Current ads for Svedka Vodka feature a fembot made of steel, sporting a curvy backside and a come-hither posture. "The future of adult entertainment," reads the tag line.
There's something deeply disturbing about these ads. It's not the animatron with the blank, moldable expression; she's merely a video-game version of the inflatable sex dolls guys get at stag parties. What's so unsettling is that the tag line could very well be right.
Thirty-odd years ago, women across the United States burned their bras and carried picket signs advocating free love and the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, many of that generation's granddaughters are getting breast implants and Brazilian waxes, and their idea of sexual freedom is flashing and making out with each other for free in "Girls Gone Wild" videos.
When Erica Jong and Nancy Friday exhorted 1970s women to throw off Victorian mores like so many petticoats and pursue their own guilt-free sexual pleasure, they probably couldn't have envisioned that porn-star biographies would become best-sellers, or that teen girls would be taking pole-dance aerobics classes.
From hip-hop culture, where the boys drape themselves in long sleeves and baggy pants while the girls wear the equivalent of sequined Post-it notes, to the retro chic of Playboy and the proliferation of lad mags such as Maxim and Stuff, nearly every subcategory of post-feminist pop culture has seemed to work against the de-Bunnyization of women. When protests arise, young eyes glaze over; the naysayers are sooo uptight and out of touch.

If you have a repressive society like ours right now, we can all manage to turn our attention to gay marriage. If you have a country this panicked about that, you can't say we're libertine hedonists."

It's free until the paternity suit.
A Brazilian is taking it down to a landing strip with nothing left anywhere else down there. A Sphinx is taking it all off.
"thats a picture of a woman burning a bra. you'll notice its a very small fire" Woody Allen in "Sleeper"
Actually a Brazilian is taking it ALL off.
I don't even think they leave that much!!
A return to Victorianism wouldn't be a good idea anyway, for a start, it would be reactionary.
We need, perhaps, a modified form of traditional values - personal responsibility applied to sex.
Free clue. Women gain authority over men by earning their respect. OK, two free clues. Most men don't respect strippers, sluts, whores, or women who act like them.
I would argue that at least whores and strippers are smart enough to be paid to engage in sexual performances for men that they don't really enjoy. Might not be OK but it would sure be a lot smarter.
Interestingly enough, the style in Rome until about the second century AD was a half moon shape down there. This was evidenced in the nude statues of the time, and later verified in the ruins of Herculaneum (buried by Vesuvius on August 24th, AD 79). Archeologists found the carbonized remains of women who's, um , "haircuts" were visable against the pressed up silk fabric of their garments. The "Brazilian" look (although I bet they called it something else) did not become popular until later centuries, and actually coincided with the fall of the Empire. Coincidence?
Freedom that is only used to further detestable behavior becomes a liability to the society that goes down that road. Freedom and liberty are wonderful things when practiced responsibly but horrors when practiced without regard for others. And before the libertarians chime in, remember that most libertarians also demand at least a minimum amout of civility and structure to prevent total anarchy because almost everyone grasps that unlimited freedom (i.e, anarchy) is a bad thing.
HEHEHE, the last quater!! The Brazilian would be closer to a cresent moon!! Maybe it should be called the 'Islamic wax'!!
A good mooselimb girl doesn't want anybody to see her naked ever. Including her husband or any of the other wives in the brothel. Why bother with all the gardening?
I saw this come up on a different Web site. Apparently some of the doctors who perform this type of surgery put their work up on the internet. Obviously not work safe. Stimulating work if you can get it. It certainly has to beat proctology.
In Africa you don't even need to visit a doctor for that sort of thing.
Good point!! Think of the undergrowth.....
