I have three roommates in the barracks, ages 19-37. They, and several others, are currently engaged in a discussion of great importance. Specifically, which is better to jerk-off to, Family Guy or professional wrestling.
Yeah, the wrestling one does suggest some pretty serious homo-eroticism, but the advocate of that position claims that is because of "the real pretty women" who are also involved in the wrestling.
The fellow saying Family Guy, well his reasons are significantly less clear. He seems to like Lois a lot, but also think "Quagmire is so fucking funny." Yeah, that TV's top rape joke peddler's understood humorousness is, according to this fellow, a good reason to jerk off to the show, well, that worries me a good deal.
Ug.
I suppose that there is something vaguely refreshing about the honesty of this conversation. In other, more polite situations, the conversation might be about which of these two is "hotter" or which contains more specially attractive elements, but here, well, these guys just cut right to the chase, the 'batin'.
But seriously, what worries me is that both options here are 'bate-able not only because of the attractiveness of what they contain, but also because there is element of violence involved. On one side you've got Quagmire's sexual violence, and on the other you have WWF babes beating on each other.
Why do these guys like their sex, or at least their fantasies, mixed with violence? Is it just the power? Or is because they understand themselves in a violent context instead of a sexual one, and are more comfortable with the idea of sex if violence is put into the equation?
I really don't know, but it freaks me right out.
