Porky's paved the way for sex comedies. Maybe a remake could spark equal sexual exploitation in the movies.

Porky’s was a, if not the first, sex comedy. Characters with names like “Meat,” “Pee Wee” and “Ms. Ballbricker.” Teenage boys of the 1950’s aspiring to loose their virginity. The movie trailer entices you. It implies nudity and sex. With loads of laughter.

I was a teenager when Porky’s was released. The beginning of the 1980’s. Most parents equated Porky’s with taboo. Porky’s broke many barriers. But nudity and sex? Hardly. More like language and imagination.

We’ve come a long way since Porky’s. Or have we?

Today’s sex comedy is usually saturated with nudity and sex. But “nudity” is mostly one-sided. Naked women. A prime example is Good Luck Chuck .

Let’s imagine Porky’s was being remade. Achieving today’s standards:

-All topless dancers at Porky’s
-Girls in the shower would be naked
-Intensified sex scene with “Ms. Honeywell”

In other words, sexually exploit the women. But what about the men?

Sure 3 seconds of naked male buttocks would probably remain. But what about “Polly the penis”? Would you actually see the infamous “tally whacker with the mole?” Would the boys in the shower be naked too? Who knows?

I do know this. A Porky’s remake without a shot of the “tally whackers” would be just another sex comedy.

But……imagine a Porky’s remake with shots of all those “tally whackers.”

Parents might forbid their teenagers to see it. It may be labeled taboo. Offensive. A rewind to the ‘80’s. Another Porky’s breaking barriers.

Break barriers how? Because men would be equally sexually exploited as women are.
