A concept generated and dispersed across the web by blogger Rabbit White, Lady Porn Day is (in Rabbit’s own words) “a day to explore porn and masturbation.

The Huffington Post’s Martha Temlock recently posted on the ad, pointing out that it “was paid for by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (via the National Healthy Resource Center) to encourage couples to work on their relationship” and it appears on mass transit systems in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The website itself, the TwoOfUs.org, dispenses tips and advice on meeting the challenges of dating, engagements, family and married life.
