I don’t typically blog about politics. Sexual politics, sure, but my own political views, no. I’ve thought about this a lot, especially when political things irk or awe me. But to me, politics are more personal than sex. This makes me wonder about myself, about how working in the sex ed biz for seven + years has changed my perceptions of the world around me. Has it turned me inside out, with my insides on the out, and the outside in?
No, sex and politics have a lot in common and they are inextricably intertwined. Most political things that happen in the US, I relate to lack of sex education at the root, and lack of exposure/understanding to others’ sexual differences. And to me, politics is a big, wet sticky fuckfest, an obscene orgy of corpulence and greed, a big suck-and-poke of chain smoking plastic-surgery-disaster hookers and toothy old men hopped up on donuts, Viagra and bile, with their dicks in their hands and sweat dripping off their swimming layers of melted wax skin. It’s vulgar and shocking. I can’t help but watch, closely.
Hunter S. Thompson said, "Four more years of Bush is like four more years of syphilis."
Tonight I was re-reviewing Victims No Longer: The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse, and tucked inside a review for Intimate Invasions fell out, reading "A how-to guide for administering enemas for erotic pleasure." I think that pretty much sums it up.
This is what Xeni said. I read that the people who voted for Bush aren’t very smart. I also read that the voting machines are fucked up. But we really just do it for the kids, now, don’t we? (Thanks, Lippy!) My favorite headline was "Bush Does Victory Lap Around the World Trade Center." Kerry was against gay marriage, too.
So the erection is on my mind, but I have to get back to work. I have a book to finish by this weekend. I also have an interview with the mastermind behind the PornOrchestra on Saturday night, before their performance. She’s interviewing me, for the agreed-upon bribe of a large glass of vodka. I guess I better bring some juice.
While I write, entertain yourself with a few links to sex toys I want to try — my dream wish list, if you will: The Aneros, The Liberator, The Joy Rider, Feather Plug, Lickety Split.
