On Pornography and cuckoos

Pornography, articles relating to it, movies or documentaries underlining its benefits as well as dangers associated with it, all of that stuff has some sort of curiosity build into it and that is a secondary reason on why it is an industry that thrives. The current streams over the internet and the virtual reality elements that seem to harness quite a bit of news is a new way but these wi-fi speeds and the sheer on your face sorta thing that seems to be all over could possibly be the beginning of the slide of an industry grows exponentially year by year. The primary reason being curiosity being satiated quite early and quite fast. The beauty of all things taboo or for that matter anything at all is the reach as well as the difficulty of achieving it. This thing is just too easy and the fun of it all is down the drain.

I remember my days when the first time, someone bought a few pages from 'The Hustler' and 'Playboy' to school. It was consternation the first time around, and then all the boys circled around a lot of oohs and aahs going on with the lady in the picture doing something absolutely incorrigible. First time around everything looks just too good. I remember that photograph and the lady to this date and I don't think I will ever forget. She was a willful companion on many a nights then. But the way this kid who bought it to school became a hero of epic proportions on that day was amazing. I wanted to get my own, but never could.

I remember the day when we found our first porn video cassettes from the local video store. It was so difficult to ask the guy in the first place, once done, it was all about when are we gonna watch it. It took us two days to figure a place we can. And when we did, misery, the damn visuals had grains all over. The worst part was when the female of the species who had been strutting and gaining our attention, wants to remove that small t-shirt of hers and show what we were waiting to see, the screen would go all awry, blinking and static and I dunno what all. Damn! damn! damn!

The beginning of attraction is opaque. The unseen is the most attractive. Then it floats over to translucent. That is the best stage. The adrenaline is going haywire and the uncontrollable urge takes over. Transparent is good just immediately after translucent but not at all times...the current issue is that. It begins with transparent and then there is only transparent. There is no curiosity being built.

Funnily, nowadays, the curiosity is for the tool that showcases this thing. First the laptop, oooh! a tool that's personal and does not involve watching with other people, but contrived to a room in the house or wherever. Then when it moved on to the phones, wallah! brilliant, too personal hold it in the hand and watch stuff. Now they are moving it closer to the eye, Virtual Reality. It is not the porn which attracting attention, it is the gadgets that are attracting attention. As soon as those VR glasses come around, the first thing to do is pop it in and watch Khalifa's or Amber's or whatever is available, they are all the same. That is it, end of story. After that it is purely awaiting the release of the worthy documentaries, the visit to the moon, Pyramids, Amazon etc.

Easy accessibility  is dangerous for all businesses and brands... 

On another level, a little story from a few days back. 

The amount of energy wasted on considering and dreaming of materials consisting of pornographic elegance is shocking. I read some statistics regarding the same in a local newspaper and it’s appalling. But another way of looking at it is that the photographs and the headlines for this particular newspaper article was quite evidently chosen with thought to attract attention and it was too much tilted towards the same genre it was talking about. May be journalism demands that or may be the sales department demands that. 

Whatever, the next day it seems they found that the sales for that edition were pretty high. It was a Monday, and it seems Monday blues hit newspaper circulations. So exactly on a Monday they came up with article - sales tactic. 

Whatever was written and the pictures attached all of it made interesting reading and a good raise in knowledge about some websites one can go to. Instead of the real intention which is to say that pornography is a bane of the society. My girl-friends read it and they came up with genuine queries about having visited a few of them and on how the others mentioned in the article stand. Well, needless to say as usual I gave them a download of information on all the porn websites that we all know of or visited of course, the information had to be female oriented and so it was. That gave way for a good conversation. It really does almost all the time I’ve ever broached the subject whether it’s with friends or quaint acquaintances and it has always turned out to be long, knowledgeable and boisterous conversations. 

In a different sense and manner, morally so to say, it is a very pathetic way of looking at women. But guess what, this is what men are all about most of them. They strut their stuff, blow their horn about imaginary sexual escapades, wade thru' life in the same demeanor forever and brag about it as old bastards sitting on creaky old park benches and laughing one's heart out and going back home and trying to figure what the hell all that brouhaha was about. 

Lastly, I knew a guy once who used to have ejaculatory benefits out of all these newspaper articles that come out once in a while. In almost any developed country his people would have taken him to a shrink, but in India it turned out the guy's big brothers, mom and daddy dearest were all hunky dory about it and not only that, they thought that their little brother was endowed with a fantastic libido. 

Libido my ass, the guy is cuckoo; that’s what I'd say another rape specimen being slowly trained into the drain of dirt....
