This stuff reminds of the story about the Puritans who sat up late at night worrying that somewhere people were having fun which they shouldn't be having (or some quote like that). At my age you couldn't get to walk across the street to experience this "entertainment", but why some people get their skivvies in a twist about it is beyond me.

More than thirty years ago "erotic" dancing and x-rated movies were common in my old hometown and I'm sure many others in the Midwest. Now they are almost totally absent in these parts. Let these stupid behaviors die a natural death by being ignored or segregated in obscurity rather working oneself up in a lather about them.

Actually the reason for this is technology. The X-Rated movie theaters started closing up with the advent of the VCR.

Natural death ? Most likely...

1. X-rated movie theaters all over the country died because of video. Whacking off to a video in your living room was better than going to a filthy theater in the bad part of tow.

2. Blonde Midwest girls could make more money elsewhere.
