Purity culture and its Impurity

Image
          I have been watching anime since 1998, and I can honestly say that as a hardcore anime fan, this shit can get weird...like REALLY weird at times!  Take the 1998 OVA "Virgin Fleet", it is a series about these women who pilot fighter jets, but get this, they have a special power that allows them to pilot the jets!  Can you guess what that power is?  It's being a virgin; this anime says that women who are virgins have the ability to access great powers.  Now, I can go on a massively long rant about what does it mean to be a virgin and how penetrative sex is not the only kind of sex in the world......but that's a different argument!  Instead I want to talk about this whole purity thing and how it can cause more harm than good.          Throughout my entire life, I have went to religious schools, but by the time I got into junior high school, that's when the purity culture came into effect.  We were constantly told that we needed to save ourselves for marriag

The Sexual(and soceital) Rebellion!

          I don't know about you all but I am pretty excited and pumped for the remake of Ranma 1/2 coming out in October!  I mean this anime/manga series has an amazing story that must be shared with EVERYONE!  Now if you are familiar with this series you know the story, but lets say you have zero idea of what Ranma 1/2 is even about, allow me to explain!  You see that guy with the black hair?  That's Ranma Saotome, he is a skilled martial artist who is constantly pushing himself.  One day him and his father were doing some extreme training near cursed pools of water because why not!  Ranma gets knocked into a pool of water and is cursed, as a result anytime he is splashed with cold water, he becomes a woman(the one with the red hair), but if he is splashed with hot water he becomes a man again.        Yet despite the hilarity that comes with this series, even though Ranma will look like a woman, he doesn't change how he acts around people.  His appearance and genitalia ma

Cosplay as a form of exploration and expression!

          Yep, that's me from circa 2011 at Anime St. Louis!  This was the first time I wanted to cosplay, and let me say......I had no idea of what I was doing!  I mean seriously I don't even know what I was suppose to be!?  Like I had a wig, that red coat, and yeah....that's about it!  I seriously have no idea of what I was trying to go with......but the fact of the matter is little did I know, this was going to be the start of something very unique and euphoric for me gender wise.  I want to share with you my journey of my favorite cosplays, and let you in on my thoughts and feeling going into each one of these characters I dressed as.....except for that first picture here.....cause I literally had NO IDEA what I was thinking lol!  But, this is something I really do want to talk about.....no not whatever this cosplay was; I am talking about how cosplay is a form of exploration and expression.     Like I said, I had NO IDEA what or who was it I was trying to cosplay!  I m

 TW:  Sexual assault, harassment among other topics within that realm.  If you feel that tehre is a chance that you may be triggered or re-traumatized from the things that was just mentioned, just know you are under no obligations to read this post.  If you do choose to read, I will notify you with (TW ALERT) to let you know if a section is going to be talking more about it.  But like I said, no shame if this is too much for you!  You are OK!  Promise!     You know, I have a love/hate relationship with the anime Bleach.  I mean when I first watched it, I felt this was one of the best anime I have ever watched!  The lore, the Japanese culture, ALL of it was just sooooooooo GOOD!  However, the more I watched I gradually got annoyed.....and pissed because the focus was on the main character above the other characters.  I mean EVERYTHING kept coming back to the main character......even characters in which they were the focus, it was always back to Ichigo!!!!  ...look I can spend a LONG tim

What is Sex? Like Seriously WHAT is Sex?

     Like many I love Futurama!  It had a rough beginning, solid middle and an absolutely fantastic ending....until they decided to bring it back......but that's not the point!  In the season 3 episode " Where the Buggalo Roam" Kiff and Amy are laying on the ground making out, until they feel a rumble underneath them.  Amy says "What was that?!" and Kiff responds with "Maybe, we just made love?".  But it does not stop there, as at the end of the episode Amy embraces Kiff in a long kiss where there was another rumble of cow ladybugs running by because it's Futurama, and right after Kiff takes out his diary and writes the following:  "Dear Diary, I just made love for the second time!".  I'm not gonna lie that was so cute seeing him smile and feeling proud of himself!  However, to some people, they would not see what Kiff did as sex, which raises a really good question.  What is sex?  I am not talking philosophically what sex is, I am ta

Religious Sexual Repression part 1: The Friendly Demon!

 (TRIGGER WARNING:  Before going any further, this is going to talk about religion and some trauma associated with it.  If this is too much, you do NOT have to read this post, I know this can be a touchy subject for some, but no hate if you do not want to read this.)       Ok, so one day, I was on social media casually scrolling and procrastinating something I should be doing, until I saw this picture from Pizza Cake Comics!  My immediate reaction was laughing, I mean look at it, its funny!  Then I sat there for a good 10 minutes looking at this picture and laughed again saying "Holy shit.....this kinda became me"!  Then as I was driving to work while listening to music this comic kept popping up in my head making me think more about it, until I came to a realization; religion really did make me into a freaky person when it comes to sex!  Like seriously my kinks, interests as well as experiences were all because of religion; which is EXTREMELY weird to say, but I can explain
