Lust and Resentment

I love those moments when someone says the things you are thinking I your head perfectly... or provides you with a perspective that truly clarifies an outlook for you.Dan Savage often does that for me.Let me start by saying that if you don't listen to The Savage Lovecast, you should. It's a  podcast version of Dan's advice column, Savage Love.  There are 2 versions of it, the micro (free, 49 minutes with ads) and the magnum (paid, 82 minutes without ads). I will one Da subscribe, but for now I'm stuck with the micro version.  However, it's a great, insightful show.Anyway, recently Dan commented on the whole nude photo scandal including Jennifer Lawrence and a slew of other celebrities. I wholeheartedly agree with his opinion, and think he made some fabulous points.

1. It's horrible that they're privacy was invaded.
2. Fuck those people who say you shouldn't take naked pictures of yourself if you don't want them spread around. It's not like they were sharing them, their phones and such were hacked and their privacy invaded.
3. We have a  sick relationship with celebrities, it's a combo platter of lust and resentment, which is one of the reasons we punish pornstars (while the porn industry is one of the single biggest money-making industries in the United States might I remind you) and we sometimes delight in seeing celebrities fall and fail.Dan explores this point further and I advise you check it out.
4. Furthermore, it will be a great day when we all have "dirty" pictures online. The human body is beautiful; the naked form is beautiful and should be celebrated. It's not something that should be hidden, and shamed. It will be a great time when someone can play "gotcha" with this kind of shit.

Oh, I have a dick? And you saw it?

I sext, and you found out?

Why yes, I have recorded sexual encounters, and no it's not a big deal.

It's a pretty ridiculous, and a huge fuck you to those who shamed the victims of this incident rather than the hackers. I'm also sharing a video that a friend sent me. I thin it relates well to this topic of unhealthy sexual outlook that we harbor in our society.Grow the fuck up......and puritans eat my snatch.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB6TiRJNI-Q[/embed]
