Very Small Subculture!

The fantastic thing about the internet, other than porn (although sometimes related to porn), is the dramatic increase in the chances that whatever it is that you do, you can find somebody else that also does the thing. And if you can find one other person that does the damned weird thing that you do, to my mind, you're no longer a freak -- you're a part of a very small subculture.

This week, my invitation to a very small subculture came in the Rob Brezny's Free Will Astrology email. I like to read Brezny, even though my selection of personal beliefs usually does not include astrology, because I enjoy the weird optimism and sense of empowerment to perform great feats of surrealism that comes along with the horoscope.

So this week, Rob invites his readers to consider that funny might be sexy, which is a proposition I can wholeheartedly support. (Link is not really worksafe.) This is probably the part where at some point in my life I would have talked about sex with clowns, or something, but I try to be less alarming than that these days. :)

Funny can often be sexy - I recall a lot of mention of this in Spider Robinson's Callahan's Bar books.

However... if clown sex appeals I strongly suggest you watch this episode of CSI first:http://www.tv.com/csi/getting-off/episode/304948/summary.html

Dood. Now, let me preface this next remark with the statement that I have not done television in Quite Some Time, and I don't think I've ever actually seen an episode of CSI... But it does seem like every time I hear anybody talking about it, the episode is about the gruesome death of some sort of fetishist. Is that what the whole show's about, or are those just the most memorable episodes?

Well... you're not actually that wrong. Many of the 'best' CSI cases do cover exactly that - but usually they bother to do their research on fetish folk and treat them with respect. The main reason for recommending that ep is the high-larious scene of clown sex - complete with squeaking boots in counterpoint with the, er, rhythmn.

(Plus, note any ep featuring pro domme Lady Heather, because she is just so very hot!)

That's crazy funny -- also, that was probably a Very Entertaining storyboarding meeting to sit in on...

NSFW!

Please tell me what, exactly, is so scary about sex with clowns? I have yet to make a lover's nose squeek whilst in bed with them, nor is it even a likelihood. :p

I understand that some people are frightened of clowns in general. I don't claim to know why, though. I mean, clowns.

Please don't. Just...don't.

Ouchy the Clown cracks me up. And I had forgotten about him, so thanks for the link :)

He cracks my shit up, too. You're welcome!

Also, fantabulous new icons, my dear. Especially the one with this post. :)

Is drunk a suabculture?

[identity profile] featherynscale.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno -- I'm pretty sure drunk is mainstream.

*facepalm* I can't believe I almost passed up an opportunity to use this icon. What was I thinking?

Thanks so much for your mention of how to have great laughing sex.

I truly believe if more people were laughing and loving it would be a better world.

Did you sign up and get a free laughing sex book at LaughingSex.Com?
