Susan L.M. Goldberg writes at PJMedia:

Over at Salon, the apparent temple of all things sex-worship, Tracy Clark-Flory chronicles “The Year In Sex Writing,” explaining in part:

I read about sex, constantly. At least five days a week, I do a Google News search for “sex.” It’s one of the first things I do each morning. …As I look back at the year in sex writing, these are the pieces that stand out, the pieces that most validated that daily sex-news slog. (I’m excluding myself and Salon in general from the list, because to do otherwise would be lame, wouldn’t it?)​

...

A growing number of pop culture outlets possess an evangelistic zeal for the act of sex. Whether it is through ever-more visible bodies on network television or full-fledged sexually oriented nudity on premium cable, shows like Californication and Masters of Sex now compete with basic cable’s Sex Sent Me to the E.R., Strange Sex and Let’s Talk About Sex. Sex was so prevalent this year that Slate declared 2014 to be a “banner year for sex on television.”

We don’t just watch sex, we socialize over it via Facebook and Instagram. Teens don’t text, they “sext.” Normalization transitions into advocacy as activists campaign for “sex positive” attitudes that promote an acceptance of pornography, bondage, sadomasochism, and a whole host of sexual behaviors that prove to be physically and emotionally destructive to individuals and families. Women, who are most often the subject of naked sexualized depictions, have transitioned from holy mother figures to goddess whores enslaved on an altar our culture created to worship the act of sex.

I guess there are worse religions.

There's always the Gospel according to Inanity Ham...
 
Oh come on people, we have three-dozen never ending threads devoted to the pictorial sacrament of sex...

;)


:D
 
Awwww... I know it stings to have a thread fail like this. So I will give you a pity comment.

It isn't sex per se, it's self gratification. So one might worship sex, and the another video games, and another might go into debt for designer clothing.

Well, don't get pissy, bubelah...try saying something yourself about sex in the same length as you do politics when you get awl het up...just don't slice somebody's else's words and then leave it out there like you're phoning it in and calling it real work.

Sex in the general and specific niche now has more accessibility to a broader range of people, especially for self-pleasure. It's not an actual "worship" going on, it's people's ability to enjoy it more in a mutually satisfactory and beneficial way.

Wrong account.

You're asking the Chief to give us his own opinion?

Not gonna happen.

People might take issue with his opinion.

Its much safer for him to hide behind the words of others.

"plausible deniability", don'tcha know.

Or in the immortal words of the racist vettebigot:
"I never said that! I never commented on that! I was merely passing it along!"

I'm actually amazed he's bringing up the topic of sex as a thread to begin with. Thought he wasn't into it no mo'. Moved beyond the plebeian prurient interests of the flesh and alla that. :D
 
I think it's pretty accurate. You only have to look at certain quarters of Lit to see it in action. How to have the biggest/ hardest/wettest/loudrst/ orgasm. How to cum more. How to taste/smell/look/be/do/want /give better. How to fuck anyone who's not my wife. How to get my wife to fuck someone who is not me.

There's a "more more mentality" and I think it's just another part of this entitlement era.

There's a meme of a praying mantis with no head, the caption "Doesn't matter, had sex!". Seems about right.... Sex at all costs.

Or maybe I'm just jaded.
I hijacked a thread recently to extol the joys of celibacy, and was roundly shouted down...:(

And the same person might worship all three in a single afternoon. Excellent point.
 
Did you ever see the Zalman King movie, Pleasure or Pain? I want to know the name of the short haired brunette escort in the club scene, so I can look up her nude pics and post them in a sacramental sort of way, for the next week or so.:D

Seen it?


I've never even heard of it!
 
It's really sad the lengths you go to, trying to feel relevant. This thread and your responses are lame, at best.

Quoted for irony and as is typical, a stunning lack of self-awareness.
