Chapter 13
I remember one occasion when I was a kid. My dad was out of the city, racing his car and he left Mia and I at our neighbours’ house, Mr. And Mrs. Flores, for two days. It was the weekend and Mrs. Flores was a very religious woman, so on Sunday she took us to the church with her. I was twelve years old back then and Mia was around six years old.

Five guys, one stripper.
I lost count of how many times I’ve seen this picture before and every time I enjoyed it more than just a little, no exceptions. But this time it’s different.

I can’t believe it was that easy. Just like she said it would be. No wonder her damn bosses said she’s the fucking best.

It shouldn’t be that difficult, not after what I’ve done, not after where I’ve been. I should have gone to the apartment instead of coming back here. What am I doing?

The following is a response to Robert Jensen’s recent AlterNet article, “Porn’s Dirty, Dangerous Secret.”
When I was 13, a new friend, Andy, came over my house to watch television. We were watching the show, Time Tunnel. As the show neared its climax, I noticed that Andy was quite nervous. When I asked why, he said that it looked like the hero was about to be killed. I said, “Are you an idiot?! Of course he won’t be killed … this is a TV series and it’s on again next week!” It turned out that Andy’s family didn’t allow him to watch television and, therefore, he didn’t know that the hero of a television series never dies. He didn’t know the code.
Robert Jensen writes about pornography like someone who doesn’t know the code. He seems incapable of differentiating fantasy from reality. He keeps mistaking the reality of the sexual enactments depicted in gonzo porn with their meaning in fantasy to the men masturbating. If the woman on the screen is having 4 penises shoved into her, something that would demean and degrade any real woman reading Jensen’s article (and probably the actress performing such scenes), he automatically infers that the degradation must be the source of the male viewer’s arousal. It isn’t.

The broad keeps the kid close to her side, tucked behind her leg like she expects me to hurt him or something. Pisses me off. I’ve never fucking hurt a kid.

Duncan set the last of Theopoulis’ boxes on the chair and carefully unpacked its contents. Over the past few days he had done so with all of the boxes he had brought with him. Their contents were spread all over the desk in his quarters, and pinned and tacked to any available surface. Bishop had come in several times, to bring tea, to tell him about their progress. Duncan believed that the real reason that Bishop dropped in on him was to try to figure out how he did what he did, how he tracked men so well. Duncan looked back over his shoulder to the door of his quarters and looked down at his watch; he expected Bishop any minute. Over the past few years he had begun to grow predictable; Duncan never pointed it out as a dangerous habit.

Shazza kept her eyes on the ground as they made their way back across the grassland towards where they had found the Moorglade the day before. Much of the grass was still flattened from their previous trip, and she didn’t really need to watch, probably. But she did anyway. Her conversation with Riddick as she lay curled up with Jack had left her quiet. It had felt so good to hold Jack as the girl had cuddled up to her in the night. Shazza looked ahead at Riddick and understood how he could be so taken with her.

Ed. Note: AlterNet has run a series of articles on the frequently ignored role of pornography in contemporary society. At the bottom of Robert Jensen’s article you can find links to more stories addressing the many questions that pornography poses.
There are a finite number of ways that human bodies can be placed together sexually, and as one pornography industry veteran lamented to me at the annual trade show, “they’ve all been shot.” He sighed, pondering the challenge of creating a sexually explicit film that is unique, and mused, “After all, how many dicks can you stick in a girl at one time?”
