I like sex a great deal. Doing it, thinking about it, writing about it, reading about it, writing about it, watching it, advising people about it, dreaming about it, in fact I like just about everything about sex its sight sound and smells.
Sex workers: escorts prostitutes, exotic dancers, adult actors and actresses, etc are as needed [if not more needed] than cooks, chefs, waiters/waitress, lawyers, bailiffs, court recorders, etc.
Yet despite the fact that must of have sex and want sex this is still a culture very conflicted about sex. Just take Pornography- More than 85% is consumed by men [though more and more women do partake] and an even percentage is produced by men [though porn made by and for women is a rapidly growing market.] Even most of the woman produced porn is aimed at a male market.
Female affirmative porn is not new, in the “Hippie” spirit of the early and mid 70’s a good deal of the mainstream porn produced featured storylines of feminine empowerment [though couched in terms friendly to men] i.e. mousy, shy girl gains empowerment and has lots of hot sex.
However more recently the horrorcore and extreme gonzo genres of porn have made women not only objects but symbolic receptacles of scorn [as well as other liquids and solids.] I think that consent adults can do and see what they wish. There is however a void in terms of reflecting a realistic and well rounded vision of female sexuality.
Are there woman who want to be degraded, roughly used and treated like a sex doll. Yes and there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is a lack of balance. Amos ‘n’ Andy and the Cosby Show were both flawed depictions of Black like in the US. The truth of the lives of must Americans of African decent lies between the two. The same may be noted between most porn and say a “Lifetime” TV movie.
I have always wondered why we must ASSume that by being sex positive a woman is unintelligent. Not to mention that Bill Clinton, JFK, and Hefner etc.: sex positive men do not incur the same stigma. I’d like to see it recognized that smart woman can be sexual in a wide varieties of ways.
