pictures and videos of female flesh
have become quite common
throughout the world
courtesy: internet
commercial and personal videos of sexual activities
are a mouse-click away
even electronic stores, like Fry’s
have porn magazines staring at you
in the payment lines
men will gradually lose the fantasy power
which is used to get in the action mode
in this atmosphere
more boldness on part of celebrities and stars
is but a natural outcome
but they do it in style,
they go “commando,” i.e., venturing out without undies
like a True Scotsman
no panty is fine
wearing mini is fine
to sit in such an attire is fine too
but then any physical movement is a No No
and yet Yana Gupta shifted
allowing people a glimpse of the garden of Eden
either it was an accidental mistake
which we’re prone to
and so it’s OK
or she was making a statement:
a) revolt against panties
b) comfort comes first
c) free publicity
d) I don’t care
e) all of the above
she laughed it off:
now I’ll be known as a “no-panty girl”
she is not the first one:
Christina Aguilera did it in 2007
in the tradition of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan
India’s Shamita Shetty & Preeti Jhangiani
had their moments
US filmmaker Alexandra Kerry
and Liz Hurley had thier bra-less moments
the personal sex tapes are out there too
internet have tapes of celebrities and commoners
US celebrity Paris Hilton
had her moments and also an intimate video
Indonesian pop singer Nazril Irham or Ariel
and top model and actress Luna Maya
were in the news last June for their video
PETA has its way of promoting vegetarianism
to empower women, DJ Jenny D posed nude
gradually, the fancy element wore off
men wanted the imagination factor back
but how to regain it?
Islamic sites, which were once popular
had by then lost very many viewers
got a sudden boost
men in colorful mood started visiting Islamic sites
to see women in burqas, stylish headscarves, swimsuits, …
in order to reignite the lost power of fantasy
