Naomi Wolf talking dirty like that make me so randy, baby!

Very interesting.

"For most of human history, erotic images have been reflections of, or celebrations of, or substitutes for, real naked women. For the first time in human history, the images’ power and allure have supplanted that of real naked women."

Like Duh, :p

Pictures of naked women are practically better than the real thing sometimes - all the enjoyment of looking at 'em and you don't have to put up with their crap.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Sex has no mystery.”

Poor kid. When I was his age, sex had a lot of mystery. Kids his age think we are "prudes" for wanting to keep that mystery alive. They will never have any idea what they are really missing by not "missing" anything.

Very interesting article...we have reached a point where less may indeed be more.

that is outsourcing and currency devaluation taken to the extreme!

Sounds like we're facing a buyers market on poon.

Try spending hours searching for 'content'.
Boring isn't the word....

Is "chafed" the word?

To quote the great Zap Brannigan:

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is bruised and spongy."

Every generation gets the sex it deserves.

I guess sex is just like food.

I dated a girl like that once, the relationship was shortened because of the lack of Mystery, nothing left to experience or conquer or share together. You have to have some kind of challenge to make it interesting.

Good article.

Interesting...I'm not sure if I agree with it, though I don't completely disagree. Just for the sake of conversation...

There are also a lot of women out there that do 'measure up' to the porn stars, this is an obvious point that Ms. Wolf fails to mention or consider. Additinally, there are women that are completely satisfied and happy with their sex lives, as well as their partners.

Perhaps those women that feel imbarrased or underqualified about their sexuality could learn a little something by watching some porn, or by developing some self-confidence, instead of dismissing it, and outcasting permiscuous hotties as 'sluts' and 'skanky b*tches'...Jealous much?

What is wrong with wanting to bang like a porn star? Who decided they are all bad, Oprah? Why all the negativity man? :D

Same here... when I was in high school if a girl let you touch her boobs while kissing good night it was major excitement. I hate to think what a girl has to do to impress a teenage boy today.

Especially when you consider things like this:Rachel is a real girl. The list was taken from her website. Rachel is a typical young American woman. Keep in mind that she expects everything on the list simply because she has vagina.

Here is a typical 28yo American woman's personals ad. Interestingly, the only things she says about herself is that she is lazy, *****y, ugly, and does not like giving blowjobs.

This is my ideal guy:

1. He has talent I can respect. Either he is a great artist or a musician with his own style or otherwise great at some craft. His talent doesn't follow the herd.
2. If he is not artistic than at least he enjoys the arts, music and books. If he has an interest in anything beyond mindless pop culture, video games and TV, that would be ideal. Not that any of that is too bad, but there is just so much more to life.
3. He has goals, not dreams. He strategizes on how he can realize his goals in light of whatever life has handed him as his fate.
4. He is an animal lover and has compassion for people.
5. He is financially solvent. He doesn't spend money he doesn't have and doesn't try to buy a woman's affection. He plans his livestyle to be uncomplicated and has common sense in regards to what is a wise investment or not.
6. He is not selfish and self-centered.
7. He likes his mom and female siblings and is nice to them.
8. He takes care of his emotional health as well as being conscious of his physical health.
9. He lives to travel and be spontaneous.
10. He is a one woman guy. He is not constantly searching for new ass. He's not an oral freak and wants to be with a girl who isn't into it either. He likes touching, kissing, giving and receiving massages. He knows where tha g-spot is.
11. He likes an independent lady who has her own interests, goals, and ideas and is supportive of her reaching them, as opposed to competing with her or taking no interest.
12. He wants to have a child. Not immediately, but he does see that in his future. He doesn't currently have any.
13. He's never been told by a girlfriend that he needs professional psychological help. If he has, he has gotten it and its been at least 5 years since he's gotten better.
14. He would rather do the right thing than try to get away with something.
15. He was not raised catholic.
16. He can cook and do his own laundry and doesn't expect his girlfriend to do it.
17. He believes in karma.
18. He listens to his inner voice and doesn't deny his real feelings. He can discuss issues and conflicts civily, even though a complete resolution may not come about.
19. He is not looking for a super model, but a real, normal person.

Take it one step beyond that.

When you consider information like this, it looks more & more like the pendulum has begun to swing back the other way.

Sounds picky, but at least I agree on that one point.

I believe in karma, I figure if someone doesn't give this girl the time of day, she probably deserves it.

(it's also how I justify being mean to people, they must deserve it too)

:D
