Fables and Myths

I foundNaomi Wolf's " The beauty Myth" far more credible than "The Porn Myth". It is difficult and rather extreme to view porn itself as the dealer, the peddler. I see the porn inclined personality's latching onto an available outlet. In some ways it is harmless. It is not a physically assaulted women, or man having unwanted sex forced on them. It is not rape. Although, very young women climbing to stardom via this vehicle seldom on recollection find it to be their finest hours.

However, I advocate legalized prostitution due to health issues. ie. AIDs, Hepatitis B and STDs. Moreover, many couples rent porn and since the muddling over "Deep Throat" people have begun to feel that perhaps their inclinations are shared with others.The viability of Sex therapy was born of this enlightenment and most are astute enough to understand that no, they do not look like that nor do the women playing the part. Cinemax offers the "After Dark" series
that is apparently still viewed as it is still on.This even paved the way for sexual minorities to view themselves as part of the big picture and hopefully absolved some of the stigmata of shame youths are laden with.

Finally. who needs censorship?. In the 1970's those attempting to see a movie, that had a plot about sex as in "the Green Door" were harrased and even arrested.

On the otherhand, returning to "The beauty Myth", growing old is increasingly a focus of shame for women as "Old" is for women while "Distinguished" describes men of equitible ages. it is also a shame linked to danger as women can only elect invasive and dangerous measures to reinvent youthfulness. The mis-use of the words retaining youthfulness are erroneous and used to calm those ,who choose dangerous elective surgerys, and botox. There is no retaining what is lost, so it is re-inventing.I am an advocate for excercise for cardiovascular purposes and i like the other secondary results, but they are secondary. The alternatives kill. Liposuction is an insidious non-surgical surgery that has killed women. The pressure on the sexes in business is outrageous. Men and women on Tv, films, women as anchors, public speakers etc.know that they will be plastered all over "The enquirer "for weight gain or aging then after procedures, again photographed for having it done. damned if you do...

Ultimately, is it the competition from younger women versus older in the marriage, work market or is the truth we age and where it defiles women most is by forbidding them to. It is making the term grow older gracefully an impossibility. Big business along with perhaps the wistful lover, who wants the girl back forgetting he is the old man. Yet, what is returned is not you. It is an altered you, and you are now the preoccupation of you. The you that motivates the new you to the occlusion of everything once held remotely important.
