Open your mouth, and say arrrhhhhh.......
This am, while reading Straits Times Life session, a column discussed the documentay drama that will now be having a sneak tdy, and have a showdown with Star Wars Ep 3 next week: Inside Deep Throat.
What's that?
Inside Deep Throat is a documentary that goes deep into the 1972 movie, Deep Throat, which stirs up a storm in US.
What is Deep Throat?
This is a movie. Of cos lah, i talk about movies in my blog. But this is no ordinary theme movie. This is a porn movie, or what the elderly's called, dirty movie.
The low budget movie, which was made in 1972, costs only $25,000 to make. But the movie is such a great money spinner, that it spins $600 million overall. If you have seen the poster on the papers, it states: The government do not want you to see it. It was banned in 23 states, it spins $600million bucks n it was the most profitable film in motion picture history.
Been the most provocative film in the movie history, the X-rated porn which stars the late porn actress Linda Lovelace has not only become a money spinner, but it also leads to much debate among the conservatives and the liberals in US. The conservatives says (if you watched the trailer in the opening) : we are letting this immoral people having their ways in our country. The conservatives protested: down with obscenity. They boycott theatres that screens Deep Throat, they tear down the posters, the remove the signboards, they protest. Protest, protest and more protest. The liberals rebutted: everyone has their right to see what they want, wthout having the government interferring what they want to see. An old lady who watches Deep Throat says: 'I Like It. I want to see a dirty picture and that's hat i saw. I do not want someone to come and tell me that you can't see a dirty picture.'
What the heck is Deep Throat about? It's all about having explicit sex, with woman enjoying sex so much, that it proves to the world that woman can enjoy sex equally as much as the man does. The movie comes with explicit sex scene, such as blowjobs n unlimited nudity. Unsurprisingly, the conservatives pressurize the government to ban Deep Throat, and the liberals are fighting for their rights to allow anyone who wants to watch Deep Throat at their wish to do so.
Inside Deep Throat goes behind the low budget porn that not only mades box office counters hears so much ka-chings several times, but also why 1) people want to watch porn but cannot watch porn, 2) why the conservatives wants to ban it, and 3rdly, to S'pore only, the censors wants to cut off part of the scenes in the documentary. So, you can forget about watching the juicy bits of Deep Throat over here.
And that brought me to another issues: porn is no longer exclusive to the guys only. Girls starts to enjoy porn.
While surfing Yahoo! Msg boards just now, there are girls who claims that they enjoy watching porn, and likes to start a kinky orgy session while watching porn. It's not surprising to hear such things such as girls likes to enjoy porn. Ever after the invasion of internet into every household, everyone can get online easily, and that includes porn. So long as you do not have a filtering system in your com, the world is at your hands. And for some teenagers, they seek sex online. More and more teens begin to look for sexual encounters online, and once clicked on, they meet up and you know what is it all about.
Mabey to some who finds it difficult to seek online sex partner or not wanting to have sex, they turn porn as a substitute. Does porn acts as a substitute for sex? In my view, porn can be a substitute for sex, but also porn cannot act as a substitute for sex. One gets sexually active, and they could not find a sex partner online, neither they would go for prostitution. So, they use porn as a substitute to satisfy themselves. But look on the other side, especially married couples. Sex is one of the elements to keep a marriage alive. Without sex, a marriage can hardly survive. I am saying this is because based on Maslow's hierachy of needs, food+clothings+shelter+sex makes up the basic human needs. Before one can go to the next level, which is safe and secure environment, the needs of 1st level needs to be satisfy. How can one feels safe, in terms of marriage, if none of the needs in the 1st level to be fufilled?
Now back to the issue. Girls enjoying watching porn. They watch it out of curiosity? For pleasure? For excitement? Beats me, cos i am a guy, not a gal.
