Sex - Press - Release conjures many different images in our mind and the folks who make their living - or dying in the sex work industry are no different.Apropo title for a site that frankly discusses sex with educative and opinionated components.
I like the title because it encapsulates the act in my mind. As women we desire the intimate passion of "Sex" which leads to a "Press" - a need is reignited deep within our soul. We are seeking fulfillment. When we get it - the "Sex" we are set free "Release"d.
Sex Is About Release
Releasing endorphins, pressure, frustration. love. What sex was created for and how it should be used today has to be one in the same because we are one in the same. Though we have been infinitely recreated we are ulitmately one eternal creation. Our biology has not evolved beyond this mode. The chronological progression of time does not advance the biological logistical model. The soul that is intrinsically attached to our outer being has not morphed into a capacity for insouciance to keep up with the demands of society. My definition of Sex - Press - Release remains the employing agent. Body and soul are homogenous. Contrary to popular opinion our soul does not lapse into a coma while being betrayed by our bodies. The soul feels what the body experiences and the spirit defines.
Real Sex Is About Wholeness Not Hotness
"Hot Girls Wanted" is a groundbreaking Netflix-distributed documentary that focuses on the rising amateur online pornography sex industry as a whole while allowing us behind the scenes to meet the young women who comprise same. Wonder what these young 18 and 19 year-old's would think about the provocative title of this website. First it would transform to a mathematical equation Sex + Press (as in media) = (the Release of) Fame and Fortune. At their young age they cannot see the depth of what they are doing to their bodies, souls and spirits.
Why?
Rebel without a cause or pause status
In their own words these women tell us why they have made a choice to be cheaply filmed, (by ipad, cell or whatever is readily available) engaging in sex with strangers. This is teenage angst turned dangerous. One girl proclaims her "Rebel without a cause or pause status" boldly stating she turned to porn because she doesn't want to end up like her parents, "meeting in college, getting married and having kids". Similarly, another teen stresses that she just wanted out of her small town. The press to do something different is not unlike what teenage girls have felt for decades. Now they can turn a whim into a way, quickly. They get over $2400 cash in hand after one weeks work. The 2015 film won accolades at the Sundance Film Festival and presented the online porn industry without bias but rather rendered a factual account along with the tender screams from the stars that are exploited as fodder beneath this billion dollar industry.
Rougher Sex Sells Too
This is only the beginning of the dialogue. Male domination, sex work advocates are limbs on this monster that need to be explored.
A veteran girl laped up her own vomit at the direction of the cameraman/co-star because she had to join the niche market where rougher sex, bondage and the like are employed to keep the not - so -fresh faces viable. Can her soul and spirit stay viable amidst such betrayal? What are we doing to value our future women?
