Even so, why might liberal and progressive OEN readers be interested in Ong's media ecology account of our contemporary secondary oral culture? To answer this key question, I invoke here the key axiom that American politics is downstream from American culture. In plain English, the changes being wrought in American culture since, say, 1960 in American culture are the result of what Ong refers to as our secondary oral culture that is brought to us by communications media that accentuate sound (e.g., television, telephone, radio, movies with soundtracks, videos with soundtracks such as DVDs, tape-recording devices, CDs, podcasts, and the like).
Ah, but all of this is somewhat general, and American politics is understandably animated by more particular cultural concerns. Thus, when I write about Ong's work in my OEN articles, I try to bring Ong's thought to bear on a certain political issue of the day. Well, good for me. Good boy, Tom!
Now, in part, the present OEN review essay primarily about Comor's new 2025 book in media ecology is also a follow up to my last wide-ranging and, at times, deeply personal 12,900-word OEN article "Thomas J. Farrell's Further Reflections on His Life and Work" (dated May 2, 2025; viewed 521 times as of May 8, 2025), in which I mention the gorgeous American porn star Cory Chase by name 117 times:
Yes, I love Cory Chase's gorgeous body, and I also love her energetic performances in her many heterosexual porn videos that are available free on the internet and in her many DVDs. Of the Cory Chase DVDs that I own, I love watching her perform energetically in them on the big-screen television in the living room of my home in Duluth, Minnesota - the bigger image, the better to see her gorgeous body. In all of Cory Chase's porn videos, the camera work on her gorgeous body is always extraordinary.
When I characterize Cory Chase's performances as energetic, I mean that she expends great energy in her bodily movements - but I also intend to suggest that her freedom of bodily movement if impressive. Figuratively speaking, Cory's gorgeous body is all in, in each performance. She is in excellent physical condition, and her leg muscles are very strong - which she regularly shows in video after video when she squats astride the guy she is f*cking and vigorously bounces up and down vigorously with his co*k in her p*ssy. Cory Chase's gorgeous body is well toned. She is a talented sexual athlete whose agile and nimble sexual athleticism always makes her look like she is actively participating in whatever she is doing at any given moment - even when her p*ssy is being pumped by the guy's co*k in it. See stepmom Cory perform in the long dream sequence with stepson Rico and his dad in the movie To Die For (2024), for example.
Cory Chase is a seasoned sexual performer. Simply stated, Cory Chase is not a passive participant, but an active sexual performer. Good girl, Cory! Keep up the good work, Cory!
Now, in the present wide-ranging and, at times, deeply personal review essay, I once again discuss the gorgeous porn star Cory Chase as well as my relevant previous OEN articles about porn and also my previous OEN articles about the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity. Once again, I basically agree with the axiom that American politics is downstream from American culture, and I see porn that is available free on the internet and in DVDs as part of American culture today.
In the present OEN article, I dwell on porn videos that are available free on the internet. Wikipedia has an entry of "Internet pornography" which gives us a sense of the extent to which porn is available on the internet:
However, for my purposes in the present essay, I am interested in more than just the extent to which porn is available on the internet. Granted, what interests me about porn being available free on the internet is not just the extent to which it is viewed, but the extent to which it is influencing American culture and the sexual practices of Americans - not just the sexual practice of masturbation in accompaniment to watching porn on the intent. For example, when young boys and men of all ages watch exhibitionistic women get double penetrated and appear to enjoy being double penetrated, do those young boys and men of all ages then try to get the lady friends to engage in double penetration? Similarly, when young boys and men of all ages watch exhibitionistic women perform in gangbangs and seem to enjoy themselves, do those young boys and men of all ages then try to get their lady friends to engage in gangbangs?
And what about American women who watch heterosexual porn that is available free on the internet? Do those American women who watch exhibitionistic women engage in anal sex and/or double penetration and/or gangbangs, do those American women then engage is those forms of sex in their own sex lives?
Let me now re-frame those questions in terms of the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity in American culture.
Since the widespread availability of heterosexual porn videos available free on the internet, have American men and women engaged more frequently than ever before in anal sex and/or double penetration sex and/or gangbang sex - or has the tragic anti-body heritage of Christianity in American culture prevented American men and women from engaging in these forms of heterosexual activity?
Now, I want to make an observation here about American politics today. Today in American politics, we find conservatives who articulately object to porn and even introduce legislation at the state level trying to restrict access to porn. In the practical order of American politics today, we do find certain elected American politicians in state legislatures who vote against certain legislative proposals made by conservatives. Yes, to be sure, votes against particular legislative proposals at the state level made by conservatives does indeed occur today. But it strikes me that there is a bit of a political catch involved here. While conservatives at the state level may make particular legislative proposals against porn, they can more generally see themselves connected with other American conservative who are also opposed to porn. But it strikes me that there is a political imbalance here in the sense that there do not appear to be any liberal or progressive American politicians on the national scene today who are known for speaking in favor or porn that is available free of the internet and in DVDs. Sadly, defending porn publicly is far too tricky to do for most liberal and progressive American politicians to undertake doing it. Defending porn publicly is still far too tricky because the tragic anti-body heritage is still far too strong in American culture today.
Consequently, I see my various OEN articles in favor of heterosexual porn that is available free on the internet and in DVDs as cutting-edge advocacy on my part. Good boy, Tom! Keep up the good work, Tom!
