out of the mouths of porn stars…

Avedon Carol reminds me that porn star Marilyn Chambers — who died this week at 56 — is the one who boiled the idiocy of the hypocrisy of American pop culture down to this: You can stab a breast in an American film, but you can’t kiss one.

At least, not if you want a PG rating.

I’ve always liked that description of the weird dichotomy that afflicts us, the one that says that horrific violence is less objectionable than of consensual sex. It makes you wonder what people are so afraid of, and why…

share and enjoy
