Earwax/Body Product Porn
I've been thinking it would be a great idea to get my ears cleaned out with one of those ear candles. Did you know this is how they cleaned their ears in Atlantis? Apparently, some people think it's not such a great idea. I can't remember if it's in Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine or The Fermata where he describes cleaning his ears in great detail, but it's really satisfying. I can't remember if he ear candles or not. I want some form of ear cleaning because I seem to be going slightly deaf. On the other hand, it may just be old age.
Besides hearing better, I want the satisfaction of seeing a bunch of wax come out of my ears. There should be body product porn for people like me, devoted to things like ear wax and other things too gross (but also fascinating) to mention here -- you know, blackhead extraction and stuff. Like "The Faces of Death" only considerably tamer. It probably already exists.

I remember very vividly that there was a scene in "Jungle Fever" where the guy was lying on the bed with his girlfriend sitting on his back and popping zits on his back for him. That's actually the only thing I remember from this film. How's that for gross bodily secretion porn?

oh wow, i love that the atlantis site says that ear candling "has the effect of cleaning the sinus cavity and the mind."
that's so what i need.

I'd be happy to come up with a soundtrack for your first body product porn film. I hear lots of bass, maybe a saxophone, too. Then again, maybe we could just ask Whitney Houston if we could use, "Didn't We Almost Have It All."
