About Ricardo
It’s all about love and fear. If you fear sex and nudity more than you love sex and nudity, then that closes you down instead of opening you up. It helps create a culture where we celebrate death and violence and we literally demonize sex and nudity. So my struggle against sex-negativity continues with my current sex projects.
Being sex-negative is just as ignorant as being a racist or homophobic. There can be no true freedom without the freedom of sexual expression. Sex isn’t some dirty, shameful thing to be confined to the shadows, or worse, exploited and grossly misrepresented by the porn industry.
Sex is life, sex is wonderful, sex is terrible, sex is messy, sex is fun, sex is powerful, sex is beautiful.
Sex is too important to leave in the hands of pornographers.
