"While I had listened to several of the Bat's 'casts over the last year, it is only when you consume one (sometimes two) a day over the course of a week, that you really begin to get the wow factor of all the Bat has time to do. I mean, the intros alone are sort of other-worldly."

I love Nina Hartley.
Wow, you have a website. I am an individual male and very shy. I would love to broaden my sex life but to what medium can I use the best that reaches the women of my life that actually are quite sexually active.
Nina, you have a broad sense of sexuallity that I wish I had found in other women. Sex should be casual and exploring and adventurous. I always noticed that America promotes Sex as a a tease and let down as dicipated on TV . But I heard Europe has a different concept of sex only because TV veiws sex as ” Casual, exploring and adventurous.” In fact porn is a norm.
The sexual explotation is always the interest in the subject of being satistfied as an adult who wishes to fulfill their sexuality as long as sex exists.
AHHH, and may you CUM/
EVAN.
NINA HARTLEY IS THE HOTTEST WOMAN ON EARTH I LL GIVE ALL I GOT TOO FUCK HER
Wow… she’s really smart, she talks marvellously and she’s funny with it. Now *that’s* hot
Many wise words, and she name-checks some other smart gals too: e.g., if you liked this, maybe get yourself some Betty Dodson
Bat, thanks lots for having her on the show. One request: shorter questions (and perhaps more of ‘em)… Please ?
Good work, guys.

I had the privledge of meeting Miss Hartley at a Gentleman’s Club (in 2000) where she appeared as a featured attraction. I took a couple of photos with her, I asked her about performing with the Hedgehog, Ron Jeremy, and Peter North. She spoke highly of them. It was a joyful experience meeting her. A classy and ingtelligent woman who understands her sexuality. It was an awesome experience! She’s at the top five of my list of all time great adult women actresses. I would love for her to rock my world for one day. –Bob. Los Angeles
