Jerome Corsi Says ‘Sex Is Not About Fun’

[47of74]

From LiberalAmerica.org;

Oh boy. How would you like to be married to this butt-clown? If the faces of the folks in the audience are any indication, their own women (and for sure not their men) can’t even get on board with the GOP and Tea Party stance that “sex is not about fun.” Yes, World Net Daily contributor and Tea-Nut activist Jerome Corsi really did say that at a conservative event in Oregon in early August. In those exact words. He elaborated.

"Sex is about the pro-creation of children. It’s a sacred responsibility and is meant by God for men and women to commit their lifetime to children."

Because so many people are lined up to pro-create with this dude, eh? I’ll bet it’s his wife who worked to get him to this paradigm….

Corsi even hinted that the Founding Fathers may have foreseen same-sex marriage and worked a protection against equality into the Constitution.

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Corsi is crazy-pants...

[Vanje]

48. Crazy Pants, yes. Mr Fun-Pants? Apparently not. nt

[randome]

2. Oh, Jerome...

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[Turbineguy]

3. In his case,

probably so.

[HooptieWagon]

4. He probably knows...his partners keep telling him that.

[47of74]

6. No doubt

[Link Speed]

11. "Gee, they never even bark."

They just walk away with their tails between their legs.

[47of74]

62. Yikes

[Supersedeas]

64. Ouch!

[gopiscrap]

5. OMG how about emotional bonding, release and plain old

getting to deeply know one another!!!! and FUN!!!!

[tarheelsunc]

7. It's usually the holier-than-thou jerks like this who are the first to commit adultery. eom

[NJCher]

18. or diddle little girls or boys

Jerome Corsi is a holier than thou Catholic, which is probably the source of his nutty statement.

Practically every book he has written has been fact checked and found to be ridden with inaccuracies, outright falsehoods, and misrepresentations.

He even wrote a book with Kenneth Blackwell! You remember him, of course--the Ohio secretary of state who helped bush steal the election.

He called Martin Luther King a "shakedown artist."

Any medium that has this nut case on as a commentator is bottom of the barrel.


Cher

[PDJane]

8. Um. well, you know, the whole idea of getting pleasure from sex was so that men and women

would bond...and look after the children. It's not an exclusive thing, since sexuality lasts a lifetime.

[liberal N proud]

9. I would ask morons like this one thing

If it is not for pleasure, why did god make it feel so good?

What an idiot.

[NuclearDem]

10. Then he's doing it wrong.

If my days were spent using a gun to jerk off to pictures of Ayn Rand I'd hate sex too.

[NJCher]

20. --

[hrmjustin]

21. LMFAO!!!

[winter is coming]

33. DUZY! n/t

[longship]

12. In other words, it's all about fun for Corsi!

This is one of those typical hypocrisy moments. The dude is in denial. Just like Ted Haggard saying he's not gay.

That's the only way the equation balances.

[Taverner]

13. Seriously, this way of thinking needs to be abolished

[BeyondGeography]

14. Oh for the love of Bo Diddley

[Benton D Struckcheon]

15. This reminds me of an excellent survey done way back when...

...by the Village Voice, asking folks if they would rather go without sex, or without laughter.
The responses were pretty funny, of course. The only two I remember are: "Laughter, because without it we'd all be sad fucks", and the last: they found some guy in the Reading Room of the main NY Public Library, looking, they said, like he'd just returned from a long trip to Alaska. "Eskimos", he said, "would not understand your question, because in their language, sex is described by a word that also means 'to laugh together'".

So there.

[Solly Mack]

16. He's had 2 wives and only 1 child.

Just saying.

[Squinch]

17. Well, clearly having sex with him isn't.

[RainDog]

19. if he's involved, I'd have to agree

sex would be no fun.

it would be more like torture.

but, if you're with someone you love... he can shut the fuck up about the purpose of sex because no one invited him to a panty sniffing party.

[Dawson Leery]

22. Unless it's Mark Sanford, David Vitter, or any other right winger.

[47of74]

35. Or Senator Tappy Toes McWidestance.

Who loves his wife.

[struggle4progress]

23. Bertrand, Lord Russell, once provided some advice which might be useful here:

... I had plunged into a river in the hopes of getting cool. When I emerged, I found a grave and reverend old man standing beside my clothes. While I was getting dry, he revealed the purpose of his presence. 'You,' he said, 'in common with the rest of our nation, probably entertain the vulgar error that the English are the lost Ten Tribes. This is not the case. We are only the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.' His arguments were overwhelming, and I could not escape them as I had to put on my clothes ... Nowadays when I meet the Ephraim-and-Manasseh devotees, I say, 'I don't think you've got it quite right. I think the English are Ephraim and the Scotch are Manasseh.' On this basis, a pleasant and inconclusive argument becomes possible. In like manner, I counter the devotees of the Great Pyramid by adoration of the Sphinx; and the devotees of nuts, by pointing out that hazel-nuts and walnuts are just as deleterious as other foods and only Brazil nuts should be tolerated by the faithful. But when I was younger, I had not yet acquired this technique, with the result that my contacts with cranks were sometimes alarming ...

