Description: Shows a woman who seems to be losing the top half of her gorgeous red dress; she has a large cabbage for a head. In the background is a horse and rider. When journalists write about sex or sexuality, they like to dress it up. Usually in Victorian tat, rather than modern bondage. The recent flurry of gosh-how-shocking stories about female consumption of pornography is emblematic. The creation and use of porn by women for women is one of the few growth areas in an industry that has suffered economic droop because of the internet. (Drawn to accompany Nick Smith - Porn?
