I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE
I am not going to be jerked around any more and neither should you. What the hell
is going on with the recent North American panic about pornography? What is pornography?
I have a lot of trouble getting a simple definition that makes any sense, from
anyone. Yet it seems to be the "in" topic for more bureaucratic interventions.
The original meaning of pornography was, "The writing of prostitutes."
Today's anti-pornography do-gooders have reached far beyond that. They now opportunistically
misuse the word to apply to virtually anything they don't like. I am sick and
tired of the Andrea Dworkins of this world trying to decide for me and for you
what pornography is, what is harmful and how everything would be just wonderful
if we all moralized according to their fanatical fantasies. Jerry Falwell, the
great white divine planner, recently stated "we recognize the existence of
pornography and the impossibility of stamping it all out. But we do want to push
it back to Sleaze Town to live amongst the roaches where it belongs." To
the Jerry Falwells and all the rest of the self-appointed judgemental moral zealots,
I say, "To Hell With You!"
What most "purity" crusaders or vote getters seem to be forgetting,
probably intentionally, is that there is good pornography and bad pornography.
Just as there is good and bad in religion, in government — and in the feminist
movement. In everything. But, thank God, the freedom of choice ultimately belongs
to you, to me, and to all individuals in a FREE Democratic Society.
I wonder what Andrea Dworkin thinks about when she makes love —her way.
I wonder if she feels the same as me, that sex is beautiful and wonderful and
that equality in sensuous erotica is paramount to all of us. That sexual intoxication,
the basic volcanic drive in all of us, is fantastic. That the greatest high or
buzz comes from sex. That pictures and words and sex aids can enhance that glorious
feeling. That it has to happen from the shoulders up before it can happen anywhere.
That women can be gorgeous, beautiful — yes, sexual playthings.
And that MEN can be gorgeous, beautiful, sexual playthings. That HARD-ON'S are
terrific. That PLAYPEN's Turn-On Letters, articles and tastefully erotic photographs
can enhance and beautify sex.
Perhaps there are just too many who are blow-drying their brains. But they are
not going to get to me, or to PLAYPEN. We promise you, our valued reader, always
to maintain and encourage the beauty of "Sexual Freedom for Men and Women,"
which the PLAYPEN dictionary defines as "Consenting adult sex — with
equality and responsibility; but without guilt, censorship or governmental intervention."
It is because of this that PLAYPEN has produced and coined, in this issue, the
phrase most befitting all anti-sex, anti-porn activists — "The New
S.S. — Sexual Stormtroopers". We urge you to join PLAYPEN and get mad
as hell and not take it anymore. To join up with us and fight. To take a stand
— a stand for Sexual Freedom, against Sexual Facism. |
