Banned Movies That Authorities Said Were Inappropriate

No Art Film Shocked Audiences Like 'Flaming Creatures' banned in 22 U.S. States and Four Countries
Today, hardly a day goes by where there is no controversy or public debate about whether or not various films or other programs have crossed a line of what is acceptable to depict on film. Such debates consume an enormous amount of the public’s collective consciousness, and it seems sometimes that it’s all we ever do. It is easy to forget, however, that such debates are as old as film itself.
Many films over the decades have been controversial for their depictions of various things. Excessive violence, sexual themes, and use of questionable language in films have been magnets for public debate around their suitability to be shown and whether or not they degrade society through their being shown. This list is a journey back in time and an examination of some films from yesterday that fit that description.
Warning, this article features a collection of 60 photographs from films that have been banned in some countries. Viewer discretion is advised as some of these films may still be banned in certain locations.
Flaming Creatures is a 1963 experimental film directed by Jack Smith. The film is a satire of Hollywood B movies and features a cast of unconventional and marginalized actors, many of whom were members of the LGBTQ+ community. The film is known for its use of nonlinear storytelling, its surrealist and campy style, and its depiction of gender and sexual fluidity.
Flaming Creatures was released in 1963 and was immediately met with controversy due to its depiction of sexual and gender nonconformity and its use of explicit language and imagery. The film was banned in 22 states in the United States and in several other countries, including Canada, Sweden, and Finland, due to its controversial content.
Despite the controversy, Flaming Creatures has been widely regarded as an important and influential work within the underground and avant-garde film scenes. It has been credited with pioneering the use of camp and satire in underground cinema and with challenging traditional notions of gender and sexuality. The film has been re-released in recent years and is available for viewing at select film festivals and institutions.

Female Russian medics are being forced into sexual slavery

Female Russian medics serving on the Ukraine frontline are being forced into becoming sexual slaves for military officers, a report has said. News company Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty published an interview with a so-called 'field wife' who said women were 'passed around' by male Russian officers. The woman - a 'whistleblower' only identified by the name Margarita - said those who became 'field wives' would be made to cook, clean, and pleasure the male officers.

What Does Being Asexual Mean

No matter how you identify sexually, there is no right or wrong way to feel. But compared to other labels, the asexual definition can still be a bit of a gray area for most. And like with many other sexual orientations, being asexual doesn’t come with strict boundaries—there is a spectrum among those in the community, and that’s something to celebrate. 
Ahead, we’re going to define asexual feelings and help shine some light into this identity. But remember: Even if you feel like you don’t perfectly fit within the definition of a particular community, that doesn’t mean it can’t be part of your life. Due to the lack of information and conversation around the topic, many people who identify as asexual don’t come into the term until later in life. By sharing stories and being open to all of the beautiful ways there are to live life and express ourselves, we’re encouraging others to adopt the identities that best represent who they are.
Let’s start with the basics.

Take Note, Women

With the advent of modern-day feminism, regular men’s depiction in some movies, TV shows, and even commercials has been challenging.
Men used to be hailed in commercials as strong fathers, leaders, and friends; however, Gillette’s campaign against ‘toxic masculinity’ was just a symptom of how the media treats young men these days. 
So, what does it mean to be a man? One guy recently asked this same question on a social media chat, and his brothers stepped up with some hard truths. Here are ten insights into life as a man.

Just call it her “Genie in a Bottle.”
Christina Aguilera became the latest celebrity to back a sexual wellness brand on Tuesday, stepping into a new role as co-founder and chief wellness advisor of Playground, which specializes in personal lubricants.

“There are multiple places that I realize I orgasm from that I didn’t use to when I was in my twenties,” she told the outlet. “The more you explore, the more you discover.”

‘Most exclusive’ swingers’ club amends entry rules after backlash

A Melbourne swinger’s club dubbed “Australia’s most exclusive” is enforcing new entry rules on its invite-only guests.
The Monkey Club, which you enter through one of the city’s famed laneways, reportedly sparked outrage after its strict conditions of entry were made public last year.
While there was a slew of wild rules for those who entered the joint – located in the leafy suburb of Kew – on the lookout for sex must adhere to, it was the adult-only venue’s disturbing size requirements for its female guests that irritated Aussies.
Before any woman could even set foot through the door, she had to prove she was a size 6 to 10 by submitting pictures of themselves in a bikini or undies holding papers showing the date the picture was taken, The Herald Sun reported at the time.

