Sex on radio, sex everywhere

I have to write this, but I have to admit
I'm laughing as I do it -- I'm no prude.

I have to laugh because that's the same thing
I'd hear older people say back when we had
these arguments in the 60s. I'm no prude,
they'd say, but a song like Let's Spend the
Night Together shouldn't be on the radio.

And I always figured, that meant they enjoyed
sex within marriage.

Well, I realize many people have sex before,
during and after marriage.

And when men said that, they'd usually add that
they learned all the cuss words while they were
in the military, and I always thought that was
funny since I'd learned them all by 6th grade!

I will say I'm nobody to lecture on "family
values."

I'm divorced and not celibate.

I'm also against censorship of the total banning
type. I want porn and Howard Stern to be
available. But that doesn't mean I want sex
continually used to get my attention. I don't
want to see Janet Jackson's bare breast when
I'm watching a Super Bowl half time show.

I don't mind sexual situations being in movies
where it's called for, but that doesn't have to
be every single movie released by Hollywood.

And I don't want every song I hear to go
into explicit physical detail.

I think porn etc should be available, but
that doesn't mean it has to be on every
prime time TV show and billboard.

I think Howard Stern -- whose show I have
enjoyed listening to -- is better off on
a private radio station than a public one,
especially early in the morning.

Just as I think porn should be available on
private TV channels but not prime time.
