SEX

(From my Facebook page) Since tonight is one of those nights when I simply don't feel like allowing my own internalized repression - which is actually VERY severe - or the repression of others to further warp my personality, I have some pretty well-considered opinions about Sexuality that I'm going to share tonight. And let's be honest, "Sexual Politics" is an emotional and ideolgical mine-field that is, if anything, even more charged and potentially dangerous tham the "drug issue." But once again, I think much of the trepidation about the very idea of sexual freedom between consenting adults stems less from a well-reasoned consideration of the facts, and more from the standpoint of that almost reflexive Anglo-American suspicion of, even aversion to, anything pleasurable in life. The regrettable Puritanical origins of US Society have caused incalculable damage to tens of millions of once-innocent people. For that matter, Crusading Hypo-Christians, Jingoistic Jews, Maniac Muslims and Hysterical Hindus bend over backwards to adhere to outdated and harmful ideas about not only actual sex acts, but about the Human Body, in all its beauty, or even not-so-beautiful manifestations. But I happen to very much LIKE the images (from the admittedly idiotic but partially erotic 2000 film "The Dukes of Hazzard") that I'm going to post right now, and firmly believe there is absolutely NOTHING indecent about them. In the comment box below, however, I'm going to post some OTHER images and text that I firmly belive IS indecent, or even obscene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzg_XJwE678 The following IS obscene, and caution is advised for the faint-of-heart: http://www.bestgore.com/tag/war-crime/ The following is CERTAINLY indecent, and might justifiably be considered downright OBSCENE: New International Version (NIV) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+4%3A9-17&version=NIV Ezekiel 4:9-17 9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. 10 Weigh out twenty shekels[a] of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. 11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin[b] of water and drink it at set times. 12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel.” 13 The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”
