 Welcome to the show. This week we talk about the death of the nude beach, seeing the softer side of Sears- Alan Sears, which may explain why he is always so angry- he never gets hard. Yet another hypocritical political sex scandal.  A final assessment of Bush’s utterly failed sex policies. A strange storm brewing over porn star Stormy Daniels’ political ambitions. Plus one very brave woman risking 40 lashes to stand up for other women when she could have walked away free and clear. In entertainment news, a contest for booth babe groping, a group calls for more nudity in video games, sexy wine banned in Alabama, porn star Terra Patrick tells all, the successful ban on abortion on television, and Ricky Berens buns. Finally, we have one of our more controversial interviews- we spend a few minutes talking with Satan. All this week on the Jeff Booth Show.

Politics

I love nude beaches. There is nothing like lying nude in the sun listening to the waves and smelling the salt air. In California, with some of the nation’s best beaches, nude beaches may be a thing of the past. Not that there were many left. San Diego, San Luis Obispo, and the beach at San Onofre. The latest setback is the state Court of Appeals decision in the case of Naturist Action Committee v. California State Department of Parks & Recreation, filed on July 17, which overturns a directive which Russell W. Cahill, the Parks Department director, issued in 1979- essentially closing the nude beach at San Onofre. That directive kept traditional nude beaches open by essentially dictating that unless there was a problem, they would leave the traditional nude beaches alone. Sec. 4322 of the California Code of Regulations states that, "No person shall appear nude while in any unit [of the state parks system] except in authorized areas set aside for that purpose by the Department." The trick is that the department never officially set any beaches aside for nude sunbathers. And guess what? Looks like they never will- so the few traditional nude state beaches are now officially closed, with a $500 fine to anyone violating the law.  It has always been the same- the prudes complain that nude beaches promote sexual activity, but nudists oppose sexual activity on their beaches, so what do the cops do? Arrest the nudists. Why? Because any sexual activity does not take place openly on nude beaches- it takes place in remote areas and not necessarily by nudists. Typically out of the way and difficult to get to, these nude beaches may well become ghost towns- unusable by the nudists who have been banned, and uninteresting to everyone else. Way to manage California’s resources Parks and Rec.

From Alliance Defense Fund’s Alan Sears in a letter requesting a meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder: “Pornography addiction is now common among men, women, and even many children. Children are creating cell phone child pornography, in a new trend called, 'sexting.' Pornography use is now a significant factor in divorce. Hotels. motels, cable and satellite companies, and other businesses are making tremendous profits by offering illegal, obscene pornography. America is becoming a 'pornified culture,' as author and Time magazine writer Pamela Paul has stated." SO what can we deduce from this message? How about that Americans’ love their porn, and you’ll have to pry it from their cold dead fingers? And by the way, Allan, who used to work for Ed Meese in the Justice Department going after porn and should know better- no hotels are showing illegal porn. A porn film only becomes illegal after a court obscenity trial. Until a jury finds it illegal- it is protected speech under the First Amendment. And because of the community standards used in these cases, that finding only applies to the community and jurisdiction the trial took place in.  And children are not creating cell phone child porn. That is a gross distortion. Most of it involves teens sending snapshots of partial nudity, it very rarely is sexually explicit, and its intended for their peers- typically the person who has already seen them naked. Sorry Allan, but teens are going to be sexually active and explore their sexuality in a variety of ways- often involving the latest technology. You remember how the introduction of the automobile revolutionized sex in your teen years?     

SO what exactly are the ground rules for resigning political office after turning out to be a complete hypocrite as a family values politician who is cheating on his wife? Ensign, Vitter, and Sanford are holding tight in the Senate. I guess there is more pressure at the state level. Paul Stanley, state Republican Senator in Tennessee has resigned his office. The chubby grey-haired Stanley was banging a 22 year old intern less than half his age. Her boyfriend was trying to extort him for $10,000. He couldn’t hit on a single intern? Or was that the setup from the beginning and she was in on the extortion plot? The boy friend had explicit photos that Stanley had taken. Didn’t Stanley realize the hazards of sexting? Conservative family values politician Stanley introduced a bill to ban gay couples from adopting, and regularly attacked Planned Parenthood because he believed single people shouldn’t have sex. Apparently unless it was with him.

