The Playboy triggered cataclysm. Can Savita Bhabhi do it for us?
Almost every teenager in India(including myself) is pissed of with the govt for not legalizing porn, drugs and paid sex. We look upto U S of A as a matured nation that is more sensible and has legalized atleast two of these in a controlled manner. But not many would know that the Americans weren't always this kool with their Spearmint Rhinos and Naughty Americans. I saw this program on Fox History yesterday with these revelations of the US till the 60's
1) Any explicit or implicit description of the act of lau was illegal. Imagine that and then literotica now. Books of European authors were edited and the concerned passages deleted before being sold in USA. Several books and authors were banned for the same.
2) Premarital and extramarital sex was a big societal taboo.
3) Live in relationships were illegal. Students who lived outside the univs with the opposite sex were expelled.
4) Any reference to sex in stand up comedy was illegal and a few comedians were arrested for the same.
5) Sex was meant for reproduction alone and indulging in it for pleasure was considered immoral
6) Use of birth control was illegal and sacrilegious.
7) There could be no intimate scenes in movies. Skin show was censored.
8) We all know about the homosexual story.
9) A woman was supposed to have an orgasm only through intercourse. Anything else :P was sacrilegious
There were many more similar beliefs, laws, restrictions.... So the society was not that free after all. There were lot of protests against many of the above but it took long continuous struggles before the conservative church gave in. The publishing of PLAYBOY was a revolution. For the first time it brought nudity to the bedrooms, drawing rooms and coffee tables of people. It met stiff protests but I guess majority of the sex deprived junta grabbed it and shagged all over it so it could not be stopped. It triggered the whole movement of the 70's where literotica and the double and triple X's were born. People were open to promiscuity and led to spread of AIDS :P
Jim Morrison had his part to play when he grabbed his crotch on stage in his usual inebriated state. Since then they have come a long way ( what with the 6 and 7 X's)
India as it stands now is much better and thus we need not lose hope. What with BJP losing again, RSS, VHP, Shiv Sena and co rubbed into insignificance, the Savita Bhabhis and Desi Papas strip clubs might soon see the light of the day in Mumbai or Goa.
Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope Rahul Gandhi wakes up one day realizing he has something imp between his legs and legalizes everything.
