Porn star offers priests advice

CATHOLIC priests need some "street-level" sex education to prevent abuse cases, a visiting American porn star says.

Belladonna, 27, with a husband and daughter at home in the US, has arrived in Australia to promote her career.  But in the week the church is celebrating World Youth Day and fending off cricisim over the way it has handled sex abuse claims, Belladonna is advising Pope Benedict XVI - let priests watch porn.

By her own admission, the porn star has performed sexual acts with men and women in more than 250 X-rated movies.  She is on a fifth visit to Australia as a guest of the Sydney Sexpo event, which starts next week, just as World Youth Day celebrations end.  "The Pope has indicated he might apologise to victims of sexual abuse and that is a positive thing to do," the heavily tattooed Belladonna said today.  "But unless he follows up with some practical advice that addresses the sexual needs and desires of clergy, the problem will simply continue.  Church clergy are at a crisis because they get no real street-level sex education but are expected to ply the streets to deliver their spiritual message."

They needed to know how to distinguish a sexual fetish or fantasy from real-life sex, she said.

Belladonna has offered 300 of her own films to the Catholic church in Australia for distribution to priests.  She also has offered to donate some of her own time to help set up a "meaningful set of exercises for priests to help them deal with sexual tension and stress".

The Eros Foundation - Australia's national adult retail and entertainment association - says the sex industry could help the clergy.

I wonder how her "help" is being received by the clergy?  Hehe.. this could lead to a change in the "Reject Jesus, Receive Bacon" motivational poster to "Accept Jesus, Receive Porn."

Ask, and ye shall receive.

Maybe if those priests were getting some, they'd be less likely to interfere in other people's lives.  I've always wondered that people would take marital and intimate advice from men who are "allegedly" celibate (I don't believe for a minute that most of them actually remain celibate their entire lives, human nature being what it is).

If she can send some porn to the Pope, more power to her!

I really appreciate her proactive approach to this problem, but really I see the answer to sexual abuse by clergy as excommunication and being turned over to the authorities.

And here's a crazy ideaâ€"END CELIBACY. It's a completely stupid idea. I doubt I could go more than a month without being with a woman. The rest of my life? I might go crazy, too.

  Porn has something to teach us all.Well atleast it makes more sense then the Red Sea parting.The church really needs to do background checks on these people.But even letting these men have a sex life isn't going to help much.They have a mental illness and need to be put away from society for everyones good.
