Ultimately Less Libidinous

The Porn Myth, by Naomi Wolf

This is the best bit from an otherwise silly and regressive article… the “money shot” of sorts:

“Does all this sexual imagery in the air mean that sex has been liberated—or is it the case that the relationship between the multi-billion-dollar porn industry, compulsiveness, and sexual appetite has become like the relationship between agribusiness, processed foods, supersize portions, and obesity? If your appetite is stimulated and fed by poor-quality material, it takes more junk to fill you up. People are not closer because of porn but further apart; people are not more turned on in their daily lives but less so.”

C’mon, Naomi “Pining for Orthodoxy” Wolf, there’s no erotic intensity when you screw through a hole in the sheet.

    Good old States of 18th century puritanic lifestyle!

    Markus: The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    Someone tell Naomi that the porn problem stems from male reproductive biotechnological obsolescence:

    As dispensable as the grainy, 21-second MP3!

    I agree with her. She has some good points.

    Rod: Sure, she has some good points, but there’s no turning back the clock.
