TYPICAL SEXUAL JOKE

Greetings…

· A guy who just got divorce complained about his ex-wife to another guy [that he newly met at a bar counter]. The new friend asked the reason behind the divorce.

· The guy answered ‘I’m not sure. Perhaps it’s my career’.· The new friend asked again, ‘what do you do for living anyway?’

· The guy briefly answered ‘Porn Star’.

Seriously, do you think the above joke is funny? Out of 10 friends, 9 of them found the joke funny. It is funny to understand that most of the funniest jokes in the world are sex-related. Sex sales and that is a fact. Otherwise Hollywoods would not use sexy women to sell most of their films. Otherwise the blue movie industry would not blossom as what we can see now. Otherwise porn sites in the internet would not take large portion of time of the internet surfers. To my surprise porn sites are damn popular even in a less developed country such as Afghanistan [according to the newspaper article that I read last year]. We do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand why.

However, a question pop up in my mind [you can say it is one of my Outrageous View], why a sex-related joke easily can make people laugh [or at least perceived as funny]. I ask you to waste your time to surf internet, finding all the good jokes available ‘in the market’. I bet you will agree with me that most of the jokes that could make you giggling one way or another involves with sexual subject. I am not saying the other jokes which is not sexually related is not funny but majority of so-called good jokes is sexual related.

Let me try to answer my own question.

I believe the main reason is sexual related jokes do reflect ‘something’. ‘Something’ that is very much related to our everyday life as if the scenario could also happen to ourselves. ‘Something’ that is very much portrays our stupidity without we realizing it.

Feel free to comment.

Thank you for your valuable time.
