I have an excellent memory and hyperactive imagination, if that counts.

disqualification!

That would be me.

i vote for ned, rah the porn! ;-)

caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

haha, i was gonna vote jimmy mod or mr. noodles actually

Ô¿Ô (eman), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

for some reason porn on vhs seems more creepy to me, like you have to have a moustache to watch porn on vhs

caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

Well oddly enough I did just finish reading Legs McNeil's The Other Hollywood, so there is that!

As donut e-go can confirm, I have a few hilarious 70s era Eurotrash porns taped off Cinemax etc. from their late night screenings in the early nineties. Plus, the musical live action porn Cinderella. All the actual hardcore sex was excised from all these, just leaving the plot. Ergo, pure hilarity.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

haha, i love how you call them "porns"

caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

i like to download

Ô¿Ô (eman), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

The joyful use of the plural!

The most fucked up of the Europorns is definitely Love Camp. It's a musical too and it's pretty indescribable. Filmed in beautiful Cyprus!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

Something Weird video, HELLO!

C/D: People who talk about porn in nostalgic / ironic terms, in a sense excusing themselves from being honest / talking about sexuality

donut, yes, it does not have to be purchased. and it should go by number of files rather than by megabytes (or should i say gigs? haha!) i'm afraid to count how many files i have.

donut e-go (donut), Friday, 24 June 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

um all you have to do is put them in a folder and check the properties. you don't have to count by hand for gods sake!

Mostly I just have photos of naked women. My dirty pictures folder now has 3,766 files (note -- this folder needs to be cleaned out badly. It's been collecting files for years). My video folder has 54 files.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

I have 318 files. Most are videos.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I hardly ever download pictures. There's enough free ones that are easily found that it doesn't make sense to me. Although I guess maybe if you wanted to go back to the same ones, it would. And to be honest, there are a few I've saved for that reason. But most of my files are videos that I've downloaded from Limewire, and most I've kept because I just haven't bothered deleting them.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

ok that list of porn titles is gross, but i gotta say, orbit, if that chip on yr shoulder gets any bigger it'll be erik fucking estrada. it amazes me that you think something like your posts above could possibly do anything positive. if anything, it makes people defensive, hostile, and generally want to do the opposite of whatever the sanctimonious yenta who's yelling at them stands for.

so could we have a month-long moratorium on "orbit works out her personal issues by constantly playing the sexist/weight-ist/whatever-ist card"? please?

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I've got videos from Limewire, too, but I seldom download them because the chance of downloading something disgusting and depressing seems extraordinarily high. I mean sure, you can just delete 'em, but by then your erection has long since been washed away by the sight of some gooey anal inter-racist humilationfest or something. Or worse. So I just stick with arty pictures of pretty girls mostly. Couple of cumshots, I guess, but no facials.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I've got videos from Limewire, too, but I seldom download them because the chance of downloading something disgusting and depressing seems extraordinarily high.

I mean, maybe. But I use specific search terms based on my tastes. Of course, some of it is mistagged, but that's why you select Preview to check on it first, and then, if you're satisfied, you happily wait while it downloads.

Arty pictures of pretty girls are nice. Are you a met-art.com kinda guy, Kenan?

i always have a couple files floating around, but they only work once i find. and then i feel like a degenerate for having them and shitcan them all. aaand then later i go get more. it's a cycle.

Yeah, I can relate. I don't think I have anything more than nine months old, and there's always the possibility that I'll delete them all at once if I'm feeling weird about it. (Or if, say, I start dating someone.) As for only working once, that's probably true of 95% of what I have, but there are a few files I will go back to (generally Lightspeed).

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I have anything more than nine months old

What I meant by this was that nine months ago, I deleted everything I had and started anew.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

i used to have quite a bit but it all went in two major purges, one of computer stuff and one of video/dvds. i hung onto half a dozen favourites for old times' sake

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

my porn collection is exactly one dvd that I watched once, given to me by an ex, who ended up in porn and all fucked-up. personally, I can't watch it at all, her grim behind-the-scenes stories ruined it for me.

Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

Exactly. And Peter Hegre. He has his own folder.

Really, I'm a sucker for any photo with good lighting. There's nothing worse than a close up of someone's razor burn lit with what seems to be a naked mercury vapor bulb.

Yeah, there is an ick factor there. I guess that's part of my preference for photos. You can imagine that it's a dancer making cash on the side with a professional photographer, instead of a doped-up runaway.

(xpost) One of the things I look for in videos is women that look like they're genuinely having fun. For whatever reason, this tends to happen more with either solo or lesbian movies.

you two would enjoy sapphicerotica, it's the only porn site I've seen that pretty much hits the attractive, decent lighting, enjoyable, 'not making me feel like a sadistic freak' marks.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

are we getting boxed in by the standard contemporary woman-friendly sensitive-guy feelings toward porn? Everything you've said (which I agree with wholeheartedly) is almost a script for guys in their teens/twenties who don't want to seem like they own all fourty volumes of Pregnant Anal Virgins.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:38 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i don't know. i mean, i've seen my fair share of diff. types, but in terms of what i seem to go back to, it's often the same: young real-looking women being cute and sexy and having fun in a natural way.

jody otm. as soon as i sense that there's something manufactured about it, i lose interest.

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

haha, i was thinking that earlier. haha.

actually, i'm not sure "manufactured" is even the right word. one of my favorite videos is essentially a striptease with two women, under the guise that they're working out and getting so hot they need to undress. but whereas a more professional porn would be deadly serious about this, you can tell in this video that the women are conscious of the conceit and are kind of laughing about it. they're also just being themselves. that's pretty sexy to me.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:49 (twenty years ago)

i'm not turned on at all by professional, expensive-looking porn with soft lighting and expensive cameras

Well, it's not so much the equipment as it is the girl and the photographer. A good photo has personality. Personality is what I look for most, if that makes any sense. A girl who seems to have something going on with her besides just being naked.