Following this theory of the late Lord Russell, one should search for an appropriately crankish response, whenever one actually needs to respond to a crank. For such a response to the lunatic Corsi, perhaps a quote from Wilhelm Reich would fit:

... Fascist mysticism is orgastic longing under the conditions of mystification and inhibition of natural sexuality ...
The mass psychology of fascism
Wilhelm Reich, 1933

[Kurska]

24. The last line is the best.

Let me get this straight

The founding fathers predicted a social debate 200 something odd years in the future, yet it was cyrptic enough that it took this clown to finally find it.

But they couldn't predict that slavery, which was an actual social issue of the time, would plunge their country into it's bloodiest war less than 100 years later.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

[kestrel91316]

25. Keep your church and your nose out of my bedroom, you

panty-sniffing freak.

[Skittles]

27. I bet that guy is a supreme pervert

what's with these folk who are obsessed with the sex lives of others?

[kestrel91316]

30. He's probably had a dozen different ladies on the side and paid

for two dozen abortions between them. And has a few men friends on the side, too. Maybe even boy toys.

And I'm not joking.

[Skittles]

31. they are always hypocrites

yes INDEED

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I'm sure sex with Jerome Corsi is not about fun.

[47of74]

34. As with most extreme reich wingers...

...it's more about ensuring the continuation of the master race than anything else.

[sammytko]

28. Had to look him up - today is his birthday!

Why does he look like he's holding back a burp?

[NaturalHigh]

29. I will never understand why so many people think sex is dirty.

Yes, sex is about procreation for some. It's also about pleasure for most.

I've never read in the Bible that sex is wrong unless kids are produced.

[msanthrope]

32. Poor Mrs. Corsi....nt

[Matariki]

36. What do you mean by this?

"I’ll bet it’s his wife who worked to get him to this paradigm" ???

[Fawke Em]

63. Probably because he looks like this:

Can you blame her for not wanted to have sex with him?

He almost out-turtles McConnell.

[tiffany_willis]

37. Thank you for sharing our article!

And I'm glad you enjoyed.

[47of74]

47. NP

[Douglas Carpenter]

38. I couldn't agree more. It is about duty and honor and should be approached solemnly -

focused solely on completing the dreadfully serious task as efficiently and efficaciously as possible.

[B Calm]

39. I bet he cries in pain every time he masturbates. . .

[47of74]

40. Thanks for that mental image.

[theHandpuppet]

41. I'll bet Corsi's wife says that, too

When referring to him.

[no_hypocrisy]

42. That's not what my high school sex ed teacher taught us almost 40 years ago.

Day One he said that he knew half of us in class were already engaging and that he agreed that sex was fun. He just wanted to make sure all of us were careful in avoiding STDs and unplanned pregnancies.

Loved that guy.

[arely staircase]

43. Note to self

don't have sex with Jerome Corsi.

[47of74]

46. Why would you want to?

[hobbit709]

44. In his case, it probably wasn't.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

59. ^^^ Winner ^^^

I am reminded of the line from Wargames.

[Tom Ripley]

45. Is that why he cries during sex?

[fadedrose]

49. It could be worse

He could have suggested that clitorises be cut off baby girls, so that at least half the parties won't have fun....better than nothin'.

[ck4829]

50. Fun is something that was created by the LIBERAL media according to Corsi and his allies

1. Be born
2. Work for your wealthy overlords
3. Reproduce to make sure there are children who can keep doing #2 into the foreseeable future
4. Die.

That's what they want for 99% of the population. Period.

[last1standing]

51. Then he's doing it wrong.

n/t

[Half-Century Man]

52. Jerome Corsi is so dull

His hand goes to sleep when he tries masturbate.

[MADem]

53. He's plainly doing it wrong, then! nt

[madokie]

54. It probably isn't for his partner

if its other than rosey palm and her four sisters that is

[Baitball Blogger]

55. Who falls for this shit?

It sounds like another male con job that conservative men use to force themselves on their reluctant wives.

[pokerfan]

56. Contraception is "contra God"

Stephen Colbert said it best: "Sex isn’t two drunk strangers getting their freak on at closing time. It is the mystical union of two people inspired to create new physical life while God adds a soul in a divine and ineffably beautiful three way. So when you use contraception, you are not only sining, you are cock blocking the Almighty! I’ve got God’s back on this one.”

[edhopper]

57. I am not making a statemnet about all religion

But as a subset, this type of thinking is all about religion, one of the more fucked up consequences of religion.

And it should be attacked at the religious basis.

People have the right to believe whatever they wish, but they are not free of people questioning those beliefs.

[Art_from_Ark]

65. That kind of attitude is not limited to religious dogma

For example, it seems to be the prevailing attitude here in Japan, which is not a particularly religious society: "OK, buster, we've met our baby quota, so from now on it's separate beds".

[edhopper]

67. But are they saying sex is bad?

or sex in marriage isn't necessary? Do the people have sex with other people/

Here in the US, Corsi's attitude is pretty much exclusively religious.

