Stop! Do You Read Washington Rebel?! Because Acquanetta Does!
Aroused by the Feral Ape Man --
The word erotica typically applies to works in which the sexual element is regarded as part of the larger aesthetic aspect. It is usually distinguished from pornography, which can also have literary merit but which is usually understood to have sexual arousal as its main purpose.
Erotica should be what arouses sensuality and sexual desire in the imagination. Pornography is a cheap substitute to genuine sensuality by replacing it with naked thrusts and bursts of faux gasps of passion. How trite compared to visions created in our minds stimulated by a simple touch, look or gesture. Last night I watched the TCM channel which ran a surprising example of true erotica-Tarzan-the Ape Man. Alicia Colon: Appreciating True Erotica in Cinema
Thanks, Alicia. As readers of Washington Rebel know, we don't go in for that Ho' Dog Rip Rap Shit. The two things that keep a society strong and gentle are: (1) the Ten Commandments and (2) The Golden Rule. Even objectivists understand this, though you don't dare mention God, or you'll make them cry.
Conservatives get a bad rap for suppressing sex, as if a bumper sticker on your Volvo that reads Question Gender was somehow enlightened and expressive of something worthwhile. What crap. Y'all know what we think about that kind.
There is, also, a common thread here: Rock-n-Roll . . . . Ho' Dawg Rip Rap. Bill Cosby connects the dots.
No, I don't mean race. I mean loss of self respect. Get it?
Modern Cinema Hasn't a Clue About Eroticism
As a teen and a young woman, I’d buy all the movie mags with their color pictures of beautiful people who could honestly be called STARS. Now I find it difficult to name one female star today who doesn’t dress or act like a skank. Sorry. I realize it’s a sign of the times but that doesn’t mean I can’t prefer a time when class was what determined stardom. Alicia Colon
We appreciate what you're saying, Alicia. Over here at the Rebel, we hope to start a Cultural Revolution.
The Conservative kind!
