[AGL] small furry animals are being killed even as we read this

[Wayne Johnson]

So having "conjugal relations" in the shower is definitely out, right?

not to forget, downright dangerous at our age

  Some Missionary Baptists like me can and often do dance their asses off. mm

    Q. Do you know why Baptists don't have sex standing up?

    A. They're afraid you'll think they're dancing.


    transgressive |trans'gresiv; tranz-| |trønz?gr?s?v| |trøn(t)s?gr?s?v| |tranz?gr?s?v| |tr??nz-| |-ns-|
    adjective
    involving a violation of accepted or imposed boundaries, esp. those of social acceptability : her experiences of transgressive love with both sexes.
    • of or relating to fiction, cinematography, or art in which orthodox cultural, moral, and artistic boundaries are challenged by the representation of unconventional behavior and the use of experimental forms.
    • Geology (of a stratum) overlapping others unconformably, esp. as a result of marine transgression.

    So, it seems by this  definition immaculate conception and missionary style are the only  non transgressive forms?

    salacious |s?'la sh ?s| |s??le???s| |s??le???s|
    adjective
    (of writing, pictures, or talk) treating sexual matters in an indecent way and typically conveying undue interest in or enjoyment of the subject : salacious stories.
    • lustful; lecherous : his salacious grin faltered.

    promiscuous |pr?'miskyoo?s| |pr??m?skj?w?s| |pr??m?skj??s|
    adjective
    1 derogatory (of a person) having many sexual relationships, esp. transient ones : she's a wild, promiscuous girl.
    • (of sexual behavior or a society) characterized by such relationships : they ran wild, indulging in promiscuous sex and experimenting with drugs.
    2 demonstrating or implying an undiscriminating or unselective approach; indiscriminate or casual : the city fathers were promiscuous with their honors.


     So the question is, who can define "undue" interest in sex?  the Pope or Hugh Hefner or Larry Flynt or John Ashcroft?
    By the standards of those days, all woman who weren't saving it for marriage were "bad".  Whovever the snitches were were obviously judgemental selfrighteous little pricks who's opinion shouldn't be given much  value, and who probably weren't getting laid themselves, so jealousy probably played a part in their labeling.  Truth is most of the ghetto men and the women were " promiscuous" by the standards of the day. I was reminded recently that The Ranger once ran an article  titled "Has Sex Replaced the Handshake?"  The labels are archaic.  Now days even my arch conservative catholic relatives give their daughters birth control and don't  expect them to  remain virgins until marriage.

      As to the business of actually "describing the act of sex"....Gee, words simply fail me.

          This "thread" is taking on a definitely salacious tone.

          Personally, I would have us focus on other things.










          Killing small furry animals, for instance.

            Fontaine,

            Actually, doggie-style is very transgressive. Definitely something to
            crow
            about if Clark felt loose enough to share it with you (and he did).

            Helen was Clarks girlfriend, I'm thinking around 1963 . Short as me,
            brown
            eyes and hair. Clark used to crow delightedly about how he and Helen did
            it
            "doggie style" - how innocent we were thinking that was exotic. (Or I
            did,
            anyway). As for the listmaker cops calling certain women promiscuous, my
            recollection from a few years ago was that this was also the label for
            Tami
            and for Janis.

             Come on Mike, ya gotta run it. I will even get my lawyer to write you up
            a
            permission to use my holy monniker if I happen to be on it (unlikely as I
            was always lingering somewhere in the shadows).

              Thorne,

              I have in my hands a 6 page list (with a cover page)
              of Ghettoistas and Ghetto sympathizers, 82 names
              in all, apparently compiled in 1964.

              (Parenthetically the pyschiatrists' report on the collective
              psychology of Ghettoistas which you reproduced made
              amusing reading).

              As it was not reproduced in the Texas Observer archive,
              you must not have seen our list.

              Unfortunately, there are at least a half a dozen current
              subscribers to AGL who are named and you would
              have had to ask permission of all of them to reproduce
              the list.

              Reading over the names again, I wonder if the Wayne
              Smith on this list would be the same ole codger who
              lives near Bastrop and who left this list in a huff?

              Also who is Helen Yarborough? She is identified as
              "sexually promiscuous" by the guy in the white socks
              who infiltrated the Ghetto partays. Sometimes
              redundancy is ever-so-telling. For example, the first
              line of Gay Talese's immortal classic Thy Neighbor's
              Wife, reads "She was completely naked!"
