The Porn Industry

[satellite]

I guess I'm really out of the loop, I was checking the TV listings and realized that there's now a Club Jenna cable channel replacing what used to be Hotnet/Spice on my cable system.

My cable company finally got gay porn on demand! It's like Christmas in June! It seems that Sleaze Motel Studs is actually something called Steel Trap and is old enough to start Kurt Stefano. I hope they show penetration unlike most cable porn.

Wow, really?

Yeah, I have Cablevision and personally I think it's long overdue. Though granted I've only noticed gay hotel porn since a year and a half ago.
Cablevision had only had these solo jack-off videos in their Playgirl TV or porn for women section, but it was kind of obvious who the real audience was so I'm glad they finally got on the ball. You can find the same thing online, but it's the principle of the thing.

With the spread of sites like Youporn and the like, is there really still a need for a "porn industry"? Everything is on the interwebs now. Hard copy magazines are practically irrelevant. New porn needs to die out anyway. It's uber gross with all the ridiculously malpositioned implants, tattoos, piercings, and Ken doll waxings. So, so unsexy.

And 90% of the time, there's no female orgasm. The lube is in sight, the man looks like some roided up freak, and the woman looks anorexic and bored. No plot, no dialog. I wouldn't waste a dime on a porno made after 1988.

When I was way, way too young to actually watch it, porn was boiling hot, now, uh-- . I feel sorry for any teen/preteen* trying to get sex tips watching this new crap.

Say what you will about Ron Jeremy, but at least he gave as
good as he got back in the day.


*The adults in my house went out a lot, and weren't very good at hiding the porn!

I just found this thread...

First, a very special thanks to bstewart for his insight. You're in porn? Who knew? Awesome.

My take on the subject: morally I have no objection to it as long as the participants are 1) of legal age and 2) consenting. I also share bstewarts opinion of barebacking. It's dangerous and exploitive and has left a long string of young males sick and dead.

Aesthetically I don't like the spitting, hitting, silicone, tattoos, piercings (I can appreciate body art but in porn it looks tacky), yelling, aggression, gagging... one of the most tasteless things I have seen was a woman giving a man a BJ and he reached down and plugged her nose. (!!!) Really? That's attractive?! I was so grossed out I couldn't watch anymore.

I like either a soft lit scene with clean, good looking participants in a relatively classy setting for the serious stuff and goofy 70's Swedish porn for a good laugh (a boyfiend and I saw one where two bonde grinning actors held hands and skipped through a field singing "la la la!" It was so bad it was awesome. From that point on whenever one of us wanted to crack the other up, we'd just sing "la la la!")

Also, I live in Seattle and each year we have an annual amateur porn festival/competition called HUMP! Clever, creative homemade porn seen in a theater full of people with a hilarious sense of humor just out to have some good, clean fun. It's the best thing ever.

Jenna Jameson assaulted by her husband.[/color]

Scumbag move for him if it's true. No one deserves that.

Is it true that there was legislation passed against barebacking in porn films? It might've just been a Web rumor.

That makes me so sad for Jenna Jameson. I read her book and I don't know, I just have a tender spot for her. She has had a hell of a life and she seemed so happy to have her babies. I had hoped for her that she'd found some real happiness and peace. She's a pretty interesting, intelligent woman from what I read. What an asshole.

They're both a mess..

Jenna Jameson has told two completely different -- and contradicting -- stories about the incident that led to the arrest of her baby daddy Tito Ortiz yesterday ... and they're both caught on tape.

When we first saw Jenna last night -- around 8 PM -- she adamantly stated that Tito did not lay a hand on her.

But a few hours later -- around 10 PM -- the story had changed ... and Jenna repeatedly referred to Tito as a "wife beater."

So what happened in the time span between her stories? Well, one minor thing -- around 9:30 PM -- Tito held a press conference in which the fighter claims he never touched her ... and insinuated that Jenna's injuries were the result of her alleged addiction to OxyContin.

Just one more case of - those poor babies.