Despite former President Bush’s claim that he was doing a lot to fight AIDS, his administration constantly sabotaged those efforts- despite spending huge amounts of money. A lot of money went to extremist right-wing organizations including Concerned Women for America, whose agenda was less about preventing AIDS than it was about promoting their unrealistic abstinence only anti-sex view of the world. Health officials consider the Bush years a total failure in the fight against AIDS despite a large investment of taxpayer money. One of the more egregious things they did was deny funding to any organization that provided education or health resources to prostitutes- even if prostitution was legal- and even if those services were paid for with private funds. Under Bush, all prostitution was rebranded as human trafficking, something that has a very different legal meaning and generally infers people being forced against their will. The administration considered helping prostitutes not die as a promotion of prostitution. Never mind the fact that this is a segment of the population you really want to target if you want to reduce the spread of AIDS. In Bangladesh alone, 20 drop-in centers were closed because they also offered health services to prostitutes, some of the most at risk and vulnerable women in the country. President Obama has gotten rid of the imbecilic global gag rule that forbid any funding to organizations that even mentioned the word abortion. And now, the Department of Justice has dropped an appeal of a court injunction prohibiting enforcement of the "anti prostitution pledge" under U.S. Global AIDS Policy.  This means that the policy is officially rescinded. It looks like under Obama we might actually get serious about fighting AIDS.

The stench of complete failure seems to be the hallmark of the Bush years. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control shows that years of falling rates of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease infections under previous administrations were reversed or stalled in the Bush years. Birth rates among teenagers aged 15 or older had been in decline since 1991 but are up sharply in more than half of American states since 2005. The study also showed that the number of teenage females with syphilis has risen by nearly half after a significant decrease, and a two-decade fall in the gonorrhea infection rate was reversed. The number of AIDS cases in adolescent boys has nearly doubled. Southern states, where there is the greatest emphasis on abstinence and religion, tend to have the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and STDs. In a statement from Janet Collins, a CDC director, she said “It is disheartening that after years of improvement with respect to teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, we now see signs that progress is stalling and many of these trends are going in the wrong direction." The huge amounts of money used to fund abstinence only education have done just the opposite of what was intended, which comes as no surprise to anyone who actually understands human sexuality. Teaching kids lies, fear, and ignorance, not surprisingly, was a total and complete failure.

For all those morons who claim to not vote because there is no difference between the two parties- turns out elections can make a difference. Congress overwhelmingly defeated (by a vote of 247 – 183) the Pence amendment to H.R. 3293, the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill. The amendment, if passed, would have denied family planning services to millions of women, men and teens by restricting Title X federal family planning funds from going to Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers. Last year things might have gone a little differently. 

As if the notion of porn star Stormy Daniels taking on Republican serial whoremonger David Vitter for the Senate was not strange enough, now her chief campaign advisor has had a bomb placed in his car, which did what bombs do- it exploded. Fortunately,  no one was in the car at the time. And right after that, Stormy Daniels was arrested- for domestic violence. She allegedly hit her husband. What is this country coming to when you can’t even find real family values in our porn stars?

Regular listeners know I am a big fan of Rachel Maddow. This last week, Lou Dobbs attacked her calling her a “tea-bagging queen.” This supposedly because of her criticisms of his promoting the Obama is a foreign born illegal president theme. On her show, she rightly pointed out that she doubted she was the proper gender to be considered a tea-bagging queen.

A woman journalist in Sudan faces 40 lashes of the whip for wearing pants. In protest, she showed up in court wearing the same pants. She voluntarily waived her United Nations Mission in Sudan immunity, telling the courtroom, "I wish to resign from the UN, I wish this court case to continue." Ten other women who were arrested with her have already been flogged. Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein is putting herself at risk to fight for the rights of women and against a law she calls inhuman. So what are we as a nation doing to fight for the rights of women in these barbaric countries? Not nearly enough.

Entertainment

I like booth babes- the scantily clad women who appear in some of the booths at Comic Con and who used to appear at the big computer game show E3 until they were banned. And because I like them, I think Electronic Arts contest was a terrible idea. Sure, these women have to deal with the likes of comic book guy, and hundreds of other guys who have had limited interaction with real live women. SO a contest dubbed Sin to Win encouraging them to commit acts of lust and take their photo with a booth babe and submit it to win the contest is not a good idea. The winner got a “a sinful night with two hot girls, a limo service, paparazzi and a chest full of booty. SO now you have two poor women sitting in a car while the guy shows off his limited edition Spiderman figurine and the rare X-Men comic the managed to find while trying to figure out a way to grab their boobs that won’t get him hit in the head. The losers of this contest were the poor women working the booth and then winding up being the prize. You have to give these guys some specific boundaries. This actual interaction with women thing is new to them. EA apologized that their intentions were misunderstand and they didn’t really mean to hook out their booth employees.