Alternated, a girl getting off until she begs for mercy.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

alternately

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

Yes, "personality" is a good way of putting it -- which is a good part of what I like about the video I mentioned.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

And which is why "amateur" porn often pwns the professional porn, because the subjects are just being who they are, rather than poorly acting out a role.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

Yes! I think that's true, too. I like to see some laughing and joking, you know? It means the people are relaxed and happy. I admire that in a video director, too -- I can't imagine what it takes to put a bunch of naked people at ease while they're being videotaped. Surely that's a special talent.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

I think one of my favorite clips has as much talking in it as fucking. It's a lesbian weekend getaway. Big beach house kinda thing. But as the girls talk to each other, it becomes clear that a) they might be here even if the cameras weren't, and b) they have girlfriends at home, not boyfriends. For some reason, that makes a world of difference. And they play and trade tips and tricks and stuff. Just great.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

that sounds cool. talking is awesome.

attractive, decent lighting, enjoyable, 'not making me feel like a sadistic freak' marks

You know what? You can go to freecartoonsex.com, you can look at all the fucked up manga/wonder woman/flintstones gang-boinking you want, and it's OHHHH-KAYYYY, because some bored-ass sorta bent fucker drew it and colored it in with Painter, there's no REAL PEOPLE involved.

Except oh wait just the IDEA of some of the stuff that goes on in about half-to-75% of those comics is pretty much verging on the criminal and deranged, so it's still FUCKED UP, why would anybody draw that? Why would anybody want to look at it? Oh God what am I doing looking at this?

Maybe the live-action stuff isn't so bad. Nobody's holding a gun to their head. You know, hey, women should be allowed to strip and be in porn if they want to, that's choice, that's feminism, right? This girl is probably making a lot of money. She chose to be there, having sex with all those dudes. She's cool with it, it's all basically acting.

I don't like it when the acting implies some kind of coercion, though, this isn't cool. You just know this is going to inspire some 16 year old to rape somebody. What the fuck is going on here? Why don't they just fess up that it's all fake? Jesus I'm tired of the word slut. These are all so rote, is it just assumed every hetero male only has one of three fantasies?

Better yet just quit altogether, cold turkey, no more porn. I'll stop wasting time on this and just go do something else. I'll feel healthier and stop worrying about how fucked up people are. Of course twelve hours later when you've got nothing else to do you're right back at it, surfing the tits parade, vicariously loading some girl's face with semen, and congratulations, you're a victim too.

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

In response to the thread question, my porn collection is the same as Ian's except perhaps for a used copy of Nicholson Baker's The Fermata which was a gift.

I'll apologize belatedly for my 1.5-person perspective rant above since I know well enough the topic's been covered here thoroughly in about fifty other threads.

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

ok that list of porn titles is gross, but i gotta say, orbit, if that chip on yr shoulder gets any bigger it'll be erik fucking estrada. it amazes me that you think something like your posts above could possibly do anything positive. if anything, it makes people defensive, hostile, and generally want to do the opposite of whatever the sanctimonious yenta who's yelling at them stands for.

Kind of like exactly what you're doing right now? Would it be easier for you if we sat around like bubbleheads with giant smiles when confronted with a list that cuts women down to holes that need filling? HAHA, OMG LOL TEAR ME A NEW ONE ROFFLE.

Feel better now?

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 24 June 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

well it is porn, yanno. if you're looking for something other than stuff about holes needing to be filled, you should probably not look to porn.

oops (Oops), Friday, 24 June 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

my ex's stories from behind-the-scenes were pretty vile, based around loads of coercion w/money and drugs, the misogyny of the money guys, and how pretty much everyone at her level was cut down to a pay scale ("You'll get 40 bucks for a BJ scene, 200 if you take it up the ass"). One time I came home and she was sitting outside, looking more miserable than I'd ever seen anyone. I hadn't seen her in a couple of months and I took her out for dinner and she kept going on about how she was a slut now and how awful she was and then she started telling me these stories. she said every girl she worked with was deeply unhappy and fucked-up.

Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Friday, 24 June 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Porn is right up there with drugs, alcohol, gambling, and all the other vices: people really need to sit down and remember that while yes technically everybody has the right or should have the right to do whatever horrible shit they want to with themselves as long as it doesn't directly harm someone else, that doesn't make it perfectly acceptable in society.

If somebody wants to point out that "brian braindead" is alienating himself from society at large by collecting a bunch of horrid-sounding garbage she's perfectly right, I mean I've had friends who had huge porn collections but I've never had friends with huge porn collections who I didn't also worry about a little bit, and who weren't talked about behind their back as being shut-in weirdos with disturbing proclivities. It's no different from having a bad drug or booze habit, if someone came along and listed all the drinks they've had in the past week and it was similarly excessive I doubt folks would get so quickly on the defense (though there was that thread where somebody called ILX a bunch of alcoholics and we did kinda flip out, er)

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

Hey Oops, thanks for the tip, dude. But I'm talking about the overtly degrading and sometimes-violent language, not to mention the focus on "just over 18" girls. I watch porn, believe me, and I enjoy it... in doses. But that list was kinda um, fucked.

While it seems unlikely that I'll be purchasing a copy of "Sweetness IV: Lovely People Who Really Like One Another And Enjoy Slow Missionary Sex" anytime soon, anything that seems to focus on humiliating the woman is an enormous turn-off. Usually makes me want to go beat the shit out of those guys. And there's A LOT of that out there.

I've had friends who had huge porn collections but I've never had friends with huge porn collections who I didn't also worry about a little bit, and who weren't talked about behind their back as being shut-in weirdos with disturbing proclivities

I feel this is right and proper.

Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 June 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

got a couple of dvds and mags, all from the collection of a friend who OD'd a couple of years ago. how depressing is that?! not enough to keep me from looking at them occasionally, i guess. the best dvd is one called _buttman's ultimate workout_, which, if the case is to be believed, was like the best selling title that year or something (late 90s?).

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 24 June 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

for some reason porn on vhs seems more creepy to me, like you have to have a moustache to watch porn on vhs

haha TOTALLY

That being said, all my p()rn is on VHS. I have this one bizarrely-titled "All Little Women #3" (I guess the women in it are all short or something?) that has an even more bizarre scene which I think is supposed to be set in Poe's The Masque Of The Red Death or something. Then there's like 5 Vivid Videos ones with all-female casts, and another that's completely unlabeled, which has the uniting theme throughout all the encounters of occurring in gardens or something. My ex girlfriend gave me all of these, because she thought it was weird that I didn't have any p()rn of any sort.

