I need to rant before I start studying for my Sociology exam. Things have been crazy lately, or I’ve been lazy actually. I should have start organizing and planning my week during the weekends, but then I sort of stuck to my determination of not doing anything to unwind.
I sit here, with numerous events running through my mind that has happened lately. To organize these thoughts, I shall type in bullet points now.
My friend, Shaun, from Adelaide called me at 12am, and we talked for 3 hours. It’s been a long time since I last talked to him (in 2008 actually). We were both surprised by how we both have changed over the years but technically still the same (if you get what I mean). More into this when I have the time
Been kind of dreading my photo project. It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s just that I don’t want to go out in this cold weather. The Iowa weather is really getting on my nerves, that or I need to invest in a really good coat or get a car so that I don’t have to walk.
I’ve been pondering about race/diversity issues lately. That and pornography (because I watched a documentary about it in class and have a one-page paper due tomorrow/friday). There is a thin line between pleasing your partner and degrading yourself/encouraging pornography. There is a thin line between using pornography as a intimate sexually pleasurable experience and degrading women/encouraging sexism. This can go on and on. And it bothers me how unconsciously I’ve been influenced by the ideas of pornography as well and how the mainstream media has (throughout the years) instill the ideas of women as sexual objects into our minds.
I will be frank here. Yes, I’ve thought of stripteasing for my man as a Valentine’s gift a week ago, before watching this documentary. And I’ve never watched any strip dance performance live, nor have I watched pornography before (I’ve read my fair share of erotic literature and that’s it). But the mainstream media/our society has instill the ideas of ‘stripteasing is sexy’/'stripteasing will enhance your intimate relationship’/'experimenting things out of your comfort zone in the bedroom’ enough, that even a person like me has been influenced to think that I should really do that for my man.
Okay, my 10 minutes is up and I’ll have to study. I shall ponder upon these topics again in the near future.
