They Said What About Sex On The View?!

Although U.S. morning T.V. ABC talk hour The View seems to concern itself with politics more than not during the show’s infamous “Hot Topics” moments, the subject of sex just reared its pulsating head across the show’s stage center table. And not just sex, but porn! One has to wonder; is a discussion of sex toys next?

What Happened

What happened exactly is that Ana Navarro responded to moderator/comedian Joy Behar’s remark about the spark going out of older people’s sex lives. Navarro replied by making a remark about porn, making sure to assure everyone that although she doesn’t watch it, lots do to keep heat in their bedrooms. And although reminding the show’s viewers that what we see in adult content might be performance (although some very good performances, to be sure), still “the older you get, the less inhibited you are,” Navarro added. She also continued by saying that older folks surely know what buttons to push and press. Which gets one to wonder…buttons, pushing and pressing?

Toys Ana?

Could Navarro be referencing vibrator usage? Might the Nicaraguan-American political strategist and commentator be into strapping on? The women of The View represent a varied age population, but who knows. maybe one among them has indeed bought their mate a love doll. Surely more on one side of the U.S. political spectrum than the other, one might expect a decided ‘liberal’ approach to sex from the ladies of this particular show. But when one of these ladies is calling out porn, and not being particularly critical or disparaging about it, on such a popular mainstream broadcast morning T.V. show, might we dare think, that the culture might be (?) maturing.

The Future We Hope To See

Maybe next year when The View trots out its usual round of holiday shows, there will be a few interesting gift suggestions of a more sex-positive nature. Viewers can only wait and hope.
