Pamela Anderson Creates Anti-Porn Piece

The former Playboy model, Pamela Anderson has recently coauthored an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal regarding the dangers of pornography. However, the unwitting porn star (from a sex tape that was stolen by her ex-husband Tommy Lee) is not being taken seriously.

Even though Anderson wrote the piece with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, titled “Take the Pledge: No More Indulging Porn,” it is being slammed by some. The piece addresses the impact that pornography has on a person, from their ability to function in the real world to how it changes a person’s behavior in the bedroom. Even going so far as to state that porn is a public hazard that is easily available, which takes away from a healthy sexual experience.

Many people think that Anderson and Boteach missed the real underlying problem – that it is not pornography, but societies lack of an open and honest conversation about health sex in the real world. What is even more disappointing? That Pamela Anderson is a sex icon that has backward and even outdated views on pornography.

While others are happy that a religious person and a star from the world of entertainment are taking a more serious stance against pornography.

Much like the meaning of the name Pamela – all sweetness – the star Pamela Anderson has the same qualities. The name was created in the 16th century by Sir Philip Sidney a poet for his work “Arcadia”. He took the Greek elements pan meaning “all” and meli meaning “honey” to form the name.
