From time to time we make a point of bringing you special people and
outstanding sites of interest. Being women and men in the modern world has
become increasingly difficult and some good quality brain food is needed to
keep us together.

Is pornography a good or bad thing? There are cogent arguments for and
against,some strong and some less so. But in the end it is a personal
choice and as Wendy McElroy shows, you need to confront facts and your own
courage of enquiry to make a reasoned decision. Lovability.org patrons are
invited to download and read Wendy's very courageous book and if you want
