Sex

Porn Chic

I mean, really, if I’m going to delete fifty comments by “asian wet pussy” a day, I may as well have something to say about our culture’s complete and total desensitization toward pornographic imagery. I remember when being a porn star was considered a bad thing. Now, I can’t surf late night TV without finding some documentary about the lives of porn actors (anyone else watch HBO?), or worse (and more common) about wanna be porn stars (Myspace?). I thought the whole point was to get paid for doing it in front of a camera. At what point did it turn into an honor?

There was a time when porn images illicited a reaction out of me. Now, it’s more like bad PR for sex.

Not to mention fashion. I’m all for sexy outfits, but I still like to be clothed. The other day my co-workers and I were trying to think of the most risque outfit someone could wear in public these days and came up with nudity (though, I am thinking of designing a line of “Business Slutty” clothes…).

I really don’t want to turn into someone who makes “it used to be…” and “kids these days…” statements, BUT it used to be that sexual imagery was titillating (anyone been titillated recently?…If so, I’m jealous) and kids these days don’t have anything left to discover. It’s all one giant red light district.

Just for today, I can sound like an old foggey (sp?).
