Anyone who hasn't already, who has any interest in discussions of taboo in culture and media, should take a look at this talk from Violet Blue. It's one of those videos that, while you watch, you will find yourself breathing more easily with the knowledge that there exists someone with this clarity of purpose and commitment to education.

Sure, this talk is about sex, but I assure you that there is no nudity and only a conservative seasoning of dirty talk. It's almost work safe, and it is extremely interesting. As someone who, at some point, would love to work in media dealing with the general public, this Google Tech Talk gives me a kind of reassurance that there might be a spot for somewhere for me: a smart person willing to research, explain to lay people, and raise the intellectual water level. I believe that Violet Blue is this type of person. 

As well, as a human being I find this video to be refreshing. I wouldn't call myself a deviant by any stretch, but the way this woman speaks about sex makes sense to me. It is very interesting that having an evolved sexual philosophy means that you're willing to admit that humans are biological entities, animals, that have primal aspects to them.

While I feel she does go overboard at certain points in her talk, I feel that her heart is in the right place. Specifically, I'm wary of her assertions that sex workers are not typically victims who are acting out and that the porn industry is not a problematic industry with regard to getting in and getting out. I have a hard time believing her there, and she damages her credibility by not knowing about Dr. Drew and resorting to ad hominem by association attacks on legislation.

Still, this is definitely a good and interesting talk on the subject. As this is the most popular of all the Google Tech Talks on Youtube, guess why? I'm not sure this video needs any pimping, but I was just feeling lonely and wanted to vent my enjoyment of this video. Please watch.
