Going through my family’s photo album… with every moment being recorded in this surveillance hellscape there will be a generation of people who can watch themselves being born, or conceived–in SD, HD, 4k or 8k. Add audio too: mono or stereo? Surround sound? If that’s not time-travel I don’t know what is.


Having stared at my wife’s vag as she gave birth, you don’t want to see that. It’s amazing watching your child be born, but there is… it’s not a vagina as you know it. If I wasn’t able to compartmentalize and I saw that image in my head every time I had sex with my wife, I’d probably never have sex again.
If someone offered to show me a video of my birth… I’d probably pass. The creature emerging from that portal to hell has no relation to what any is us became. Also, “I landed on a little poo,” isn’t something any of us wants to know.
Somewhere out there are fetishists claiming the exception to the rule but… I’d think twice.
