Anyway this is just a random musings post. At work we had a software security product demo by a guy who used to work for VeriSign. He mentioned that the whole reason the company got off the ground was the Internet porn boom. So I started thinking about porn (it was a really boring presentation).
I have to say that beyond my teenage years I've never been a huge fan. Sure I've watched (or rather, used) pornography but a couple of things always struck me
- Really, how many angles of people having sex can there be? And with that kind of extreme closeup, you could probably use latex Muppets and it would look the same (although I understand there are segments of society that has that sort of thing as a preference...)
- .. and with the volume of silcon enhancements (both male and female) it's getting darn close to that.
- The sex always seems more mechanical than erotic. And so bloody predictable. And you know how it's going to end...
- At the back of my mind there is always one thought: I'm not getting any and those two (or more) are paid for it. It's their means of getting a paycheck. People arrange for them to have sex with little or no effort on the performers own (until the camera rolls). Imagine the following scene on the set:
Man With Hair Implants: Excuse me? Are you Mr. Scoreseasy? The director?
Mr. Scoreseasy: Why yes! And you must be Woody Tripod. Ready for today's
shoot?Man With Hair Implants: Sure am! Who am I working with today?
Mr. Scoreseasy: Well, Sonia Slicks in the first scene, then the Bosom Twins
in the pool scene. And Lisa Lollypop in the final scene.Man With Hair Impants: Hey I like Lisa, she has some great recommendations
from her book club!
And can you imagine what would happened if you called in sick because you just don't feel sexy today?
