Kinky Porn and Rape: Beware The False Equivalence

This does not cause rape. It DOES cause pleasure! Image source: WhippedAss.com.
The flying monkeys brought in an article from a website called "The Business Standard," which is a staid Indian business paper. The article was in the "Entertainment" section, and consisted largely of quotes from Peter Acworth of Kink.com, saying that adult videos which depict adult fantasies about rape and kidnapping ... like the ones his company puts out ... are not responsible for real life rapes and kidnappings.

Well, duh. Of course they aren't. Fantasy is fantasy, reality is reality. There is a great gulf fixed between consensual make believe rapes and kidnappings and the real thing. Just like there is a great gulf fixed between consensual sex and non-consensual sex, i.e., rape. Sane people understand that.

But why in hell was Acworth saying all that stuff? He specifically mentioned the recent Cleveland kidnapping case and the Vaille wife-murder/cannibalism plot case.

The very LAST thing that any adult business, including Kink.com, should want is to be connected in the public mind with either Castro (the Cleveland kidnaper) or Vaille. And yet by making his statement denying any link between his consensual kink porn and Castro and Vaille's monstrous behavior, Acworth IS making that link. Granted, his statement is a denial of any link between his videos and the activities of the monsters, but that's not what people will take away.

You can see that clearly in the success of the Swiftboating campaign against John Kerry. It was a deliberate strategy, conceived of by Karl Rove, to counter the fact that Kerry had served in combat in Vietnam with real bullets whizzing around him while George W. Bush had enlisted in the National Guard, which in those days was a well known way of dodging the draft. Plus, there was some indication that Bush had gone AWOL during his service in the National Guard.

Rove used some conservative drunken reprobate swiftboat captains as sock puppets, claiming that Kerry had not sustained combat injuries severe enough to deserve the Purple Hearts he got while Bush was buzzing San Padre Island in a fighter jet and fucking every beach bunny he could while staying nice and drunk.

Even though it was thoroughly ridiculous claim, it worked, because as Rove had correctly perceived, the media were locked into using false equivalences as a substitute for actual journalism. Instead of pointing out that Kerry was indeed a combat veteran, or as they now call it, "war hero," and Bush was a wealthy draft dodger, with regard to Kerry the media said, "some people are saying that John Kerry's service record was dubious in some way, while others say he was a legitimate war hero" and with regard to Bush they said, "Some people say Bush served his country honorably in the National Guard, while others claim he was a draft dodger who went AWOL at times."

What you wound up with was two Presidential candidates with dubious war records. A false equivalence, created by the media's lazy habit of just citing both sides of an argument in the interests of seeming "objective" even though they are in fact promoting a lie as being equivalent to the truth.

Nothing has changed in the mainstream media. They still use false equivalences to signify objectivity. So an article about Acworth's claim will inevitably end with, "Acworth claims that his videos do not lead to real life crime, but Bluenoses Against Sexy Fun claim that pornographic depictions of rape encourage and promote crimes like those committed by Castro."

Now the fact is that almost every actual scientific study you can find, like this one, suggests that there is no link between the availability of kinky porn and rape. In fact, some studies show that the widespread availability of porn DECREASES the frequency of rape.

All the bluenoses really have is the religiously-derived conviction that porn is immoral and rape is immoral so they must both be stamped out, and using one to stamp out the other is just totally nifty. Acworth, on the other hand, has practically ALL the science on his side. Won't matter. The mainstream media left the truth train a long time ago.

Steampunk Bondage Porn!

Steampunk, often associated with bewhiskered gents clad in khakis and wearing large brass goggles, often sporting brass weaponry with what appears to be plumbing lines on it, which emits death rays of various sorts, is not the natural and easy stretch for porn that, say, Slave Leia cosplay is. And yet, with its penchant for heavy iron chains, brass ornamentation and obscure, menacing devices, it might just have a lot of potential for bondage porn. A word to the wise!

Synchronized Bondage Orgasms Makes Bid for Olympics

With wrestling on the block for removal from the Olympics, many sports were primed to leap in and fill the gap, and none was more ready than Synchronized Bondage Orgasms, the sex sport that dare not print its name in 36 point bold Goudy Old Style, but was otherwise OK about promoting itself in every way possible.

Here we have two members of the prospective US Synchronized Bondage Orgasm team practicing their art in the all-important Vibrator Bondage event. Timing is everything here, although points are also awarded for grace, style and imaginativeness of bondage. "It's the sport you can do at home while you watch at home with friends ... very, very close friends!" says team manager Rock Sharky, "it's more than just a spectator sport!"

Sadly, Olympic wrestling was saved by a coalition of important countries that did not mind the corruption and bad officiating that Olympic wrestling was legendary for. "Rigged wrestling matches will only help prepare these young athletes for professional matches," explained US Olympics Corruption Explainer Tad Bushmaster. "Its practically a tradition, too."

Hence, Olympian synchronized bondage orgasms must wait for another sport to drop out as an Olympic event. "We're hoping that people will eventually realize how dorky synchronized swimming really is," said Sharky. "There's always hope!"

