I saw the new Penn and Teller Bullshit show about pornography and like all of them was well done. This one of course had a lot more nudity but then it is Penn and Teller. They introduced us to three people who were loudly talking out against it. I found it interesting that the two women that were so against it were British living and teaching in the US. I guess they should watch the new Showtime series with Billie Piper and if they can get the interview with her where she states that the Brits are one society with their head up their ass about sexuality.
One of the women was actually insulting. She equated watching porn to increasing the libido of men to incite them to rape. That statement was quickly dispelled by the facts that the parts of the country that have wide access to the Internet and porn have a lowered rate in the last decade but in the parts where porn is outlawed and access is actually restricted by the provider rape is up. I guess that must just be coincidence.
Then a statement was made about shaven women and how this is an open incitement to child molestation. WTF. This woman is way out there. Yes, men find shaven women interesting but not because the remind them of little girls but because everything is there to see and when you get up close and personal you do not get any hair in your mouth at least in my case. Do I want to have sex with a child because of it, that thought makes me ill.
One point that was hammered home was that rape and sex are two entirely different things. One is a crime and one is beautiful.
I did like the pastor of the xx x church that has Saturday or Sunday Pancakes and Porn get togethers, but his is against porn and eating my pancakes and watching porn is hard to do at the diner so it might be interesting.
Penn also said that the amount and variety of porn is staggering. I agree, there are things available that I never thought of or thought were just some weird fantasy, but no, you can find it on the net. Some things I see there are interesting and may be worth a try with the right willing partner, others are just plain no for too many reasons.
They also discussed if porn is addictive and there is no fact. Do I stare at my computers for hours on end looking at it, no. Have I, once or twice when I was really checking out a new thing I might go to a few different sites just because I could not believe my eyes.
Finally with all the money spent on studies starting as far back as the Johnson administration and then followed up by the Meese commission under Ronnie Rayguns no link was ever found to porn and rape or sex crimes.
I will have to think about that porn and pancakes thing again.
