I find this article somewhat amusing.

[Duke 2.0]

 How? We knew it would happen. Any organization with rules on sexuality would take issue to this. Because if you get down to it, if the Na'vi are not human then having sex with 'em is bestiality. And while people who don't believe in a soul can get away with that loophole of being in an avatar, the whole persistent human soul thing makes this weird.

 Then again, doesn't the Vatican already deny aliens can exist? Then it is a double-whammy for this movie.

[Cthulhu]

And the non-religious criticisms are all the same criticisms everyone's been leveling at it.

Bestiality is sex with a nonsentient animal. This is not that.

[Cthulhu]

Do you know of any sentient animals we have here on Earth to improve the definition?

I guarantee you if aliens show up, doing it with them will be as deviant and shocking as doing it with animals is now.

[CobaltKobold]

I don't think I'm going to agree with your 'definitions.'

I see no good reason to use definitions that will potentially need revising when I can use ones that will not.

Wouldn't the word be xenophilia?

[Duke 2.0]

 I was unaware of the term xenophilia as it isn't a term that I come across regularly, but I will accept that it is a better term for it. Regardless, it is just as shocking as the term I used.

 I'm getting the feeling that my father is starting to understand the alien sex concept of Avatar now, which might mean a 'talk' soonish. Hopefully my fun with making fun of the movie will deter him from thinking this has effected me in a way he fears.

[CobaltKobold]

The movie doesn't have any of that, anyway, just kissing. 


I hear the movie is much better in 3d imax. I only got to see it in regular-theatre 2d.

[userpay]

Definatly wouldn't call it bestiality, and for that matter he was in his avatar which might screw with definitions a bit.

[Neruz]

And considering how 'human' the Na'vi were, i wouldn't even really classify it as Xenophilia, unless having sex with an African is Xenophilia.

Hell, i know people that are more alien in mindset than the Na'vi, strip away their physical features (which are already very close to human) and you've got Native Americans.

[Morrigi]

So true. I just find all the fan sites drooling over Ney'tiri to be hilarious. I mean, really. Do they really have so little of a life to be obsessed with a completely computer-generated alien? Really?

[Jackrabbit]

They're vaguely hot. You don't understand the effect this has on some people.

[Neruz]

Are we not allowed find visual representations of fictional characters to be attractive?

[Jackrabbit]

I don't think finding a fictional creature to be attractive an obsession.

So I've been married to my wife for a while now. Its been 6 years since our marriage and I had been dating her for 4 years prior to that. So its been quite a while. My life hasnt been that bad. I mean I have a good job working at Safeway bagging groceries, and my wife is a psychologist so she's the real breadwinner in the family.

We may not be rich but we usually don't want for much. I never thought myself the type to have an addictive personality but ever since we saw Avatar in theaters I have been having problems.

The past 7 nights in a row my wife has asked me to have sex with her, and I just havent been in the mood. Scratch that. I'm incredibly horny most of the time, but I dont feel attracted to her anymore. The sight of her naked literally does nothing for me, and I'm frightened by that. Instead I imagine Neytiri. Her majestic grace and boundless beauty as well as the alien mystery about her. I want to fly off to pandora and live with her, to be with her always. I would worship her as she deserves. I'd do anything to just to touch her, to smell her.

She's the perfect woman, and i feel like this life here has lost its spark. Where is the magic in humanity. Just a few days ago, my son asked me some question about what happened in Avatar. I dont even remember what it was, but after I told him, I started crying. Right in front of him. All I can think about is how depressing it is that I will never reach pandora. I almost vomited while I cried. It was the most pathetic thing I have ever done. Im in my 30's for god's sake. I have to remain strong for my son. Right?

I want to tell my wife but she's a psychologist. She'll think I'm sick. I know it. I probably am sick. But what can I do. Its a little early to tink about divorce, but the thought of her disgusts me. The thought of me disgusts me. How could I compare to the beauty and grace of a Na'vi. I want to leave, to just leave and sort things out, but I dont want to leave my wife and son alone. I dont know what to do with myself, with my life. I dont want to see another psychologist and get treated like a specimen. I just want to be a Na'vi. I've never wanted anything more in my life.

At this point I would rip my son to shreds for an hour on pandora. I would too. And that thought frightens me. Can anyone somehow offer me assistance. Christ what ami going to do with myself?
