Tina Fey hates strip clubs?

[aylara]

OK, so...I came across a link to a Vanity Fair interview with Tina Fey.

I want to preface this by saying I love Tina Fey. I love her work, I love that she's becoming a hugely powerful major Hollywood player, I love that she has a life and a child and a husband.

But I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to learn that she is a total prude.

I've gone through several iterations of responses to this, and my problem with coming up with a reply is that you have three or four subjects in there. In summary:

It's not so black and white as either you or Tina Fey make it. Strip clubs are effectively selling sex (or in many cases, ACTUALLY selling sex). The United States of Jesusland has a problem with that.

in other words-

jeffrey, it's safe to BOOKMARK.

I've been to a strip club, in a much more prudish location where the strippers couldn't actually bare all. If done right, that's actually sexier because everyone's imagination is better than reality any day.

Oddly enough, we just watched "Mrs. Henderson Presents" tonight. I recommend it--it's a good antidote to Tina Fey's unfortunate reaction.

As for People Magazine, why do they keep giving us these second-rate Hollywood weenies when Mike Rowe is out there?

Once a person becomes "bored" with strip clubs, porn, etc., again, talking predisposed here, they get bored with the small stuff, move it up a level, another level, etc. until they're in too deep (ie. exposing themself, molesting, cheating on their spouse, rape, murder, etc.).I think there are precious few examples of this, proportional to the prevalence of the industry. I know of many individuals who have watched porn all their lives and haven't gone on to rape and murder people. Yet we think nothing of the money made and the psychological damage from movies like Saw 3, and nobody is pointing a finger at those. THAT'S psychological damage. Desensitization to violence is about a hundred times worse than watching consenting adults have sex

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not talking about crazy torture porn or the wide variety of what I would consider to be unhealthy depictions of sex. :)

The positives are enjoying a richer fantasy life. Many individuals and even some couples choose to enjoy fantasizing in this way -- whether it be through porn rentals, online downloads, subscriptions to magazines, or going to strip clubs.

Exposing themselves to different types of sexual material in a controlled and safe way is how many people choose to spice up their humdrum sex lives, or to think about experiencing something that they might not be able to experience otherwise. In some cases, men and women use it to fulfill a need that their spouse may be unable or unwilling to fulfill. Certainly I know of men or women who are sexually disabled, and so their spouse or SO fills their needs another way -- with these types of materials in some cases.
