"sexting" seems to be all the rage these days with ultra horny tweens. my interpretation of sexting is that it can be anything from a picture in the nudical, or simply an erotic text message. as a good friend of mine put it, who is about the same age as me: "if i would have had a magic box in my pocket at 13 that had naked pictures of girls, i would have literally rubbed my entire wiener into a callous." my thoughts exactly.
the kids got it good these days , with total access to any kind of seriously fucked up fetish shit that exists. when i was an early teen in the early 90's, it was a completely different ballgame. it was a full on mission, complete with enemy spies (any of your parents friends who might see you in the porn section of the magazine stand or video store) and hostile territories (the porn section at the video store, your friends' dads' collection under his bed, or a friends' older brothers' stash).
the procurement of porn took days, sometimes weeks. all of the stars had to be aligned for a standard playboy to end up in my lap (or hovering just above my lap while i was "perusing" the goods), let alone a quality hardcore mag (ie. hustler). can you imagine the amount of pent up sexual rage that would be unleashed on whatever small scrap of porn that i could grab!? (let me just say that it is entirely possible to masturbate furiously to the smallest portion of bare flesh on a page) the journey itself made the treasure at the end that much sweeter and stickier.
what does a kid with internet access have to even look forward to? i would hear whispers that a kid had a porn mag and we would spend weeks fact checking, referencing encyclopedia brown books for case study comparisons, and substantiating the claims by interviewing other boys who claimed to had seen the mythical tool of pubescent glory. what i am saying is that kids today have no grasp on the true value or power of porn. porn is the whimsical whimsy in the boner of every man (not exactly sure what that means, but it just feels right).
the internet and the flood of porn available today kills the magic and turns all these kids into porn stars in their own minds before the age of 13. when i had my "first," i thought i was a regular ron jeremy when i threw down the obscure and rarely used "missionary position." the fact was that i had not seen enough porn to know that this is the most lazy of the plethora of ways to get your wiener wet. the first porn video i ever saw was about a hooker that get busted and then like 100 cops run a train on her in exchange for not arresting her (shudder, cringe). that's some mild shit compared to what kids see today, and i was thoroughly traumatized by that video (for some reason i felt like it was appropriate to re-enact the video some years later with midget actors and a flock of seagulls, but it was simply an act of closure, so no big deal). the flock of seagulls may have been the members of the 80's band, or actual seagulls, but i can neither confirm nor deny the events of that particular evening.
we need to bring back the glory days of the full on indiana jones scenarios, utter mission impossibles, to bring back the beauty and power that rightfully belongs to gift that is the porn industry. this is a gift that is now taken for granted and not treated like the true gem of adolescent existence that it is.
rally in the name of porn my friends! squeeze your bottle of lubriderm, pull out that trusty sock from under your mattress, pull out a fuzzy, unmarked vhs tape, and salute the forgotten glory of a hard fought battle to procure the pinnacle of pubescent treasures.
my one, my only, sweet, gentle, slightly hardcore porn.
