If you ban my thongs, I’ll be forced to go commando!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Bad news for men’s fetish of thongs:

DOCTORS are calling for G-strings to be banned — because they are bad for girls’ health.

Experts in Germany warn that the skimpy pants can damage skin and cause infections.

Gynaecologists prefer women to wear traditional bigger knickers after seeing an “enormous” rise in patients reporting genital inflammation.

Dr Thomas Gent said: “G-strings can abrade and injure the sensitive skin around the genital area — especially if they are too tight or made with badly stitched material.”

The thing is, however, I’ve been wearing thongs for years now and I’m fine. In fact, I find thongs are more comfortable than other types of underpants… but, hey, if the doctor says it’s bad for your health, who am I to argue… I’m just a woman who wears the thongs every day of the year.

A time for reform…

Man… I wish I had a teacher like this back when I was in high school:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (UPI) — An eighth-grade Danish schoolteacher, who showed a 10-minute film clip of two adults having oral sex, has been reported to police.

The teacher, who was teaching a class in sex education on sexuality and puberty, is reported to have also shown her students pictures from a pornographic magazine, according to the Frederiksborg Amts Avis newspaper.

The teacher, whose name has not been made public, has been removed as a sex education teacher, but some parents want the teacher removed permanently from the school because students say she continues to mention sexual issues in other subjects she teaches, reported the Copenhagen Post Sunday.

The school`s principal had reprimanded the teacher immediately after the incident — not for showing the adult material, but because it could be considered a copyright violation.

Beautiful last sentence… how ironic.

Perhaps the teacher went a little far by showing the porn to teenagers, but it does make some sense when you think of it. What could demonstrate oral sex and vaginal penetration better than watching it on a television screen? Can you imagine how difficult it must be to teach sex-ed, let alone attempt to describe what oral sex is without showing it to the class? I was almost sick to my stomach in Grade 9 because I was forced to sit and watch a woman give birth to a baby… it was messy, revolting and looked painful as hell. Why not allow the same teens to watch short scenes of sexual penetration in order to help them better understand the function of sex? Instead of simply preaching abstinence, perhaps schools should reform the sex education system by including both the sexual penetration and the birth processes. Showing both the cause and the effect are ways to make sex less tantalizing… and by including graphic images showing/describing the physical effects of STDs this could better educate children from young ages to use protection and to be more cautious.

The majority of children learn about sex from porn anyways… whether it be shown by a high school sex-ed teacher or by finding it on the Internet or in one of their relative’s secret hiding places. I remember when this boy I used to babysit first learnt about sex… his mother told me that one of his friends typed ’sex’ on google.com and they visited some porn sites… after that, the boy started to understand what it was all about and asked his mother some questions so he could work out the details in his mind. In fact, I myself only started to understand sex when I saw my first scrambled porn film called ‘Sinderella’ back in the early-mid 90s. Before that moment, sex was just diagrams to me.

Sex is nothing to be ashamed of and should be discussed with your children… one should always be open to talking with their child about sex and not scolding them for being curious. Parents should be more responsible, but less restrictive… the problem is that parents are afraid to address the issue.

The Freedom of Expression conundrum

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

They are messing with our minds!!!

Yesterday in the news, there was an article about how a British court has ruled to restrict the selling of adult films online and through the mail:

Two pornography companies had argued that a law banning the sale of videos by post was an “unjustified interference with freedom of expression”.

But Lord Justice Maurice Kay, upholding a lower court ruling, said it was a legitimate way to help prevent pornography being sold to children.

“We have no doubt that one of the main reasons for the restriction is to ensure that the customer comes face-to-face with the supplier so that there is an opportunity for the supplier to assess the age of the customer,” he said.

The restrictions were therefore “lawful, necessary and proportionate” under the Human Rights Act.

The two porn merchants had argued that videos sent out in the post had effectively been purchased from licensed sex shops that dispatched them, but the judges rejected this argument.

Now today, there is more buzz on the Internet about how the British Office of Communications (Ofcom) is going to allow more sex and violence on British TV:

Television viewers face a dramatic rise in sex, swearing and violence after restrictions on what can be shown were swept away.

The broadcasting regulator Ofcom signalled the dawn of a new permissive era by stating “freedom of expression” was the principle at the heart of its new broadcasting code.

The code will see tighter rules on protecting young viewers before the 9pm watershed.

So, it seems like softcore porn and swearing will be more readily available on television and that the watershed age will be raised from 15 to 18 years old. This is great news for the future of humanity, however, I am unsatisfied with it since at the same time it will be illegal to buy porn through private channels. While Ofcom is trying to liberalize the media and stop policing the public’s bedrooms, this judge has decided to invade British bedrooms in Ofcom’s place.

