My principal consolation is that the 'roids have surely "shrunk his junk" just as this photo has caused my own average-sized but metallic orbs to involuntarily retreat into my body cavity. Perhaps this is a paring of convenience; she injects his pimpled ass with HGH while he touches up her botox every other week or so.
Interesting aside on lip implants. As I understand it, one way they try to make it look more "natural" is to open the lip and insert a role of actual human tissue taken from a cadaver. While there are obvious points to be made about the parallel between the procedure's literal cannibalism and the social aspirations of those undergoing the procedure, I find it more gratifying to simply contemplate an entirely different interaction between her lips and a "flesh roll." That and hitting both of them in the forehead with a five pound hammer.

Sexuality
don't read foucault! he drags all experience down to literal minded world of words. he fails to see that reality is known through language, not AS language.
you know, you can deconstruct anything. you can deconstruct your euroccentric past, your history, you identity, your sexuality... but the opposite of insanity is not sanity - it's a reaction formation and you've thrown the baby out with the bath water. if you do that, you can never became integrated, only more neurotic.
read plato!
If the reference system postmodernism reverses is effectively extreme and irrational, its reaction formation is bound to result in something that is also completely out to lunch. The archaic view of sexuality was uber-puritan, so the pious post-modernist must believe that hyper-sexuality is everything-subtlety, responsible self-regulation mean nothing. prudery is one extreme. that doesn't mean the opposite is better.
Platos Symposium, Lysis, etc, theres the idea that, in terms of sex and love, we should take into account not just the body, but the soul, (i.e. platonic love) so it's actually more concerned about the spiritual implications of sexuality and the search for wholeness, in which I think the real solution to the problem lies. if all our energy becomes focused on sexuality and we don't care about anything else except materialism, then life becomes meaningless, and we become shallow and superficial.

when i talk about sex and sexuality, i feel that im really speaking about something else. I think sexuality is really a metaphor of sorts that speaks to far deeper things about ourselves. It speaks to our sense of self, our hopes, fears, insecurities, our bodies, our connection to other people and to love, it points to our relationship with god/spirit/life-force energy etc., However, its also a primal drive so I find very interesting the place where those things intersect.
