Obscene Machines
Created | Updated Oct 6, 2005
TV Programme four Tuesday the 4th Oct 2005. The above programme was shown late because of its sexual content. From a psychologists point of view the latter part of the programme was the most interesting. Whereas the first part dealt mainly with masturbating machines such as vibrators and dildos, the second part portrayed the virtues of life-like Love Dolls. The question I ask myself, are these Love-Dolls, whilst obviously a substitutes for the real thing, any different psychologically to a statue of the Virgin Mary i.e. Madonna and child. or any other Erotic statue or picture?
Am I saying that the statue of the Virgin Mary is erotic? In a way, yes I am. As the name Virgin implies, she is a young maiden that has not as yet had her hymen broken in the act of sexual intercourse and yet she is holding a child that is reputed to be her son. The Church claims that this was a miracle birth, belittling the miraculous reproduction events taking place everywhere on earth. That is absolute rubbish and the idea is preposterous, concocted by theologians to cover up the truth. If the truth were known she had given herself to a priest in the temple whilst taking part in a ceremony to cleanse her from the foulness of her periods that had just begun. In those days these kinds of ceremonies were widely held and accepted, there was nothing more erotic or sexually exciting for the participants and on-lookers.
People form emotional fantasies with their pets their cars and film stars. Having a Doll or Teddy Bear to cuddle when we were children was very comforting and perhaps some of us are still inclined to have an imaginary friend or an object of desire. Girls pretend that their dollies are real and talk to them, cloth, and feed and change their nappies. They fantasize that they have a friend that no one else can see. Some exclaim that the child was just being silly and would grow out of it, but do they, no; they more likely change the fantasy for a more grown-up one and that’s where sex objects like Love-Dolls come into there own.
The question I wish to ask everyone is; would he or she, who is without a fantasy, cast the first stone?
I welcome your comments.
