It's ripe with dramatic possibility - tensions between the growing underground chastity movement and the conservative pro-sex elders, government attempting to regulate the growth in 'chastity literature', magazines and internet sites featuring pictures of people wearing nice clothes, formalised orgies in Federal Parliament...TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-13309769814851991922010-07-02T17:39:53.761+10:002010-07-02T17:39:53.761+10:00I suspect that government pornography would be far...I suspect that government pornography would be far, far worse than this. <br /><br />ABC porn would start out as merely multiracial and multisexual, but then the professional ratbag class would start banging on about ageism and fatism and the eco-unfriendliness of waxing. They'd demand REAL porn showing REAL people. Before you know it, fat old men with hairy buttocks would be shagging fat old women with hairy breasts... and they'd be setting aside time in class for school kids to watch it, and then do the comprehension worksheet.<br /><br />As an entire generation gets turned off sex and remains adamantly celibate, the government would assume that there was some sort of puritanical underground movement forcing young people to curtail their natural drives, and the government porn would become ever more strident, ever more inclusive, and ever more ubiquitous. There would be hideous government porn on TV, radio, bus shelters and newspapers, earnestly jostling for space with the anti-smoking and anti-drinking ads.<br /><br />"IT'S NATURAL!" bellows an angry bull dyke on the side of a bus as she goes down on her skinny, hairy-legged girlfriend. "DON'T BE ASHAMED TO DO THIS!" <br /><br />Meanwhile the youth, filled with revulsion at any sexual thought that pops into their heads, have turned their attention to wholesome nature walks, barn dancing and ice cream socials.<br /><br />Hee hee! It'd make a great novel. I'd write it myself if I were a better satirist.Blandwagonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500489676224676731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-69368391596037491102010-07-01T18:57:42.442+10:002010-07-01T18:57:42.442+10:00you are so going to get pron trolls here

Maybe someday I'll write it - I'll leave off the speculations about who funds the Two Minute Masturbation, and who produces it, until then. <br /><br />Thanks for the idea. As you can see I disagree with you but it's good of you to so vigorously defend yourself over on Andrew Norton's blog. I've been enjoying the discussion.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-4766886330050208422010-07-01T11:57:08.048+10:002010-07-01T11:57:08.048+10:00I'm still surprised by how many people confuse...I'm still surprised by how many people confuse government funding for government production. <br /><br />Otherwise, brilliant stuff.