An Adult’s Guide to Finally Learning to Like Vegetables

Did you hate broccoli as a kid? 
Don't worry: There's still hope for you now.*
Vegetables are an essential part of eating healthy, but getting enough vegetables can be a challenge for those of us who, to be totally honest, never learned to like them. I was once a vegetable-hater, so I totally get this. But you can learn to like veggies, even if you despised them as a kid.
If you’re envisioning a banquet full of the same horrible-tasting dishes you turned your nose up as a child, relax. There are two important things to remember. One is that there are far more vegetable dishes in the universe than the ones you’ve already tried, and certainly some of them will be to your tastes.
The other is that our tastes really do change over time. Most of us go through a picky stage as children, then expand our palates a bit as teenagers and young adults. We also tend to taste bitter flavors less strongly as we age. That’s good news if you always felt Brussels sprouts or broccoli tasted too bitter to you. I rediscovered a lot of vegetables in my twenties, and sometime in my thirties, I found myself on the opposite end of the pickiness spectrum, eating pretty much everything I formerly hated—even black licorice.
So here are some things to try, if you’re ready to make the leap.

The Gloucester Tree is a fire-lookout tree

The Gloucester Tree is a giant karri tree in the Gloucester National Park of Western Australia.
At 58 meters in height, it is the world's second tallest fire-lookout tree (second only to the nearby Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree), and visitors can climb up to a platform in its upper branches for views of the surrounding karri forest. It is owned by the Shire of Manjimup.

The Coolest Flag on Earth

Antarctica is a continent that has no countries. Many countries have settlements there, but the residents of the science stations are rarely permanent. Still, many countries have planted a flag on Antarctica without taking ownership, and they all fly flags to show where they are from. So the people of Antarctica love flags, and have pretty much always wanted to have a flag for Antarctica itself. You can't really blame them. Believe it or not, the first flag specifically designed for Antarctica came about because of a geography video game. If you are going to designate names to all the places on earth with a flag, you've got to have one for the continent with no countries. CGP Grey tells us how Antarctica got a flag in 1929 (which was appropriate, but totally boring), 1997, and in 2018. The 2018 flag, called the "True South" flag, is expected to be permanent. You can even purchase one

Why You Should Start Reading a Book Before You Leave for a Trip

It’s nice to pack a little treat for yourself as you’re getting ready for a vacation. Maybe that’s a snack for the road, or an outfit you never wear at home but that will be perfect at your destination. And sometimes it’s a book you’re excited to read but haven’t cracked open. You might want to rethink that last one.
Digging into a new book on a long flight is a great way to make the hours go by, but it’s so much easier to scroll social media or play a phone game than to open up that book that’s at the bottom of your carry-on. Read the first chapter before you go, though, and if it’s any good, you’ll be hooked. It’s easy to jump into a book when you’re itching to know what happens next.
Starting the book before you leave will also help you vet whether it’s the kind of book you’ll actually want to read while you’re traveling. Some trips are serious enough you don’t want light reading. Nonfiction might be better than a goofy fantasy novel when you’re traveling for a funeral—or maybe you’re the kind of person who thrives on escapism, in which case it’s the other way around. And sometimes you want a fun, easy read, but accidentally picked up something else.

Clean These Things Yourself When You Check Into a Hotel Room

These surfaces and amenities could probably use the extra attention.
Hotels have cleaning staffs, of course, and those employees usually do their best to make sure your stay away from home is a clean and comfortable one—but there are still things they can miss. If you’re a major germaphobe or staying in a less-than-luxurious hotel, you might want to do a little cleaning of your own when you check in. But which areas really need it the most?

Surprisingly Practical Uses for Dryer Lint

Don't throw your dryer lint away. You're going to need it. Cleaning your dryer’s lint trap after every load is a must if you want to keep the machine running efficiently and safely. Scraping out that pile of bluish-grayish-pinkish fluff is probably something you do without thinking, but before you toss it into the trash as per usual, stop. What if you didn’t throw the lint away?
That mishmash of fabric remnants isn’t necessarily trash—you can actually put it to good use. Here are a few reasons to start saving your old lint, and screw the haters who call you a hoarder for it.

