WIngnut said, “Porn turns your sexual drive inward”.

Isn’t that a good thing? Cause when your drive is turned “outward”, you end up with your ugly mug on the TV news, with reports of hookers, meth, diapers, bathroom stalls, and blackmailing cuckolded husbands.

Someone better tell the good people of Utah about this. They’re leading the nation in pay-per-view.

It is plain amazing that these Hannitized (sic) Dittoheads, BECKTOTUSIANS, RandallNuts and followers of GOP demagogues on the HILL, will cut the branch they are sitting on if their leaders say the winds of change are a blowing.

There’s sad irony in dressing the women in Little House on the Prairie style and running out to the XXX stores that dot the highway in flyover land, right next to the billboards telling us to keep those blue-eyed babies.

The hypocrisy is incredible but the stupidity eclipses it. Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason. The entry of every day people into the making of porn for the Internet happened for a reason. People like porn. They want it, they consume it and it isn’t going away.

The people who can suck on that remark are not just conservative clowns.

Great that the reichtards are right on top of this issue. For the (former) First Amendmment and Griswold v. Connecticut, not so much. I guess they’re OK sheltering in the penumbra of the zone of privacy afforded by a stall in a public restroom.

Morning all. Be interesting to see what hotel in room movies were rented in DC during the 9/12 weekend and family values summit.

wiki has a great article on porn

When large scale excavations of Pompeii were undertaken in the 1860s, much of the erotic art of the Romans came to light, shocking the Victorians who saw themselves as the intellectual heirs of the Roman Empire. They did not know what to do with the frank depictions of sexuality, and endeavored to hide them away from everyone but upper class scholars. The moveable objects were locked away in the Secret Museum in Naples, Italy and what could not be removed was covered and cordoned off as to not corrupt the sensibilities of women, children and the working class

and the next paragraph goes straight to the heart of the matter

The Victorian attitude that pornography was for a select few can be seen in the wording of the Hicklin test stemming from a court case in 1868 where it asks, “whether the tendency of the matter charged as obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences.” Despite the fact of their suppression, depictions of erotic imagery were common throughout history

‘
swartz is floating a trial balloon, porn for us is fine but for you, not so much

throughout history sexuality is villified to gain power, you can’t stop sexuality but you can make people think there’s something wrong with it and then you own them

Good morning, pups. It’s The Pasty Little Putz, Mr. Cohen and Prof. Krugman this morning. The Pasty Little Putz, in “The Self-Correcting Presidency,” says George W. Bush made two disaster-averting interventions for which presidents usually get canonized — but in his case, the disasters he averted were created on his watch. Mr. Cohen, who is in Lisbon, sends in “Of Polish Angst and NATO.” He says President Obama’s move on missiles highlights fissures in NATO as it tries to redefine its role for the 21st century. Prof. Krugman, in “Reform or Bust,” says putting limitations on how bankers are compensated is a populist idea, but it is also good politics and good economics.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. It looks like we’re in for more rain today. If I’m looking at the map correctly, and don’t have it upside down or something, Raven may be getting rain now, and it’ll head our way later today. Have a great day.

Nah it’s just the Disney Channel

Yah right

60% chance of rain here too with a high of 52.

Has anyone here watched Bill O’Reilly lately? Half his show is soft-porn. I watched recently and he did a story (with pix) of a car wash staffed by girls in bikinis followed by a ‘quiz’ on actresses (forgot the theme of the quiz) but he showed Angie Dickensen as Police Woman and some others in very sexy situations. He goes out of his way to do stories that include titillating photos. Must be needing some help to get it up.

Funny, the wraps are off now, our guide pointed out the phallic directional sign showing how to get to the Best Little W’House in Pompeii, and the different ethnic backgrounds of the signs inside. No XXX’s there.

Oh right. Swartz thinks 11 yr old boys, let alone adult males, are going to believe looking at a playboy magazine is homosexual? Bizarre. I would love to have seen the expressions on the faces of the male rightwingers listening to Swartz when he said that.

I’m off to be a tiny cog in the medical industrial complex…

Their faces were buried in Hustler

here’s what’s actually going on;

sex is empowering from all perspectives, it gives men and women the power of life after all

in order to control people you have to give them something they think they need, we need immortality those seeking power created religion

the drive to procreate is a force of nature and cannot be denied, however if they vilify that force then you need to go to them for redemption

funny, if you believe in evolution then the sex drive is part of that, the need to procreate, if you believe in the Christian/Judaic bible it is actually a commandment (go forth and multiply)

I don’t want anyone to think I’m naive, but actually, I don’t understand his point. Is he equating masturbation with homosexuality?

so according to some wing nuts sites, the nea is going to be another sex scandal…I don’t want it tracked back here so google patterico’s pontification to get the story

Mornin’ all,

Thats the beauty of Directv. When the XXX pay per view expires just channel surf down to the fundie preacher channels and ask a little forgiveness.

yes, that’s exactly what his point is, he thinks self arousal is the same thing as doing it with the same sex

he’s got a point there you know, when ever I have had self arousal it was with a man, (myself) and I am a man, therefore I must clearly be homosexual

it goes hand in…well you get the idea

BLUEJEANS!!!!

all good?

