Good Lord, There's Gonna Be an Orgy!

Okay, there's not really an orgy... Or maybe there is? But it's not here. I did get your attention though huh? Apparently the prudish (and I use that as a very loose definition, and in comparison to the rest of the world's sexuality) United States is becoming more overtly sexual. Who knew? amNY did! I only know because it was the cover story; and that's the newspaper with the crossword, sudoku, AND ken-ken games. The paper's article was focusing more on porn, and I mean, if that isn't a STOP and Read Me beacon then I don't know what is.

The writer was saying that porn-ish (?) culture was infiltrating our daily lives. What with designers advertising their clothes and jewelry with half naked models. Sex appeal is clearly the selling point for many a marketing campaign.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Calvin Klein X 

Calvin Klein X

Mind you, not that I care particularly how they go about their marketing. Sex sells, it is what it is. He's got a hot bod, and it's a hot ad. I may go to "that Fitch place" just to see more half naked white boys. But companies like Abercrombie, and Calvin Klein in his X campaign received so much criticism for the overly sexual subtext. 

The article was saying that nowadays marketing campaigns are borderline porn (really? porn?) and that younger generations - I'm thinking like 30s and under - are eating it up. What used to be obscene and strictly contained within a small audience is becoming more expansive. All those "seedy" sexual preferences are becoming popular fads - chains and whips excite me na-na-na come on S-S-S & M-M-M

But more than Rihanna's catchy song about S and M, the article mentioned how today's youth and those young 20-30 somethings in my age group are more into recreational sex than relationships. They mentioned sexting (which is verbal foreplay via text messages, in case you couldn't come up with that on your own) and even talked to professors in social behavior. In the regime of the "porn creep" they say that intimacy is being socialized out of sex. Of course, when you can read about last night's sexual exploits and drunken debauchery on textfromlastnight.com, I may have to agree with that statement. 

(412): New bet. First person to f*** their girlfriend and narrate the whole thing in Morgan Freeman's voice wins. You are disqualified if she asks you about. My girlfriend is on her rag. U have the headstart. Your move...

I have the textfromlastnight app, and every hour I get updates from the website. It makes me feel better when I start thinking that my life is out of order. I get first (maybe second) hand details of some person's night, along with the rest of the world wide web. Most of the time the texts are about last night's random hook-ups. The amNY article mentioned that mostly it's guys that are into the no-strings sex, but that's not true. A good portion of the tfln debauchery is perpetrated by equally uncommitted females. 

I'm withholding judgement on these people; because, frankly, I don't know their lives. I guess the article made me think about the people who don't want just casual sex. The people who want some sort of connection, other than physical, to their hook-ups. I wonder about younger girls. My niece is 15. Will she fall victim to the recreational sex fad, and lose her virginity to some guy who just "wants to stick it in". Or will she find someone special, that cares for her and that she loves? Is it even possible to make that connection these days?

I imagine emotionally detached sex, while physically satisfying, is different from the all-encompassing passion of sex with someone that you love... And until you find someone like that do you settle? So let's talk about sex baby...

It's a new world for a boy and a girl; letting go of it all, holding on to one another. Oh, there's a whole other world to discover...under the covers. So if you wanna go, baby let's go.

the rest is still UNwritten
