The
sexual icon of my generation is probably 69.
In fact, there was so much giggling when someone said the number 69 in
my age group, that now as I approach age seventy, I only say I'm approaching
age seventy, I don't want to say sixty nine because I'm afraid someone will
start that giggling again.
My
generation thought we were carrying out a sexual revolution, I think it was
even reported as that in the media We
tossed “unneeded structures” such as marriage out the window thinking we were
doing a good thing. We saw someone we
wanted to fuck, we fucked them, thinking that was a good thing.
Sometimes
I'm proud to have been part of that radical generation, sometimes I look around
at broken family life in America today and wonder if we weren’t what started it all.
But
at least that icon of 69 and the sex act itself represented a beautiful
equality between a man and a woman as they made love to each other. It was two people pleasing each other
together at the same time, bringing each other to climax, usually at the same
time, which could really often even be spiritual in a pagan kinda way.
My
generation really thought we were changing the world, we would just meditate and "make love not war." Well, we all know how well that went. Still somehow
that act of a man and a woman doing oral sex on each other in a position that
looked like the number 69 represented the blast-through changes we thought we
were bringing to humanity.
Fast
forward fifty years and what is the iconic sexual image of today’s twenty
somethings?
Lap
dances.
Don’t
ask me why, but I found myself watching lapdances on YouTube recently, well it was because I’d never seen one and was wondering, what is a lap dance anyway. In my mind I fantasized it as a reciprocal thing and I can see where a woman doing a lap dance could have as much pleasure as a man. I can see there
could be that “spiritual” climax at the same time thing we did with 69 that often takes it to
another level. In today’s diseased
world, a lap dance seems cleaner than a condom.
But
what I saw on YouTube was so… disappointing.
Nothing about the lap dances on these videos is reciprocal, where the woman is getting pleasure
along with the man. These are more like slave girl lap dances where the woman does all
the work and not one iota of consideration is going into her pleasure. She just sticks her bone hard buns up on the
guy while he watches her from behind arms dangling on his side, his facial
expression looking like he's comparing and grading her more than making love.
Today's lap dances represent a lot, show how much the backlash against women's equality pushed them
back lower than women were before.
I’d
watch one lap dance after another and think, Girl, why are you doing that. It's all about the man, it's him sitting there
lazy with a blunt in his mouth not giving a damn about you except to get angry
if you don’t jiggle just right.
To
me, lap dances could be done by a woman who’s had her labia clipped by Muslim fundamentalists. The American sexual icon has gone in fifty years from
a mutual 69 to a female sex slave act.
So
disappointing*
