I dunno why I always jump on the bandwagon of babble these days. I’m also not entirely sure why I always do it long after most people have stopped babbling about it. But what confuses me most is my penchant for writing about things that make no sense to me.

This topic confuses the shit out of me. Why? Because I’ve listened to all sides, and I honestly have no idea what I think is The Right Way™.

I’m a huge South Park fan. Huge. I love that they make fun of everyone, and still manage, in most cases, to cover all sides, even if their coverage of the side they don’t agree with is riddled with ridicule. (Isn’t it funny that sounds redundant, but isn’t?) I love even more that I agree with a lot of what they say. But this topic… I can’t decide whether or not I agree with them on this topic.

Episode 812 is called Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset. And it busts on Paris Hilton and the rest of the female celebrities at the forefront of “black sheep’ celebrity news these days.

In the episode, all the girls in school have begun dressing in full-on club gear, throwing make-out/sex parties with the boys, and acting like complete idiots who only care how they look and who they’re screwing. Paris Hilton comes to town to open up her new store, hacking up wads of come, and buys Butters from his parents to keep as a pet. And Wendy, as usual, is the only one keeping her head.

The message they eventually put across (in a monologue given by Mr. Slave after he stuffs Paris Hilton up his asshole) is that girls shouldn’t be trying to emulate this trend of being popular just cause you’re out of control. (“What does she do?” “Do?” “Yeah, what does she do?” ~blank look~ “She’s a stupid, spoiled, whore!”) That promiscuity and sloven drunkenness is considered wrong in society, and that’s how it should be. That being stupid, spoiled and/or slutty shouldn’t be acceptable behavior.

And on the one hand, I’m inclined to agree, but on the other, I’m hard-pressed to find merit in an argument that requires people to strive to be anything but what they are. (Another thing I’m completely and utterly stumped on, because if we do away with society’s taboos then there will be nothing to strive for, but that’s another subject for another day.)

There are so many things wrong with the U.S. today. Not the least of which being ignorance, apathy and entitlement syndrome. And with every new generation, it gets worse, not better. Our kids are coming up expecting to have the world by the balls, and things to just keep running, and very few of them have the skill set necessary to keep things running. Which we (especially here, in New York) foster with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, that forced schools to re-evaluate their curriculum, and lower the required merits to pass.

Our kids are stupid and spoiled. Not all of them, mind. But the vast majority. It’s evident in the way they treat each other, their elders, themselves. They think the world revolves around them, and that everything should just go the way it’s supposed to. And maybe they were always stupid and spoiled to an extent. But we’re taking it to a whole new level, these days.

The number of marriages each year is steadily decreasing. The numbers of divorces and couples choosing to live together unmarried are steadily increasing. And honestly, who cares? Not I. When it comes right down to it, marriage has become more of a business contract than a testament of one’s love for their spouse. But is this trend evidence of a society realizing that the symbolism of a wedding isn’t as important as just being happy together? Or is it a sign that we, as a society, are losing the ability and/or desire to commit? And if it’s the latter, is that really a bad thing?

While I can point out all the things wrong with being stupid and spoiled, I’m hard pressed to find reasons other than religion, and perhaps a misguided culture, to deem “slutty” behavior “bad” or “wrong” provided one goes about it responsibly.

On Eden Fantasys, my profile quotes Woody Allen when he said, “Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go, it’s pretty damn good.” And I agree, wholeheartedly. I don’t see anything wrong with one night stands, or fuck buddies, or multiple partners. I’ve had a lot of all of the above, and I’m not ashamed of it, don’t think I should be ashamed of it, refuse to cave to societal pressures and be ashamed of it. But I still sometimes wonder if I should be. I mean, isn’t this aversion to promiscuity a part of our culture? And I’m not so sure I’m comfortable with sex being completely meaningless.

One of the arguments I’ve heard is that procreation and lifetime commitments were necessity. There were fewer people. And since, these days, the world is overpopulated and under-resourced, procreation and lifetime commitments may eventually become a serious problem. Some believe they already have. So one night stands, and fuck buddies, and multiple partners, if done responsibly, may prove to be a good thing.

How far do we take it, though? Are we, by so adamantly standing against “slut shaming”, saying, “There is no such thing as too many partners or too much sex?” Are we saying there are no reasons not to have sex except that you don’t want to? And if that’s the case, have we really diminished sex to a meaningless experience?

While there are a few cultures that believe sex before marriage is a good thing, they are few and far between. Most are pretty set on sex between man and wife only. Is the vast majority of the world wrong?

My honest answer is, I don’t know. There’s always gonna be different ways of doing and seeing things, and the vast majority of them are personal choices. Me, I try real hard not to dislike someone for their personal choices. But sometimes… Sometimes there’s gotta be a limit to what’s “okay”. If there isn’t, things get ridiculous and the whole world dies of AIDS. Or something.
