Whether it is just homosexuality or other forms of sexual deviations is irrelevant. The key, is that women’s power to arouse the male threatens their sexuality and emotional stability. They fear that women will draw those of their own sexual persuasion back into the fold of the ‘norm’. This insecurity makes them go to any lengths, no matter how absurd and irrational it clearly is to common sense and logic, to stifle the most powerful body part of women that arouses men.
So, far from those at the top having any real concerns about righteousness, they are willing to stifle the pleasure of millions, who are the 'norms', just because it threatens their own subjective sexual inclinations. [...]
The problem with your theory is that sooner or later everyone deviates from 'the norm' to some degree when you examine the specificities of their sexuality. People only really share common leanings in the most general of ways; the more you probe, the more you find that people have their own specific preferences within that 'general area.' The membership of this forum can illustrate this fact. Taking the broadest view the vast majority of forum members, with some obvious exceptions, can be labelled in the same way: Male heterosexual. But look closer, and this conglomeration of 'the norm' splits along all sorts of different lines into a number of sub-factions. For example, hardcore fans and soft-core fans (the latter aren't prudes or puritans, remember: they mightily enjoy looking at the female form, it's just that they're more turned on by the peripheral components of the body than the splayed pussy; by suggestion rather than explicitness; it's this precisely that gets them hard and gets them off), or 'breast lovers and 'leg lovers.' These sub groups can then be further split: breast guys who overridingly like pert natural tits; blokes who mainly want to see voluminous saggy mature norks being flopped around with; guys who get turned on by the idea of surgically enhanced baps; guys who above all like to see breasts covered in cream or chocolate sauce or some other kind of sticky gunk surrogate; guys who loathe seeing breasts covered in such a way, because it obscures their view of what they want to see (the bare, 'un-gunked' breast!), and so on. In my area of 'special interest' (legs/feet) I can certainly vouch for the fact that there's a* whole plethora of tastes, all quite specific and quite tightly defined within the general preference for looking at the bottom rather than the top half of the female body. There's more variety in sexual taste apparent out there than ever before, and it would all like to be catered for, thank you very much!
What needs to be put to bed is this lazy, generalising idea that in the final analysis what we're all eager to see and hear on free-to-view Adult satellite telly is babes talking dirty (as someone who owns Pete and Dud's 'Derek And Clive Get The Horn,' I enjoy swearing within the context of creative comedy hugely, but hearing babes effing and blinding doesn't get me off sexually in the slightest), repeated camera zoom-ins on exposed vaginas, and dildo penetration. Ultimately we're all hankering after different things, and the sort of bespoke shows that can only successfully exist within our own heads! However, awful OSGs aside, many people are more or less getting enough of what they want from these shows, a fair amount of the time (sharing and compromise are democratic cornerstones).
Btw, I think the idea that Ofcom is manned by a platoon of puritan, paranoid or 'sadistic' homosexuals or 'deviants,' who "fear that women will draw those of their own sexual persuasion back into the fold of the 'norm,'" or who derive pleasure from frustrating the babe shows huge straight fan-base can be dismissed pretty quicky, don't you? Ofcom will no doubt comprise a set of individuals who have different tastes and leanings, just as this forum does!
