Are We Spankos "Losers?"

Man, what is it with Abrahamism and sex?

I am no film critic, but as far as her talent goes, I would have to say it was certainly okay for the type of work she did, certainly Baywatch. After all, that show lasted 11 seasons and was said to be the most popular TV show ever.
It really comes down to personal likes. For instance I love the old Tarzan movies with Johnny Weissmuller, doesn't matter if he was a not a superb actor.
Btw, finally was able to get all the Baywatch seasons on DVD, over the past couple years. Some Australian company did them and was able to find them at reasonable prices from Amazon or ebay. Never understood why it took so long for it to make onto DVD as popular as the show was. Except for some terrible American editions about 10 years ago. They mislabeled the seasons and omitted several big episodes, including the debut of Pam in the season 3 two- part opener.
You will like this CK, there was a Baywatch episode where CJ, Pam's character delivered a hard smack to the seat of a male lifeguard's trunks.
The guys were talking about some county regulation banning G- string swimsuits( that sounds bizarre considering the many bare cheeks seen on the show.) Someone asked how do you tell what is an illegal suit, and someone replied it had to do with what the nates showed. Guard "Newmie" asked, "What are nates?" CJ smacked his butt, saying, "Those are nates!"
I must have talked about Baywatch in the thread I started about TV shows that should have had spanking. Maybe I will revisit it.

I just remembered that a few years ago I saw a parody of Baywatch on TV called Green Baywatch. I remember the actors in their Baywatch style swimsuits breaking through the ice to rescue swimmers in distress in the winter waters of Green Bay, Wisconsin. For those not living in the USA, you might not know that Green Bay is famous for it's cold winters. I don't remember if there was any more to the parody than the theme song or not, but it was well worth watching.

I just went to you tube, and found 2 versions of Green Baywatch. The one I remembered is actually a diet Dr. Pepper commercial. It has to be one of the funniest commercials ever.

Are we being unfair to Pamela Anderson? If she was being judgmental and decrying porn as immoral and sinful, then in my opinion we are not being unfair. If she was saying that porn is a poor substitute for the real thing then I would agree with her. Let's face it, whilst I enjoy a good spanking movie as much as the next person, so much of it is obviously faked, poorly acted and has such a feeble story line that I would have to admit to being 'sad' when I continue to watch it. That being said, if Pamela was to willing to offer her services for the real thing then she could definitely make one sad man very, very happy.

There are many people who wish to provide their opinion on certain sexual issues, they should take the time to look in the mirror. Pam Anderson has been in several TV shows, normally, her employment is based on sexual appearances or costumes, i.e. Baywatch. I do not feel she is a moral compass, it is best to enjoy yourself and not worry, thanks.

This, to me, is a key distinction. Stories and drawing don't depend upon the objectification of an actual human being, as do both pictorial and video pornography. This is not a trivial difference.

Related, tangentially: who among us did not, even as a child, get a thrill from reading something that was decidedly not meant to be titillating? If we try to classify all writing that can produce a frisson in anyone as 'pornography' ... well, we all know about Rule 34 of the internet, right? Ideas are ideas. Images work differently, in the human brain. Without necessarily condemning those who require images, stories are not pornography (even by etymological definition.)

Now, there are people who spend hours looking at images of clothing, cars, watches, holiday houses etc with an appetite that would dwarf anything seen here. That's more a mark of a "loser" than anything found here, I'd suggest.

I consider myself a "winner" for being an individual who derives pleasure from spanking-fetish related porn. It is definitely not the vulgar kind of porn - the spanking-fetish related porn which I enjoy is not *hard-core* porn. It is beautiful!

Well, actually my real good luck consists of me turning out to be a spanko. But since I am married to a vanilla woman I am obliged to enjoy spanking-related things only vicariously - by means of reading spanklit and by means of viewing spanking videos and spanking still images.

It was not until I was well out of college and working that I came across a magazine in a tobacco shop with Variations on their shelf. There were quite a few letters to the editor regarding spankings especially; and I was sure I found heaven. It has been years and years since I first found that magazine. Since I am currently living in a very religious state, I know the likelihood of finding a copy is slim. Still, extremists are always on the lookout for their next cause. At this point, I'm ready to stay out of their way and enjoy my retirement and this lovely site.

Well, I may have watched a couple episodes of "Baywatch," but I obviously wasn't a fan in spite its focus on pretty, well-endowed young women in brief bathing suits--it seemed to me that the physical appeal of youthful, attractive, scantily-attired characters was mainly what the program was based upon. For that type of a television show, I'll admit that Pamela Anderson was pretty much ideal to portray a lead character, which was my point all along, i.e. that her career as an actress was based primarily on her sex appeal.

I'm hardly envisioning her ever having been able to star in "Hill Street Blues" or "thirtysomething," however; just because a program like "Baywatch" was popular doesn't mean that it was a high-quality production requiring superior acting ability.

However, I'll admit that I'd happily watch the "Baywatch" episode you described, just to watch voluptuous Pamela give that young man a solid swat on his behind with her smacking palm...
