Featured review
Attitudes need adjusting...
Jack Fritscher, editor of Drummer, gay porn magazine says, "The thing the world is most afraid of is a penis."
WRONG! The thing the world is most afraid of is a WOMAN!
"Behind all sex predjudice is sex envy. Penis envy. It drives people insane, whether with lust or with fear."
Bwahahahaha! I think this is probably impossiible for Jack Fritscher, Editor of Drummer (a gay porn magazine), to imagine, but I think he and others equally obsessed would be amazed to learn I can go quite a while without thinking about a penis at all, much less lust after or fear one. Dude, get over penis envy and homohobia. Ideas originated, repeated and perpetuated by (gay?) men. Maybe YOU are obsessed with "the penis", but we don't care that much and we dang sure aren't afraid of you.
Even as I write this, I am realizing that it was quite possible that Sandy Daley, a Woman and Robert's and Patti's neighbor at the Chelsea, who have him the idea, the "edge" which made his BSDM photos more than porn, and all of his work better. She told him, "Just make it look like, I thnk I said, a Louis Quinze chair, so that it just takes your breath away. It doesn't matter what the subject matter is." And I guess he took HER excellent advice! Voila!
