Dave's brother sent us a link to this story about Fuck for Forest, an organization whose members are devoted to...well, fucking for forest. They make porn to raise money for environmental projects. They've got an elaborate website (adults only, please) which you can check out here. I vaguely remember reading about these guys a couple of years ago when they got busted for having sex onstage at a rock concert, but I had no idea they were still doing this bit--and with considerable success. Apparently, there are plenty of hounds with a social conscience out there.
This Bitch magazine article by Rebecca Onion hates on the whole enterprise pretty seriously, but I have to say I find the idea funny and charming. Yes, it exploits the sexuality of pretty young things, but so what? The PYTs seem to be having a good time doing something they'd be doing anyway. If they earn a few bucks for a worthy cause in the process, I fail to see the harm. The argument that any sexual imagery of women somehow reduces all women to sex objects is just mindless prudery. As one of the fun-loving Norwegians says, "We think it is kind of scary when, in the modern society, the innocence of sex is not tolerated while industrialization of the world is generally accepted." Yeah.

LOL! F*** for a cause!
Love you! :-)
Who needs a cause?!
If you cruise around the FFF website, you'll see that they are looking for people who want to participate as well as donate. I'm not sure how much cash the BGN contingent would bring in--though we might introduce a little variety to their products ;-)
Ugh--link to porn, get lots of spam comments. Sorry, but I'm closing comments to this post.
