The Internet is but a mirror of its users, a mirror of life.
It used to be in its early beginning a "Maschilist world" and it still is but more and more women have access to it, and I am happy about it.
It is the mirror of the cyber optimists as well as the cyber pessimists.
Of fearsome monopolies and creative open source developers, porn and poetry, self-referential circle jerks and genuine dialogue.
I just posted a comment about sex playing a big role on the Net (Tom Evslin was wondering how Google algorithms work).
The Internet is becoming a widespread entertainment medium,and sex plays a big part in it.( the Internet is but a mirror of its users, a mirror of life, where of course sex plays a big role)
On the other end we are in the year 2005 and we still see sex as something "dirty", "forbidden".
We are more than ever slaves of a certain religion which denies the evidence of nature.
"For two thousand years or more man has been subject to a systematic effort to transform him in an ascetic animal.
Parental discipline, religious denunciation of bodily pleasure and philosophic exaltation of the life of reason have all left man overtly docile, but secretly in his unconscious unconvinced.
In spite of two thousand years of higher education, based on the notion that man is essentially a soul for misterious accidental reasons, man still thinks of himself as first and foremost a body and looks for the fullfillment of the happiness of his own body."
This is the truth and will always be the truth.
And so, if you write about sex in your blog, the choice of ads is virtually unlimited: because Sex is a Universal Language and talks to everybody...
And the Internet is definetely the place to "Talk about it".
