It's homecoming week, even parents who are otherwise normally strict buy their kids booze and hotel rooms. It has always puzzled me.

It is a typical grooming technique to get people to do things they normally wouldn't by framing it in a way that allows them to disassociate thier moral compas, responsibility, shame, and other cognitive faculties which normally keep them from being degenerate. It's the same thing with "sexy" Halloween costumes. Girls dress slutty, but it's "just a costume". They disassociate being a slut with dressing like a slut on holloween.

Women like being bent over and fucked hard. That's the number 1 fantasy among women. We imagine women are chaste and demur, they aren't. They want to be fucked like their husbands are gone.

We would all do well to be able to sort out our sexual fantasies from reality. As someone who went through a period in my life where I manipulated situations to make "my fantasies come true," it never worked. Doing what seemed so cool in my sexual fantasies was always crap when I actually did it. I doubt I'm alone in this. Now in a stable relationship, I find sex infinitely more satisfying having left all the fantasies behind and simply let it be what it is with each encounter. What we think we want very often makes us extremely unhappy when we actually get it. And what makes us happy is very mysterious and often comes from places we had no idea we were even looking.

I was taking about their fantasies, dude. I just want a ham sandwich and a bottle of vodka.

My comment wasn't directed at you specifically; your comment just called up a thought I've had a lot regarding the culture in general. Our TV, books, and movies are rabidly obsessed at this point with sexual fantasy. The blending of porn and mainstream culture is beyond obvious. At the same time we have a generation entering adulthood who report way decreased interest in sex. I've commented on this before; this just brought up the thought again. I agree with the people who say this looks like the end of the Roman Empire. It appears that once a society enters the decadent phase, this hyper-sexualization is part of the program. Not really surprising, I suppose, but sad to watch. Also, please note that I point this out from my own experience. I believe what I believe only after having tried the alternative for a few years. It took being an asshole to make me see that being an asshole isn't really fun and that I prefer and find it more fun treating people as whole persons rather than as objects.
