   There's a very unsexy quality
   to much of the sexuality of
   the post-War II United States.

   Marilyn Monroe was said to
   be a "symbol of sex", but
   a symbol is not the thing        That obviously, transparently
   symbolized, and that map         phoney breathy dumb blonde act...
   had little to do with the
   territory.

   Playboy magazine was supposed to
   have something to do with male                And throughout all of this,
   fantasies, but the thing about                a continuing fascination with
   the word fantasy is that it's an              other cultures (where there's
   antonym of reality...                         so much more going on than
                                                 *here*): Paris, the South
                                                 Seas, those "firey Latins"...


     Thomas Disch got a short-story published in
     Penthouse (as I remember it) that was a pretty
     nice job at subversion: humanity subjugated by
     aliens intent on forcing a warped, unnatural
     sexuality on them, men and women raised
     separately, with the boys trained in a jock
     camraderie, doing rapid locker-room fucks of a
     latex/plastic dummy to the cheers of the
     gang... until breeding time when the male
     viewpoint character is released to rape a
     woman who has been bound-up in plastic so that
     she resembles the dolls...
