Sweaty Night Fever

So what do you think about the John Travolta sex scandal (if you've thought of it at all)? Is it just another example of one more Menz of Power trying to have their/his way with another - wanted or not? Or is it a situation of sexual repression? In fact, one may wonder, is any of it true and how could Johnny not be good?

I have no proof that the unwanted groping allegations of what is now climbing to 5 men against Travolta is true. Nor do you, unless you have a personal experience with him you'd like to share. However, it isn't a secret in Hollywood, NYC and most hotels around the world that our Ace John, the guy with the twinkling eyes, easy smile, pleasant demeanor, grieving father, loyal husband, isn't living a full-on heterosexual life.

Allegations against him as a sexual predator, however, are surprising. Should it be true that Johnny has been a bad boy, I will only surmise that part of the mess has its roots in the classic "wanting to be found out" game we play when we secretly want to be honest about something we're hiding that continues to haunt our thoughts. Unless its a sexual fantasy to grab a stranger's body parts, I don't know why else Mr. Travolta would become so sloppy in his actions. Or so sleazily predatory.

If one wants a special massage and if one is well-known, perhaps it might be best to have the right kind of connections or associates in close proximity to keep things private and consensual. Non-consensual sex between anyone is harassment, and, if the details of the encounters with John Travolta are accurate, the "Mating Dance" put on by Travolta is rather pathetic in combination with everything else.

It's been whirling around the Interwebs for several years that after Travolta's son Jett died, the Church of Scientology was no longer a place John wanted to be. As well as being closeted. Rumours circulated that the only reason he has remained with the church and with his "wife" Kelly Preston, is how it would hurt Kelly's reputation, the Church if Travolta were to leave, and veiled threats from whoever is his true puppet master, that his career would be over.

Part of the fears are viable. He would be seen as a liar, his wife another liar if she said she didn't know (when almost everyone understands it was a Scientology Match'Em Dot Con Job).

What a mess! Travolta's lawyer can debunk all he wants. Gloria Allred, repping at least two of the accusers as of this writing, can call as many press conferences as she wants and do a lot of interviews. *cough*

It won't matter either way. The public airing of Mr. Travolta's hairy sweaty laundry has already tarnished a once clean-cut image. I now have visions of him on a massage table I'd like to erase from my visual virtual memory and can't.

How this ends... Who knows? Deals? Payoffs? Travolta holding a Kobe Bryant-like press conference with Kelly Preston stoically sitting at his side as he apologizes and clutches Kelly's hand and promises to go into Gay Groping Rehabilitation (aka the Hidden Towers at Scientology HQ).

He's such a likeable fellow in general, isn't he? I know he could pull it off.

However, there are more than a few men out there who have seen him pull it off in a much different way and it didn't create a positive reaction - or so "they" say.
