Objectively Speaking

A common argument against pornography is that it objectifies women. What a joke. If anybody is being objectified it’s the man.

Look at the average porno and you’ll always see the woman’s face. But the guy is only shown from the waist down. He’s just a cock and balls, an anonymous torso with moving parts. Now you tell me who’s the one being portrayed as an object?

I’ve been on plenty of sets were guys are treated like pieces of meat by both cast and crew while the women are placed on a pedestal.

On more than one occasion a certain director threatened to replace me.

“A cock an torso are easy to replace,” the director retorted, “A beautiful face, hour glass body, tits and ass are not.”

But I don’t mind, objectification isn’t a big deal to me anyway. Look around, we objectify almost everyone we meet.

I go to Carl’s Jr. and objectify the person at the register. He’s not a human being with emotions. He’s the object that gets me food.

I go to a basketball game and the players are objects that entertain me. I don’t care what they are feeling or whether they are in the mood to perform. I want to be entertained and then I want them to go away. And what’s so wrong with that?

There are to many people in this world. We just don’t have the time to get to know them all. We don’t have a choice but to perceive most of them as objects.

I’m not saying we should treat them like objects. Human beings aren’t our personal playthings. But as far as I’m concerned, they’re background players. I don’t need to know their life story. I see them, I interact with them, and then they’re gone.

The real problem isn’t objectification at all. It’s sexual objectification. People who dislike porn are afraid of sex and always have been.

You can argue all you want about how our country was founded on the freedom of personal expression. But in the end we’ve never been comfortable with too much freedom when it comes to sex.

We like to think we invented pornography but the ancient Greeks and Romans were doing it long before we came along.

If we borough anything new to erotica, it’s censorship and sexual neurosis. We have conservative politicians and religious leaders to thank for that. As a nation we have a clinical case of eurotophibia; a fear of female genitalia.

Look at our media, our politics, our religion; Americans are absolutely terrified of pussy.

We’d have every vagina sewed closed at birth if we could.

And that’s why people really hate pornography. Too many cunts.
