Cindy Gallop took the stage at TED2009 to premiere her new website: makelovenotporn.com. In language not often heard at TED, this bold personality described her newest project.
Some real time reactions from Twitter:
In our culture, hard core porn has become a de-facto substitute for sex education: thus, unveiled at TED http://makelovenotporn.com — timoreilly
TED Live: Cindy Gallop surprise appearance. Talks about the ridiculous notion that “teen abstinence would actually work.” Right on. — brainpicker
TED DIscussing Porn with Cindy Gallop. Probably the first time the words “Cum on my face” been used repeatedly at TED. — sdgeek
TED Live: Cindy Gallop’s site takes the myths of hardcore porn and balances them with reality. Not anti-porn. — rainpicker
If this post made you blush a little, you aren’t alone:
I love this talk, but cannot tweet it. — missrogue

Ya, I I want to see this. What’s going on?

It seems to me that Cindy’s talk has been purged from the TED site, though this blog entry persists. What is going on with that?

A great website, very important and very educational… but not very conducive to non-heterosexual couples/relations.
