Rule 34.

I was thinking about what to write today and saw the number 34.  That was wiggling around in the back of my head for awhile until I remembered what the rule was.  For those that don't know Rule 34 deals with porn and the internet.  It states that "If it exists there is porn for it."  

What that means is that there is porn dealing with all of the cartoons from your childhood.  If you have fond memories of The Transformers or Scooby Do, don't look them up.  They do exist and you can't forget some things.  There is porn dealing with weird obscure fetishes that you didn't even know about.  Your choice on looking those up.

Is this a human thing or an American thing?  Is America so sexually repressed while at the same time so bombarded with sex in advertising and entertainment that we have to branch out to other forms of sexual enjoyment?  Is Rule 34 normal in Japan?  How about a country that isn't quite as online?  

I'm pretty much a live and let live kind of guy.  If someone has a desire to have sex while indulging in some scat fetish, I don't care.  I DON'T want them to let me know about it, but I don't care.  That sounds disturbing to me, but hey, if everyone is a consenting adult what does it matter to me?  Oddly enough, certain "common" fantasies (rape, incest, and child molestation) I find the most disturbing.  If someone finds a willing partner for their fantasy does that feed the fantasy or provide a safety release thereby preventing them from doing the actual action?  That is a question for others.  

I do wonder what our society will be like in a century.  Will we be so jaded that it will take all sorts of convoluted actions and plans and gadgets for us to have sex?  Will it be the opposite and they will look back at our sexual preoccupations and think that it's quaint?  

I can envision those two futures but what if it's in the middle somewhere?  I don't think Rule 34 covers that.
