During a period of morbid curiosity my searches led me to a smattering of text files about pornography. Yes, I said about, not containing. I was intrigued by the titles.
There have been people against pornography for as long as there has been pornography, I’m sure. Jealous lovers who consider it a form of infidelity, churchgoing moralists who consider it immoral, and the list goes on.
But few gave the movement as much traction as Judith Reisman. She’s dead now.
I say that she’s dead not in a real celebratory sense, as the title of this post would imply, but with more of a sense of relief, I guess.
I don’t know what crawled up Judith’s anal cavity and died, but she had a hard-on for pornographers for decades.
Her name came up while I was trying to untangle a specific screed. This screed was rather typical of the genre in that it not only ranted against pornography but rather consistently blamed the Jews for it. So it was hard to tell, in this particular rant, whether the author was simply anti-semitic and using porn as evidence against the Jews, or anti-porn and the Jews were just convenient scapegoats. I suspect the author was both anti-porn AND anti-semetic.
In this particular screed, “erototoxins” came up. “Organized Jewry seems to have no moral scruples about profiting from the sale of pornography. They show no concern about the proven fact that highly addictive and dangerous erototoxins are released into the brain after contact with pornography and can cause progressive brain damage.”
This quote was attributed to Lasha Darkmoon, but when I googled erototoxins, Reisman’s name came up. As far as I can tell, erototoxins aren’t really a scientific thing at all. Yep, turns out she made up the word, to attach a negative stigma to the chemical changes in the body caused by sexual arousal. https://www.thereismaninstitute.org/law-articles/2018/7/25/elegant-erototoxins-and-current-science-overwhelming-scientific-evidence
Anyhow, this arousal-hating, American Family Association-supporting person died in April of this year. Good riddance, and I think I’m going to rub one out in her honor. God bless the holy erototoxins. Wheeeeee!
