VENUS BERSERK

A Catholic radio host devoted a segment to discussion of the out of control pornography problem today. What was not covered was the way it is only an exacerbation of the sex-drenched state of the culture at large.

 Surely Venus in all her eroticism burst out of bedroom privacy long ago, and about the only thing that distinguishes unmistakable pornography from most of the rest of the media output is that it is noticibly more explicit,  focused and concentrated as it is on intimate anatomical contact. Analogous to how a developing fetus in the womb  is fully human from conception to birth,  there being no definable line that is crossed separating mere biology from genuine humanity, the fun-cute-fashionable-glamorous-exciting-hot-sinful continuum crosses no clearly marked foul  lines, but just advances along a continually increasing shading of grey.

 It is, if you will, a Slippery Slope.
