      <description>Porn cameos, cupcakes, anonymous blogging and sexy schoolteachers &#8211; these are just some of the topics we touch upon as I chat it up with Rachel Kramer Bussel, sex columnist for The Village Voice and the blogger behind Lusty Lady. In a free-ranging discussion, we talked about formerly anonymous blogger Abby Lee, author of the book GIRL WITH A ONE-TRACK MIND, and whether or not she should have expected she&#8217;d be &#8220;outed&#8221; by the British press; why frank sex blogging is important for society; why we still obsess about sex and sex &#8216;scandals&#8221; in the wake of Bill Clinton and Monicagate; and whether teachers should be held to stricter &#8220;moral standards&#8221; than other mere mortals.</description>
