I think the "I keep myself calm by knitting" says it all, really. I'm off to buy some needles. This would drive me completely bonkers.

Good read! How interesting…I never thought about it from a religious perspective…do you get a lot of callers coming from a religious background?

There is something he can cast away that is causing him so much misery and confusion, yet doesn't.

EE-Religion comes up a lot more than I thought it would doing this work. EW-Glad you liked it. Wank-I think it's sad too. I don't understand belonging to a religion that condemns one's sexuality.

Before I entered into porn, I had a variety of odd adult jobs. I worked as an assistant to a dominatrix and she had the most unusual clients. I identify with your experience somewhat - it seems that the most socially repressed men are the ones acting out in deviant ways behind closed doors. I'm interested in how you started doing this. . . xoxo ~Lauren Vaughn How interesting. . . Before I entered into porn, I had a variety of odd adult jobs.

I'll have to write a how I started PSO'ing post. Gillette-I know! It's incredibly sad. It seems ludicrous that people stay in a religion that hurts them so much. Lauren-Glad you liked the post.

To be honest, I think this guy and the guy who berated you for being pro-choice have the same hang up. They're incredibly attracted to you because you "sin" and you're ok with it. Not just ok with it, but thrive on it, are comfortable with it, get true guiltless enjoyment out of it. I think you represent freedom to them. On some level though, at some point, they have to fight back against that, for, well, so many reasons. Hence the one guy's abortion tirade. Hence this one abruptly changing the subject. Just a theory, but something I've noticed myself. It seems like the guys who for some reason feel there is to be guilt involved in anything besides a very narrow view of sexuality are the most drawn to and turned on by those of us who don't feel that guilt at all. It's sort of romantic. But sad, to me. After reading your Pagan Sex Cult post I was interested to see the rest of your posts on religion overlapping with your work.
