Rules and Regs for Everyone!
Well, the new 2257 thing just went into effect on the 23rd.... it sure does make me glad that my pics are... well... LOL! My own pics and thus I have record of my own age (drivers license, birth certificate, etc) for anyone who might happen to bug me about it. But this kinda stuff irks me to no end. The repercussions it has on the adult industry are bonkers. And the truth is that I don't comply exactly with the 2257 stuff because they'd require me (being the own custodian of my own photos) to post my real name and address on the internet. Um... yeah that would really be safe for me, that would protect me from... what, exactly? *blink!*
What really irritates me about all this though, is not the idea of protecting children. I think politically, morally, whatever-ly, we can all be unanimous about the idea of protecting children in general. It's the specifics that get hairy.
The truth is that beating up on reputable producers of porn is not going to make children any safer. The pedophiles that target children are NOT making any effort to ensure their subjects are over 18... actually that defeats the entire purpose of what they do. Not to mention that the vast majority of pedophilia sites (AGGGGGGGGH ICK BLECH PTOOIE!) are published overseas, NOT on American soil. There is not yet any real practical way to ensure that no one anywhere publishes an illegal site... the Internet is unique in it's global scope and that has good and bad manifestations. Personally I'd prefer to go ahead and live with the possibility of bad people... because they are not going to go away just because we shake our finger at them and say "naughty naughty, don't DO that!" It would take a lot more.
The porn industry has changed so much. There are still utter slimeballs involved... no doubt! Like the guy who begged me to do a gangbang movie for him in Vegas. I told him he absolutely could not afford to pay me what it would cost for me to do a gangbang movie. He told me he'd give me a THOUSAND DOLLARS! While I laughed in his face, my slut sister asked him, "Well, does it matter if she LIKES it?" The guy earnestly told us that no, it did not matter if I enjoyed the gangbang. He understood if I didn't, and would help me get through it. Now *that* is a SLIMEBALL!
But... *sigh* I think so many of the trends are POSITIVE! The proliferance of real amateur sites, of women who are sexually empowered and enjoy being exhibitionists in control of their own destiny is so amazing! There are tons and tons and tons of smart, sexy, horny chicks online these days. I like to think men are going to start demanding more of that in porn, but thus far... nope. LOL! Tho I think that is changing... SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWLY... too.
Anyways thus ends my rant about 2257. And I have proof of my ages in all my photos for anyone who ever comes knocking. Ick! Hey if you want to read more about 2257, check out this article on AVN Insider.
Slut...
I frequently refer to myself as a slut... it's pretty much how I identify sexually. Like some might identify as gay, or mongamous, or whatever you choose... I prefer *slut.* This freaks people out all the time. I wonder if that's partially why I like it? I definitely enjoy shaking things up and making people rethink their thinks, so to speak. But I must say it's especially amusing when in the midst of sucking a strange cock and I refer to myself as a horny slut, to hear the recipient of said cocksucking say... "Oh, honey, no, you're not a slut!" Hmmmm, wtf??? LOL Who exactly has a problem with this concept... ME? or YOU?
I guess most men would prefer to think that I'm a sweet, innocent lil' thing who just happened to succumb to their manly charms. Romantic, maybe, but not exactly the truth. The truth is more like... I love having sex with strangers. I find sex to be a way to connect to the deepest part of someone. I find it incredibly erotic to make people lose control and expose themselves to me, and to be exposed to them. It's not *all* only about the allover tingles I get when I make a strange cock throb for wanting me so bad... but yes, it is *also* about that.
