Ketchup!

Ok, so I have been continuing with my paper (just don't look at my last blog date to verify!). I don't know if this is at all useful but I've started reading Lolita (the novel) and I've been thinking a lot about the reconciliation between so-called 'innate' sexuality, and social constructions of sexuality.

I've added The Magdalene Sisters to my netflix queue so I'm looking forward to seeing that..

Not sure if this is at all applicable, but on the Daily Show, they did a feature with this guy who had something like a 13 inch long penis and they kept focusing on how there was nothing legitimate for him to do besides porn. This probably has no real effect on my paper but it did make me wonder about these 'sexual abnormalities' and how society feels the need to remove them from mainstream society. His penis makes him a freak- and the show satirically suggests that it must overtake his being. He cannot possibly have any other capacity for skill and is sectioned off as sexual anomaly. Of course, his sexual abnormality is not immediately visible, but once it is revealed, it is uncontainable (no pun intended). He is a sexual threat because he is pure sex. Similarly, perhaps pedophiles are in a similar position- once their incontainable sexuality is revealed, they are outed. Maybe it is the degree to which they are sexually 'sensitive' (as in turned on by the smallest things- both literally and figuratively- children). Maybe this is a stretch though..
