Sex: eHarmony, Nudity and Proof that Sex Sells

Sex Goes Public

The days when sex was a private matter between two consenting adults are gone for good. Sex is now public. In a big way. Subject to instruction, modification and definition by an ever expanding array of bureaucrats, courts, religious leaders, organizations and miscellaneous busy bodies.

Now that it is out of the closet, public sex is being used in a variety of ingenious ways. Mexico City just decided to give out Viagra to every male over the age of 50. Mayor Marcelo Ebrard says the city is implementing the plan because sexuality "has a lot to do with quality of life and our happiness."

In Australia, an official 'sex' party, having enlisted the necessary 500 members, will get an official entry into national politics when it registers with the electoral commission next week. This new sex party sees itself as "a political response to the sexual needs of Australians in the face of moral campaigners and prudish politicians."

Here in the USA, the left has long been adamant about keeping the government out of bedrooms. With the recent defeat of gay marriage in three states however, they're changing their tune. Government is now OK, as long as it hews to the progressive view.

What can't be accomplished at the ballot box is now being accomplished by activist judges.

Dating site, E Harmony, originally founded to promote traditional love and marriage, has bowed to a court order and officially agreed to begin matching homosexual couples, beginning next year.

The courts may also replace the people's votes, especially on California's Proposition 8, which bans gay marriage. The California Supreme Court just agreed to hear legal challenges to this voter-approved measure. If past rulings are any indication, the voter's will be over ruled, once again, by the elites on this left leaning, activist court.




Sex sells. It's controversial and titillating. And government isn't the only sector rushing in to use sex to promote their own agenda. In South Carolina, a with-it pastor last week challenged his congregation to 7 days of sex. "We want couples to intentionally walk, even run, toward the marriage bed and away from sin city."

Advertisers, long known for pushing the sexual envelope, are pushing it even further. Penthouse is looking to buy a casino on the Las Vegas Strip and generate business by tying it to the adult magazine and Web site.

In Australia a holiday resort is planning a month-long, nude, "anything goes" party. Ostensibly to divert people's attention from the messy economic downturn.

I expect more 'let them eat cake' bacchanals will follow.


After all, the masses must be kept happy. And want harm is there in making a profit at the same time? As long as we don't call it capitalism, it should be a sure winner, as a company in Massachusetts is finding out. Their new ad campaign, promoting a web site that informs people how to cheat on their spouses, is generating tons of publicity.



Organizations are jumping on the public sex bandwagon also. PETA, which bills themselves as an 'animal rights' group, is planning to stage a nude protest to discourage locals from attending an upcoming Ringling Brothers Circus show in Louisiana. The appalling mental images that spring to mind actually serve to increase PETA's latest bid for yet another 15 minutes of conversation on the national stage.


Sex in public is the new 'in' thing. Granted, you might still be subject to arrest if you engage in sex too openly, as one 41 year-old woman recently did on a crowded train in England. But for your average high-schooler here at home, being caught engaged in the 'non-sex' Bill Clinton made popular, only serves to enhance one's You Tube reputation.

Traditional sex, which includes love and marriage and a private setting, is sneered upon by the enlightened elites who are intent on transforming a once beautiful act into a useful tool to be used to further diverse agendas.

It remains unlikely that traditional, Christian men and women will be able to put this genie back into the bottle. Pandora's box has been opened and the ramifications will continue to affect ever increasing segments of what used to be 'polite society'. Unless, of course, we can find a way to bring shame back into the public arena. Here's hoping.

Page Three Girls, Boobs, U.K. Papers: British Know What Sells

A Tip for the New York Times?




DBKP, in order to keep the public properly informed, scans many dozens of articles, papers, and news referrals a day. As such, we here at DBKP are in a particularly good position to note patterns. And an interesting pattern has emerged: the English media are obsessed with Boobs.

No, not idiots.

Boobs as in breasts.

Yes! Another Boobs story!

Everyone, I would guess, is aware of the English tabloids "Page Three" girls. These are partially nude women within the papers, designed to attract male customers who do not wish to read, but whose vision is normal. It must work because the models are paid well and the Tabloids move off the stand. It is an approach the New York Times might try. It sure beats photo shopped pictures of Obama with a halo.

But we have noticed something else.The English newspapers, under the bare pretense of breaking news,also write about boobs . A lot. And the bigger, the better. As an example, this trio of leads in The Daily Mail, which is a very good paper, caught our attention,

Bra bust as M&S accused of 'levying tax on bigger breasts'
I've got to get this off my chest!


The treadmill test that measures the bounce in your bosomThis treasure trove of boobography was compiled from a selection of articles from a mere two weeks or so, and is representative rather than exhaustive. In other words, there is a lot more. And all articles, which are long and generally well written, are heavily pictured to help us understand the problems of women with large and very attractive busts.


--from Tax on Bigger Breasts


Speaking of a lot, that is something all the articles have in common. They seem to fixate around large breasts. Hardly a thought is given to the As and Bs of the British citizenry. Whether it be the poor attitude of bra peddlers, as in the first cited article:




"...Marks & Spencer has angered those customers with a lot of cleavage... by starting to charge extra for bigger-sized bras....

But members of a new group on the social networking site Facebook called Busts 4 Justice have stopped buying full-priced bras from the store in protest.

Its founder Beckie Williams, a 25-year-old children's writer from Brighton, said: 'It is like having a tax on bigger breasts. I hover on the brink of where the bras get more expensive so I noticed the difference in price.'I started trying to cram myself into the smaller sizes and realised that it was ridiculous..."


Or
Shopping for bras as in the next, the full chested girls lord it over the rest in a sort of backhanded way.

All women want a big bust, don't they? You must be joking, says ERIN KELLY. Bigger busts need bigger bras, and shopping for them has always been a nightmare. And now it's more expensive, too...I take a 32G, the same bra size as the pneumatic model Jordan. My breasts just turned up, almost overnight, when I was about 13. Ever since, they have increased incrementally but constantly, like rising sea levels."

"I don't see them charging extra material for the inch-thick wedge of foam that pads the AA cups, so why should I pay more for the extra lace on my plus-size bra?"


Heh, heh,heh.

Speaking of Erin Kelly, she is the official specialist at the Daily News. The resident Cleavologist, as it were. And she knows of what she writes.


(Erin Kelly and her 32 Gs)

So we were pleased to read that Erin would be tackliing the last story.

The treadmill test that measures the bounce in your bosom

It seems that there is an academic department called the Breast Biomechanics Team at the University of Portsmouth. And Erin decided she would see what pointers they might have for her. so...

"I was going to put my money where my mouth is and offer myself as a guinea pig to the department, taking their infamous 'treadmill test', whereby women run on a treadmill and high-tech cameras, linked to computers, measure the distance that their breasts move as they run...A treadmill stands before a backdrop of a black curtain, five cameras pointing at it. This high-tech 'bounce-o-meter' is where 50 other women have run before me, and where I'm about to go for the most unusual - and possibly humiliating - jog of my life."





"I already wish I'd never come here, but the knowledge that 50 other women, many with boobs bigger than mine - 32G since you ask - have already taken up this challenge, spurs me on. I strip to the waist and clamber onto the treadmill. The only shock absorber I'm now wearing is the gel in my trainers"

So Erin bravely tackled what is known as the Jiggleometer here at DBKP and no matter how often we called Erin refused to share any of those 5 tapes with us.

But we are confident that Erin will again take on this challenging subject. And when she does, we shall helpfully report on the same.

Oh, and , if the New York Times had any brains whatsoever, they might learn that scholarship sells papers, not rank opinion.
