Mid-2011 survey: Are you afraid of Pornography?
Pick only one answer from the following questions.
1. Pornography ____________.
a. Demeans women.
b. Demeans the rest of us men.
2. The Puritan’s attitude toward sex was _________________.
a. About right.
b. Too kinky, they wore funny hats to bed.
3. About watching pornography, men always lie.
a. True
b. False, sometimes they sit, practice Yoga, etc.
4. When I was a kid, we often talked about sex at the dinning room table,
a. NEVER!
b. Not sure. I was always “excused” when I asked.
5. As men grow older, their sexual habits become fouler.
a. Yes!
b. No. No poultry of any kind for me.
6. Pornography has no redeeming social merit.
a. True
b. Good
7. After getting married, men should waste no time in watching pornography.
a. True
b. True
9. America is being inundated with pornography because _____________.
a. lax standards and corrupt government officials.
b. Global warming?
10. There seems to be evidence that pornography is an Indian plot to take over the American film industry. The Karma Sutra, after all, was a first attempt at pornography, and now a congressional panel claims that some of the dialog in porn films translated into Hindi is ominous in meaning. For instance, “Oh baby, baby. Do it, do it,” clearly means “Soon, your films will have no plots, either,” in the Hindu tongue.
If this proves to be the case, what would you do?
a. Sever all ties with the subcontinent.
b. Get Mapquest directions to Ball-e-wood.
Conclusion:
Like the fat woman who said, “The food there was awful and the portions so small,” pornography seems to occupy an ironic place in our society. If we mention it at all it is only to condemn it or as the subject of a double entendre by the late night comics (or, of course, survey takers). This, I guess, makes us feel grown-ups, but in fact, I think, makes us more puerile. At a time when America is seriously considering decriminalizing the use of recreational drugs, I wonder why we remain still edgy about the subject of pornography. Our attitude is a measure of something, I’m just not sure what.
Feel free to comment.