Should You Have a Lobotomy?

To start with: No. You should not have (or perform) a lobotomy. It would be impossible to find a surgeon willing to take on
 the procedure, and whatever is wrong with you would be better handled through other means. Hypothetically, however, you could have a friend perform a lobotomy on you with a few tools and without great difficulty—if there was ever a DIY brain surgery, it’s the transorbital lobotomy. If you live through it, you probably won’t even be unhappy with the results of the procedure, but only because there won’t be much of “you” left to care.

Agatha Christie's writing being "cleaned up" for modern readers

Several Agatha Christie novels have been edited to remove potentially offensive language, including insults and references to ethnicity.
Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries written between 1920 and 1976 have had passages reworked or removed in new editions published by HarperCollins to strip them of language and descriptions that modern audiences find offensive, especially those involving the characters Christie’s protagonists encounter outside the UK...
The newspaper reported that the edits cut references to ethnicity, such as describing a character as black, Jewish or Gypsy, or a female character’s torso as “of black marble” and a judge’s “Indian temper”, and removed terms such as “Oriental” and the N-word. The word “natives” has also been replaced with the word “local”.
Among the examples of changes cited by the Telegraph is the 1937 Poirot novel Death on the Nile, in which the character of Mrs Allerton complains that a group of children are pestering her, saying that “they come back and stare, and stare, and their eyes are simply disgusting, and so are their noses, and I don’t believe I really like children”.
This has been stripped down in a new edition to state: “They come back and stare, and stare. And I don’t believe I really like children.”

The Art Of Compromise And The Compromise Of Art

A possible solution so that even the anti-woke MAGAts can still look at Michelangelo's David.
When one thinks about it, this kerfuffle in Florida about a school principal being fired because the kids were "exposed" to Michelangelo's David is a prime example of the cognitive dissonance that right wingers go through every day of their miserable lives. Because these are the same people that will get all red in the face and start tossing spittle and vitriol if anyone dares to bad mouth Melania Trump, who had posed in the nude.
So, tweeter @Tarquin_Helmet came up with this compromise:
Now, let's see what they have to say about that!

Italy curator slams 'ignorance' in Michelangelo row

The head of the Italian museum housing Michelangelo's David criticized Monday "twisted minds" who equated nudity with pornography, after a US teacher was forced out for showing pupils the statue.
Cecilie Hollberg, director of the Accademia in Florence, said the row showed a "huge ignorance" about art history, and was the product of "misplaced puritanism".
A school principal in Tallahassee, Florida, was forced to resign last week following complaints that her class of 11 and 12-year-olds was shown a picture of the naked statue of David.
One insanely delusional parent reportedly said the image was pornographic.

