“Promoting promiscuity, moral decay and cultural rot
How would you know? Did it affect you when you watched? Did anyone force you to watch what you didn’t want to see? Did you like it and that’s what bothers you most?
I thought so.”
What bothers me are jackazzes who celebrate the lives of those whose most notable achievements are damaging to society. Sorry you are grieving for some sleazy actress but her work helped make sex in movies mainstream. As someone else posted, her movies would now be considered PG13. That’s the point. Back then they were considered a form of porn, now its the norm as is all forms of deviancy, promiscuity, out of wedlock births, etc. Where do you think all this comes from? How did we get to this point? Ask yourself that.
I get your point. But I and nobody here is celebrating the lady, merely noting the passing of a famous person.
I get your point about the sexualisation of society, but sex is a wonderful thing and should be celebrated. The balance is having a society which celebrates sex, but has sex in an appropriate moral and cultural box so to speak.
A society which regards sex as immoral and the human body as dirty is as screwed up a society where anything goes. NEITHER is at all healthy. A healthy society strikes a balance.
There is nothing wrong with sex and sexuality on film or in any art form, as long as it is not overly explicit (except for porn which is honest in its way and makes clear that it is explicit and is for adults only) and is clearly for an adult audience. And is part of the story/art form, and not done purely for its own sake, a tired attempt to shock.
BTW, thats a fine Christian attitude you have to someone who has died (relatively) young of cancer. Perhaps you should ask your God why he allows people to die in terrible pain of such afflictions. Seems God allowing cancer to exist offends you less than an old 70’s softporn film.