I don't own any porn! Though at one point a few years ago there was this mysterious porn VHS floating around my apartment that none of my sometimes-roommates or friends would own up to having brought over! I don't remember what it was called but it seemed pretty standard from the box. Also, someone (I do know who this someone was but I will not name names) left a copy of some magazine, maybe it was called something like Club, I dunno, anyway it advertised on the cover something along the lines of "Jenna Jameson sucks robot cock!" on the cover and there was a lot of roffles to be had over this, we weren't really sure why it was meant to be hot (she wasn't naked while doing it). But I threw these all out.

defend the indefensible: my porn collection!

not that anyone really cares but 90% of that list is no script bush league handicam strip and hump stuff not the porn groove slow mo soft lit fake tit big league w/story shit. i follow the girls i like - katja kassin, katsumi, ellen saint, brooke milano, keri sable, cashmere, jasmine byrne, daisy, cytherea, janet alfano, liliane tiger, katin, ashley blue, jayna oso, roxy jezel, jenna haze (until she got a bf and a contract and went lez-only), teagan presley (though she's got new boobs now to go with her major league contract and i've about lost interest), blah blah blah - and i basically like them cuz they're fresh looking, funny, and shamelessly do all sorts of nasty things. they're not doped out runaways raped on film or whatever and just cuz i jack off to a girl willingly taking two cocks in her ass for money doesn't mean i hate women. and even if i did hate women, i'm only hating them for like ten or fifteen minutes at a time! IN FACT all of those movies are pirated so in a sense i'm HELPING BRING DOWN THE EVIL EMPIRE! well i'm not subsidizing it anyway. and honestly, i'm a g3ntl3 l0v3r AND as an ilurxor, won't be attending any future faps or anything so nobody has to worry about standing with their butts to the wall lest i ravish them.

but yeah, i rarely have anything useful to contribute to ilx (not that this was particularly useful) and prefer reading the lot of you interact anyhow - i won't be coming out as a nu-c*ll*m or b3cky luc4s, etc. carry on!

Haha, that reminds me of an issue of Penthouse a friend of mine had a few years ago. The spread was this weird insect fantasy with the model fucking these huge wooden grasshoppers. One of the pictures was a clothed woman sucking off a wooden insect penis and I still can't figure out who that was meant to arouse.

Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

again, what is so wrong with barely 18? are we making the assumption that the viewer would be interested in barely 10, if the law allowed that? cause that's the assumption which puts the viewer/owner of such videos in the most negative light possible, and is thus par for the course around here.

You're crazy. Porno companies have to keep records on every star, and every film actually refers to where those records can be accessed by anyone who's interested. Fact is, most of those "teenagers" are probably closer to 28 than 18.

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

my own personal problem with porn is that most of that shit isn't erotic at all and fwiw a lot of the girls are having fun in those videos because they're fairly drugged up on all sorts of shit. my ex went to the house of this porn actress named Lexu$ and she offered her some coke, saying it would make her feel good and advised her to take it before every shoot, for a number of reasons. blech.

Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

no, we are not making that assumption. The Lolita fetish has been considered vaguely creepy and a basis for jokes for decades now, oops. Of course I don't actually need to point this completely obvious point out, especially in light of the fact that I just said that his pornography collection seems completely pedestrian and surely about 7000x times less disturbing than if his entire collection was nothing but old school Japanese punishment-bukkake films.

Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

my friend (no really, it is my friend not me. i don't rent or buy much porn) likes barely legal stuff cause the girls are way more likely to A) be young, meaning 18-24. it's nothing new or wrong for guys to like young, nubile women and B) have natural breasts.

so if you're not making that assumption, then what is so wrong with it?

I don't think anyone is arguing that porno stars aren't completely fucked in the head: they are. They're having sex for money on camera, sometimes to lots and lots of guys/girls/anything. Whether or not that can be shut out of your mind when you watch it is pretty vital to whether or not you'll enjoy porno.

We "open date" meat for freshness. All of our meat labels show a "pull date", or the last date the meat will be sold. This date allows you adequate time in which to use your purchase.

I don't find a difference. I've unapologetically visited adult bookstores and looked at porno on websites. I've even, :gasp:, gone to strip clubs.

Now buying a hooker? That's different. Haha.

Though the funniest thing I've noticed is that Girls Gone Wild offers a 30-day money back guarantee "if you are not satisfied for any reason" which seems to be begging for abuse.

Haha, an ex-roomate of mine signed up thinking he'd cancel but they make it IMPOSSIBLE (he's also pretty stupid). Every month a new video would come and he would swear he was gonna cancel his bank account.

Just wondering Je4nne, what is it about porno actively marketing that it features girls 18-24 that you find disturbing?

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

i'm glad you can condemn things by making huge assumptions! but yeah, i'm an asshole. whatever.

oops (Oops), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Alan, to answer your question re: "mature" porn -- By and large, older women who have been around the industry know what to expect from the business, both emotionally and otherwise. Young girls are pretty goddamn naive. They think they get to fuck for $$ and live it up rah rah rah. But it IS damaging. Read Jenna's book -- she talks about that more than once.

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Whether or not that can be shut out of your mind when you watch it is pretty vital to whether or not you'll enjoy porno

The odds in Vegas casinos are stacked! In favor of the house!!

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

To be honest with you Alan, it's not so much the 18 to 24 thing that it is the whole implication of violating or "breaking in" young flesh. It creeps me out.

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

My friend J0n is 21 but he looks like he's about 15. A creepy, middleaged co-worker approached him once and informed him "you could make a lot of money doing a 'certain type of pornography' where a guy as young-looking as possible has sex with a middle-aged woman, let's say in her 40s".

(I seem to have a lot of "friends" with porn stories!)

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Alan, not to speak for Je4nne as she's more than capable, but I would say to that is that it wouldn't necessarily be the "Barely Legal" porn 18-24 bracket but the more ambiguous "teen" advertising. More that, while you know just from LOOKING at the women (not to mention laws blah blah blah) that a good 99% of them are at least 24, they seem to want to leave that line blurred, storylines, manners of dress, speech, etc that would imply that girl is not actually "barely legal" at all. That's not a realm of "Barely Legal", "College Coeds", etc but, again, stuff that is more "YOUNG" or "TEEN." And if you fail to see why some people would be a little uncomfortable with that subgenre, I don't know how else to explain it.

xpost basically kind of the situation what Col1n just said.

