In the wonderful documentary Inside Deep Throat, one of the commenters (maybe it’s Paglia?) notes that in 1972, when Deep Throat was released, oral sex was still fairly taboo. It was mainly the domain of prostitutes and the free-loving youth. By the 1990s, it was so passe that Clinton could argue that it “didn’t count”, and much of the nation would nod their heads in agreement. How times change…

“Purity Rings” from Silver Ring Thing (SRT)

The virginity pledge movement is a Trojan horse for abstinence-only sex-ed and generally pushing Christianity in schools. Among the many fucked-up things about it are the weird behavioral outcomes for teenagers who get pressured into taking the pledge.

Compared to their peers, pledgers are either no more likely, or not much more likely, to delay having PIV intercourse. But they are significantly more likely to have unprotected oral and anal sex.

What the fuck?

I mean, this makes nonsense of the idea that campaigns like SRT (which has gotten over $1 million in US taxpayer’s money) are actually promoting public health. But forget that. I’m wondering about the theology. What version of sexual morality is this?

I mean, last time I looked, Mary’s question to the angel in Luke 1:34 didn’t read “How will this be? For I am a virgin, though I’m always down for some anal double-fisting and deep-throat action, or the girl-on-girl spanking-and-jello-wrestling scene.”

What the fuck?

Oddly, this is an ad for pants. I think.

It makes me want to run out and buy….stuff…anyway. Not pants, so much.

Annette Funicello (1942-), the most beloved of the Mouseketeers, in a publicity photo. As Funicello went though puberty, the nation’s moral watchdogs seem to have become obsessed with, and scared of, her breasts. They were discussed in newspaper editorials and barbershop rumor mills. She had to bind them and wear baggy sweaters for awhile, and when that failed she was kicked off the Mouseketeer crew. Even afterwards, Disney (who seems to have had a special interest in Funicello) insisted that she wear modest clothing in her early film career.

Check ‘em out. Those are two of three most dangerous breasts in US history.

I don’t know how old this is, or why the text is grommetted like a circus banner. Mostly, though, I just love the way I read the misplaced question mark as “Why? Were they born?”

It makes you wonder. Maybe lesbians are from outer space. Maybe they are garden vegetables that came to life when the good fairy cast a spell on them. Maybe they were summoned by an evil wizard…..

Advertisement for locking underwear, Korea.

This is from a page devoted to locking clothing (most of it originally targeted at seniors with dementia). Since no one there reads Korean, it isn’t quite clear how these were being marketed. Not as a rape deterrent (which chastity gear often has been), but they are obviously inconvenient for real chastity play. So it’s probably sort of a gag gift.

Super cute, though….

The Addams Family television show (1964-1966), loosely inspired by Charles Addams’ cartoons for the New Yorker, was produced by Nat Perrin, a friend of (and writer for) Groucho Marx. It was a show about tolerance of difference, portraying a family that was happily at odds with the conservative, conformist values of the early ’60s. They were macabre, supernatural, unpredictable, insane…..and also sort of kinky.

The idea that a penchant for chains or torture could be just an aspect of someone’s quirky personality was pretty radical, in 1964. It was also played for laughs. But it’s not for nothing that Gomez and Morticia are often described as the least dysfunctional marriage in any 1960s sitcom….

A German cigarette ad from, I think, the early 1990s. West withdrew the ad after complaints that it was “offensive to public morals” or some such, no doubt enjoying the publicity. A few years later, BDSM themes would become relatively commonplace in advertising. Within fashion magazines, they are usually played straight, everywhere else they are played for laughs.
