I've got to tell you that I have continued to be amazed at the amount of traffic coming to this blog in search of graphic photos of a portion of the female anatomy! I realize I seem to be belaboring the point -- we must remember that I tend to obsess on things -- but I'm just dumbstruck at the way the internet indexing system seems to work and the number of bored and horny fellows out there.
Eyeballing my tracking software, I've seen that these folks come looking at all hours of the day and night. And some of the IP addresses from whence people hail from should give any of us a reason to pause. Several have been from public schools. This could, of course, mean curious teenagers OR it could mean teachers and/or administrators with time (or something else) on their hands!
Many of the originating IP addresses have come from government entities. Since we're in the throes of a deep recession and needed programs are being cut left and right, I'd feel much better if I thought public servants were working on solving the budget dilemma and not cruising the internet searching for porn.
Several other visitors come from military bases and just as many others appear to originate from fortune 500 companies.
Look, I'm no prude and I'm certainly no saint. As a male, I see nothing wrong with enjoying things -- people included -- that are beautiful to the eyes. That said, pornography really isn't about anything artistic; it's about treating women (or men) and their body parts as sterile objects. It's about highlighting certain portions of people's bodies and not seeing the person as whole sentient being.
In this same vein, there is nothing evil about sexuality. It's part of who we are. It becomes problematic, however, when we remove the human-to-human connection from it.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now and try to quit obsessing on other people's obsessions. ; )
No more cute headings of this genre. Let's get back to discussing philosophical Taoism!!

porn could be a form of art, but it ends up just being lame and fake (in my opinion.) i do like nude photographs though because they sometimes seek to portray emotion or beauty, not the fake airbrushed variety.
ReplyDeletehowever this new title is not going to improve matters lol.
Weininger wrote an interesting book about this.
ReplyDeleteIktomi,
