Random Thoughts About Porn

This is an extended dance remix of an unreleased track from 2005

The other night on Veronica Mars  She was snooping around the school bully's house because he was the one thought to be sending bomb threats to Neptune High. An agent of the ATF had told Veronica that the bully, Norris, had a crush on her. Anyway, she finds a copy of Tight Petite Blondes or something like that and says, "I am so his type."

I said all that to say this; Do we buy porn that represents the type of women we like or is the type of women we like influenced by porn? I would say that I'm the former--it's more efficient that way. How many women out there look like the ones in Playboy? If that's your type you could drive yourself crazy trying to find someone that looks like that. I don't have anything against Playboy. It's like Banky said in Chasing Amy, "Sometimes I like 'em arty and air brushed."

Growing up in the 70s, if you were lucky, someones dad had a stash of Playboy in the attic. If you wanted the "good stuff" you had to visit an uncle. Uncles are good like that. So are brothers-in-law.

They almost always have the more explicit, if not hardcore, magazines. The girls weren't as pretty as the one in Playboy but that wasn't the point. The point was that you learned a whole lot more than you ever would in Sex Ed. The downside is that you knew even less about women. The only thing less likely than dating a Playboy model in real life was finding a woman who would do the stuff you saw in the hardcore magazines.

To make matters worse, the 1980s saw the rise of the VCR. It meant that you didn't have to go to some sleazy theater to watch an X rated film. You could do it in the privacy of your own home.

You can't be a child of the 70s and not know about Deep Throat.  When you learn about Watergate in high school look carefully at the teacher when he or she says, "Deep Throat." You can tell if they have seen the movie or not.

That's another thing that messes us up. We hear about Deep Throat,  Behind the Green Door, Debbie Does Dallas, The Devil in Miss Jones, and other X rated classics and the way they are described one would think that they are better than Star Wars. 

Before you become an adult porn is like alcohol--forbidden yet desirable. Also, you have to take what you can get. When you are old enough you can buy what you want. By then you should've developed your palate. However, you also develop a tolerance.

The Internet gives you far more choices than the local convenience store. The net  may be the best thing to have happened to the porn industry but it isn't always a good thing for humans.

You can drive yourself crazy on the Internet. You're always looking for more, more, more. Bigger breasts, bigger butts, bigger women, bigger penises, women with penises, bigger women with bigger penises. Whatever you desire you can find it. It's just that you always feel like the next website has something a bit better. It's gotten to the point where we make compromises on who we date and/or marry but we won't compromise on our porn.
