Now, if you listen with your heart to my various OEN articles that I have listed in the present review essay, you will hear me singing someone's praises. I sing someone's praises as my way of expressing my admiration for something that person said or did - and also of expressing my love for that person and whatever he or she said or did. For me, when I sing someone's praises, there is no separating of the dancer from the dance - of the performer from the performance.
Now, as you can see, in two of my OEN articles listed above, I have mentioned the late Jungian psychotherapist and psychological theorist Robert Moore (1942-2016; Ph.D. in religion and psychology, University of Chicago, 1975) of the Chicago Theological Seminary and the Jungian theory that he advanced about the eight archetypes of maturity and their sixteen accompanying bipolar "shadow" forms. With Douglas Gillette as his co-author, Moore published five books about the four masculine archetypes of maturity and their accompanying eight "shadow" forms in the male psyche:
(1) King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine (HarperSanFranciso/ HarperCollins);
(2) The King Within: Accessing the King [Archetype] in the Male Psyche, revised and expanded edition (Exploration Press, 2006; orig. ed., 1992a);
(3) The Warrior Within: Accessing the Knight [Archetype] in the Male Psyche (William Morrow, 1992b);
(4) The Magician Within: Accessing the Shaman [Archetype] in the Male Psyche (William Morrow, 1993a);
(5) The Lover Within: Accessing the Lover [Archetype] in the Male Psyche (William Morrow, 1993b).
Briefly, Robert Moore posits eight archetypes of maturity in the human psyche - four masculine archetypes of maturity and four feminine archetypes of maturity in each person's psyche, each of which is accompanied by two "shadow" forms.
When we turn our attention to the exhibitionistic women who perform the role of the mom in mom-son porn videos, we should assume that they are accessing the optimal and positive form of the Queen archetype of maturity their psyches and the optimal and positive form of the feminine Lover archetypes of maturity in their psyches.
Depending on what else the fantasy skit in the mom-son porn videos calls for the exhibitionistic women who perform the role of the mom in mom-son porn videos, the exhibitionistic porn actress could also be accessing the optimal and positive form of the feminine Warrior/Knight archetype of maturity in their psyches and/or accessing the optimal and positive form on the feminine Magician/Shaman archetype of maturity in their psyches.
In the fantasy skits in mom-son porn videos, the voice of the beautiful and seductive mom is a summons for belief not only belief of the son but also belief of the young boys and men of all ages watching the beautiful and seductive mom perform for their viewing pleasure.
But not only the words spoken by the beautiful and seductive mom in mom-son porn videos are a summons for our belief, the happy sighs and moans on the exhibitionistic actress performing the role of the mom are also a summons for our belief. Thus, the soundtrack in mom-son porn videos is a summons for our belief - and the soundtrack in mom-son porn videos also qualitied mom-son porn videos as part of our contemporary secondary oral culture.
For Ong's insightful discussion of voice as summons for belief, see his 1958 essay "Voice as Summons for Belief: Literature, Faith, and the Divided Self" in the now-defunct Jesuit-sponsored journal Thought: A Review of Culture and Idea, volume 33, Serial Number 128 (1958): pp. 43-61. Ong reprinted it in his 1962 book The Barbarian Within: And Other Fugitive Essays and Studies (Macmillan, pp. 49-67). Ong's 1958 essay is also reprinted in An Ong Reader: Challenges for Further Inquiry, edited by Thomas J. Farrell and Paul A. Soukup (Hampton Press, 2002, pp. 259-275).
Now, when we turn our attention to the young boys and men of all ages who watch the exhibitionistic women performing the role of the mom in mom-son porn videos, the viewers identify with the exhibitionistic women playing the role of the mom. Consequently, whichever feminine archetypes of maturity the exhibitionistic women performing the role of the mom in mom-son porn videos are activating in their psyches, the male viewers are also activating in their psyches.
Now, communications media that accentuate sound reached a certain critical mass around 1960 with the widespread use of televisions in American homes.
Taking various hints from Ong, I have discussed his account of our secondary oral culture in my essay "Secondary Orality and Consciousness Today" in the well-organized anthology, Media, Consciousness, and Culture: Explorations of Walter Ong's Thought, edited by Bruce E. Gronbeck, Thomas J. Farrell, and Paul A. Soukup (Sage Publishing, 19991, pp. 194-209).
