Sex! Porn! June 6, 2024 As sexual athletes go, I’m unlikely to make the team. I don’t even like porn.* That said — maybe it’s my libertarian streak — I think consenting adults should be free to do whatever they want. Most Democrats agree. Not Republicans: Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered. That’s no fringe Republican view, either. It’s lifted straight from Project 2025, the 920-page plan to hit the ground running when Trump returns to office. We Dems need to publicize that, because: . . . Americans visit porn sites at astronomical rates. . . . Pornhub, Xvideos, and XNXX had higher traffic rank scores in the U.S. than all the nonpornographic sites except for Amazon and Yahoo . . . [and] they tend to stick around once there. Plus: 80% of the traffic is from men — who skew Republican. Are they really okay with losing ready access to porn? We need to let Trump-leaning men know that just as women will be losing their rights — do NOT miss this brutal 30 second spot — so will men be losing their right to porn. Internet providers that dare to provide it will be “shuttered.” So none will. At least that’s the plan. And if you don’t think it could happen, because it would be so unpopular, I point you to their vow to repeal Roe. Few thought that would happen either, because it was so unpopular. And then there’s sex itself. Actual sex. Democrats need to find some way to reach an important voting bloc: men who like to have sex without condoms. Which I’m guessing is a lot of them. To get into the mood, watch this 30-second spot. Wonderful, no? But it doesn’t pinpoint my target audience in the way I have in mind, so I’ve written a third one. It could work just as well on the radio. It never gets explicit, so it’s arguably kid-safe (unless they ask you to explain it to them). It goes like this: HE: Aw, c’mon! [we don’t yet know what he’s talking about – maybe all we ever see is a darkened bedroom] SHE: No, you’ve got to wear one or we’re not doing this. HE: C’mon, babe! You know it’s better! SHE: No kidding. But it’s 2025. Everything’s different. I can’t afford to have a baby right now – and you can’t afford child support for the next 20 years. That’s the 20-second spot. Here’s the full 30: HE: Aw, c’mon! SHE: No, you’ve got to wear one or we’re not doing this. HE: C’mon, babe! You know it’s better. SHE: No kidding. But it’s 2025. Everything’s different. HE: [plaintive moan] SHE: I can’t afford to have a baby right now – and you can’t afford child support for the next 20 years. HE: [plaintive moan] SHE: I +told+ you not to vote macho. HE: But they were coming to take away our guns!!! SHE: Oh, don’t be ridiculous. What do you think? Can we reach this overlooked voting bloc? Guys!
