Explains a lot actually.
She was very honest and seems like a good mom, but I can see how such an intense and contained being could push someone into the other end of the spectrum.

She doesn't actually have to say it. She could simply choose not to say it. But her ego and her needs seem pretty important for a zen whatever.

The title sounds more like a musical than a documentary, and I'm at a Panera Bread with the sound down, so I'm not really watching the video, but I can't wait to see this!

I heard Nina Hartley interviewed in 2001, a long detailed interview on early internet radio. (Anybody remember EYada?) She's incredibly intelligent. Her definition of "QUEER" was a revelation that changed my understanding of my own sexuality for the better. I've been consuming for 35 years, and I can't think of another porn star who actually taught me anything about real world sexuality.

"Porn dancing."

I don't know what a Zen Abbess "should" think to be a proper Zen Abbess, but I don't she why she shouldn't be honest about her feelings if they are her feelings. It's likely her daughter knows her feelings, so I don't see what the point of holding her tongue would be.

A lot of the documentary is fascinating. I laughed at the part where the photographer (Barbara Nitke) goes off about bean counters being the same in all industries. I looked her up, and she had a Kickstarter for a book of "Golden Age of Porn" behind the scenes photos. Now she has another active Kickstarter for an exhibition of those photos.

Nina Hartley is pretty cool. I'd be interested to hear that radio interview if you can find it JHM.
