TMI Twitter from Kim Kardashian

Posted on | February 22, 2010 | 44 Comments

She was already in trouble for outing a federal air marshal on Twitter, now there is this bit of alarming indiscretion:

“I pretty much laser my whole body … I’m like a little hairless Chihuahua.”

This particular cosmetic trend — I’ve dubbed it the Deforestation of the Pubic Delta — is really a byproduct of the pornification of culture. In the same way, trends like breast augmentation, body piercing and tattoos for women have been mainstreamed by the pervasive porn aesthetic. 

When you turn sex into a commodity, the marketing mentality takes over. Young people are notoriously prone to peer pressure and fads. This is how depilation of the vulva — not long ago, something that only porn performers did — became well-nigh ubiquitous among “sophisticated” young women.

(Or so my sources inform me. I’m a happily married guy, and therefore rely on informal surveys of my young single friends for research data on such topics.)

Just as young women feel pressure to meet market specification in terms of their appearance, so also are they pressured to conform in terms of sexual practices. Whereas fellatio was, until a few decades ago, widely disdained by women as a whorish act — both too undignified and too unromantic for any decent lady to consider — nowadays it is reportedly de rigeur on the dating scene, the contemporary equivalent of a goodnight kiss.

The mass-marketing of fellatio (thanks, Bill and Monica) has now deprived that act of its former rarity, so that fellows seeking some special sexual treat now pressure girls for . . . er, booty sex.

Again, I’m compelled to rely on sources about this, but if the plural of anecdote is data, then the male demand for booty sex is substantially greater than the female supply. This situation ought to raise profound questions about the perverse impact of modernity on sexual culture in our society.

Let’s face it, guys: Everybody’s got a mouth and a rectum, whereas women’s tremendous market advantage has always been their monopolization of the vagina supply. So when you get with a woman and demonstrate an obsessive preference for non-vaginal sex, what is she supposed to think? Where did you acquire such proclivities, eh?

NTTAWWT, but it is my belief, derived from years of research that most women greatly prefer what might be termed a more traditional approach to intimacy. While some variety and novelty of technique in regard to foreplay is often appreciated — especially as a means of preventing monogamy from becoming a synonym for monotony — this is all prelude to the featured performance, where mere technique can never adequately substitute for genuine passion.

Well, an old guy could lecture all day about this stuff. My main point is that the commodification of sex and the influence of porn leads to trends — fake boobs, etc. — that are basically unhealthy because they are fundamentally unnatural.

As for Kim Kardashian’s hairless Chihuahua, I hestitate to judge it sight unseen, but  . . .

UPDATE: Via Moe Lane and Ace of Spades, here’s the latest news from the Department of Crazy Women:

Several people with connections to the university’s biology department warned that Dr. Bishop, a neuroscientist with a Harvard Ph.D., might have booby-trapped the science building with some sort of “herpes bomb,” police officials said, designed to spread the dangerous virus.
Only people who had worked with Dr. Bishop would know that she had done work with the herpes virus as a post-doctoral student and had talked about how it could cause encephalitis. She had also written an unpublished novel in which a herpes-like virus spreads throughout the world, causing pregnant women to miscarry. . . .

A Harvard Ph.D. who did her dissertation on herpes? Writing unpublished novels about herpes? Amy Bishop is the most virus-obsessed Harvard Ph.D. since Andrew Sullivan . . .

    More like publicly disdained but privately practiced. Not every woman is a lady and not every lady divulges.

    Going back before the porn aspect of this grooming trend, I think it is more about pedophilic proclivities.
    Also, is it an accident that this is and has been the requisite and prefered grooming in the Middle East?

    A) Shame on you for your contribution to any attention given to Kim Kardashian.

    B) Are you seriously suggesting that the world was a better place when men received fewer blow jobs. Really?

    If as you suggest, it’s the porn industry that has made women more comfortable with their own sexuality, and consider (and heaven forbid even enjoy) things that other people deem “whorish” then I say lets have more porn.

    I’d rather live in a world where I need to roll my eyes at the people who keep Kim Kardashian relevant, than live in a world where women who enjoy (or choose not to partake) “less traditional” acts of intimacy, tattoos, or deforestation are disdained.

    The more comfortable women are allowed to be with who they are and who they might want to be sexually, the more likely they are to find a partner who is compatible with who they are, and doesn’t resort to “begging for special treats” or seeking them outside the relationship.

    C)Do you think your mom’s grooming regimen was based on the “70’s porn bush” look?

    The pornification of the culture has led to the upswing in the number of Labiaplastys, and other vaginal cosmetic surgery being done. Instead of every vagina being unique, they now have to look like the Porn Star’s Vajayjay.
    The slumping towards Gomorrah continues unabated.

    One of the DJs on a major LA rock radio station traditionally signs off his shifts saying, with a audible leer in his voice, that he’s “off to pet the kitty”. I’ve got to admit, as a euphemism, “petting the puppy” also has its charms.

    On the subject of novel nether grooming, imagine this recipe: Jennifer Love Hewitt. Swarovski crystal bits. Non-toxic glue. A full Brazilian (I’m guessing). No idea of whether she’s circumcized any boyfriends that way, a la the cabin boy aboard the good ship Venus.

    I don’t have statistical data, but I do have plenty of experience to back up what you are saying.

    Once upon a time, it was apparently possible to tell most men that you were dating that if they wanted sex, they had to put a ring on your finger. If they want all of your body and all that you can give sexually, they have to give all of themselves to you. Basic reciprocity.

    Now, when you tell a man that you think that intimacy is special and, crazy romantic that you are, you don’t have any desire to sleep around before marriage, chances are, that’s the end of the relationship. The only type of sexual expression the modern ethic really advances is something that would please men with no morals nor regard for women.

    It astonishes me how fundamentally limited that “liberation” has become. It’s also amazing how many “feminists” have, um, swallowed the idea that acting like an unpaid prostitute is somehow good for women’s mental and physical health (when all evidence would suggest otherwise). Also incredibly sad because a relationship without the pressure of sex is just different – and so much healthier – than one in which the pressure is there and it’s a constant battle. Why on earth anyone thinks that it’s a good idea to deny that to women is beyond me.
