Porno Movies - Do you or Don't you?

Porn... sexy movies... porno... warm ups... evil incarnate... or giggle fits?

Everyone has an opinion on movies featuring sex. Yes, I'm talking about those bad movies with the ever-recognizable grinding music, no plot, and SEX.

Do you watch it? Is it your dirty little secret? Or is it something that only those with dirty minds and no imagination watch? Whatever your opinion, most people have one.

Well, as I was flipping through channels the other night, and ran across something on late night tv (the kind rated MA on the movie channels), I found an amusing new use for porno movies--LAUGHTER!

Let me set the scene for you:

With four children (three under 10 yrs old), romantic times are sometimes hard to find, unless it's after midnight or even later. However, one night a few days ago, the stars aligned, the planets were rotating the right way--whatever. The kids were asleep and it was time to make my move!

But while everything looked rosy for a romantic interlude, I just wasn't quite in the mood, so to speak. So I flipped through the channels on the TV and lo and behold, I found PORNO! So my finger hesitated over the remote, and I saw this muscular, naked man take a slim, beautiful woman in his arms and ravage her...

OK, this might work. My interest piqued, I watched some more. So the acting was horrible, and the lines even worse. The music was annoying and the kids were asleep. So I turned the sound all the way down. After all, I wasn't watching it for the acting.

I nudged my husband to get his attention, and he looked at the tv, silently putting his book down as we watched and snuggled a little. Then I opened my mouth, and started putting my own dialogue into the character's mouths. Funny dialogue (the ever-present curse of being a writer, I suppose) and corny phrases started popping out of these slim, impossibly acrobatic people as they 'did the dirty deed' and my husband and I, rather than getting more in the mood for love, were laughing so hard we could hardly breathe!

Never underestimate the power of laughter. Did I eventually take advantage of the poor man beside me? The one laughing hysterically at the words I was putting into the actors mouths? Of course, I'm not an idiot! How often do I get the kids all to sleep early enough that I'm not falling asleep myself?

You know the old saying: Laughter is the best medicine. Well, sometimes, it can be a wonderfully fun and powerful aphrodesiac as well.

Yes, I'm strange. I'm an author. It's expected.

Have a great day, and the next time you run across one of those 'forbidden movies' late at night, turn the sound all the way down and try adding your own dialogue--you'll be amazed at how much fun you can have!
