Dildo Freedom now available in Texas. Good on you kids for joining the 15th century. Check out that whole “no slaves” concept, it works up here. Anyway, enough of slamming TX, lots of good people down there and I’m glad they are all free to reach orgasm in the comfort of their own home. “People complained” about a woman selling sex toys (and lame, bougie ones, at that) but nevermind the strip clubs or adult magazine shops that are all over the place? Hmmm. But I’m glad I found this link to the older story about her arrest. Someone finally said plainly what this is all about:

Gloria Gillaspie, a pastor at Lighthouse Church in Burleson, said she has met and counseled some women who had talked to Webb about the products she sold.

“It was causing problems with their marriages,” she said

Translation: some women had discovered how to orgasm, and their husbands didn’t like that, because they were inadequate as husbands. And Jesus didn’t seem to have much to say on the matter that was helpful. Thou Shall not Use a French Tickler?

We joke a lot about sex and politics here at Corrente, but to me there is an essential truth behind all that. Republicans, conservative, fundies, whatever, are really inadequate sexually. It drives them, and makes them the crazy, angry, hateful freaks most of them are. From HotMilitaryStuds to Two Wetsuits to Maf54, something is just very sad and sick about a lot of them. And they know it. It’s why they are consummate projection artists; they have learned it as a coping mechanism for failures that eat away at their very core selves.

I think about it like I do when I think of racism. It’s a sad fact but a lot of Black Folk have internalized negative values or habits which spring from racist ideology. Similarly, and I don’t even what to go there, but it’s clear that a lot of Republicans have some seriously messed up ideas about sex, gender and orientation. Can this be fixed? Don’t ask me to sleep with them, I’ve done my time and I’m not going there ever again. Pity just makes them more impotent and thus angrier.
