Condom use in the adult film industry is only "de rigiour" (sp?) for the big film studios with contract stars. The rest of us are gladiators, risking for other's enjoyment.

Thank you for this article, I feel you presented my workplace very accurately. I work at PHE (the Sinclair Intimacy Institute division) and you mostly likely passed my desk on the way to Phil's office with Sean. Phil has created a workplace for individuals, not just robo-workers. I celebrate my 5th anniversary in February. How many people do you know that get to talk about sex and sex products all day and get paid for it? Life is grand!

There will never be another Phil Harvey, and of course his long-time partner Tim Black. I really fear the day when these guys will be gone. They have done such wonderfull things for people in poverty stricken and populous countries like India, Ethiopia and the Philppines. I will, forever look up to Phil in the highest regard. Long live Phil and Tim

Is there any way to become a volunteer/get involved in Phil Harvey's cause?
It's so true what he said about sexual hypocrisy. "If we weren't so conflicted about our sexuality, there'd be dildos on the shelves of every Wal-mart. Obviously, the shame people feel has created a niche for us." I completely agree with this quote. Unfortunately there are not enough open-minded people like Mr. Harvey, especially of his generation. Keep up the good work, Phil Harvey!

What a great article. I've "accidentally" been put on the mailing list, and was a little freaked out by receiving pornographic literature at my home (especially since I have children). I never stopped to think about who was behind the company, or what was their motivation. Thanks, Nerve, for keeping my mind open and lubicrated!!!!

I remember sneaking copies of Adam and Eve's catalogue from the mail box when I was a kid. I had no idea all that porn stuff dad bought was going to help a good cause lol. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

There is a coding error in this story...what should be an "/A>" is written as "A/>", following the link to the "Adam and Eve" url.
Just makes it hard to read...

It's about time I found someone to give me back a sense of my long-gone pride in humans. Thanks, Harvey!

the "saving the world" part of this article made my heart feel good, and i was even considering sending for one of their catalogues to help with their cause, but it was kind of disappointing to see that harvey is "not comfortable" with homosexual sex or things that he calls "purient"... he lumps bondage magazines (which would be safe, sane, and consentual in reality even if the scenes look as though they're not) with coerson and violence. he says that they have "a panel of sex educators and therapists" who make certain that the materials "appeal to a healthy interest in sex" before the company will back them. i would argue that people who engage in responsible bdsm do have a healthy interest in sex.
i guess it's his company, though. and it's cool that he's got a set of morals and guidelines that he sticks to. he's doing good, important work.

Phil Harvey is the coolest man alive. He's my boss. He drives a station wagon and wears reading glasses on his head. He has an amazing sense of humor and a zero-sum hypocrisy principle for his political, social and sexual beliefs.
Once, during a meeting in which we were redesigning our mail-order catalog, I made a comment about the models and photos we've been using for years, saying that we were "trying to get away from 70's." He looked me in the eye and said, "I'm just trying to get back there."
Long live Phil, and long live Adam & Eve.
