"Goth Sex" = Anti-Climactic

hiddenmuseIt was an eMpTyV special re-broadcast on VH1 - what do you expect? I sat there watching it, thinking, "ooooh... goths and fetish sex. how exciting." *sarcasm*
Honestly, it almost cracked me up. It almost made it seem like most goths are into kinky sex - piercings, s/m, mummification ... the more the better. Yeah, some goths may be into that scene, but I have a feeling that you'd find your fair share of straightlaced types in that scene, too.
Of course, count on eMpTyV to act like it's some huge scandalous deal ... "ooooh, look Middle America - look at the scary goth chick and her boyfriend. He's got fangs - how scary!" Whatever. It was an excuse for them to play Nine Inch Nails songs (all two that everyone's familiar with, of course) and Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant".
Maybe I'm looking at it through jaded eyes - or it's a sense of indifference. Do what makes you happy. If it's wrapping your lover in colored plastic wrap, or collaring them - making them your slave ... or if it's just something as "mundane" as making love in the living room. It's your sexlife. Enjoy it. Don't let eMpTyV fool you with their pretending to be "on the edge" and "revolutionary".
For all three of you that are old enough to remember it (myself included) ... remember that there was a time that Duran Duran's "Girls On Film" was too erotic for eMpTyV. Now, it would be too vanilla by their standards. Of course, being a huge perv from the word "go", there was some kind of thrill from seeing the "uncut" version of the video. It was like incredibly softcore porn - girls making out, the insinuations of sex ... great stuff there. *evil smirk*
Oh, what I would give to see that video again ... even if it's terribly dated, and over 20 years old now.
