[1] Petikan tembang "Pangkur", dikutip dari booklet pementasan tari "Panji Sepuh" arahan Sulistyo Tirtokusumo, Yogyakarta 20 Desember 1993. Terjemahan bebasnya tercantum dalam booklet, namun di sini sedikit saya modifikasi:

[2] Meski demikian, dalam berbagai kajian filsafat kerap ditunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara seks dan kematian sangat erat. Sajak-sajak dan sejumlah cerpen Subagio Sastrowardoyo, umpamanya, juga banyak mengeksplorasi tema seks dan kematian dan berusaha menegaskan hubungan erat antara keduanya.

[3] Plato: "The body is the source of endless trouble to us by reason of the mere requirements of food; and is liable also to diseases which overtake and impede us in the search after true being: it fills us full of loves, lusts, and fears, and fancies of all kinds, and endless foolery, and in fact, as men say, takes away from us all power of thinking at all. ...and by reason of all these impediments we have no time to give to philosophy ..." Epikurus: "Sexual intercourse has never done a man good and he is lucky if it has not harmed him." Agustinus: "Where was I, and how far was I exiled from the delights of Thy house, in that sixteenth year of the age of my flesh, when the madness of lust which hath licence through man’s viciousness, though forbidden by Thy laws, took the rule over me, and I resigned myself wholly to it?" Lihat Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy, Simon and Schuster, 1959, masing-masing hal. 137, 245, 347.

[5] Konon Enny Arrow bukanlah nama asli ataupun nama samaran seorang pengarang tertentu, melainkan nama samaran dari sejumlah pengarang. Novel-novel ini biasanya dijual di tempat-tempat umum, seperti terminal bus atau stasiun kereta api, dengan cara sembunyi-sembunyi.

[6] Novel-novel serial Nick Carter banyak beredar dalam versi terjemahan bahasa Indonesia. Isinya adalah kisah petualangan seorang spion bernama Nick Carter yang mengingatkan kita pada tokoh James Bond 007. Dalam tugas-tugasnya, Nick biasanya berkenalan dengan seorang wanita cantik, dan perkenalan itu lazimnya lantas berakhir di atas ranjang. Bagian yang bisa dianggap porno dalam serial Nick Carter biasanya hanya beberapa halaman, berbeda dengan novel Enny Arrow yang hampir seluruh isinya mengisahkan adegan mesum.

[7] Di kampung halaman saya, daerah pedesaan di Ngawi, Jawa Timur, yang udik dan relatif jauh dari kota besar, VCD porno bukan lagi barang langka, sementara tempat-tempat penyewaan VCD pun telah menjamur dan agaknya menjadi lahan bisnis yang menggiurkan.

[8] Smut: stories, pictures, etc. that deal with sex in a rude or offensive way. Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary.

[12] Survei yang cukup ekstensif tentang pornografi di internet bisa dibaca misalnya pada tulisan Marty Rimm, "Marketing Pornography on the Information Superhighway: A Survey of 917,410 Images, Description, Short Stories and Animations Downloaded 8.5 Million Times by Consumers in Over 2000 Cities in Forty Countries, Provinces and Territories" dalam Georgetown Law Journal, Volume 83, Issue 5, atau pada alamat web ini [http://trfn.pgh.pa.us/guest/mrstudy.html]
