Girls Gone Wild

While some may find the “Girls Gone Wild” series of subscription video tapes a turn on, this production company like others in TV have pumped out a product with little forethought of its long term effects on America. There may be a visceral titillation over a group of drunk, attractive, collegiate women partying and exposing themselves. Alcohol and sex make for bad experiences. If you want to be sexually active alcohol is not your solution. While it sometimes favorably does lower inhibitions and was used to this effect in the jazz world, irresponsibly having sex today can result in death. It wasn’t until a few decades ago this scenario existed. First there was Herpes. A disease you can never get rid of and one that you can give to others in the act of sex is a menace. Whence did this come? Then there was AIDS. In an evolution of the severity of the seeming penalty for irresponsible sexual activity, HIV appeared. Who knew a disease could emerge that had the power to kill you for having sex in the wrong conditions? You cannot overlook the other ramifications of HIV. Intravenous drug use and homosexuality were major transmitters of the disease. Was this a wake up call from God? While the homosexual community might not like that idea, it is still factual that HIV was spread largely by homosexuals. Sodomy is a word and it still applies. While “Girls Gone Wild” may seem harmless, tempting young women to pose nude while drunk is a bad idea. Sexuality is complex enough. Our youth do not need to be Respondently Conditioned by horny and greedy videographers. It is simple exploitation. While the producers may tout their actresses (if that is what they are) are over the age of eighteen, suggesting women perform this way is problematic. The traditional porn industry has a clear line between amateur and professional production. While certain lower class production companies may be housed in seedy hotel rooms or apartments, the larger more successful companies are mainstream and proud of their product. There are no hidden, subversive, or evil messages in their product. They are providing adult images and video of erotic content purveyed by seasoned performers. There is no exploitation, except that years ago Traci Lords was clever enough to make some scratch doing a few movies underage. Even the courts decided to let her off, because she was smart. Internet porn on the other hand has crossed that boundary in a major way, because the internet mainly is a tool of our youth. Its origins are in academia and the Department of Defense, but since its mainstream accommodation into American society the internet has been a playground for our kids. Adolescent sexual activity is a byproduct. Has this been a good idea? In the case of “Girls Gone Wild” the producers are providing an example of taboo behavior. As an adult you can make the distinction. To vulnerable children with little moral or ethical guidance at home, this can be detrimental. Children may not be able to see the difference between reality and fiction. Certainly getting drunk and flaunting your naked body with female homosexual overtones is not exemplary, and the internet has become littered with similar lesbian content in erotica. Most of it is being portrayed by teenagers. One notable example of this is in the “Random Pic’s” category of one particular teen-oriented pornographic website. The majority of these images are “Girls Gone Wild” type photos of beautiful young women exposing themselves and engaging in lesbian type behavior. Rarely in these photos are there men involved. It is becoming a marked trend that our teenaged girls are being exploited by their sexuality, and that is bad. When the line between reality and fiction becomes blurred or the line between social and recreational gets confused with business, you are in for trouble. It is easy to exploit people when their desire to have fun is at play. Business is business, and it should remain so even in the porn industry. Stirring puberty and adolescence into internet porn is a sensitive issue. Porn of this nature shouldn’t exist, because the age of consent has not been reached. It is wrong for a handful of internet production companies to be schooling our children in the craft of sex. Even if parents are incapable of providing this guidance, it should be left to real life experiences rather than video games. Someone is behind the curtain pulling the strings of the evil Oz, and chances are it is just a horny Cuban man. This should be taught by adults just like the traditional educations of our children are taught by teachers in the public schools. The internet erroneously has slid through this loophole in the law. Too many American teenagers have websites and are performing sex acts publicly for money. While prostitution may be the world’s oldest profession, marketing teenaged sex on the internet is a mistake. Kids should be encouraged to find it in real life like we did! Maybe our quaint bars and clubs will become important to American society again. Everyone has the need to be around their peers, and after graduation from school these opportunities dwindle. Let’s not allow the internet to become the social mechanism of our future in America.
