This toon sex ain't for me. Too cold and weird. Even the worst live-action porns at least TRY to create a friggin' story line to get you all hot and lathered and anticipatory…but hey that’s ok…if ‘you’ wanna get off with this stuff, that’s cool…some folks like sharing spit with animals, food and inanimate objects…so why not animated versions? And heck there seems to be a lot of this stuff out there, so surely more than a handful of people are INTO it.

The Point Is?
So why aren’t the festival programmers getting off their place that ain't their mouths and showing this really outrageous stuff? Even Spike seems to ignore hard core ani porn although he doesn’t mind hard core ani violence.

But hey…Smut duck. It’s all part of animation history…these contributions are just as valid, legit, REAL as legit soft porn like South Park, Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy and Plympton, or even artsy fartsy artists like Wayne Traudt, Suzan Pitt and Erica Russell. All of these works (from Fucks Pause to Buggery on the High Sea) are legitimate forms, expressions, reflections, imaginings from REAL guys and gals like me and ‘you.’

I’m guessing this part of animation history got brushed aside PARTIALLY because of morality and taste (and let’s not forget that these ain’t films you’re gonna find in the Whole Toon Catalogue, so this requires a historian to delve into the secret, lurid world of ADULT ENTERTAINMENT) and that seems to be an illegitimate excuse given that I can argue that some of the stuff that the current group of historians lapdance over is quite politically and socially, to use the original meaning of porn, "disgusting and obscene."

For e.g., Karl Cohen’s book only really deals with lurid underground films in the context of the ‘legitimate’ world -- which is important -- but we need someone to go down into the sewers and find the stuff that doesn’t surface. And what about ol’ Bendazzi… How can he justify excluding the makers of Bowery Boys Meets The Bimbos? Why aren’t these German creators in his encyclopaedia?

Where are the historians uncovering the Golden Shower era? Who made these films? Who distributed them? Why do these films exist? What does the creation of, and apparent need for, these films say about ‘our’ view of sex? Was there a stag party circuit? Did these toons play before live-action porn features? Let’s not limit our definitions of unsung and overlooked figures in animation history to storyboard artists, voice actors and layout men ‘above ground’…cause that’s cow chew…that’s just another case of blatantly subjective and repressive readings of history.

That being said…what I SORTA don’t get is why someone wants to spend so much time creating this sexual world -- whether writer, painter, etc…? I can understand an artist wanting to capture the essence of some great lay they just had…but isn't it easier to go and meet someone…or hell…it’s prolly cheaper to BUY someone. I guess film-video-digital is a better long term investment but just seems kinda sad 'cause there’s no real human. Not touching is like living inside a bubble or being a writer. Course if we didn’t deem aspects of sex between consenting adults IMMORAL, unnatural yadda yadda yadda, we wouldn’t need porn and advertising (isn't that just ‘soft’ porn?) in the first place and we’d all prolly be a lot happier and satisfied. And who the hell wants that?