>Alan, to answer your question re: "mature" porn -- By and large, older women who have been around the industry know what to expect from the business, both emotionally and otherwise.<

Not all those women have been in the industry for many years either. In fact, there's been a push by companies to find older talent thanks to the success of various "MILF" themed sites online. Still, you have to expect that the industry is going to push for younger talent (girls 35 and under) because that's what sells to most of the mainstream porn viewers.

>Young girls are pretty goddamn naive. They think they get to fuck for $$ and live it up rah rah rah. But it IS damaging. Read Jenna's book -- she talks about that more than once.<

Well, yeah. The list of dead porno stars is unimaginably wrong. And turnover is quite frequent: I remember hearing that the average porn starlet only does 6 films in a career. But its PORNO. Everyone knows what the deal is. Its not my fault that some people don't know until its "too late" just as it isn't my fault that some idiot is pushing heroin into their veins right now. Besides; if you're 21-25 and you want to watch girls your age in porno (what a giant leap that is), what's wrong with actively searching for that?

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I mean you guys realize that the seeming intent of the creators is kind of as important as whether or not the participants themselves are 18+/cartoon characters/robots/wooden grasshoppers, right?

Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

yeah that type of violent language is creepy and disturbing but it's not specific to barely legal stuff. i just think it's unfair to label someone who prefers barely legal porn a creep/disturbed/etc. well ok you can, but then you'd have to label anyone who likes hardcore stuff that way.

xpost like i said, thinking there's something wrong with someone who likes that subgenre is assuming the worst.

oops (Oops), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

And BTW porn never, ever markets itself as featuring girls that are "Sometimes as old as 24!!!", that's bullshit. It's always "HEY LAST WEEK SHE WAS NOT LEGALLY ABLE TO VOTE, CHECK OUT WHAT MY UGLY COUSIN DOES TO HER."

Saying that MILF sites exist is no excuse for this, the fact of the matter is that porn's advertising and marketing is all really fucking awful and more and more it seems to try and EMPHASIZE how exploitative and debasing it all is.

At least liquor ads tell you to fucking drink responsibly. It'd be one thing if they had a little label in the corner of the box that said "You know what your mother would think."

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

I understand that having 50 year old men lusting after 20 year old women in porno may be somewhat discomforting...but its not like its some sort of new phenomenon. Or that it should be unexpected. Men are genetically predisposed to want such women because they're the most likely to create healthy children. Call me jaded or whatever, but that's the way I look at it.

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

i remember how via a lot of porno mags I found out about Savannah and how she was this huge megastar and what-not, but it wasn't until a few years later that I found out she'd blown off her face with a shotgun. a commodity even in death, with no mention of that death so as not to get the dudes limp.

Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

Depends on what kind of person you are, I guess. I've never had that difficulty. Perhaps it would if you tried to put some sort of emotional stake in the actress or film, but I can't see how it would matter otherwise.

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

Gear OTM. Perhaps I've read too much about sex crimes and sex tourism to imagine that the lot of these girls/women are a-okay in the head. But hey, the porn stars who feel empowered with two dicks in their ass and two in their mouth are more than fine by me. If she's getting off and enjoying herself and loving her work, good for her.

If you don't want to watch people getting fucked, don't watch porno. That's what porno is. It should stop trying to pretend that its an "artform" or whatever and just be honest with itself. That's why I'd rather watch a Elegant Angel or Anabolic vid than a Vivid anyday. No pretension; here's girls, and they're having sex. Take it or leave it.

>At least liquor ads tell you to fucking drink responsibly. It'd be one thing if they had a little label in the corner of the box that said "You know what your mother would think."<

What is a porno box going to say? "Please Masturbate Responsibly. And Don't Bust A Nut On Your Girlfriend's Face"?

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

If given a choice between a vid featuring drugged-up, unhappy, exploited women and one featuring sober-thinking, happy, in-control women (behind the scenes at least. meaning they may be being dominated in a scene but not away from the camera), I think guys would choose the latter. If not, then they are a disturbed creep.

oops (Oops), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

I know it's impossible (and I'm pretty sure the market for "thought, concerned porno lovers is pretty small) if there were a porno equivalent to 'fair trade' coffee.

Perhaps it would if you tried to put some sort of emotional stake in the actress or film, but I can't see how it would matter otherwise.

The fact that women are human beings and not semen recepticles is the first thing that springs to my mind. But generally, porn discourages such thinking.

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

Again, I'd like to point out that storylines and intents matter here, regardless of whether or not the woman is drugged up or not.

Well, yeah. No one wants to watch some girl who's slurring her words and falling over. I also don't have the time to go online and read porno gossip to find out who's a cokehead and who isn't (though its likely everyone is, just like 10 or 20 years ago). So if they aren't, I don't care. Like I said, there's no real emotional stake in it.

Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

the porno equivalent to fair trade coffee is having sex with a consenting partner. possibly with all the lights on in the room.

TOMBOT, Friday, 24 June 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

I think that's more like the porno equivalent to getting enough sleep and eating a healthy breakfast.

C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

FWIW, I don't care if a woman is portrayed as a "semen recepticle" as long as she's portrayed as a semen recepticle who is totally into it and totally wants to do this and is really enjoying whatever weird fetish they all into in that there photograph. It's the rather alarming amount of pornography where women are portrayed as being coerced, tricked, pressured (or worse, depending on genre) into being semen recepticles that really startles and bothers me. It's a fucked up message, here's this girl who didn't wanna do shit with the guy(s) and oh no now she's having an orgasm!!

This has utterly nothing to do with barely legal type porn and why I tried to point out that, while there is a creepy undercurrent of not legal subgenre, it's really not particularly bad in comparison to a lot of shit out there.

Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 24 June 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

Exactly. I have a real girlfriend who I actually care about. If something happens to her, I feel sympathetic. A person that I've seen on tape getting railed by a couple guys dying of cocaine overdose or liver failure? I didn't know them as a person in any way shape or form (other than watching them have sex for 15 minutes), so it doesn't really connect with me. No different than a lot of folks in the music, theater, or film industry.