The video game industry in the U.S. has been long on violence and short on sex since the beginning. Some companies have tried to introduce a little sex- notably Bioware, which introduced a little sexuality into its popular Mass Affect game. Now they are publicly ruminating about whether to include full frontal nudity in their upcoming Dragon Age: Origins. Here is the report from the ESRB games ratings board which looked at the soon to be released game- "Players can also initiate brief cutscene sequences in which couples (male and female or same sex couples) can be depicted kissing, embracing, and caressing one another as the screen fades to black. During the course of the game, players are able to visit a brothel where a hostess asks what they are interested in. If players select ‘Surprise me,’ they can sometimes wind up face-to-face with a woman, a man, a transsexual, or an animal; sexual activity is never depicted during these brothel encounters. Though the game never features human nudity, one female demon character is briefly depicted with bare breasts. Some profanity (e.g., "sh*t," "b*tch," and "a*s") can be heard in the dialogue." SO the hype from Bioware is really about a naked demon. For full frontal- humans need not apply. If gamers see a little animated nudity the next thing they’ll do is try and grope booth babes to win a threesome.

And while we are on the subject of nudity in video games, an organization has called for more topless women in games. What sexist group is this? Gotopless.org- a group that fights for women’s equality to go topless wherever men can. Last year we went to their Venice Beach protest, part of a series of national events to advocate for women’s right to go topless. The women wore just rubber pasties molded to look exactly like nipples. Perfectly legal, but from a short distance it was hard to tell that they were not completely topless. They will be having events around the country again this year on August 23rd in New York, Venice Beach, Chicago, Miami Beach, Columbus Ohio, Portland Oregon and Maui, Hawaii. We’ll be at the Venice Beach event, and hopefully this year we won’t have the competing Christian music group that played extra loud to try and drown out the pro-topless speeches.

Nudity and wine seem to be even more offensive to some than nudity and games. AT least in Alabama. State officials have banned Cycles Gladiator wine because the bottle depicts a nude woman from the side holding onto the handlebars of a flying bicycle. It is PG rated art nouveau nudity that was used originally in an 1895 ad for bicycles. 110 years later, the ad is too wild for Alabama, that has a law prohibiting “a person posed in an immoral or sensuous manner.” Which could describe almost anything. For Hahn Family Wines based in Soledad, California, the ban has meant a lot more web traffic and an expected increase in sales. Those sales will be from outside Alabama, of course. 

Tera Patrick has been a top model, a worldwide feature entertainer, entrepreneur, fashion designer, adult entertainment mogul and now, with Jenna Jameson vowing to never spread her legs for this industry again, the number one porn star in the world. Now available for pre-order and shipping in January, she tells the story of her life in her autobiography, Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love, Marriage, & Porn, from Gotham/Penguin. Sinner Takes All includes hot sex stories, funny anecdotes, embarrassing moments, an inside look at her marriage to rock star/actor turned porn star Evan Seinfeld, and a deeper peek at her childhood, as well as dozens of sexy photos, diary entries, and answers to her fans' burning questions. I’m guessing such as, why do I get this burning sensation every time I pee… and how do I get a porn star like you to marry me? (Hint: step one is to become a famous rock star or actor, or as with Evan Seinfeld- both.) Comedian Margaret Cho wrote the forward.

I’m not a big fan of Family Guy. A little too scattershot in their humor for my tastes. They do skewer everyone, though, and are not afraid to go wherever the humor takes them. But this time they went too far. They did an episode on a topic that both television and movies are too afraid to touch. Its as if it doesn’t exist any more. The topic? Abortion. And Fox has banned the episode. Abortion has almost disappeared from entertainment. When women get pregnant in movies or tv, they seem to have just two options- adoption or raise the child themselves. Unwed motherhood is especially big, even on a science fiction show like Eureka. And on Lost, even though having a child would kill her, and the fact that she had two doctors available and was still early, the option of abortion was never even mentioned by Sun or the doctors. She only had two options- get off the island or die. It again shows how successful the anti-choice fanatics have been in this country.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of man landing on the moon, I thought we might bring up this old urban legend. It’s not true, but has been circulated for years. Neil Armstrong was reported to have said, while walking on the moon, “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky”. Here is how the story goes- Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky  statement meant. On  July 5 in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26- year-old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question.  When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.  As he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex?  Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

And in who is getting naked now, first up is U.S. swimmer Ricky Berens. Not intentionally, though, and while he was competing at the World Swimming Championships in Rome. There has been a lot of talk about the new swimsuits for competitive swimmers that give them an edge with high tech materials and design. This particular suit seemed to have slightly flawed design, as when he stretched before diving in the entire back side split, giving the crowd an excellent view of his physique and well toned buttocks muscles. I imagine not a few in the crowd mused that maybe going back to the original Olympics tradition of competing in the nude is not such a bad idea.

