There is no shame in telling a politician to stay out of your bedroom.

There is no reason to hide the fact that you like to watch adult DVDs when faced with a possible ban on them by politicians who only hear the viewpoint of certain religious and morals groups. So if you value your rights to watch what you want in the privacy of your own home, send an email to a politician.

The Australian adult industry

• Only sell films that feature consenting adults and are non violent erotica. (The only crime regularly seen in adult films is against fashion!) and only sell to adults and only allow adults to access their businesses

• Works proactively to fight against child pornography. Any requests for such material are reported to the Police. Internet access in shops is monitored. In the last three years the adult industry globally has detected and reported over 4,000 child pornography web sites – ASACP report 2006 www.asacp.org

• Properly and responsibly labels its products and websites. Provides safe and healthy premises for staff and customersand are good business neighbours. Proactively lobbies for the sexual rights of its customers and respects its customer’s privacy.