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 24 June 2005 19:08 (twenty years ago)

I think a lot of the problem with all types of pornography is that if it's not offensive in some manner, it's completely silly! There's like .001% that doesn't fall into those two categories, I dunno how people don't get bored to death of trying to find pornography that suits them.

Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 24 June 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

the difference, it could be argued, is that they're fucked-up because of porn, or that porn is a manifestation of other issues in their life or in their past. so in essence one might be getting off on something that is a result of/leads to a great deal of trauma.

playing devil's advocate, to a degree, here.

Gear OTM upthread -- my friend's mother works in reconstructive gynecology in the San Fernando Valley, and the horror stories she has are enuff to scare anybody off porn for a very, very, long time.

All that being said, and with respect to Ally for excellent points, I think for a lot of older men with less-than-satisfactory sex lives the fantasy of a come-guzzling cheerleader (barely! legal!) takes on some emotional significance that isn't nearly as creepy as it's widely perceived. Teenager-sex (and its depiction in situations where all parties are clearly willing, of age, and able) is one of those nostalgic notions that seems to grow more profound as one gets older.

The promise of young flesh! and unbridled passion! and wild times! has a basically universal appeal. And if reinforcing the notion of its illegality by thumping up against 18 U.S.C. Section 2257 is a turn on, so what? That's not really perverted, it's like horniness for the halcyon-days.

this video store I used to go to up in the SFV--Odyssey Video--had a pretty huge porn room in the back, and if I went there in the morning before work to get some DVD for the evening, there would always be a posse of old guys with stacks of porn tapes in those big oversized boxes, either returning them or checking out. Every time one of them would check out the guy behind the counter would say, "See you tomorrow!" Weird thing is, I don't imagine they'd have a wank to the porn, I imagine they just sit in their apartments, shades drawn, totally clothed, smoking a cigarette, just watching.

The sales clerk looked in the database to see where it was, and she said "it's in the gay section in the back," so I went and didn't find it under the little gay cinema sign.

I went to the clerk and told her that it wasn't there, and she chided me for looking in the wrong place. She took me to the BACK gay section (not queer mainstream cinema, this, but blue stuff like 'Sphincter Soldiers' and 'Thai Cum Festival' and she put the video in my hand. It wasn't 'Fucking Amal,' but 'Fucking Them All' and it had a photocopied cover of a man in a dinner jacket standing in front of a party of other beefcake men, all wearing smoking jackets and / or tuxes. I got really embarrassed, and explained that what I was looking for was a little movie about Swedish girls falling in love. She speared me with a gaze, and told me that she wasn't sure they stocked anything like that.

I didn't go back for like two week.

When I went to an adult store I was kinda shocked to find two (suicide-esque) girls working there. They were criticizing the "One Night in Paris" tape. I flipped through the Jenna book and I think it probably tells the story of many if not all porn stars, women who were never loved or abused thinking they can get paid for what they put up with in real life anyway and getting famous from it, and just getting screwed by the system. That said, I really don't like amateur stuff because I do wonder why these young girls are there, but the stuff with established stars is good by me. That said, I really don't think anyone on ILX is going to confess to liking beastiality or snuff or anything, and like Ally said the barely legal stuff is pretty mild in comparison.

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 24 June 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

A couple of my friends are suicidegirls folks, and they're very psyched about it. But they also don't have sex with people on camera. (Also apparently the F/M ratio of subscribers on SG is way WAY higher than most porn sites, surprise.)

Glossiness, meanness, the "despoiling innocence" setup, how-far-can-we-push-you power dynamics, and fake tits all turn me way, way off, which means there isn't a whole lot of porn I like. And when I find something I do like, I don't feel the urge to keep it around. God knows I collect enough stuff.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 June 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

Would it be easier for you if we sat around like bubbleheads with giant smiles when confronted with a list that cuts women down to holes that need filling?

uh:
(a) my criticism wasn't of "womankind" ("we") but of orbit herself (which is one of her main rhetorical tricks by the way, to make any attack on her an attack on ALL WOMEN) (if you doubt me look at that list of links chaki posted on ILM),
(b) i said the list was gross, and
(c) there's a world of room between orbit's "sexist pigs" and yr idea of bubbleheadery. example: "looking at that list makes me feel like crap" or even "dude, how can you watch shit with titles like that? it makes the women sound like they're etc".

see why that's better? starting a conversation, even an angry one, instead of a one-liner that calls someone a piece of shit? i'd have done the same for orbit, had she not burned that bridge preemptively.

also: many, many, many men are most attracted to women between the ages of 16-24. (i want to say "most men", i believe it's true.....but i can't back that up.) it is their faces, their bodies, that turn those men on the most. it has ever been and will always be thus; it wouldn't surprise me if there's a biological basis for it. and no amount of handwringing and namecalling will ever change that.

that said i agree that "the whole implication of violating or "breaking in" young flesh" is creepy, sure. (though it's also in the way it's put: who isn't turned on by the idea of giving someone pleasure for the first time? so, a rose by any other name? well, not really.)

it pisses me off, too, that in these conversations no one ever talks about the consumers of porn in any kind of compassionate way. for every stockbroker or sales rep who ignores his wife in favor of a whack-off night with "anal adventures #37", there's a janitor who turns to porn because no one has ever said "yes" to him. in the middle of all the anti-porn, anti-sex work, anti etc. rhetoric, i'm still waiting for someone to explain what the people who are ugly/lonely/broke/shy are supposed to do with their sexuality. masturbating isn't very much fun when you have no hope; porn is an escape, helping you pretend for a moment that someone beautiful might want you, someday.

(of course it's also a trap, as tom pointed out.)

who isn't turned on by the idea of giving someone pleasure for the first time?

"A man wants to be a woman's first love; a woman wants to be a man's last romance." -- Oscar Wilde. I think that's overly broad but it sprang to mind.

