Sex Machines 350 rpm Some Sex talk There

Sex Machines @ 350 rpm Some Sex talk: • There is much talk about sex in general. One issue that is gaining wide acceptance is masturbation among women. • Self help ethos, health therapy discourse, self discovery talk all helps legitimate masturbation practice. Men and their penis: • Men are obsessed with Penis size, potency and performance • Men want to F### like Gods. • When James Brown claims he’s a Sex Machine, he resonates a cultural fantasy among men and perhaps women alike.

Machines, motors and endurance. Throughout history we have differentiated our human faculties through our understanding of existing and fictional technology. • It is common to use metaphors such as: “ I’m running out of fuel, or I’m losing steam, or I’m braking down” - all of which refer to the status of fatigue • desire to exceed the human: Robocop, terminator, Anime characters. • automation has been key in idealizing the image greater than ourselves -the aspiration of more strength, more awareness, more intelligence, more productivity, of basically MORE.

To the machines What are they? Do women really enjoy this or is a man’s plot? Either way they still differentiate the human capacity from the mechanic, unless the power goes out.

Again and Again Distance and speed contextualize the power of pleasure: Symbolic consumption: television viewing. Tv seduces wants you to watch more , by staying “tuned” by always interrupting the flow of signs and narrative. There is a constant negotiating act between consumer/viewer and service/product. Porn and boys: Most men masturbate to Visual stimulus which are representations of sexuality - much more psychological than physical The Sex Machine: Already subjectivized as desiring bodies, Pleasure exists not in representation, but at the site of penetration, just like sex. • However, one lover, the self. Nothing more to consume but the repetitive act of pleasure.

Autism For the autistic, the gratification of consumption has no END. An unlimited surplus exists. The internet: unlike Tv with irregular timing, the internet is always there, the webpage a mouse click away. Time never exists. Pleasure can only be measured at the pace in which it is being realized. Meaning our sensory expectations adapt to our interactions with this Always there, forever enduring activity -of course till one chooses to Stop.

The sovereign model My choice: The instance of self-sufficiency • The sex machine is asocial. It negates any economy of exchange. • It is autoteleos, meaning that it serves no other purpose but for individualized useless consumption. If the orgasm is mastered at inexhaustible rates, it is no longer a desired experience but a compulsion of the system to re-generate itself, to continue its sovereign existence.

The habitus I’m implying that the sex machine is emblematic of a greater cultural phenomenon: That gratification is demanded endlessly and indivualized. That gratification is immediate without complexities and preferably automated. This is more about the creation of a disposition -One that with the alarming changes in cognitive and sensory experience, are creating a compulsive personal psychology that can already be felt throughout contemporary culture. ADD is already one part. Pleasure deficit disorder (PDD) will soon be common.