If I were still living in the UK, this probably wouldn’t affect me very much since I love to go into sex shops and regular video stores and openly rent the latest hardcore gangbang film… but, I do feel bad for the poor sods out there who find it easier to buy porn from the Internet or by mail since it saves them the humiliation of doing it out in public.

Screw the kids… just because that one uptight stick-up-his-ass British judge wishes to restrict porn from children doesn’t mean it will have any effect on those children. Instead British youth will look at free porn on the net or will buy it from another country via the net. What does this judge think that he will prove by placing restrictions on the method of purchasing porn? The only people affected by this ruling are the porn merchants… those poor poor porn merchants.

Great Britain has been ahead of us for years… most households in the UK had widecreen digital (ie. high definition) television sets over 3 years ago! I wonder what the judge thinks about renting porn through digital television… will that be banned as well or will Ofcom continue to allow hardcore porn to be rented/accessed by the touch of a button?

Deep Throat traitor…

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Deep Throat star Harry Reems, the first actor ever prosecuted for his work by the federal government, has unfortunately turned to Christianity:

For nearly three decades, Harry had been content to leave things unexplained. The trial had unleashed demons that nearly killed him - drink, drugs, debt, debasement, destitution, disease, institutionalisation - until he staggered into 12-step meeting in Park City, Utah, in the summer of 1989.

His life has been blessed since then, he says. He has married, embraced Christianity (though he was raised and still identifies himself as Jewish), and become a successful real-estate broker. He had no need for vindication, no interest in mucking through the past until he met the documentary team of Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, directors of Inside Deep Throat.

Nice, sort of boring, article about his Christianity and how he was the poster boy for a freedom of expression movement and about how he is now making the Inside Deep Throat documentary regardless of his personal born-again beliefs. The troubling part of this article is the description of how he and his wife met:

They met at a 12-step meeting. ‘I thought it might be a good place to meet someone who believed in God,’ she explains. ‘Everyone else I knew was an atheist. I never spoke because I knew I wasn’t an alcoholic, but I really enjoyed hearing the stories.’

This is troubling to me… it reminds me of what I have been told about Alcoholics Anonymous programs. I have heard from nurses that born-again Christian groups take it upon themselves to send representatives to recovering alcoholic meetings in order to spread the word and recruit more Christians for their cause… I mean, just look at the current President of the United States… he traded his addiction to alcohol for his addiction to Jesus all at the same time.

An example of this growing problem can be seen in the organization Alcoholics For Christ, who manipulate the minds of the weak (ie. Alcoholics, drug addicts) for their own cult gains. The historical first mission of Alcoholics For Christ is documented here:

In 1976 a born-again recovering alcoholic attended an A.A men’s retreat. He had attended others in the past 1 1/2 years of his recovery and had always left these retreats with something good. This retreat was to be different. This retreat would be the beginning of a vision from God. He reasoned after the retreat that if people could stay sober without professional help at group meetings, why could not the same principals work on retreats as well. So in that same year he organized a retreat for A.A. men with a slight difference. All the leadership were born-again Christians.

Two significant miracles happened at this retreat. The first was that except for the leadership, no one else was a Christian, but by the end of the retreat on Sunday almost every man there had made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

God help us…

Perfecting the dance…

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Today I was a little disappointed with my dance class since we didn’t work on anything new. We actually did the exact same routine as last week and just worked on it a little more. I had the dance down really well already, though, since I had practiced it and performed it for my darling Zod last week… so I wasn’t really impressed.

But, then again, I guess there isn’t really much that one can do without other props such as a pole or a whip or something… mmm… whip dancing… (Note to self: buy full length whip, learn to use it and start teaching classes. Note to Zod: find me a whip school and send me.). We started the class by learning the dances standing up… then we moved on to lap dancing… and now for the past couple of weeks we’ve been doing chair-prop striptease routines. Oh, how I long to return to the lap dance section… I’m sure my almighty Zod would concur.

So… all this means that tomorrow I will be doing the same routine yet again… a third class in a row… yeesh… I really hope that they develop a new routine for next week!

Last night I was hanging out with the advanced pupils in the class… stretching my muscles and preparing my body to adjust to doing the splits again… it was great to stretch and to socialize with the elite crowd… I just hope that I get into that class soon because they have access to a pole!

I’m feeling a little tired today and I believe it’s a result of all the stretching… my muscles are adjusting… I can feel it.
