In episode 16 of Mamamia on Sky News we’re talking men, sex and pornography. Our regular panelist Sam de Brito sits down to chat with two of Australia’s most outspoken women about their VERY opposing views on porn. Bettina Arndt is a sex therapist and author of The Sex Diaries and What Men Want – In Bed, and Melinda Tankard Reist is a social commentator and author of Big Porn Inc.
Sam asks the questions many men – and women – are too afraid to ask. And the answers may surprise you.
The full episode is available here (and the discussion about men, sex and pornography starts at around the 15 min 20 sec mark):
Now let’s meet the panel:
Dee Madigan: Social commentator and advertising guru, regular panelist on The Gruen Transfer.
Lachlan Harris: Political and media commentator and former Senior Press Secretary to Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd MP from 2006 to 2010.

I have very little time for Bettina - her views are stuck in the lates 70s- mid 80. Catch up: women love sex too! Like me for instance. I would have to ask my ex for sex and I would have to work SO hard to raise the topic in a way that was not nagging him, just to get it once per week. Pornography was the reason he was not interested in me and it ruined our relationship.Bettina needs to read some Nikki Gemmell.
