Anyone interested in Barbie and sexuality should read the brilliant short story by A.M. Homes on the topic. The story is available free on the web: http://www.barcelonareview.com/eng/eng44.htm or is that doesn't work just google "a real doll" and A M Homes

Barbies and Ken make odd porn stars!

First of all, its just weird to see porn-like images with no nipples. How can you have porn without nipples! And if Barbies were supposed to be idealized woman-figures what does it say about conceptions of ideal women that the dolls didn't have nipples? Of course feminists have been deconstructing Barbie for a long time now so here are my initial reactions to this specific video:

First: a memory from my own childhood. I remember vividly playing Barbies with my friend Brianne. We might have been 8 or 9. We both knew the technical plumbing part of sex, but neither of us really understood boy bodies. Ken was not helpful. I remember how we used to try to imagine the mechanics of intercourse using Barbie and Ken, and how in our preadolescent minds an erection was imagined to stick out at a 90 degree angle from Ken's body. We could not figure out how on earth such a thing could do anything other than just rub between Barbie's legs. Of course we figured it out later...

Second, I immediately rolled my eyes and thought "oh how cliche" about the milky "money shot" in the video ... until, that is, Ken and Barbie emerge from wtihin a pool of the same milky stuff. I would love to see a porn producer take that on in porn for a straight male audience: submerging a man and a woman just done with a sex scene in a pool of milky stuff intended to play on the idea that the guy in the scene ejaculated a flood. Do guys fantasize about being submerged in their own semen? Is there straight male oriented porn that plays on that fantasy? Just curious!

I have it on good authority that most of my female friends who grew up with Barbie dolls eventually let Barbie have adventures that weren't really envisioned by Mattel. Sooner or later, Barbie wound up losing those fancy clothes and bumping uglies with Ken. In other words, while I was helping my friends to dig through their garages for two-dimensional porn, the girls were making the 3-D variety themselves. This isn't totally inappropriate, given Barbie's origins. A lot of grown-ups have kept playing adult games with their Barbies, as the music video below shows:
