Jan. 11th, 2006 12:08 amThere was a fairly interesting program about the history of pornography today, it was okay, and did a good covering of the sexual pamphlets of the French Revolution, but it was a bit too preachy for my liking. No covering of anything other than hetrosexual sex, with only the barest mention of anything else and no covering of yaoi whatsoever.
The thing that pissed me off the most was their covering of the Marquis de Sade. They made him sound so evil! Hey if the guy wanted to write about how he wanted to be whipped and shagged then that's his choice. Plus, I don't think they read much of his works. I couldn't relate what they described with what I've read. I've read 'Retaliation' and some of 'Philosophy in the bedroom'.
'Retaliation' was just hilarious. It was about this alduterous husband who is cheating on his wife with a nun. When the wife finds out about their affair the husband tells her that he is simply communing with God through the body of one of His chosen, not a sin, but a way to open the gates of heaven.
The wife is not in the least bit pacified, and decides to sleep with the local priest (who is a bit... free with his affections himself) when the husband finds them in the act, he is furious, but the wife simply tells him that, like him, she is communing with her God, and if anyone is opening the gates of heaven to her, it is the priest "For I have never seen such an enormous key."
Hah!
