Mind in the Gutter

OK, so I have this topic I wanna discuss, but I know that it will be the cause of great debate……I guess you could say a mass debate. Yes, the topic is sex, or more importantly porn, or more to the point, adult bookshops. Why am I blogging about such a thing, you ask? Well, it's like this……

On walking home from having been down the street yesterday, I walked past one of our towns two adult bookstores. While passing it, I overtook two teenagers, probably in their late teens, who seemed to be discussing the contents of the shop. The male of the two made the comment that it was disgusting, and he could not understand how people could go in there and purchase what they have to sell.

Now, my first impression was that this guy was a total prude, and he may well be, but another part of me was applauding him for his noble stance…..but I soon perished that thought. It occured to me that he was very content on judging the customers of said store, and the sole thought I had then was "My mind may be in the gutter, but it's better than having my head up my ass."

OK, OK so maybe I am being a bit harsh, but, lets face it, the people that work in those stores are not perverts as most would believe they are, yet this couple were content in their belief that this be true. And to be honest, porn is great for Sex Ed, in fact the porn industry was doing reality TV long before it became popular to film people stuck on islands, crammed in a house or singing for a recording contract.

Yes I accept the religous groups objections, and even womens rights objections, but the women in this industry are there because the want to be, and most enjoy fulfilled and rich lives when not on camera. And when people admonish this industry for it moral lowground, they obviolusly are speking uninformed. One of the greatest mistakes a person can make is talking about something they have no idea about, so to this guy that I spoke of……kindly remove your head from your ass and spend a day in the gutter, if you still feel the same way, then I applaud you, otherwise, you're just making yourself out to be ignorant.

    Mostly I agree with you, but one thing, is you have to consider the fact that the person speaking was young, probably very little experience, and has grown up with modern censorship and condemnation of pornography. He may be a prude, or brought up very religious. So he may not even realize that there could be anything positive about porn, facts which you stated quite succinctly ( where’s the damn spell check??). But i agree he will probably live his life never knowing Seka, a true talent in the industry from years ago, when it took talent…And he will probablly never know the fun it can be to watch with a partner. OK, your right, he needs to get his head out of his ass, happy, gamicus???
