Regulating the sexuality of soldiers has always been a tricky task, with issues of health, morale, and discipline (not to mention institutional or social morality) intersecting in complex and sometimes painful ways. Honestly, I’m not unsympathetic to the view that our marines ought to be able to take a shit without getting slimed with somebody else’s stale jizz. But this notice (which might be fake, given that Business Insider sources it as “an image making the rounds on FaceBook” which is not exactly confirmation of authenticity) appears to rely on false medical scare tactics. Supposedly “it’s a notice posted in a port-a-potty on Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province, Afghanistan”:
The BI reporter shared my skepticism about the claim that “there have been several reports…of illness caused by bodily fluids discharge in these facilities” so the reporter:
…reached out to the Navy Corpsman who was my medic when I was deployed to Helmand province in 2011. He called malarkey.
“Unless they’re getting semen in an open wound, there’s no way,” said Petty Officer 2nd Class Eric Dodson, a Corpsman with 2nd Marine Division in Camp Lejeune, N.C. “There’s no transdermal infection passable through semen, at least to my knowledge.”
Malarkey, indeed!

This lovely but bizarre piece is called In The Beginning, by artist Norman Lindsay. Funny thing is, it’s not quite the Garden of Eden scene I was taught in Sunday school:

The more I use my smartphone, the more comfortable I am doing stuff natively on the phone. But I still find that searching and navigation are harder and more complicated than on my desktop; thumb typing will never be as fast for me (with my old fat thumbs) as keyboarding, and it’s just harder and slower to enter searches, type URLS, and follow links. For this reason I still find (as I mentioned last April) that I treasure my little collection of tiny, mobile-optimized, old-fashioned link lists that I can bookmark or place as an icon on one of my phone’s home screens.

This article in Sabotage Times about the rise of a porn-producing industry in Africa is light on details, but it’s interesting nonetheless:
Of all the pornography Africans consume on a daily basis only a miniscule percentage of it comes from within Africa, the majority of that being hazy camera phone recordings of coitus recorded with or without the ‘stars’ consent. In terms of a professional porn industry in Africa it is entirely acceptable that given some of the archaic religious oppression, particularly enforced by post-colonial dictators that it would have simply been too dangerous for a budding Hugh Hefner to build an empire.
However that is changing. A burgeoning industry, albeit a small one, is emerging in which African pornstars are getting it on in front of African cameramen and being told to put what where by African producers.
In 2010 the first truly ‘African’ pornography sensation was released in Johannesburg — simply titled ‘Mapona vol: 1’. Its co-producer Tau Morena said the hour-long ‘project’ was the culmination of two years of organising, crowd sourcing and auditioning — all stemming from a frustration in online communities at the lack of a ‘local’ porn presence.
The venture was a complete success, to the point where it caught the producers by surprise. Within two weeks one could not find a legitimate copy of ‘Mapona’ in any of Jo’burg’s licensed XXX stores. That is not to say it couldn’t be found. And there in lies the problem for many potential investors, a quick trip to the stalls of your local township and you could purchase a bootlegged copy for a fraction of the legitimate price.
However, not even the loss from piracy can do much to assuage the feeling that the domestic porn industry is waiting to explode. The South African production houses may have less than 200 titles between them so far (generally less than the average U.S based porn actress has by her mid-20s) but the demand is growing from the consumers and also the willing participants.
