Nestled in the clutter of Manhattan's late-night television fare is the ultimate in safe sex for the cable-ready: Voyeurvision, the nation's only live call-in tele-fantasy show. Four nights a week, Lynn Muscarella, the show's campy, vampy hostess, slithers over the sheets while encouraging her phone fans to flesh out their sexiest fantasies. Most, not surprisingly, involve her - which delights the Brooklyn-bred Muscarella. She jokes, teases, pouts, writhes - even blushes. "I'm your video game," she coos to a caller. "Tell me what you want." Delete the scoop?

During the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and the sex wars of the 1980s and 1990s, the struggle to define sex positivity with respect to sex work served a purpose. To say that not all people have a horrendous experience of the sex industry, and that many sex workers value sexuality and see themselves as complex sexual beings as well as sex educators was an important statement to make, and one that had not been spoken before. However, it is essential to put this statement in historical context. To continue making the statement that many sex workers have a good experience of the sex industry without also including those whose experiences are negative and making space for them to speak up reveals a deep doubt about the validity of the sex positive argument. If we believe in the positive power of sexuality, we must also examine what happens when people’s lives are infused with sex negativity, and we must listen and support people with this experience in sharing their personal truths.

KRISTEL, who formerly lived with Lovejoy star Ian McShane, scored fame with 70s soft porn Emmanuelle movies...
STAR of the ‘70s soft porn Emmanuelle movies Sylvia Kristel has died at the age of 60.
The Dutch-born actress passed away in her sleep last night after a ten-year battle with cancer.
Kristel starred in five Emmanuelle films between 1974 and 1993 and another six TV spin-offs.
The series of French-made erotic movies are famed for bringing soft- core pornography to mainstream cinema.
She also became famous for her steamy nude scenes in another 40 films, starring in the lead roles in X-rated versions of Lady Chatterley’s Lover and World War One spy drama Mata Hari.
She lived with Lovejoy star Ian McShane in the 1980s in LA but split after four years and moved to St Tropez in France.
Kristel had recently been released from hospital in Amsterdam after suffering a massive heart failure in July.

"In the 1970s, Americans were very much obsessed with sex — either scared out of their wits by the sudden hedonism or thrilled by the increasing disintegration of taboos essentially based on superstition." ---------
Curator comment: this is a brief review suggesting that "Klute" and "American Gigolo" were movies that "not only reflected but may also have helped bring about the cultural shift in America’s views of sexuality".
Source: Life, Death and Fog, observations by the mystery and crime fiction writer Ronald Tierney.

What may have begun as the vengeful opportunistic act of a lover scorned (deflowered and left to prostitution) is quickly shown to be more complicated, exposing more than unfinished business but unrequited feelings between the two. Via Deanna Dahlsad
