My Porn Equivalents
Image via Wikipedia
I must admit, porn isn’t a subject that comes up in my world, and yes i do have my own views on the industry and what it portrays. I’m on the fence, and can’t say its wrong as it helps some folks who normally couldn’t meet or have a solid sexual relationship. It’s a money makin’ business with multi billion growth each year. One of my aunt’s best friends is a famed MILF star and she’s as normal as they come. There are huge cons too, like how young people assume that sex must be loud, nasty and sweaty rather than a gentle love making moment. I’m reading How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran and I have to agree with her on how porn has shaped society. No lady can walk around with a jungle in her knickers, you gotta have a well shaped and pruned minge in a thong. - anyway I’m going off on one… this is not what this post is supposed to be about….
Let’s start again, I don’t watch much porn, and if i do it’s purely research to write about o.O but I do watch TV shows that litterally take my breath away. I don’t mean in a sexual manner… ew…. I’m celibate remember! There are shows that make me want to be part of the story, or shows I would hate to end. do you ever get that feeling with a great show? What are your favourite shows that you’d substitute with porn in an average week?
Here are my porn equivalents!
- The Big Bang Theory
- True Blood
- Sirens
- Sex and the City
- Charmed
- Nip/Tuck
- 90210
- Smallville
- Star Trek
- NY or Miami Ink
- Anything Louis Theroux – he is just amazing and I love his journalistic style, he holds no boundaries!
Glued: How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
Oh
My
Goddess!
It’s about flipping time!
Caitlin Moran
This book is AMAZING! I would order that any woman on the planet should get this book and read it. I guarantee, you’ll not only look back on your lives and reminisce how hard and awkward it was to be a frilly pink princess and wake up with boobs and missing the vote because of blood stained sheets. This book is fantastic on so many levels. I’ve only just bought it, and I’ve been glued to it so much I’m already half way through! How many days is that now…? 2 days… gosh. I’m a slow reader, so that’s pretty impressive.
This book tackles the ‘touchy’ subject of pornography as a tool for teaching young kids about appearance, sex, attitudes toward words concerning the ‘lady flower’, Jilly Cooper and life as a blooming young lady from the 80s until now. It’s THE summer anicdote to female understanding on a light political manner, with feminist fists and life in one go. It’s perfect!
I must say, only having read part of it, I’ve found it incrediably difficult to look like I’m not having a fit of laughter or a satirical meltdown in the back of a bus. That last time I read a book as funny, neat and true as this was Stephen Fry‘s Moab is my Washpot. AMAZING! I’ve only recently started looking into feminism and what it would mean to me, especially since I feel the ‘little-activist’ in me is finally learning how to walk, alongside PETA, The Red Cross, Pagan pride and modern women with tattoo ART.
Part memior and part feminist, and teenage (what to expect now that you are growing up, since your parents won’t tell you) manual, this book is a must have. I would have kept it in time for the next Paris excursion, but my little fingers have a mind of their own and I couldn’t wait! I would give you a better review, but I’m on chapter 9 – I Go Lap-dancing! For now, read the reviews and watch the video. Once I’ve read it, I’ll make a review video for TheHarlequinDays – make sure to comment =]
