Sex on TV

Lets talk about sex! There is a wide spread belief that humans and maybe a handful of other animals are the only ones to have sex for fun. WRONG. Sorry kiddos we didn't come up with that one. In fact, almost all kinds of sexual activities we engage in, animals do too. These include masturbation, oral sex, homosexuality, prostitution, fetishes, coercive sex, sexual cannibalism, necrophilia, cross species sex, and the matter at hand- sexual imagery viewing. Free porn, all around us! Just pick your flavor!

I, for one, think it's a healthy thing, pornography that is, and an integral part of being human. Countless men AND women enjoy porn every day and, mind you, not only in the comfort and privacy of their homes, but at work, in the car, on the train, etc. It's "adult entertainment". Ha! I saw my first porno when I was maybe 10 or 11. We used to watch it with my cousins (two girls and one boy) in the kids room while our parents had the real adult entertainment in the living room- eating, drinking, dancing, and laughing. And quite frankly it was very educational. Because lets face it, mommy and daddy won't sit you down and talk to you about gangbangs, and facial cumshots, and all that stuff that's quite common in porn. Instead they'll talk to you about when a girl meets a boy and they really like each other blah. Yes, porn is ridiculous and unrealistic at times, but it gave me, at least, a much better idea of sexuality than the book my mom handed me over to read. For one those silly genital sketches are so ridiculous and xtube has some very high quality imagery, presented in a much more entertaining and captivating manner.

Yet still there is very little on mainstream TV to suggest we've moved beyond the dogmas. I remember that sex party that Brenda went to in Six Feet Under. And that's HBO, not network television, mind you. So I say, lets see more of that, lets see more of what's out there. It's fun, it's arousing, it's educational, it's common. I guess it's a matter of time, and I think... the time is now.
