An Open Letter to Jenna Jameson
Originally, I wanted to slam your book title: How to Make Love Like a Porn Star? Answer: Fake it. Then I read it has some real heart-wrenching stuff, rape and sexual abuse and emotional abuse and drug abuse. It is half-autobiography—half, in that it was co-written—not a manual; it is a description of your climb to sex-idol power.
My question then changed: How does one become a porn queen? Answer (gleaned through numerous reviews): by having the shit kicked out of your sexuality wherein the only way to regain it back is through the illusion of almighty owning of one’s own sexuality. So, sexual abuse and rape were good things. You lost all respect for yourself and therefor could fuck for all to see, bringing you money, fame, fake breasts, money, your own company: power. Now you can make it possible for more women to fuck for all to see, bringing them money, fake breasts, money: power.
That women need some leverage power is clear enough. That women need their sexuality is clear enough. That the only way women can climb to power is through sexuality (usually distorted), their bodies (usually distorted), is not clear… I don’t understand. Though history has made it so.
Maybe I should pick up a copy of your lewd book, Jenna Jameson, so that I can practice my empathy. But I think, even if I coughed my way through, I would still feel the same. I would still be left with my other question: isn’t there something else? isn’t there some other factor of women’s lives that is missing from publicized saturation? a powerful sensuality, a stronger sex than what we’ve been selling? The real bits are missing, our sensual, spiritual selves; the breasts before silicon, the face before rhinoplasty, the sex before the abuse. Shouldn’t we be concentrating on the girls, all girls, instead of draining good energy, concentrated on the pleasure of men? It’s a fucked up puzzle.
I was thinking, Jenna Jameson, that maybe you would like a ‘J,’ you know, to help spread some real power. And anyway, I think you owe something to the hard working efforts of those internet information freedom fighters, if in fact you are the most downloaded woman online!
