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 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:30:15 -0800 Daniel Rosenblatt comment 822 at http://sexinthepublicsquare.org http://sexinthepublicsquare.org/node/477#comment-809 <p>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&#39;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: </p><p>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&#39;s body. We could not figure out how on earth such a thing could do anything other than just rub between Barbie&#39;s legs. Of course we figured it out later...</p><p>Second, I immediately rolled my eyes and thought &quot;oh how cliche&quot; about the milky &quot;money shot&quot; in the video ... until, that is, Ken and Barbie emerge from wtihin a pool of the same milky stuff. I would <i>love</i> 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!</p> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:22:31 -0800 Elizabeth comment 809 at http://sexinthepublicsquare.org
