Missionary Positions

Not as titillating as you'd hope, I'm afraid. It's a documentary on these two "Jesus is radical!!!"-types who go on a mission...literally...to convince people that porn is bad.

You know, at least they're not going to places like Vegas and Amsterdam and holding up signs telling people that they're going to burn in hell for liking porn, but still...putting a pretty face on fear and ignorance of basic human sexuality doesn't make it any better. It's the 21st fucking century...at what point are people going to finally accept that sex is a fundamental part of human existence and focus on trying to make it more emotionally fulfilling and positive instead of telling them that Jesus doesn't like them if they don't reserve sex for marriage (and even then, we'd prefer primarily for popping out an unsustainable number of children, please)?

You'd hope that at least going to Amsterdam and Vegas would open up their narrow little worldview, but I guess it just reinforces their image of the darker side of sex. They'd have to actually hang out with normal people who have positive, long-term sexual relationships and might even...gasp...watch explicit movies with their partners.

Eep! Blasphemy...

As an aside, this list of free, online documentaries is a _fantastic_ place to waste a huge amount of time. I'm looking at you, Mich...
