PORNOGRAPHY

"The only problem I've found with pornography is that there's not enough good pornography." -Lydia Lunch, 1993



If I want to use the f-word, I can do that in many different ways. I can say it right out, as I did in Montreal in April during a busy weekday lunch hour when I fell in front of a busy restaurant. I can say "eff-ing." I can substitute my mother's favorite word "frig." [For years I wondered why she hated her refrigerator so much...]. I can use the now socially-acceptable word "Funk." [Its' meaning seems to have changed over the years]. I can even get high-falutting in my swearing by yelling out, "Copulation!"

If I want to describe what two naked people do or what a cow and a bull do or what the fruitflies in someone's kitchen are doing, I can call it "f***ing" or "reproducing" or "making love" or "proliferating" or "getting frisky" or "sexing each other up."

I have read many many blogs on Yahoo 360 which speak about intimacy between people. Some of those encounters involve sex between consenting adults. And they are well-written with "redeeming literary value." [the Miller test ]. These blogs are so incredibly well-written that I feel like I have been transported to the scene being described.

A part of my soul dies when agencies, companies, or internet incorporateds make it clear that [they believe that] adults can no longer be trusted to police themselves.

Pornography exists. Some of us like it. Get over it.