"Hold still! That little sucker is slippery! I think I got a foot, though!" Image source: Ultimate Surrender.com.
As television producers keep looking farther and farther afield for their latest hit show has led us to a new frontier: naked lesbian wresting/midwifery. In each episode, a pregnant woman and her midwife wrestle naked, with the pregnant lesbian wrestler seeking to somehow alleviate the pain caused by childbirth and wrestling, and the wresting lesbia midwife seeking to extract the child safely.

"This series has all the drama you could possibly want, as the midwife struggles to bring the child to term," says series showrunner Lydia Pilkington-Danforth. "The agonized screams of a mother in a full nelson as she gives birth will have you on the edge of your seats. The hot lesbian action as the two naked women writhe in tandem will have you creaming your seats. And to top it all off, the wonderful, ethereal experience of childbirth, a new human being coming into the world before your very eyes!"

The series will air on Thursday nights at 10 pm on the Lifetime Network, always a leader in health and medical programming.

Emilia Clarke Naked Tied and Fucked: or ... Celebrity Cloned?

An illustration offering a potential explanation for Daenerys Targeryn's sympathy for slaves or ... some invidious blogger using the resemblance between actress Emilia Clarke and her porn clone Natasha Lyn to SUGGEST such an explanation? YOU be the judge! Image source: Sex and Submission.com and promo shot for Game of Thrones television series.
Well apparently the mad scientists are at it again. Emilia Clarke, the actress who plays Daenerys Targeryn on Game of Thrones, HBO's incredibly successful adaptation of George R. R. Martin's "Song of Fire and Ice" fantasy series, has apparently got herself a pornoclone, Natasha Lyn, an adult model who has done some scenes for Kink.com.

Like most clones, she is not a perfect copy of Emilia Clarke, small imperfections and changes which highlight the imperfections of the genetic reproduction process compared to, say, digital reproductions. But of course, human beings are very complex creatures, their surface appearance is hardly all there is to them. So when I tell you that Clarke and Lyn's islets of Langerhans and uvulas are virtually identical, cell for cell, I know you will be impressed!

And DO watch Game of Thrones if you are a fan of things Gorean, cause it's about the most Gorean TV series ever made. Puts the actual Gor movies into perspective! Interestingly, in the book, Daenerys is cast as a liberator of slaves, because she hates slavery. Some have speculated that she hates slavery because her brother forced her into marriage with a wild horseman type, giving her sympathy with what slaves go through.


Emilia Clarke may have developed some understanding of her celebrity clone's feelings, however. Image source: vidcap from Game of Thrones.
I personally didn't buy that theory, because what happened to Daenerys is what happens to many noblewomen in the Game of Thrones world, following the medieval custom, they are married off as best suits the political ambitions of their families (as are princes, on occasion). Granted, Daenerys' personal interests are no more of catered to than those of a whore in one of Kings' Landings' brothels insofar as who she winds up fucking, but I don't see her making the imaginative leap between that and slavery. Most noblewomen would have every reason NOT to make any such leap, as not doing so enabled them to retain their self-image as rich and powerful noblewomen rather than lowly slaves.

Plight of the Middle Class Conservative Voter

"Go ahead, Tea Party bitch, squirm and scream right into the Citizens United brand gag ... you know you love it!" Image source: Sex and Submission.
Middle class voters who vote for Republicans are a puzzle to me. While the Democrats are bought out by Wall Street, the Republicans pretty much ARE Wall Street, and if there is anything that has become very evident over the last few years, it's that Wall Street is putting the hurt on the middle class, big time.

Wall Street profits are up, they're keeping oceans of cash overseas (and out of the economy) for tax reasons (i.e., they don't want to pay their share) the one percent owns 65 percent of American's wealth and the economic recovery from the 2007 crash is generally described as "jobless." The numbers are so hugely obvious that voting Republican is essentially stealing from yourself and your children, as the only technique the Republicans can come up with for raising revenues is gutting Social Security and Medicaid, the two most effective programs for alleviating poverty we have.

But the wealthy conservatives dangle the specter of gays marrying and women having abortions in front of middle class conservatives, and damned if they don't vote their kids right off the island in every election!

I found the image above to be a powerful graphic representation of the plight of middle class conservatives, artfully detailing their situation. I'm sure it'll be on all the cable news networks soon!

Happy Mother's Day To All the Slave Girls!

"Ok, I'm naked and tied to a cross with mousetraps on my nipples, a double-dildo Sybian working at me, and being whipped at the same time, but hey, beats doing the dishes!" Image source: Hogtied.com.
Being sophisticated and all, I know that many, many of the women who enjoy playing slave girls are in real life, mothers. Just like a lot of us ferocious doms who spank 'em and tie 'em up and fuck them senseless are dads. So I will take this opportunity to express my love and respect for women and especially all the mothers out there, because god knows the lot of you deserve it, and more. Happy Mothers' Day!
