A BROTHER wrote to me the other day to share a story of men being attacked for jacking off in public. As a DISCIPLE of COCK who believes in CONSENT, I agreed with him that such behavior is violent on people who are not interested in cruising or in homosexual sex encounters. Furthermore, it adds to the stereotype of GAY MEN attempting to FORCE our WAYS onto STRAIGHT MEN.
But my BROTHER ‘s main concern was actually the disappearance of the CRUISING PLACES of the PAST, places where MEN could find, REGARDLESS of SEXUAL ORIENTATION, much NECESSARY RELEASE to OUR NATURAL SEXUAL DRIVE and ANXIETY.
PLACES where MEN have GATHERED to WORSHIP and APPEASE the GODCOCK HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED throughout history. What has changed is SOCIETAL ATTITUDES toward SEXUALITY in GENERAL.
Before the ASCENT of the THREE TOXIC ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS, SEXUAL DRIVE was regarded as NATURAL, POSITIVE; A VITAL and EXPRESSIVE COMPONENT of HUMANITY that emulated and reflected the GENERATIVE CYCLES of NATURE.
PAGAN CULTURES understood that SEXUAL DESIRE SUSTAINED and PERPETUATED this reality, but it could also TRANSFORM IT.
Remembering FOUCAULT’s ideas, HOMOSEXUALITY as a social construct did not really exist. There was no need to IDENTIFY oneself as “STRAIGHT” or “HOMOSEXUAL;” it did not exist as an IDENTITY. COCK found HIS HAPPY WAY into the WILLING HOLES of BOTH MEN and WOMEN.
It is the SUPPRESSION of SEXUAL DESIRE what TWISTS the HUMAN SOUL.
IT WAS [IS] ALL AN AGENDA OF DOMINATION and CONTROL.
The CHURCH, for example, HAS ALWAYS KNOWN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to SUPPRESS LUST. By making SEXUALITY SINFUL, they could CONTROL us “SINNERS” by means of GUILT, SHAME and FEAR.
THREATENED with DEATH, those who would not SWALLOW the PAINTED FANTASY of ETERNAL DAMNATION, took their PRIAPIC (PHALLIC, MALE-ORIENTED) and YONIC (VULVA, FEMALE-ORIENTED) SACRED PRACTICES, and MOVED UNDERGROUND.
What was NATURAL and POSITIVE in the past, became “DARK” and “PERVERTED,”
The POWER CONTROL FORCE knew, however, that TOTAL SUPPRESSION would drive everybody MAD. They, for sure, HAVE NEVER SURRENDERED SEXUAL PLEASURE THEMSELVES. As societies became more DEMOCRATIC, places of SEXUAL RELEASE were COVERTLY and/or OVERTLY allowed to exist. Take BROTHELS, for example.
HOMOSEXUALITY, however, continued to be VIOLENTLY PERSECUTED.
Prior to the AIDS EPIDEMICS, GAY MEN fought for the RIGHT to express their SEXUALITY as CONSENTING ADULTS in private. It was the WANTON GOLDEN AGE of FULL, BAREBACK PROMISCUITY, for the first time since antiquity. But this was not exclusive to the GAY WORLD. Such emancipatory changes were possible because PEOPLE FOUGHT for them following the various CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS. For the first time people were OPENLY QUESTIONING the LIES of the ESTABLISHMENT, their policies of PERPETUAL, PROFITEERING WAR, BIG-BROTHER AUTHORITARIANISM and CONSUMERISM.
I argue that POWER decided to CHANGE TACTICS. The OLD TEMPLES are sometimes closed down in WAVES of CONSERVATIVE BACKLASH, such as the story of this SEX SHOP in Chelsea being shut down because neo-con parents are worried about their “PERNICIOUS” influence on their kids.
Let me don my CONSPIRACY THEORY HAT:
That is not the MAIN THREAT we have as HOMOSEXUAL, PRIAPIC/SPIRITUAL MEN.
It is true the DAYS of the ADULT THEATERS like the BIJOU and the ADONIS are fading away. My argument is not exactly an idealiazation and romanticization of CRUISING PLACES and BATH HOUSES. Those encounters, however, were more HUMANE than the CATALOG-LIKE BROWSING of GRINDR and SCRUFF PROFILES and the EMPTY, DEAD-END CONVERSATIONS that resemble JOB INTERVIEWS and the MARKETING of our SEXUAL DESIRABILITY.
GAY or STRAIGHT, WE ARE ALL BEING SWIPED INTO A NEW PARADIGM OF SOCIAL NUMBNESS AND COMPLACENCY, where CERTAIN HAIRCUTS and CAMERA ANGLES have a QUANTITATIVE, STATISTICAL EFFECT in the number of people who will respond to your MANHUNT PROFILE, when WE SPEND MORE TIME having VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES than actual PERSON to PERSON INTERACTIONS.
We are all being ASSIMILATED, HYGIENIZED, DISINFECTED, PACIFIED, NEUTRALIZED.
My Brother, Step away from the VIRTUAL PLATFORMS from time to time.
Stop OBSESSIVELY COLLECTING LIKES on FACEBOOK, TUMBLR and INSTAGRAM, and come to WORSHIP at the LIVING TEMPLE between the LEGS OF YOUR FELLOW BROTHER with BOTH his IMPERFECTIONS and his DIVINE QUALITIES.
By “REAL MEN” I do not mean the IMAGE of THOSE that satisfy an IMAGINARY CANON of EXCLUSIVITY and CHAUVINISTIC MALE SNOBBISHNESS
A REAL MAN is your BROTHER IN THE FLESH.
HOLD HIS COCK IN YOUR HAND.
FEEL IT.
SMELL IT.
THAT IS OUR GOD, the LIVING GOD. THE GOD MADE FLESH. A REFLECTION OF THAT WHAT YOU LOVE and THAT WHAT YOU FEAR.
NOTHING COMPARES TO HIM. TO THE REAL HIM.
REACH OUT TO HIM. HE AWAITS and LONGS FOR YOUR LOVING TOUCH.
HAIL COCK!
