A stupendous Essay by Maksymilian Wolski "Eros, pornos and others." On the difference between disciplinary eroticism and the post-ludic pornography of liberation of the body. And it also explicates the sexlessness of "Sex and the City." In Polish.
"Pornography must in this sense become the source of understanding of the body, instead of being hermeneutics of the soul (as in contemporary "eroticism") or idolization of "organs without body" ( as in "porno"). This understanding cannot from the start assume boundaries of corporeality, nor allow subordination of the body to emotional and spiritual processes, as well as mechanisms of "identity formation" - pornography must represent sex as that which per se questions corporeality, uses, abuses and ill-uses it, as that which agitates the body without depraving it of anything; contrarily adding substance and sense to theresuch experimentally widened space of corporeality and allowing for unimaginable excesses of spiritual multiplicity and ambiguity. Thereby the body is to become the word of new spiritual constellation of fluid individualities - in the place of the word which has become the body of fixated and uniform identities." (Excerpt. Translation mine)

AGELESS SEX
YouTube - Ageless Sex
As Palahniuk wrote, "The point was, it's not the sex part of pornography . . . [i]t was the confidence. The courage. The complete lack of shame. The comfort and genuine honesty . . ." (Choke 18) As a side note, something more idealistic than cynical within me rears its head more and more with age as I notice how beauty and romantic duplicity rot relationships from the inside. It has nothing to do with sexual nihilism, irreparable gender difference or the belief that everyone has a sexual freak fetish. I just wish more people were that delusional about the possibility of separating good sex from physical attractiveness and age. Only porn sites offer such utopian demarcating lines without the threat of cultural contempt or criminalization. Alas, where pornography has outgrown some aspects of the culture of medicalization and judicialization of all sexual behavior, it has denigrated ars erotica. I'd wish more ars sexualis for the new century..
