Pregnant & Dating: American Television Hits an All-Time New Low


Cable television network WE-tv will soon premiere their new reality series “Pregnant & Dating.” Apparently, this show will follow the lives of women who are pregnant, not married, and looking to find love and or sex. Here is a brief synopsis from the WE-tv web-site:
Traditionally, love is followed by marriage and then along comes motherhood, but in this fresh new original series, viewers join these fearless five as they experience the modern day dating game with a baby on board. The spotlight will be on all the drama, conflict and inherent comedy that ensues when these very spirited and single moms-to-be embark on their quest to find Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Right Now.
Since beginning my blog, this is one of the clearest examples of the so-called main-stream media pulling a concept for a show straight from the world of pornography. For, even before I entered the the pornography industry as a performer, when I was still just a teenage porn consumer and addict, I was keenly aware of a porn sub-sect that fetishized pregnant women. When I was still a child, I saw a rather extremely raunchy porn magazine that featured men having sex with various pregnant models. When I finally did get to go after my childhood dream of becoming a porn star, the gay pornographic industry in San Francisco was its own self-contained sphere of reality, somewhat separated from the neighboring constellation of straight porn that existed in Southern California. Despite that, in passing, I did hear about female porn stars who became pregnant, and decided to keep their baby, but continued working in pregnant-porn niche videos; or pregnant prostitutes who were recruited into doing the same.
The last time this fetishism had been so prominently displayed was way back in 1991 when Demi Moore posed very pregnant and naked on the cover of “Vanity Fair.” What was worse were the blatantly trashy photos inside the magazine of Demi in sleazy black lingerie. The women in this new show, were probably children when that magazine came out. Then, it became OK to commercially sexualize pregnancy. And, here, I want to make a distinction between married-loving men who may find their pregnant wives attractive, and the perversion of a detached general male population who are getting excited by seeing pregnant women; the WE-tv series feeds the sickness of the later. All in all, this is just another cultural example of an American society in a very serious state of moral decline: nothing is off-limits. Since, the popular media continues to shoot towards that which is the lowest disordered inclinations in the mind's of men; and women. In this regard, that which can be readily turned on the television should no longer be simply regarded as suitable for all, but suitable for the sick and depraved.
