Sex On TV _ ShowBiz Tonight 10/15
To: 
In general, I think allot of Americans are almost uptight as Muslims when it comes to sex and sexiness. France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Greenland, Iceland seem way more realistic, healthy and artistically entertaining when it comes to sex, sex appeal and sex within art, the media and overall culture.
 
Last night while watching Brooke Anderson on ShowBiz Tonight, I saw this interesting piece regarding "Sex On TV" --- the main guest providing commentary was prudishly against it and became boringly typical and stereotypical after a bit --- and there was no really good counterpoints --- which were, I guess, supposed to be left to the imagination of the viewers.
 
Well, "hey Mr. Light Man, how about turning those lights down?  way down ............ Ah, what do we care?!"
 
There's an overhead dogmatic presence when it comes to sex in American homes even. And, sure, well, yeah, there are even freaking laws in the south where people can enjoy oral or something like that. Moreover, you have this uptight, prudish woman on CNN's ShowBiz Tonight which cannot even entertain the entertainment value of sex on HBO and ShowTime and she spews puritanical rhetoric of some kind of outdated moral crusade from a broken and morally bankrupt "contract with America."
 
When I see David Duchovony is involved in the ShowTime series in question, although I have never seen the series aside from the clips on ShowBiz Tonight, I would say it's safe to say that Mr. Duchovony is tasteful enough as a successful actor and decent human being that he would not be part of a series that is like mere porn (and not to be taken as anything against healthy mainstream porn).
 
The scene I saw of the David Duchovony series was him in a bathrobe and some hot trollop in some sexy undergarments and she was on-all-fours while he was doing a line of, what I assume was, cocaine from her lower-back/panty-line up her spine to her middle.
 
What an image! This seemed like good artwork to me. That's all. In the respect that most men and women lead horribly boring lives and have not tapped into any meaning-of-life, this is all this pathetic viewers have to make themselves feel like rock-stars. People barely read anymore, they hardly engage in any civic stimulation, they hate their families, their miserable, they're not very social, not very sexxy and this kind of "healthy" sexuality on TV is an obvious release for them.
 
I'd rather they watch sex on TV than repress and suppress themselves more to the point it's unhealthy and then they commit acts like allot of the revered "good Reverends" do to get them in trouble or any act which is, literally, violating another.
 
For another day, we've taken meaningful "ritual" out of lives and have filled it with stress, hypocrisy and more lies and repression. This is a big part of the sociological ills of modern society and the need to live vicariously through characters on-the-screen.
 
We've been transformed from naked bodies dancing on the hillside to a pair of eyes staring in the dark at the silver screen.
 
P.S. Brooke looked hot last night = A+++
