PORN VALLEY—The New York Times may be edited 3,000 miles from the "porn capital of the world," but its ignorance of what happens in the adult industry gets read worldwide—and someone has to call them on it.
On February 9, Times correspondent Ian Lovett published an article on the current controversy, much covered on this website, about whether condom use should be required for all on-camera sex scenes.

That response, reproduced below, was emailed to The Times on February 10, but to date, there has been no response from the "Paper of Record."