Finger-Prick Test Developed For ‘Trich’ A Common, Undiagnosed STI

A quick, affordable diagnostic test developed by a Washington State University researcher may help curb one of the most prevalent but least discussed sexually transmitted infections.
More common than chlamydia or gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, also known as trich, causes no symptoms in about 70% of those infected. Even when asymptomatic, trich is linked to a host of bad health outcomes, including increased susceptibility to HIV, prostate cancer in men and infertility and pregnancy complications in women.
Trich is easily curable with a drug called metronidazole, if diagnosed, and WSU researcher John Alderete has been working for years to improve testing and make it more accessible. His latest development, detailed in the journal Pathogens, is a new finger-prick test that delivers results in five minutes and can be produced for under $20.
“We know a lot about the biology of this organism,” said Alderete, the study lead author and professor in WSU’s School of Molecular Biosciences. “There probably will never be a vaccine for trich simply because the organism is well equipped to evade our immune responses. But I’d argue we don’t need a vaccine. We just need to diagnose people, and once diagnosed, they can be cured.”
Currently trich is often only diagnosed when symptoms are present, which can include genital itchiness and a burning sensation during urination. The tests in use now are focused on diagnosing women and involve a vaginal swab. It takes time to get results, and the tests require trained personnel as well as specialized equipment. Other methods recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration also have similar limitations.
As detailed in this study, the new test requires only a drop of blood to detect an antibody specific to trich. Alderete previously identified this biomarker, an alpha-actinin protein unique to this organism named ACT::SOE3 in earlier research. Both men and women make the antibody when they are infected.
Alderete, working with co-author Hermes Chan from the company MedMira, used the diagnostic platform of the company for his finger-prick test to detect for antibody to the target protein. Similar to COVID-19 and pregnancy tests, the results are displayed in a window with a dot appearing if the antibody is present, indicating infection. It is a point-of-care diagnostic test meaning positive results lead to immediate treatment and cure of a person. The test does not require specialized training and equipment to administer.
The goal was to meet World Health Organization “ASSURED” standards for disease detection, which stands for affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end users. Since trich is a world-wide problem with an estimated 156 million new cases each year, Alderete hopes the test can ultimately be used in many low-resource countries, particularly in places like Africa where trich is suspected to be a contributing factor in the spread of HIV.
The test can also have many benefits in the U.S. as well. Alderete estimated there are more than 9.2 million cases annually based on incidence rates and census data. . One study found that 50% of pregnant women had persistent undiagnosed infections – a significant concern since trich is associated with pre-term membrane rupture, preterm birth and low infant birth weight.
The first step is to make more people aware of the problem, Alderete said.
“Trich is the most common STI you’ve probably never heard of,” he said. “This STI may be the most neglected among the other curable STIs. We just have not done a good job in medicine to educate people. One of the major problems is that most people are asymptomatic. In other words, you may have it, but you don’t know you have it until you have a really bad problem.”
Patent protection on the new development is in process.

Amsterdam targets rowdy Brits with 'stay away' campaign

Amsterdam launched a campaign on Tuesday to discourage tourists planning drug- and alcohol-fueled parties -- starting with young British men.

The Dutch capital has long been trying to curb rowdy behavior such as stag parties, especially near the famed red light area where sex workers operate.
The new campaign, dubbed "Stay Away", will involve people searching online for some getaways in Amsterdam receiving special warnings.
"The campaign will commence in Great Britain, aimed at males in the age category of 18 to 35 years," Amsterdam city council said in a statement.

BDSM Dating Sites

Meeting and, from there, hopefully playing with any fellow kinksters used to be limited to the very old-fashioned way -- that is, face-to-face or not at all.
It sucked then, and it would suck now, except that thanks to this newfangled thing called the "internet," we can meet, mingle, negotiate and perhaps even play with like-minded BDSM folks without having to change out of our pyjamas.
That doesn't mean online dating is perfect. In fact, there's a lot to learn about how to do it effectively and, most all, safely.
So let's take a look at some of its pros, cons and what you'll find when you first begin dipping your leather or latex-clad toes into kink dating sites.

Your First Time In a Threesome

A ménage a trois, or threesome, as they are more popularly called, are unique sexual experiences involving three people who are as equally invested in their partners' pleasure as they are in their own.
Threesomes also provide an opportunity to try new things in the bedroom. Many people find threesomes a uniquely eye-opening sexual experience, but they can be quite tricky to navigate for first-timers.
So, if a threesome is on your bucket list, here's how to get started -- and increase the odds that it'll be a success for everyone involved:

Preparing for Pegging

If you're reading this article, you're probably at least considering the idea of pegging your partner. 
But just like everything sexual, there are no rules that require you to peg your partner.
So, first off, you should ask yourself: Do you want to peg them? And, if you do, what would make you most comfortable when doing it?
That's where the conversation should start, and it should continue in that vein throughout the entire process. You, your comfort level and your enjoyment are just as important s your partner's. Never let that fall to the wayside!
If you're not really all that comfortable wearing a realistic-looking dildo, don't. If you feel awkward and uncomfortable thrusting, explore sex positions where the receiving partner can do the majority of the movement. If you're worried about looking un-sexy in a harness, experiment with harness types until you find one you love -- or wear a skirt or some jeans on top of the harness and let the dildo pop out.
At any point, like anything consent-related, you can change your mind about pegging. Just because your partner wants you to do something doesn't mean that you are under any obligation to do it.
However, I assume you're here because you're kinda curious about how to make this happen.
So, with that in mind, here are five steps to help you prepare for pegging:
