A PORN star has claimed priests should watch porn - in a bid to prevent sexual abuse.
US actress Belladonna - who has starred in 250 x-rated films with both men and women - is in Australia to push her career in the same week the Pope is visiting for World Youth Day.

The married mum is on her fifth visit Down Under for the Sydney Sexpo event, which starts next week.

And she had some advice for Pope Benedict XVI.

Education

The 27-year-old said: `The Pope has indicated he might apologise to victims of sexual abuse and that is a positive thing to do.

`But unless he follows up with some practical advice that addresses the sexual needs and desires of clergy, the problem will simply continue.

`Church clergy are at a crisis because they get no real street-level sex education but are expected to ply the streets to deliver their spiritual message.`

Belladonna said she could offer a `meaningful set of exercises for priests to help them deal with sexual tension and stress`.

And the porn star said the clergy needed to be able to distinguish a sexual fetish or fantasy from real-life sex.

She even offered 300 of her own movies to the Australian Catholic church.
