Does Porn Aide In The Creation Of Sexual Serial Killers?

I've often wondered that very question.

After watching the BBC documentary "Teens Hooked on Girls" -- which was more like "Boys Hooked on Porn" I can't help but ponder over that question now more than ever.  I'm no scientist and I don't have a doctorate but something about the information I've been exposed to bothers me. Thanks to this documentary I now know that "Vampire Porn" exists and certainly have no desire to Google it.  The mere notion as to what 'vampire porn' could be makes me a bit puke-ish not unlike other pornography that seems to desecrate bodies and souls, instead of celebrating and loving those bodies and souls; and that statement comes from a very agnostic place.  But that's the part of porn that makes me uncomfortable, that causes me to look away, to know it's wrong because it feels wrong.  Yet there's a reason why that porn is being made, it's being made for those that cannot look away, those that instead of feeling revolution they feel arousal and instead of looking away they want to see more.  Those people exist.

The boy that was into this "Vampire Porn" truly gave the impression that he was turning into a serial killer.  He even sought out a sex therapist, knowing that he needed help with what he called a four hour a day every day addiction.  But this is the first generation with full internet exposure and immersion to be born, they're getting exposed to online pornography anywhere from 10-14 years of age and it is not the kind of dusty VHS tape from the 70's that you might have found hidden in your parent's basement den in the 90's--this is hardcore pornography with every type of fetish that you've never even paused to imagine or look up all linked to each other.  It's kind of astounding and appalling when you really stop to think of it and they delve into it in "Teens Hooked on Girls" and therefore I present the about an hour long documentary for you to judge and view:
   

Of course mention of early exposure to hardcore porn couldn't help but remind me of what I heard Ted Bundy say about it on his last interview.  He heavily accredited just this such exposure in creating his dark impulses.  Listen for yourself:

 

Talk about being forewarned.  He seems to have no reason to make this up, Bundy was literally hours away from being executed.  He wasn't ever denying that it was him who followed through on such horrors, he was just identifying the origin of that train of thought for him.  That's back when it was only in dirty books and magazines.  

There's another really good documentary out called "Rape For Profit", the producers are Christians and maybe that's why their outrage is so righteous.  The film itself is heartbreaking.  Human pain and suffering and torment is literally being capitalized on, daily, hourly, in America.  It happens to young boys and men as well but that aspect of human trafficking gets trivialized.  There were a lot of good articles on Alternet.org about it but I was unable to locate the exact links when looking them up later to cite.  But in "Rape For Profit" they talk about how a lot of these kids are runaways from abusive homes, where they were getting raped and molested by primarily male family members in the first place, thus making them preconditioned to being susceptible to this type of extortion.  Which pimps are aware of and pray upon, sometimes establishing themselves as "the boyfriend" first.  

And then that AshleyMadison website, is out there capitalizing on and trivializing adultery?  All while so many homosexuals fight for marriage access equality  and some share holders go and dilute the bonds of marriage for a quick buck?  It's disgusting.  Profitable temptation at the expense of your marriage.  What is the long-term societal cost at the hands of porn?--what is the fall out to be expected?--just so someone can cash in and check out?

In "Rape For Profit" they point out that the pornography industry has helped in feeding an increase in demand for human trafficking.  So I wanted to include an interview off of a TBN talk-show where the three male producers share some of their reflections and their documentary is surely worth a viewing as well.

BLACKFISH - (Short Documentary Review)

I saw the Blackfish documentary over a month ago and there's a scene from it that will not leave my mind.  In the wild orcas are materiarchal and a calf, even as an adult, is apparently never far from their mother's side.  Sea World capitalized on the first in captivity birth of an orca and within a couple of years permantly seperated mother and child.  The mother's booming screaming reaction will not leave my mind, it will not leave my heart.  

All of this documentary is an example of how badly broken the system is.  It exists as a microcosm of the macrocosm.  

Indigenous peoples had a great reverence for orcas as a spiritual animal and what are we?  We are not cogs or machines.  Are we not an entombment of something greater than our comprehension?  And if a killer whale can be made unnaturally into a serial killer what did The Whiz Kids help spawn in America?  By what confines have we let others define ourselves?  

When is Mother Nature going to stop being used as a sex slave?  When are we going to realize that our water is her scared blood?  The soil, her skin, the rocks her teeth, the mountains her bone?  That all of life is our brethren?  

People look at climate change and imagine it a product of industries and political policies, but what if it is the wailing cry of The Great Mother?  Coming through like the shrieks of a banshee?  What if it is our collective minds and spirit that are out of kilter?  Something a Doplar Radar could never measure?

Most of the animal kingdom is female dominated but the human male has wielded so much authority that to write that is probably a revelation to some, while it has been an inherent truth to others.  

Many societal ills and crimes against nature could have never come about without the siren allure of money.  

A time is coming when we will have to choose between the feminine mourning and the masculine pilfering.  

Trailer posted below; guess the post was less of a review and more of a reflection.  Do not lose hope in the days, months, years ahead, only strive to correct the balance we have upset within ourselves.  











Female Sperm Whale - (longer anti-domestic violence poem)

Greenpeace says that when the harpoon hits the female sperm whale

She screams like a human female,

Bob Marley say, “No, woman, don’t cry,”

But they cry all the time.