I have been with one virgin and it's not really my style. I prefer a woman who knows what she wants, but I can understand the attraction someone might have for a person who was a tabula rasa sexually speaking.

the abusive language of porn titles (Cum Guzzling Crack Whores Vol. 77) disturbs me more than 'barely legal' (which really amounts to little more than a marketing gimmick as alluded to by oops - it's just a way to differentiate between the Vivid blond-hair/fake-breasts style and 'natural')

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Friday, 24 June 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

To paraphrase Chuck Klosterman, "Barely Legal" is porn-ese for "Any slim, small-breasted, pig-tailed woman between the ages of 18 and 30".

I find SuicideGirls objectionable because my understanding is that the models aren't (for the most part) getting paid - they're volunteers/doing it for the weblog & name. Someone's making a lot more money, it should be the models.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 25 June 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

From Baltimore City Paper:

The laborious screening process for new models also helps to weed out the girls who are interested in posing nude for the wrong reasons, such as money (the SuicideGirls are paid nicely for their photo sessions, $200 per hour to be exact) or to get back at their ex-boyfriends.

jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 25 June 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

2 entries found for ad hominem.


ad hom·i·nem     P   Pronunciation Key  (hm-nm, -nm)
adj.
Appealing to personal considerations rather than to logic or reason: Debaters should avoid ad hominem arguments that question their opponents' motives.


[Latin  : ad, to + hominem, accusative of hom, man.]
ad homi·nem adv.
Usage Note: As the principal meaning of the preposition ad suggests, the homo of ad hominem was originally the person to whom an argument was addressed, not its subject. The phrase denoted an argument designed to appeal to the listener's emotions rather than to reason, as in the sentence The Republicans' evocation of pity for the small farmer struggling to maintain his property is a purely ad hominem argument for reducing inheritance taxes. This usage appears to be waning; only 37 percent of the Usage Panel finds this sentence acceptable. The phrase now chiefly describes an argument based on the failings of an adversary rather than on the merits of the case: Ad hominem attacks on one's opponent are a tried-and-true strategy for people who have a case that is weak. Ninety percent of the Panel finds this sentence acceptable. The expression now also has a looser use in referring to any personal attack, whether or not it is part of an argument, as in It isn't in the best interests of the nation for the press to attack him in this personal, ad hominem way. This use is acceptable to 65 percent of the Panel. ·Ad hominem has also recently acquired a use as a noun denoting personal attacks, as in “Notwithstanding all the ad hominem, Gingrich insists that he and Panetta can work together” (Washington Post). This usage may raise some eyebrows, though it appears to be gaining ground in journalistic style. ·A modern coinage patterned on ad hominem is ad feminam, as in “Its treatment of Nabokov and its ad feminam attack on his wife Vera often border on character assassination” (Simon Karlinsky). Though some would argue that this neologism is unnecessary because the Latin word homo refers to humans generically, rather than to the male sex, in some contexts ad feminam has a more specific meaning than ad hominem, being used to describe attacks on women as women or because they are women, as in “Their recourse... to ad feminam attacks evidences the chilly climate for women's leadership on campus” (Donna M. Riley).

i think the thing thats weird about porn (online porn at least, anyway) is it seems to be all tied up with puritanism with an undercurrent of violence. the girls often seem to be presented as 'stupid whores', and the subtext seems to be punishment/domination. is this an american thing do you think? or is it also prevalent in european/british stuff?

the phrasing of stuff, like banging etc, seems to follow as well. things are done 'to' the girl, not 'with' the girl. so perhaps its an undercurrent of power dynamics also. for all the arguments about 'its just people having sex', its not actually presented that way at all is it?

My theory: Novelty is obviously important here, but I also think some of this emerges from a distorted version of performance-anxiety. A suspicion that the sex is routine and effortless with veteran pornstars. Oral sex as uninvolved and thoughtless as chewing on the end of a pencil.

So a kind of porn develops whose purpose is to ensure that the sex must have some effect on the girls. From the mainstream emphasis on anal and multiple penetration to the more extreme depictions of coercion and violent humiliation.

This is depressing, but this kind of porn's popularity doesn't necessarily imply that its consumers are uniformly sadists/misogynists. I really think that if it were possible to visibly prove that a woman was having a real orgasm then there wouldn't be so much of this stuff, and more porn would be devoted to women demonstrably in pleasure. But it's not (usually) possible, so the only way to effect clear unfakable emotion is the reverse of pleasure.

tired of the schtick and EK are both pretty OTM. a lot of u guys sound like grannies btw. (ps. not a dis)

a lot of the points made here are really valid, but I can't really go along with the conclusions drawn from them. it's pretty much undisputable that any girls getting into porn are doing so as a result of a history of trauma/abuse/neglect etc., and the ones on the younger end of the spectrum are particularly easy targets for exploitation. and the constant oneupsmanship within the industry, the kind that results in (as has been pointed out) a web market where sites trafficking in human misery FLOURISH, is unsettling to say the least.

but, y'know what? I'm a 19-year old guy. I need to masturbate CONSTANTLY. If my mom died today, I would be stroking it within hours of hearing the news. were you to open the door to my bedroom, you would probably be washed into the street by a tidal wave of semen. I guess what I'm leading up to is the old canard about how porn will always be around and there's nothing to be done about it, which adds pretty much nothing to the discussion. and, y'know, maybe one day when I'm like 30 and my testosterone levels start to drop I won't really need ("need") porn. in the meantime, when I start to feel weird about what is (at a base level) exulting in human wreckage, I just kind of have to brush it off. it's comparable to the Nikes I wear - I'm ok with a few lobster-clawed mofos in ho chi minh city as long as things don't cost triple or more because of increased production costs. it sucks for them, but guess what nikka?

This is something I was talking about the other day! Not on ILX, in real life (oh no!). That, I mean, before everyone had the internet, I mean people still masturbated. Maybe even a LOT! And, I mean, every single one of us knew that one kid who's dad had a ginormous porn collection, but it was only the one kid, it wasn't everyone's dad. It wasn't like everyone you knew somehow scammed out thousands of Playboys and Hustlers, or everyone had this super easy access to porn. Yet I bet they still masturbated.