[Art_from_Ark]

69. The prevailing attitude seems to be

(at least among women) that sex isn't necessary after the parents decide they've had enough kids.

But... there are lots of Japanese web sites that can arrange for rendezvous between men and young ladies, and there are red light districts around certain (but not all) train stations, as well as plenty of no-tell motels (known as "love hotels" in Japan).

[edhopper]

70. Thanks

A little different from the "all sex is sin" idea that some Christians hold. Of course it often turns out these Christians are "sinning" like there is no tomorrow.

[Art_from_Ark]

72. To paraphrase Winston Churchill:

Attitudes towards sex in Japan are an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped inside a mystery.

On the one hand, there are quite a few video stores that carry hundreds, if not thousands, of adult-oriented DVDs, but nearly all of them are censored, with strategic body parts covered up or blurred with "mosaics". Comic books that aren't expressly oriented towards younger kids often contain sexual scenes and themes, and there are plenty of girlie magazines on the racks of convenience stores.

However, Japanese TV has become quite tame in the past 30 years. Up until about 1999 or so, some late night TV programs would show women stripping everything off (with the pelvic area blurred out), or maybe women rubbing their naked breasts and saying, "Ummm, that feels so good". And sometimes American R movies would be shown on daytime TV uncensored except for the occasional blurring of an exposed pelvic area. But it seems that has all been replaced by one boring talk show after another.

Then there are the regular motels. If you get a room for a married couple at a "legitimate" motel, chances are you'll get two small, separate beds. When the local university unveiled its new housing complex for married students, it was met by complaints of bedrooms that seemed to have been modeled after some old '50s movie-- two small beds, and a nightstand in the middle.

And it wasn't too long ago that the only legally available birth control in Japan was the condom. For a long time, the Japanese government refused to allow legal access to The Pill on the grounds that it would "encourage promiscuity among young women". Today, 14 years after The Pill was finally legalized, it still does not seem to be too popular outside of the sex industry, because of concerns about possible adverse effects down the road, and because of fears among women that their doctor/druggist, etc., might think of them as promiscuous if they get a prescription.

[edhopper]

73. I am also fascinated

by animated Japanese porn. Not the cartoons themselves, but the very fact of their existence. In America i think a porn company rents a place and in a day or two shoot a movie with the actors. There may be a script but their isn't a lot of pre or post production. But knowing what it takes to make an animated movie, I find the whole the amount of work need to make an animated porn amazes me.

This isn't an endorsement of porn, animated or otherwise, just an observation that I somehow find interesting.

[Art_from_Ark]

75. Those kinds of cartoons are called "hentai" in Japanese,

or simply "H" in polite company, usually said with a tone of disgust by females to imply "How can you even THINK of such a dirty thing?"

[edhopper]

79. And yet it seems to be

a pretty sizable industry.

Like porn in this country is very big in some of the most conservative States like Utah.

[Art_from_Ark]

81. I couldn't say what proportion of Japanese women is sincerely disgusted,

and what proportion is merely feigning indignation (for the sake of appearance), but I would guess that by far the largest market for that sort of thing would be 15- to 30-year-old males.

[edhopper]

83. Probably true

of most porn.

[47of74]

84. Going across I-70 in Missouri

I was a bit surprised in rural Missouri how it seemed there was "adult entertainment" at just about every other exit.

[Art_from_Ark]

89. I had a similar impression going through North Carolina

back in 1980.

[wandy]

58. Yup, just like we used to say when we was kids. People who carry on bout sex that way.......

probably ain't getting any.

[47of74]

61. Someone should tell him not to knock it...

...at least until he's tried it.

[Gothmog]

60. Jerome Corsi is an idiot

Why would anyone listen to this idiot on anything?

[Hekate]

66. The Goddess says that Corsi is a deluded blasphemer, and is to be pitied.

But not slept with.

[treestar]

68. He ought to at least realize that other people find it fun

It's not like our society is quiet on the subject.

[Stinky The Clown]

71. Jerome needs to widen his dating pool beyond Ima Hand and her five daughters.

[Iggo]

77. Rosie Palm and her five sisters.

[Stinky The Clown]

78. Rosie is Ima's daughter. One of five.

[LeftinOH]

74. He left out the "with me" part of his statement. n/t

[Iggo]

76. Jerome Corsi ain't doin' it right.

[joeybee12]

80. Sounds like the nuns who taught at my school...

Yup, this is pretty much the Catholic Church also.

[hatrack]

82. From the guy who brought us Slimebarge Liars for Bush and "abiotic oil" . . .

I'd say it's not about fun for him, and certainly not about fun for his putative partners.

[HughBeaumont]

85. You know,

. . . . because a discredited birther and hyper-right-wing racist liar who looks like he has a serious blood pressure problem is who YOU want to be listening to when it comes to sex and morals.

Speaking for all of thinking Cleveland, I apologize for our city having shat him out . . .

[47of74]

86. You think that's bad?

I'm from Iowa, birthplace of Michele Bachmann and Steve King.

[Rex]

87. Wow what a nice guy.

Easy jokes are too easy.

[krispos42]

88. I'm sure that's what his wife tells him. n/t
