let's talk about sex
just because i don't wish to talk about me and the boy, or whatever the past we had on this blog anymore, i'll just talk about um... singapore events.
vancouver hasn't been tt exciting, much. the fog still exists, so running is a visible impossibility. i've skipped class all week again to catch up on the work i've missed last week. yeah, diana's feeling the guilt too. says tt we're being bad students. i beg to differ. i just say tt we're *exchange* students. we're entitled. it's a 1 year holiday after all.
jane forwarded me this link, and i found out tt we had had a sexpo in singapore most recently. i guess after the government's central planning history of romancing singapore and making singapore a 'fun city', the sexpo shouldn't be any surprise. yeah, i suppose they're trying to dispel the general image tt singapore is staid and stuffy and conservative (which it is. and i'll go one more step and say tt we have a whole lot of self-righteous moralistic pricks in our society too. not tt other societies don't, but singapore seems to have a lot more of them. must be the sexual repression, i bet.), but honestly, a sexpo?
durex did its annual global sex survey again (i think it's accessible at www.durex.com, and unlike www.playboy.com, you should be able to access it from any singapore portal. btw, i checked www.playboy.com out from here and there's nothing in there tt actually warrants a ban. i mean, it's not like no one's seen naked boobs before. you can probably google naughtier stuff and find FREE and ACCESSIBLE porn sites with a lot more stuff if you wanted to), and singapore is unsurprisingly down in the doldrums for sex. i wonder who on earth's been doing the survey though. it seems the majority of the population are sex-adverse and prissy and yeah... oral sex is still prohibited because according to our chief justice it runs contrary to the standards of asian public morality. but to be honest, from what i'm hearing the minority of the population who fuck like jackrabbits more than make up for the frigidity of the majority. i assumes tt's why the durex survey findings are so dismal - the minority are too busy fucking to go online to look at surveys. besides, if you're familiar with how to use a condom, you probably wouldn't need to go to the website and figure out what the difference between together and sensation is and you wouldn't need to wonder what to do with strawberry-flavoured.
but i digress. and yes, i know i'm being undeniably provocative today. anyway coz she said it was funny, i went to the link, and i was shown pictures of what was going on at the sexpo. we had erm... overweight exotic dancers, and really ugly women (ok. i admit i'm not a looker and i'm not hot or anything) trying too hard with teeny tiny uniforms and fishnets. apparently the sex toys and furniture section is only for those over 21. still.
oh please. by 16 you can have sex already. let's face it. the majority of the population (and i'm not talking about the 10% elite who go to the upper-middle class creme de la creme schools and can afford to get plastic surgery and don't have to worry about what gangfights and drugs are about or having to quit school to help your father out at his hawker stall) have probably done it before 16. or 18. i mean, unless you're a fundementalist christian or catholic (but then again i know more than enough of both who have done it anyway, so we can stuff the hypocrisy and moral double-standards). army boys who've gone through NS will probably have lost it by then. everyone knows tt most of the bo taks at zouk on wed night have only one thing in mind, and judging from the way they dance, it's NOT to boogie with the music. even our fave singapore nudist blogger sarongpartygirl (yes. i do read her blog sometimes because i think she has interesting viewpoints) is only 19 years old. does tt mean tt she can't enter this part of the exhibition either even though she's probably got and used most of the stuff displayed there? so why the fuck is there this "over 21" criterion for the interesting part of the exhibition? i mean, the only people i would imagine would be in there are the usual dirty old men who walk into chinatown cinemas with their big black umbrellas and chunky slippers.
and apparently the general section involves talks on um... healthy sex and protection. and the official stand of the sexpo is NOT to promote bestiality, homosexuality and um... PROMISCUITY. just like every other government-engineered plan to make singapore a more lively place, this one has been nicely socially-engineered to the extent tt any moron will know tt it's going to fail. you're not going to get more babies from a heavily-regulated sexpo. you're definitely not going to get more sex. the ones who go for this and who believe in this obviously don't know very much about sex, just as those pesky pro-life anti-abortion double-standards moralistic bastards wouldn't know tt sex actually involves penetration *gasp! OMG it is a SIN and we are all going to burrrrrn in hell!*. coz the ones who know enough about sex probably wouldn't even need to go for this anyway.
one thing about canada is tt sex is an open thing here. sure, there might be a certain about of sleaze sometimes, but even at the risk of getting bombarded with the accusations of societal moral decay and decline and all tt jazz from conservative pricks, i think it's actually a good thing. meaning, you get a choice. you get sex shops tt don't just cater to prostitutes, even though they do sell porn vids, handcuffs and sailor moon uniforms for the fetish people. you get strip clubs and you get "adult" services in the classified. but you get an outlet. singapore has an outlet too, although it's heavily regulated. but for all the conversative right's arguments tt sex is immoral and a one-way ticket to burn in hell, you can't eradicate it. it's still one of the basic human needs along with food, water and shelter, and just as how prostitution is available because the alternative would be a rise in rape cases, sex is an outlet for people.
otherwise, you get a society of largely sexually-repressed people, who also happen to be narrow-minded, moralistic, and tend to complain far too fucking much for their own good. well, i won't argue for cause and effect here, but i definitely see a co-relation somewhere.
just when i think i miss singapore, they pull another embarassing stunt. GOD.
