Is This Sexy to You?
by Lydia Daffenberg
Sex sells. Does my sidebar picture excite you? Am I selling this blog to you by even using the word "sex" within this post? Is this a tease blog or are you just happy to read my posts? Could you masturbate to the sidebar picture with adequate results? Will I bottleneck blog-traffic with my pornographic clipart and racy prose?
One of the people who posted a comment to me seems to find Brewed Nature downright trashy. Was he serious? You decide.
At 2:47 AM, Billy Joe said...Fuck that. Not to worry, I'm not editing my blog. Billy Joe's protest, however, does remind me of my strong distaste for censorship and small-minded folk, and I appreciate the afforded chance to write on it, as it gives me an easy blog topic for the day.I just caught my son masturbating while viewing your website. I do not appreciate the pornographic picture and the racy peoms. Please remove them immediately.
I've never understood the blurred logic of people who complain about "pornographic" or lewd material. Why can't they NOT look if they think the material is offensive? Divert their tempted eyes? Do they lack self-control? Maybe they go around jacking to everything. Maybe they think everyone should be protected from themselves--that no one else has control either, because they sure as shit don't. Why do we even need any control? They're always pushing their perverted thoughts off on others, and I'm quite offended. How dare they try to make nakedness and sex dirty when it's natural. How dare they try to ruin a good orgasm by stripping people of their preferred release--be it skin flicks, nudie magazines or my blog.
They are clearly insecure about their own arousal from the same material they want banned--otherwise, how could they say that it is "pornographic?" It must arouse them.
Maybe they're afraid of getting caught in the act, I don't know, some people like that. It's ok, I give them permission; they can look at porn. I don't mind and I won't tell their parents.
Oh I know, "Won't somebody please think of the children?"--Maude Flanders, The Simpsons
Come on. Let's not be naive. Once a person hits adolescence, they're gonna be interested in sex, nakedness and good poetry. Besides, I'd rather my kids happen upon some sex site or "porn" than see the beheadings, killing and suffering that war creates.
Now, seriously, does anyone really consider the material on my blog to be pornographic? Gotta be a joke post by Billy Joe, right?
Either way, I am very flattered that my blog can be considered this exciting. I hope the whole incident becomes newsworthy causing me to get some huge writing gig--some big book deal or screenplay based on the raw sex-appeal that Brewed Nature exudes. Now I'm excited.

I'm excited too. I didn't know you knew jack! I think this guy was pulling your chain. It's his way of saying he likes your blog. Or maybe he's trying to start a fight -- a way that some bloggers flirt. He could be trying to find out just how "snarky" you are. I'm quite sure he types in handcuffs.
Regarding the salesmanship of sex, it's true. Sex sells absolutely and is your ticket to blogger success. That and oil paintings of Narcissus and Persimone. (Persimone?) I can't remember the exact Greek tale, but Narc became obsessed with her reflection in the brook and wanted to shop for it, but her best friend, Persi, wasn't feeling mallworthy, having nothing to wear. Narc's reflection got involved, stated the obvious (that's why you go to the mall, duh), and away they went, leaving a very nice, uncontroversial landscape. And still there will be some retard out there getting off to it. See? You can't stop it, Lydia. Sex is bigger than you, bigger than all of us put together. If all mankind could simply roll itself into a ball and simple fuck each other in every conceivable way, we'd be less than one mile in diameter, but the puddle beneath us would be hundreds of feet deep.
Dear Anonymous,
I can be quite snarky (new favorite word of the week).
As far as the puddling flesh-ball you describe, I think this a most interesting origination myth--the creation of the oceans; primordial soup, indeed.
There really is something compelling about the puddle theory of creation. A kind of writhing pink monster mating with itself. I wonder if that is what God really looks like? I love it!
By the way I noticed that comment and I thought it must be a joke, but you really can't tell for sure...
Lydia! It was an accident. I posted anonymously the other day and didn't realize it. I never post anonymously. I think it's creepy. I want my name all over the Web. I want credit for the ooze pool. Trust me when I tell you I would not play with your head like that. Sad that this happened on a post about a disturbing comment.
CW,
I was pretty sure it was you by your wrting style. I loved the comment. Glad to find out it was you, finally!
Watch out for puddles.
Kids are their own best censors. If they see something for which they're not ready, they say "Yuck!" and then go on to something else.
Sex is like an ocean alongside which we live as fisherfolk. Sometimes people's boats overturn in the surf. Does that mean that we shouldn't teach kids, as they're progressively able to handle things, how to build the boats and use the nets?

What's wrong with paying more attention to what your kids are up to if you don't want them to wank it to whatever they see on computers etc.? If that parent was that concerned, they would have been sitting NEXT to the child or would have made a password to get past Windows. And this is NOT the 'worst' I've ever seen.