"I don't see how Ade's point much comes into the discussion at all, anyway, it's not like anyone here actually said that all porn should be done away with or something."

you're right, nobody really said that. I just felt defensive after reading the whole thread, which is probably more revealing than anything. :[

"That, I mean, before everyone had the internet, I mean people still masturbated. Maybe even a LOT! And, I mean, every single one of us knew that one kid who's dad had a ginormous porn collection, but it was only the one kid, it wasn't everyone's dad. It wasn't like everyone you knew somehow scammed out thousands of Playboys and Hustlers, or everyone had this super easy access to porn."

they just sound deprived to me dude. :'( yeah, rennaisance niggas didn't "need" (scarequotes DO YOU SEE) porn, but they got by without flat-screen TVs pretty ok too. doesn't really mean ppl were better off like that. i've mbated tons of time without porn - when camping, on field trips, in taco bells. It's not difficult, but with the option of pron why would I want to stick with my shitty imagination? Is the cavalcade of huge cocks I could IMAGINE really gonna be much more fulfilling than the ones I see onscreen?

but i'm sure there's a good point to be made about how exposure to mountains of porn is effecting today's 14-year old dudes, just like exposure to too much games and TV can overstimulate little kids. or something.

"The idea of writing stories to later masturbate to is actually kind of charming to me and if I found out a man had done that I'd think it was a bit cute. That is quite a lot of effort and imagination and thoughtfulness put into this. You could give them to girlfriends! This is funny cos I actually find the whole sex stories genre to be by and large a little creepy!"

that sounds like a chick thing to me. there are a lot of women who like porn, but ultimately most of them (a lot of them? I can't really back this up) (shockingly!!!!!) can't really wrap their heads around why guys are drawn to it - this isn't a bad thing, it's just a difference in our arousal mechanisms. i know that wasn't really your point, but I needed an excuse to patronizingly address the female perspective.

dude OTM re: taco bell! Anyway, chill, yo.

re: last point vis a vis females, I'm pretty sure the reason why most women can't wrap their heads around this has a whole lot less to do with differing mechanisms than it does with having absolutely no ability to identify with a good portion of the easiest-to-find porn (think about it, the men are generally faceless or peripheral, just dudes calling this vaguely mechanical, emotionless girl a slut or a whore, there's not really like any attempt to pleasure her, she's pretty much meant to start shrieking and orgasming from, like, proximity to penises I guess--I mean it's kind of difficult to identify with, or just ignore these aspects, if you can put yourself in the place of the object of the scenario).

Anyway this has really gone completely off-track cos I'm pretty sure neither myself nor Je4nne earlier were trying to say people shouldn't read pornography, period. Just that a lot of the excuses made are kind of crap and maybe, just maybe, some of it isn't really healthy to be overexposed to.

Anyway you don't need to be this defensive cos you aren't, like, sitting there blaming the industry for your choices or just stating absolute bullshit like "Well I'm sure I'd watch much more positive pornography if that existed!" (haha wtf do you people think people like myself or Je4nne (presumably) are watching? "Oh god, 15-Year-Old Slutwhore Anal Gangbang #27 is disgusting and debasing!!! #13 was a lot better!" Or is it assumed that we're sitting around watching Playboy bunnies hug each other, naked? Let's be serious here) or going off on how there is no way whatsoever that a person's choices of entertainment could ever say something about the person in question etc etc, so I dunno why yr getting het up, it's like you and the dude with all the anal Latina gangbangs are the most honest fuckers here!

i think it probably appeals to a core 10-20%, guys for whom that type of porn is their main outlet and who get off on the powerplay/humiliation/object angle, maybe because of issues with women, maybe for other reasons. either way, i'd hazard a guess that this 20% of the market buys 80% of the porn. (not watches, but buys.)

it also of course is shocking to many other people, which makes them click on the links just out of curiosity = referral clickthroughs.

i can't relate, personally, as this stuff is a big turn-off for me. with occasional exceptions, the only porn i really enjoy these days is girl-on-girl porn, where at least some of the time, it looks like they're honestly having fun. sapphicerotica.com is ok, but it often is really stagey and stiff. abbywinters.com is better, actually probably the best porn site i've seen.

oh, the answer to the question: not me. i have about 20-30 mpegs, almost all girl-on-girl porn, all of it short clips downloaded for free. i've only bought porn once, a video that i never watch.

and i often watch porn when i masturbate, not because i "have no imagination", but because on the contrary, it helps to keep me from imagining things that make me sad: memories of exes, mainly, and thinking thoughts of loneliness and unhappiness.

"admiration" in this sense is the same kind of "admiration" involved if/when I find out somebody I know "used to be on the 2nd-best counterstrike team nationwide" or "is in a travelling morris dance troupe"

BEST THING EVER SAID

Ally you don't think it's a lot easier to find porn that is offensive and degrading to women, and that in order to find "feminist-approved" porn you'd have to nearly make it a hobby?

No, oops, I'm not talking about "feminist-approved" porn and I'd like it if you didn't put words in my mouth in the future. There is porn out there in virtually every single genre that does NOT involve constantly calling the female object a whore or a slut and where the woman doesn't appear drugged out, bored, or worse variations on the general theme. If I could figure out how to do a link to specific examples on porn sites without it just redirecting you to the main pages I would do so, right now, but for christ's sake if an only occasional consumer like myself can find bukkake piss porn where the woman is not being called a whore, is laughing and having a great time, and the whole thing comes off like a generally healthy expression of a weird fetish (regardless of what is actually going on behind the scenes, yes) and not like the woman is being punished or abused, exhibitionist slut getting what is coming to her, then for fuck's sake your average male internet porn consumer (ie someone who is doing this a lot more often than I am and probably knows a helluva lot more sites) shouldn't have a very difficult time finding these things in any genre!

I'm not talking about this for-women, by-women porn. I'm talking about pretty easy to find hardcore where the women are treated as having at least one iota of respect in the situation, that the fact that they're enjoying it is as important as the fact that 18 HUGE BLACK COCKS COME IN BARELY LEGAL LATINA'S FACE OMG WTF.

Hahaha what's funny is that the genre of porn that started this whole debacle, the barely legal shit, seems like, in my experience, more likely to minimize the slut-whore-deserves-it angle, mainly I guess for that whole marketing thing someone talked about, I mean a guy who is pretty exclusively searching that out, well I think a bunch of college cuties giggling and doing raunchy things is gonna get him off more than calling them whores and sluts and a bunch of other depictions that are highly questionable is gonna.

