Next Stop – The Porn Zone

Have we turned a corner? Has Vice-President Dick Cheney uttered some prescient words that only those in the pornographic know have realized for some time now? Has porn reached critical mass?! I say, dear sir, we have. And how did I reach this monumental conclusion? How did I, a mere dot on the intellectual landscape, arrive at this epiphanous juncture? Well, watching Sunday’s Desperate Housewives sure as hell didn’t hurt. I guess their writers have been stretched thin by popularity since new episodes have been about as common as Malaria. So in this past episode we were treated to a mélange of their “greatest” moments from seasons’ past. But one very telling moment involved Bree about to get eaten out by Dr. Orson Hodge. And while this all may not seem very shocking now – probably even less so with a major star attached to it – cunnilingus has reached a level of acceptability on mainstream television. (Not to mention a degree of respectability, too. After all, what is Bree but the quintessential middle-class housewife?) But between primetime clitoral stimulation and rock star sex tapes and Italian guys with hard-ons wanking off in showers before national audiences, culture has opened up its eyes and its prurient curiosities to discover that pornography has passed the through the gate. The question now is – where is it headed?
