Rashida Jones wants us to talk about the taboo. The goal: to start a frank discussion about sex. The series has drawn some criticism after two women said they were shown briefly in a Periscope clip without their permission, and an adult film actor who appeared in the series claimed she had revoked her permission to be filmed. The creators have responded , saying their practices adhered to legal standards. Jones spoke to TIME about porn as sex education, how technology both facilitates and hinders intimacy, and the recent controversy. That was my in into this world because I think technology is a huge part of that. That movie represents a very specific set of stories that come out of a very specific type of porn. It did not represent all of porn, and there was a conversation among people in the industry about whether that movie was really representative. And I understood the fact that people inside the industry felt stigmatized and marginalized by that movie because it could be the only thing that anyone has seen inside the porn industry. So we wanted to make sure to broaden the spectrum of what is happening in the sex industry today.

Film "Sexy Baby" follows teen, woman's labiaplasty and pole dancer.
High school students across the nation are preparing for the SAT and ACT, fueled by steaming cups of pumpkin-flavored lattes. As stressful as test preparation is for students, it can be just as stressful for you, the parent, as you guide your child through the process. In this post, I answer four common questions about standardized tests. Colleges and universities accept scores from either test, so strictly speaking, your child does not need to take both tests.
Pornography Confuses Young People
Winnifred, 12, a precocious New York City girl on the cusp of adulthood, wears fish-net stockings and low-cut tops, striving to emulate her musical idol, Lady Gaga. Laura, a year-old kindergarten teacher from Alexandria, Va. Nichole, 32, of Clearwater, Fla. Perhaps they do not represent typical American youth, but they all feel the pressure to be beautiful and to be sexy. All three stories are intertwined in "Sexy Baby," an award-winning documentary about how technology and pornography are shaping the sexual identity of young girls. With Facebook, smart phones and instant access to the Internet, a generation of children is getting their sex education from online porn. It had its world premiere earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival. And it's very different porn than it used to be. It's really, really angry and not for a woman's pleasure. The directors avoid preachy judgment.
Best wishes in whatever you decide. And you are right about people telling you that you are lucky that you married a doctor and should not complain. He sealed my husband and I on our wedding day. I found that it worked just as well. Harmony will prevail if the husband appreciates the value of church service and attendance. I can only say that I was that girl, 10 years ago. Lonely is an everyday thing. But I have no idea how much of his lack of contact is actually due to him being busy or if that's just an excuse to not commit.
