Modernists have been trying to shock the bourgeois, especially, using sex, for the past 150 years. So why should people be surprised that the shock factor has all but disappeared from the efforts of these modern day Baudelaire wanna be's.

We have a depraved culture.

[Viennacon]

Depraved. Symptoms of the decaying culture.

They are not trying to shock the audience, they are pushing the queer agenda.

Oh look, queer sex is enjoyable too. Perhaps you might like to try it also.

Hubby and I are watching the premiere of Season 4 of Game of Thrones and there is a sex-scene. Hubby points out that this was not in the book; and, honestly, it just stops the story in it’s tracks and I am bored waiting for them to get back to the story.

One of William Shakespeare’s first poems was “Venus and Adonis” now known to be his most graphic depiction of sexual excitement. His cousin, Robert Southwell, wrote to him and warned him of writing poems that only concentrated on the baser instincts. He encouraged Shakespeare to write things which lift the soul. When the many playwrights around him were writing what was essentially soft core porn, Shakespeare transcended them all by lifting the soul and becoming the standard by which all good plays are judged.

Dunno how they’re going to shock us when, for the most part, we won’t even go see their crap.
