growing social acceptance of adult sexual entertainment.

That ‘social acceptance’ is in fact a rapidly growing addiction to pornographic material within mainstream society, according to researchers and therapists who work in the field of sexual dysfunction.

Dr. Judith Reisman, who has done extensive research discrediting the work of Alfred Kinsey, has shown compelling evidence that pornography is a powerful addictive force. In an article titled Exposing Pornography’s Addictive, Destructive Effects, published 2003, she states:

"For decades I have lectured on visual pornography as an "endogenous drug" that permanently restructures the brain, mind, memory and conduct of unthinking users…Pornography overrides cognition and causes dramatic changes in viewers’ behavior. This can be simple coarsening, impairing the capacity to love, or it can lead to brutal sexual crimes."

Dr. Mary Ann Layden is co-director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Cognitive Therapy. Speaking before the 2004 Senate Commerce Committee, she said, "Pornography addicts have a more difficult time recovering from their addiction than cocaine addicts, since coke users can get the drug out of their system, but pornographic images stay in the brain forever.

Social acceptance of the industry appears to be a blanket of acceptability tossed over the ugly truth of pornography–that the industry degrades the people involved in the production of material, degrades the viewer, and fosters socially deviant behavior.

"Those who use pornography have been shown to be more likely to engage in illegal behavior…Research indicates and my clinical experience supports that those who use pornography are more likely to go to prostitutes, engage in domestic violence, stranger rape, date rape, and incest, " said Layden.

From de-valuing of women and children, to disruption of the ability to be in intimate relationship, to the acting out of violent fantasy against actual victims that leads to sexually motivated crimes, research clearly shows the devastating social results of pornography addiction.

The unchecked increase in child pornography offers unavoidable evidence for the fundamentally disordered nature of the industry. Individuals who defend adult porn may be outraged by the view that child pornography is a direct outcome of the adult industry, but in fact viewing the recorded image of child abuse has become a sexual turn-on for an appalling number of adults.

Furthermore, research shows that as an addiction, pornography builds upon itself, driving the addict to seek more extreme experiences of visually satisfying material.

"Sexual addicts develop tolerance and will need more and harder kinds of pornographic material," said Layden. "They have escalating compulsive sexual behavior becoming more out of control and also experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop the use of the sexual material. This material is potent, addictive and permanently implanted in the brain."

Despite industry defenders’ claims that adult entertainment is a healthy form of sexuality, the porn industry has seen an enormous increase in recent years in "extreme" porn involving violence, the abuse of animals, a focus on fecal and urinary functions, and self-mutilation.

"There are no studies and no data that indicate a benefit from pornography use," Layden said. "If there were a benefit, then pornography users, pornography performers, their spouses and their children would show the most benefit. Just the opposite is true. The society is awash in pornography and so in fact the data is in. If pornography made us healthy, we would be healthy by now."