Interview

J: In this case I think it appropriate to point out that we don’t endorse the opinions of our guests- we just want to provide a variety of opinions and maybe challenge some of the ones we find objectionable. Which brings us to this week’s guest- prince of darkness, Satan.

S: Its good to be here Jeff. You had that Coca-Cola swilling do-gooder Santa on your show, so I think its about time you had a little balance.

J: I don’t really think of it is as balance Satan. There is a lot more than just an anagram’s worth of difference between you. I’m pretty much a fan of Santa, and you, there are a lot of things that make me uncomfortable and that I find disturbing.

S: I do try.

J: This is a show about sex, so let’s get right into that topic. You told me off air that you believe you are very misunderstood when it comes to your opinions about sex.

S:  Yes. And it, so to speak, bugs the hell out of me. Except under specific circumstances, I am not a big fan of sex. It bonds people together, it feels good, it makes families, it makes people happy. I find it disgusting.

J: SO let me throw some terms at you and get a response. Birth control.

S: Hate it. There is nothing I can do about people enjoying sex, but at least they should have to pay a penalty for their enjoyment. At least women should. As a guy myself, you may have noticed I tend to direct my evil more towards women. I admit a little bias there.

J: Orgies.

S: Unless someone is hurt or forced, I am no fan of orgies. It’s a lot of people getting together and making each other feel good. Not down with that.

J: SM

S: People finding a way to enjoy pain- its just wrong. A total perversion. I’d like to show them what pain should really be about. It’s a complete distortion of one of my favorite things. It offends me.

J: Sex education.

S: I am no fan of education in general. But teaching people stuff that’s not true and makes them fearful- love it. SO big red thumbs up for abstinence only education.

J: Nudism.

S: It burns me up that people give Him credit for the body shame thing. That one is mine. When you are ashamed of your own naked body, it is much more difficult to enjoy sex and be uninhibited. So body shame is a big plus for me. Nudists are an abomination. No one should be that comfortable in their own skin.

J: The Priest Child Sex Scandal.

S: A win-win all around. The abuse, the facilitation, and the cover-up – a trifecta of delightful evil. Plus it wound up encouraging a lot of devout believers to fall away from God. It couldn’t be more perfect. And I love that men who have sex with little boys who can’t get pregnant are telling women not to use birth control. It brings tears of joy to my eyes.

J: Homosexuality

S: One of my greatest achievements of the late 20th century. Oh, I didn’t invent the gay thing. He did. But it goes to the core of one of my greatest long term accomplishments- getting people to hate other people because of who those people love. It is delicious irony.  I inspire people to completely misunderstand the Bible and use it as an excuse to hate people over love. Genius. And now, the hate is directed at people wanting to marry the person they love- I have moved it even beyond just hating and being fearful of the gay sex thing- now it specifically targets love. Pure gold.

For example, did you catch the two faggots arrested in Salt Lake City because one gave another a kiss on the check? And in a public square that is basically owned by the Mormon Church. Mormon’s, Catholics and Baptists are at the top of my list of Western religions that wind up doing a lot of good work for me.  From Mathew Shepard to the recent shooting in Israel at a gay youth center- hating and even killing people because of whom they love and are sexually attracted to is absolutely delightful.

J: Abortion.

S: As with homosexual hatred, I am a huge fan of irony. The anti-abortion movement is one of my favs. You’d think I’d be all for it, what with the claims by anti-abortion people that it causes great psychological trauma to women. If only that were true. Sadly, studies show that women are just fine after an abortion. I always have to go with what causes the greater  harm, and clearly, forcing women to give birth is much worse. SO I am anti-abortion, but very pro anti-abortion advocates. They encourage the hatred and control of women, they universally despise birth control, they encourage followers to kill people in the name of saving the unborn, and they combine anger with scientific illiteracy. Bills to give human zygotes full citizenship rights- even if those rights take precedence over a woman’s life. Wonderful.  They have no clue about the difference between abortions and birth control.  And as with homosexuality, they hate and kill in the name of God. It tickles me red.

J: I have to be honest with you. I find you completely repugnant and horrible.

S: Yes, true. But I do have my softer side. I love LOL Cats. It makes me laugh my pointy tail off.

J: That doesn’t really redeem you.

S: Kind of the point, Jeff. I am the last one looking for redemption. The amazing thing is how many people who claim to be redeemed are the very ones doing my work for me.

J: That’s a sad testament.

S: But to me, it’s a much better testament than the new testament. Fortunately, lots of people never bother to read or really understand it. And for me and my goals, that is a saving grace.

J: Thanks for talking with us.

S: Thanks. I had a hell of a time.