I have never seen, to my knowledge, for-women by-women "feminist-approved" pornography.

gareth is basically OTM.

I mean, it's pretty easy to make a choice between looking at the site where the women are being referred to as "cum whores" right on the front page and any number of other pages that leave out that angle. The choice is anyone's to make but yeah, the prevalence is a little disconcerting vis a vis the market and I mean you can't sit there and pretend that the choices you make don't reflect on you in some way. I mean, pretty much everyone (except, apparently, oops, cos you always come on every thread from fashion to porn and point out how shallow it is to judge people on their choices in these things, so you are exempt from this) makes snap judgements based on their knowledge of another person's tastes and preferences, if a person watched E! every single night you'd think something about them based on what you know about others who did that, your opinion of their programming, etc. It's disingenuous to say that a person's preferences don't say something.

I guess, what I am getting at here, is that the most infuriating thing about this thread isn't the people who sit there and just rail out, this is what I like, so fucking what. I mean, in the end hey takes balls to do it, I'm sure there's plenty of things in your chosen genre that are redeemable (as I already said), etc. It's the people who are presenting it like there's no choice to be made here, it doesn't say anything about anyone, "Don't blame me, blame the porn industry." Do I want people to choose less negative porn? Hell yes. Like I said, if I can't pretty easily find it, so can anyone else! None of you are victims. You all make a choice, you all contribute to the problem at hand here, the creation of all this porn that supposedly turns y'all off and you'd prefer better shit, as soon as you make the decision to view and enjoy abusive things. ("you" is the universal "you" blah blah blah)

Which is, you know, whatever you wanna do, but let's call a spade a fucking spade here.

Actually, Ally's whole post OTM.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

jody otm. as soon as i sense that there's something manufactured about it, i lose interest.

Eep, no way! I love manufactured porn just as much as *real* porn. (Then again is anything ever *real*.) I love the blown-up tits a lot. Still want to check out gay-porn, something I haven't done yet. Nor porn videogames. Hmmm.

I always find it amusing when people reply to my pro-porn/feminist statement that it's contradictory. Why do people still think in such conservative ways?

I guess I read/write more about/on porn than I actually watch it because of non-personal reasons. I'd probably watch it more, but for now I just read about it. I do download from time to time - in *spurts* - and tend to focus on celeb amateur porn. I just love the friction between the celebrity and amateur character of those tapes. I'm not a big fan of the Max Hardcore school - it just doesn't do me anything - nor Marquis de Sade - I can understand his value, but I just don't enjoy his writing. I watched my first porn film when I was about ten, I think. My most active period was from the age of about 14 to 15 yrs old. It was just easier to get ahold of (the movie channel aired porn from about 12 to 2 am). I still remember it fondly: sneaking in the living-room and watching porn.

I just bought the Mitchell Bros bio for aout 7 dollars. *YAY* Also, there's an entertaining interview with Jenna J in Forbes mag. I haven't checked out her website (yet).

Not taking potshots at you blackmail, BUT:
If I ever found myself in a position to have my photograph taken at one of these expos with a random pornstar, I would totally try and get them to stand and look uncomfortable while I leered and posed provocatively.
Otherwise, who the hell are you gonna show those kinda pix to? Your younger cousin?

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 1 August 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

I guess the difference was that I was actually working. That wasn't some euphemism. The booth I'm standing in was where I spent quite some time - I was so tired after peddling DVDs etc that I couldn't really be bothered. And if you saw Tera's husband, (who stars on Oz and was in Biohazard) you'd probably think twice before getting out of line. Oh, and no nudity was allowed at the show, unless it was on a television screen and previously recorded.

blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Monday, 1 August 2005 03:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I know man. I'm just saying that the tradition of having your picture taken with the buxom ladies at any geeky convention (and I hope you'll agree that porn has definite geek connotations) is pretty lame. Unless you're, like, hanging out and taking pictures for your scrapbook together. But I'm pretty anti-photo anyway.
It's the acne.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 1 August 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

Don't worry Forksclovetofu - those pictures are reserved for the January convention in Vegas. I ought to get a picture with all the contract girls from Wicked Pictures while I'm there.

and i often watch porn when i masturbate, not because i "have no imagination", but because on the contrary, it helps to keep me from imagining things that make me sad: memories of exes, mainly, and thinking thoughts of loneliness and unhappiness.

This just broke my heart.

Abbott, Saturday, 26 July 2008 03:54 (seventeen years ago)

thing is, in california, all the jock grrls are like this -- wholesome and built and tanned and wooo00t. there was a grrl b3cky b0rden in HS who was on par with this grrl. She played volleyball. If you look for some of the other picts (I did) she's a cuet, sweet looking girl. that one picture with the pole on her shoulder just happens to make her look amazonian and stacked.

PappaWheelie V, Saturday, 26 July 2008 12:19 (seventeen years ago)

my own personal problem with porn is that most of that shit isn't erotic at all and fwiw a lot of the girls are having fun in those videos because they're fairly drugged up on all sorts of shit. my ex went to the house of this porn actress named Lexu$ and she offered her some coke, saying it would make her feel good and advised her to take it before every shoot, for a number of reasons. blech.

Um, what's the couch?

libcrypt, Saturday, 26 July 2008 17:20 (seventeen years ago)

I remember the thread about the guy whose slutty housemate was boning some guy on the couch and it was his couch and he was kinda pissed about it but afraid to come out of his room and he eventually did and embarassed some peeps and ilxblogged it all live.

Is that it?

libcrypt, Saturday, 26 July 2008 17:21 (seventeen years ago)

It wasn't gear doing the coke-feeding in that post, FWIW, rather a friend/porn actress plying it to his ex.

Matt, Saturday, 26 July 2008 17:31 (seventeen years ago)

this is an interesting thread, though, Ally talks a lot of sense on it, I think I fall into the slightly disturbed by emphasis on girls ages camp, tbh, I don't fully understand why people don't find it creepy, also the whole slut/coersion thing is just plain wrong, again, not finding it so is a little odd

I don't personally have anything against porn (so long as everyone involved seems to be enjoying themselves) , my wife's pretty anti though, and I respect her reasons, so I suspect I'm not in the running
