Seriously on the Prince thing. I once wanted to listen to "When Doves Cry" and could find NOTHING. Me, queen of finding nearly anything online- could not locate anything of his on the Interwebs.
While it sucks for people who use Youtube and whatnot in lieu of putting on a CD, you gotta admit that he seriously knows what he's doing when it comes to nixing the piracy of his work. #porn
@vitajex: Second that. Razor bumps, implant scars, cigarette wrinkles, hemorrhoids, bad dye jobs, faded tattoos... Do not want, do not want in HD. #porn
I adore Current and Vanguard in particular, but I skipped this episode because I've seen various incarnations of the subject a zillion times. I get it. Pr0n. People are into it. OKAY. #porn
Sometimes I feel like the only person on earth who doesn't care about porn. Actually, I actively dislike it. As far as I can tell, the only thing porn has done for my life is make every guy I've dated think I'd like a facial and pressure me for anal. Ugh. It's annoying and has created a culture that acts like you're lame if you're not turned on by other people fucking. #porn
@EarlyGrey: Hearted for that! Yeah, it's strange. I've dated guys who grew up pre-internet porn and known many who grew up in the midst of it, and the difference is startling. All of the younger guys have higher expectations of women loving anal sex and giving "performances" rather than being truly turned on by the intimacy.
(But actually, you know, we're just Prudey McPrudersons for not liking porn, even though we happen to love sex and would just rather be doing it ourselves rather than watching random strangers pretend to be turned on!) #porn
@smizmar: Based on my own experience, I can see how this would be true. My ex, in his mid-20's, wanted our sex life to be exactly like porn. EXACTLY. And while I do find some of that fun and exciting, it was tiresome to live up to that every. single. time.
But the guy I dated after him, who was in his mid-30's, was not like that AT ALL. It was more about connection for him.
This is just anecdotal evidence, but when I was with my ex, I knew that porn had a major influence on how he viewed me and our sex life. I was mainly just an object to fuck. He was clearly not a keeper. #porn
@EarlyGrey: Thank you so much for this. Exactly what you said regarding all the pressures. I find most porn to be creepy and women look like they're having the worst time. And don't forget the pressure to be hairless EVERYWHERE (the full brazilian, plus butt-crack). #porn
Interestingly, the porn industry is in the same boat as the music industry
I'm glad you said something about this, Latoya. I've noticed that autotune has been way overused in recently made professionally produced fuckfests. And I really think that it detracts from the quality of the product, and the spirit of pornography. #porn
@morninggloria: Please. Porn today is so manufactured and corporate. That's why I only watch indie porn stars. Otherwise known as my neighbors who don't draw their curtains before getting it on. #porn
@Justine: Licks your clit, of course! I'm too lazy to look it up, but there's a couple of videos on Behindkink.com where they show Tomcat talking about the chainsaw and him and Peter Acworth demonstrating its use while clothed. And LoveHoney just released "Sqweel", a smaller, compact toy with the same principle of "tongues" rotating and "licking" you.
Neither seem like they'd come close to oral sex for me, but you've got to give 'em props for creativity. #porn
Whatever Kink.com is doing to prevent pirating they're doing a great job. Their shit is awesome but really expensive. And the best you can get from free sites is the previews for scenes they themselves put on their own site. #porn
@Snowbunny: I've found some of their videos in their entirety before, but the sound and the video were not synched up, which threw off my enjoyment. #porn
@Snowbunny: I had a membership, and then when I decided to call it off to save some money, they knocked ten bucks off my monthly fee. Argh, those brilliant money-grubbing smut-peddlers! How did they know?! #porn
@Snowbunny: Seriously. I once found a complete Bound Gods video (Dante + Nick!) on Empflix, watched it, was hooked. By the time I had finished watching it and went to watch it again, it had been removed, but I was so impressed with their work that I went ahead and bought a subscription to the site (that went on for about half a year, until it finally drained all my porno funds). #porn
I put my sweats/pajamas on almost immediately once i get home. if my poor boyfriend bought me a pair of pajamas that he liked, i'd be psyched, because then i wouldnt feel like such a freakin sclub.
in my family we call them yummies because they feel SO YUMMY when you put them on.
We actually had two guys break into our house (yes, in broad daylight, without gloves) when I was 12 and home alone. I hid in the pantry, but I could see them trying to take our VCR (the VCR cable was a real bitch). They saw me, but luckily they were just a couple of small-time crooks and not psychos, because they left shortly thereafter.
Brinks would not have done a hell of a lot to help in that sitch.
@silentrationale: brave girl! i would have been hysterical. i try to image what i would do if somethng like that happened to me NOW, and i can only think of screaming and crying. i wouldnt be able to find a good hiding place in time.
To be fair (and I'm totally late to this thread and biased because we just got a Brinks system installed and I found them pretty awesome to deal with so far), all this talk of throwing shit, hairspray, guns, and dogs is all well and good, but it's not going to stop someone from breaking into your house. Our house was burglarized a few weeks ago and we have two dogs, lock all the doors and windows, and take all reasonable precautions to protect the house. It didn't matter. Luckily, my boyfriend got home when the dude was still in the house and chased him (didn't catch him, unfortunately) so the guy didn't get much, but holy hell that shit freaked me out and I am PISSED. Shelling out a little change every month for an alarm system has helped me NOT freak out and spend every minute worrying about my house (and most of all, the animals, who thank goodness weren't hurt or stolen -- it happens all the time around here -- and didn't escape through the broken window or an open door). Plus we got all the shit put in for FREE.
So I don't love the commercials, but don't let them piss you off so much you think you're invincible and able to defend yourself against shit you might not be able to prevent.