There are a lot of things at work here... one is the standard connotation of slut. The definition is as follows:
Main Entry: slut 
Pronunciation: 'sl&t
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English slutte
1 chiefly British : a slovenly woman
2 a : a promiscuous woman; especially : PROSTITUTE b : a saucy girl : MINX
Well, slovenly I'm not. Promiscuous, definitely. Saucy? Absofrickinlutely. A minx? I love it! What most people mean when they say the word slut is a woman with no self esteem who has sex because she can't find any other form of appreciation or approval in her life. Hmmmm, that is so completely not what *I* mean when I say slut. I do mean promiscuous. I do mean saucy. But I also mean... "empowered female who enjoys revelling in her sexuality and sharing it with others. " When you think of it that way it's hard not to refer to me as a slut, don't you think?
And I do looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove being a slut!!!!!
The other thing going on here is the irrelevance with which society views sexuality. Let's face it... in spite of the fact that sex permeates practically our every waking moment in this world, "society" tells us that sex is not important. IE: sex does not make a good relationship. Sexuality should take a second place to everything else in the world. (Or, more realistically, LAST place in the world.) Sexual abstinence is viewed with approval as a moral achievement. Hmmm, I wonder why starving yourself to death isn't viewed with the same approval? Because it's the same concept... denying yourself one of your body and souls basic needs.
The human body is designed to feel sexual pleasure every bit as much as it is designed to take nutrients from food or take oxygen for air. You can't really argue with it... there is *no* other reason for a clitoris to exist. We'd still make babies... the instinct to make babies is equally as important and I don't think would make a difference to most of us if sex were a boring task to be gotten through. (I shudder to think that this is actually a reality for so many, many people!)
Think how different the world would be if everyone had at least two orgasms every single day. Whether alone, with someone else, whatever. *sigh* Idealistic of me, I know, but I can't help yearning for it.
Well, anyways... that's why I love the word *slut* to describe myself. Hey, if the lesbians can take back *cunt*, why can't I take back slut? (Oh, and I have a very pretty, tasty cunt, too!)
*smooch*

Sex News...
This is pretty nifty... Mary Carey, porn star and aspiring political princess, recently attended a Republican fundraiser. Now I may not like pretty much anything Republican, but good for her... and not only that, but she plans to run for governor. Plussssssss, legal gay marriage is one of her priorities. Go Mary!!!!
Meanwhile, in other sex news, Larry Flynt has dug up some fun dirty tidbits about John Bolton, including the fact that he has reportedly attended Plato's Retreat (famous NYC swing club) numerous times and may have forced his wife into having group sex. Hehe, gotta love those oh so repressed conservatives. ;)
In Nevada, a former stripper has been elected to be a judge. How kewl is that? Of course it's Nevada, but still!
In a true blitz of irony, girly man Michael Graham of WMAL AM 630 (in DC) was on this morning ranting and railing against girly men and how "gay" it is to get a manicure. The topic was male grooming, and whether or not REAL MEN do it. The obvious conclusion from his rants was this: Michael Graham is having no sex whatsoever. Because if his "Warden," as he refers to his wife, was spending any amount of time down below whatsoever, she'd surely tell him to shape up or ship out. No one likes to floss during foreplay! What a nitwit. I like my men rough, strong, muscular, and you can have hair everywhere else, but those family jewels should be nice and neat. That is, if you want me to pleasure you that way. If not, I could care less, be hairy and go do what thou wilt! But Michael? In terms of the whole gay issue... Thou dost protesteth way way WAAAAYYY too much. And I've seen you on TV... you're the furthest thing from a "Manly Man" that I can even picture. Make a muscle, lemme see it! :) Keep trying... keep trying... LOL!!!! (This image is too funny for me to handle!)
Speaking of shaving for men, here's my tips for you. You don't need to be totally bald down there if you don't want to be... but very trim is a requirement. But whatever you do, don't shave bald the area above your cock. Don't do it! In a nutshell (hehe, pun fully intended) the reason is that the area above your cock is host to a womans most delicate parts. During sex, that's exactly what is grinding against a womans clit... you don't want stubble there... NONE... not even if you can't feel it. I promise you, a clit is more sensitive than your hand by about a thousand times. Sex with sandpaper is no fun!
*smooch*
