Well, not really. Sorry to the two of you who are disappointed. I just really, really wanted to title a blog "here's my boobs!" In honor of the dumb blond bimbo on the Girls Gone Wild commercial. You know, the one that comes on every break after 8 pm on all the cable/satellite channels? If you've never watched, you totally have to, at least to get the full experience of the ridiculousness involved. 
It's actually become a staple saying around my house. Whenever one of Talbot or I do something stupid, I chime in with "here's my boobs!" in my 'dumber than a box of rocks' Valley girl accent. It's quite entertaining. I highly recommend it.
But then one has to wonder… why? Why does such a thing exist? And why do young, "cute" (I use that term loosely) twenty-somethings flock to the cameras? This question was floating through my mind last month too, when I was sitting at a strip joint in
So, there's always the arguments that I wish I could use – you know, "I'm proud of my body… I love the way I look…" blah blah blah. I get that. But REALLY. Why does such a thing exist? I get nudity for the sake of art. And I know there's a fine line between art and erotica. But pornography confuses me – as does stripping. Don't get me wrong… I'm not against it. In fact, quite the opposite. I just don't UNDERSTAND it. Prostitution, I get. It's a service rendered with an end purpose. But porn/stripping to me is like a tease. You don't GET anything out of it. You're left… unfulfilled. It's like dangling a sandwich in front of a hungry person (or a full person who ends up hungry by the time they see the sandwich).
So, how did it start? Where did it come from? Who does it? And why is it so damn popular? I guess I need to educate myself on the issue. Maybe I'll go back to school and write a thesis on the psychology of it all. But not from the "I was sexually abused as a child" angle – that's overplayed. And really, it doesn't pay THAT well.
Every stripper/porn actor I've ever seen appears bored. Out of their minds. Like they're thinking about what to make for dinner and are on auto-pilot. Like "thrust, thrust, spin… spread, moan, smile…" Because even if you get into it with the "I'm proud of my body" stance, eventually it has to get boring. And while I'm putting random thoughts out there…do you think porn actors enjoy sex with their partners? I would think it would be like any other job. Once you get home from a long day at work, the last thing you'd want to do would be, well, work. How about male gynecologists? Think they go down on their wives/girlfriends and go "bo-ring! I've seen THIS before!" 
So, why? If anyone out there has any personal experience, opinions or ideas, I'd love to hear them. Or if anyone wants to debate the issue, I'm on a roll. 
**As a complete side note, and only related because the blog is sorta about boobs, how do people feel about breastfeeding kids over the age of 1? Two? Three? Where does it become weird? I know what I think (having personal experience from being out in houses lately with women breastfeeding older kids), but want to know what the general consensus is out there. At least I know Lacey agrees with me.