LOVED the pics, thanx for sending!

good question. I’m thinking that more research on this whole porn thing is needed….

If you are among the powerful you can hang out at C-street where the candy dishes are filled with viagra and extenze.

I guess the ‘you’ll go blind’ threat didn’t work.

Off to the salt mines. See all later.

I know my vision is not nearly as good as it was before I reached puberty

me thinks the threat is true!!!

*though that was some decades ago so it sure did take long enough to do it’s damage*

Hey perris,

Recently called Directv about the infestation of preachers on their service. Agent said can remove or block them with my remote control.

Hagee and his apocalypse horses are first on my list.

Being raised Catholic ,I was taught that sex was evil .
Something to feel guilty about

I never believed it in fact I didn’t believe have of what they tried to teach us.
I used to think grown-ups were stupid for believing the fairy tales they told about in Church

Just saying !

I recall the hilarity that ensued when the nuns tried sex ed.

Nuns taught sex ed to the girls in our school and the priests handled taught the boys.

Don’t recall any probs with pedophilia in those days, but it just struck me that most of the altar boys were also on the track team.

funny, in my school it was the football team that tought sex ed to the girls and the womens volleyball team tha tought sex ed to the boys

go figure

So, Schwartz think about the sex lives of eleven year old boys much?

Yer killin’ me perris!

and joelmael… BINGO!

What morons. ALL sex ultimately ends with you “turning inward”. Just TRY and come without being totally self-focused at that point.

According to these morons ALL sex, regardless of its nature or regardless of who it is with, should be verboten as “homosexual” in the self-focused sense.

funny thing is I most kids don’t need porn to pleasure themselves, I never used it when I was an adolescent I fantasized about real people in my life

Heh! Just thinking of how “porn turns you gay,” one of the anti-porn feminists was debating some of the fellows on her campus back when she went to college about how ponr was bad for women. The gays on campus responded that as their porno didn’t even feature women, her theories were irrelevant to them. She responded back that, oh no, as gay performers performed in the role of women (Defined as submissive), that meant that even gay porno harmed women.
As one could guess, anti-porn feminism was a complete bust. Like the arch-conservatives, their ideas on sexuality were a bit weird.

I don’t know if anyone saw TV this AM, I was alerted by someone who knows the the couple that WalMart turned in for child porn b/c of photos of their children in the bathtub.

Another reason to boycott WalMart. This couple was investigated by the Ariz. children’s authority, children removed from home, she was let go as a teacher, they were listed as sex offenders, they have had $50K in lawyer fees to get their children back (now in therapy) and try to clear their names as the result of a WalMart employee turning them in for baby pictures.

Yes. There’s one strain of ancient Freudian “deviant” psychology that views homosexuality as narcissism. The logic goes “you love yourself…member of the same sex is like you…ergo you are having sex with yourself”.

Of course, the logical extension of this is that people who select mating partners from the same social class, ethnicity, religion, politics, nationality, etc. are also basically “finding themselves” in their lover. Narcississism.

Presumably one should have sex with rocks.

But that’s where this nonsense comes from. Ignore for the moment that some gays find partners that are vastly different from themselves in personality or background. That some of the so-called “self love” is the result of societal denial of recognizing long-term partnerships and adoption and parenthood. So , in reality these X’tian fanatics are forcing narcissism on people by alienating them from normal social relationships that they want to have.

It almost makes one think that, if conservatives were to disappear, they would actually achieve their own stated goals. Less porn, less violence, less… well, everything, really.

Again, I think we on the Left would hate the Right a lot less if it actually lived up to its own values.

Ah, the wingnuts have come up with a new version of “it’ll grow hair on your palms.” That will work, yep.

I used to sneak peeks at my dad’s Playboy stash and I ended up gay, but then again, I used to look at the issues from the streaking and hippie era that had naked men in them.

That Southern conservatives are some of the biggest consumers of porn should come as no surprise. They have consistently been among the most narrow minded and hypocritical in nearly every facet of our society. For generations they have loudly thumped their Bibles on Sunday while the rest of the week they supported segregation, lynchings, Jim Crow, and before that slavery. These folks are ignorant moralizers who engage not in religion, but tribalism.

These misanthropic buffoons should be ostracized and mocked continuously.

Oh. My. God. I have pictures of my three wet, naked little doggies all lathered up in the bathtub and I still have them on my cell phone. Thank Jeebus I didn’t take them with my old school film camera and then have to get arrested for trafficking in beastiality porn. Phew! (;>

Onan tried that sex with rocks thing, and he was soundly smote by Yaweh for spilling his seed . . . or his rocks. Just sayin’.

Actually, he got in trouble for not having a child with his brother’s wife, which was the law and custom in Israel at the time, rather than for spilling his seed on a rock. That’s a very common and completely incorrect misconception- but it’s so common that it’s small wonder that it’s shown up here.

Never trust a Southerner on what the Bible says. They ignore the parts of it they don’t like- for instance, the bit on God creating both man AND woman in God’s own image.
