Weekly Post

This week we started reading Portnoy's Complaint, which to my knowledge so far is about a young jewish boy dealing with his over-bearing mother and his constant need to self satify his sexual needs. There is an entire chapter devoted to his own masturbation ventures where in which he suffocates himself on his older sister panties, and other such disgusting tools of sexual satisfaction. This to me disgusts me not because of the masturabation thing, but the way he goes about touching himself is what i have the serious problem with. I know and fully accept the fact that all men and a decent portion of women masturbate, but to my knowledge they do not use such perverse methods of satisfaction. The mother in the story is a complete psychopath, she is the traditional jewish mother who is the strong personification of a stereotypical jewish mother. As i go throughout more of the storyline i hope that this tale will stop looking so grim and disgusting and have a much lighter side to it.