I’ve seen it too much,

Mens that punch

Like your face was a wall,

Like your neck is a wire,

And they’ll call you a bitch

When they’re a lair,

Wanna talk about wolves?!—


You’ll see a fierce green fire.

Because she’ll cry because she can’t afford for you to go to jail again

And you call yourself a fucking man

When the baby’s starving.

He’d drop $70.00 on some FILA shoes, call it providing


Can’t breathe through your own damn nose because the EMT’s suppose

It’s broken.

Your blood congeals in a puddle on the floor,

Keep glancing at the door,

Afraid he’ll come through it with a gun,

“It was the neighbors that called 911!”

How many times does he have to break your face until you’re not pretty anymore?

And what’s he doing to the children when you’re not around?

Better off alone.

Better off poor.

Better off gay.

Better off pressing charges.

Getting the restraining order.

Better to pull a Thelma & Louise

Be the last thing he’ll ever break and head towards the boarder.

Instead of cleaning up his mess up again.

What will it be next time?

What will it be next time?

Girl, why you got a generalized anxiety disorder?

His steps was like a T-Rex,

I gauged my movements around snores and key jangles…

Girl, why you apologize so much?

Why you speak so hushed?

Why you look so rushed?

Why you balk at my touch?

Why you so sad when you grin?

Why do you go back to him?

Then she say:

He’s family, treats me better than I’ve ever known, besides I got nowhere and no one else to go to.

He feeds me, clothes me, pays my bills, and when this place ain’t a warzone, you know…
…it’s home.

The cop gestures with his flashlight, she’s decorated the wall with a cursive ‘LOVE,’

“Which one is of him?”

“God, they’re all of him,” I look at her bloody, in a hunch, “and he did all that


with just one punch.”

5 Videos That Prove Women Aren't Funny, They're Actually HILARIOUS!

I know it's practically 2014 already but just as recently as 2012 dudes like Adam Carolla and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were clarifying for all people everywhere that women, especially the pretty ones just...well, are about as funny as a dead fish wearing red stilettos.

To understand what "being funny" is exactly all about in general, we need to recognize that to actually "be funny" requires a certain level of intelligence, comedic timing, witticisms, wisdom, and insight into not just the human condition, but into the subtle art of language.  These are all attributes that women aren't supposed to supposedly possess because men like to envision themselves as being the final authority on damn near everything, i.e. "mansplaining" .

It seems that at its very pith, the myth of "women aren't funny" really more so centers around the fear of a male being emasculated.  Mainly, losing the power of captive female audience members being participants--not equals--to their hilarious musings and, ahem, acumen. A comical woman morphs into competition not just for who's telling the best jokes but who ultimately is the final philosopher on the human condition.  Because that's the point, the human condition is not really the human condition when it's heavy handed on the male perspective.  Case in point, let's decipher the meaning of these two gender charged statements:


He was hysterical.

vs.

She was hysterical.


Despite the thematic context of those two sentences being featured in this blog, did you think the man was funny whereas the woman was overemotional?  If you did, congratulations, the patriarchal corporate social mediums have most likely successfully conditioned you.  You're a product of gender-engineering in its vilest form, the subtle one. 

But as promised here are FIVE VIDEOS OF HYSTERICAL WOMEN:


This is Natasha Leggero and I listen to her almost every morning when I'm getting ready for work; she's very fierce.  Since the clip I had posted earlier was not what it said it was, here's her entire comedy album.  It's more like an audio track than a video but whatever.    



Amy Schumer's ideal video would have been on "Swedes/Cutting" - which is a hilarious diatribe on uncircumcised penises.  But instead, since this was one of the only few videos I could find of her on YouTube, her subject manner is on her "slutty friend".



Again, the same problem with Aisha Tyler's routine on female masturbation - not on YouTube, but it can be found on  "Aisha Tyler is Lit" via the track Interesting Sex.  Instead, try to enjoy her comparing turning 30 to really turning 90.



Anything Maria Bamford does is pure comedic gold.  But it's less expensive to go see her than most male comic venues--at least last time I investigated it.  



Why Whitney Cummings hates porn and why you should immediately fall in mad adoration of her.  Unfortunately I am forced to theorize that it was far easier to track down videos of Whitney Cummings than the above 4 female comedians and that's most likely due to Cummings being perceived as "more attractive".  

No wonder so many great women are hysterical.

LEYKIS 101 - (link poem)

They’re a black horse
She’s Hoss
He’s biting at a bit while lost, dragging the wagon
She’s a sitting pretty boss but standing, a fist with a kiss
Digging for Goldilocks’ rocks,
Cross that she rules through woes
Because her flesh is tender and can easily bruise
They see their entitlement, not as a misuse,
But as vengeance.
They want to drink alcohol until four,
Play Xbox with their boyz,
Watch all of the sports and WrestleMania.
They’re all into action flicks
And have Magnum dicks
And they are under no obligation to hold the door anymore…
Children aren't raised, they’re kidnapped.
They’re pawns in a system that just goes on & on.
But she’s the one dancing with ties tied to her arms.
She’s the one the serpent charmed.
Chained to your side, with a strange face for love.
Richard Ramirez as ‘Night Stalker’ but that’s not him,
He’s just a bad-ass motherfucker
That would chop her up and eat her up if he could.
Because she looks that good.
But don’t expect him home for dinner.
He’s too busy torturing a neighbor girl with paint thinner.
