George Carlin On Strip Nation
From an interview in Playboy, kindly typed in by Hump Jones, this observation by the guru George Carlin:
It’s actually a weird time for sex. Sex is all over the place in this culture. It’s wide open. Compared with the 1960’s, when it was merely an aspect of youth culture — free love and all that –it’s a virtual sexual carnival right now. You’ve got the internet, strip clubs, porn stars on the radio. Even regular television is all cleavage and legs and asses and hot policewomen on CSI. You got into any hotel and you can buy movies in which the mailman shows up with a big hard-on and suddenly he’s fucking three women at a tupperware party — and it all goes straight to your hotel bill.

If sex is all over the place it is because sex is what life is about and life is what sex is about (Intelligent Desire). It is rampant in da USA because there is more liberalism, or liberality, built into the American way of life. Sex is being left to its own devices on the one hand, and pressed into the service of the business-as-usual system of consumerism on the other: i.e. there are piles and piles of money in play. So much for “free” sex. Sex also runs on a self-winding drive and, like all sensory stimuli, tends toward saturation, such that the more you get, the more you need… even if you have to help yourself. And finally, like a mantra, the mere mention of SEX is the first step into the Dance.
Apparently, I need to attend more Tupperware parties.
