The battle for control over female sexuality carries on unabated decades after the pill and paternity tests made the question moot.
And in the supposed front line of sexual promiscuity women revert to the same old positions: it isn’t Madonna or whore for women rock stars, that is easy, it is Madonna/Whore/Play Act Sexuality: I am not writing about the reality of female sexuality, of who is fucking who, this is about THE PROJECTION.
A guy, from scum like Vince Neil to sensitive guys like Bruce Springsteen, began their stardom on a rampage of sexual conquests. Chris Rock noted that men are only as faithful as their options. Precisely. And male rock stars have lots and lots of options.
Vince Neil is on the record as having fucked over 2,000 women. Imagine for one moment if Madonna said she had slept with 2,000 men.
Indeed, just imagine “Papa Don’t Preach” Madonna at all. Her intensely controversial “Erotic” porn book couldn’t get Vince Neil hard. It is too fucking arty, it keeps on winking at you, it is like there should be a sign reading “I’ve got a Mapplethorpe And I’m Gonna Use It” plastered on the cover . It sucks and IT BOMBED.
Her S&M is a pose, her bi-sexuality a joke: I was once dating a girl and I convinced her to take a shower with her best friend, a chick. They got in the shower and laughed and rubbed each others boobs and tongue kissed but they were in it for the shits and giggles and to give me a cheap thrill. They weren’t into it. And that’s Madonna’s bi-sexuality.
So what is she?
This big time sexual predator rock star is a serial monogamist.
I was interviewing a band with a female lead singer the other day and the guitarist wasn’t there, he had slept with a different girl every day since he hit town. Imagine, for one second, if I was told that about the girl… she would be ostracized: EVERY STORY WRITTEN ABOUT HER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE WOULD USE IT FOR THE LEAD.
Second tier female rock performers are shunted to the side, second tier female stars fuck actors and musicians a little higher on the pecking order. Big time female rock stars fuck boy toy models. Gay female rock stars keep it quiet.
A sensitive rock star like Conor fucks every indie girl and is considered a good guy while mealy mouthing excuses on “Take It Easy (Love Or Nothing)”, Liz Phair spends her ode to promiscuity on her knees not fellating but in tears.
The lesbian riot girls were writing love songs to other women.
The English punk girls were graduated groupies who stopped fucking around the moment they hit the charts, their transgressive punk look was a statement and a pose but it wasn’t real.
The New York punk girl rock stars, what there were of them, were personified by Patti Smith’s desire to suck Keith Richards off (which is fine if you are Keith Richards) and Debbie Harry -a big time sex star when she was 34 years old, and in a serious, long term relationship with Chris Stein.
You get the picture: groupies might have been band aids but I am not discussing groupies fucking for the pecking order…. I am discussing big time rockers projecting their sexuality, If Britney Spears is the definition of female promiscuity, where is the slutting? It doesn’t exist. If Miley Cyrus is so bad, what has she done that is naughty?
Even Janis Joplin, who garnered a post-humous reputation for her sexual appetite, is not seen through a strong sexual imagination.
In 60 years and despite the pay to play explicit IN ALL ENTERTAINMENT, women rock stars who can do WHATEVER THEY WANT PRESUMABLY, can’t come out as having a male type sexuality. Can’t count their conquests. Can’t have the freedom men have. Because if they could at least ONE would.
Pretty fucked up, right?
