You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love.
If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.
I try not to hate. Really I do. But every once in a while, I hate so hard. And I think the people I may hate most, the people I hate hardest, are the people out there who tell the New York Post how outraged and disgusted they are. It's always sex they're outraged and disgusted by, which, of course, none of the vestal virgins who own, edit, write for, or read the New York Post has ever had.
The New York Post, a paper that covers a city that's famously licentious, what do they think people are doing when they're not sleeping in the city that never sleeps? The New York Post has such a problem with sex. Oh, man, I have... long hated the Post for the way it attacks and sometimes outs pro-doms.
And I'm going to crawl out on a limb here and guess that someone in the C-suite at News Corp, the Murdoch company that owns Post and Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, someone at News Corp has patronized a pro-dom at least once this week in New York City. Anyway, here's the headline from the New York Post this weekend that has me all exercised.
Homeless couple filmed having sex in parking lot under NYC's FDR Drive. The paper anonymously quotes the aghast 34-year-old local who witnessed the shocking sight, saying, "...a couple having sexual intercourse on the sidewalk was a new low for the city." That quote made it into the headline. Two people fucking outside. A new low for the city. You know what I think is a new low?
The new high reported earlier this summer. The new high in the number of people living on the streets in New York City. So about this shocked and aghast local, he wasn't so shocked, he wasn't so aghast that he was paralyzed. He was able to pull out his cell phone and start recording a video from his window.
Three videos, in fact, that he sent to the New York Post, which published them on their website. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but what this guy did, who I'm guessing actually isn't a local, not a born and bred New Yorker, I'm guessing what he did... violates New York's revenge porn law, which prohibits the distribution of intimate images without the consent of the people in them.
Now, people fucking in public don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, a legal standard that allows news organizations and individuals to take pictures of people in public. But it would be an interesting test case. Revenge porn statutes punish people who distribute sexual images with the intent to do harm. They want to get their ex fired or ruin their ex's relationship with their parents.
