On the porn industry

Getting started, I thought I'd blog a bit on the topic of sex, the thought being that everyone can relate to it. Then again, that's not really the case, so I'll rant a bit about porn instead. Let's face it, even if you're a 34-year old virgin named Kenneth living with your mother in a basement in Bournemouth, or perhaps especially if that description fits your persona, you know porn, probably through, shall we say, hands-on experience.

Personally, I've never really understood porn. What's the point of watching others copulate if I myself am feeling horny? I mean, if I'm hungry, I want food. I don't turn on The Food Network to watch others eat (ok, perhaps a poor choice of words). My friend doesn’t understand me. He says, when hungry, have a hamjob.

I also have problems understanding why porn is seemingly never mentioned in any discussions what-so-ever as being illegal. The fact that perplexes me is, if you pay someone for sex, you’re breaking the law. If you pay someone for sex and TAPE IT, you’re free to go. No questions asked. Except, perhaps, "Can I get a copy?". I read an interview with a pornstar once, and the girl specifically stated that she “wouldn’t have sex with just anyone”. She apparently only went happy hour with "established male actors". Sorry dear, but that just means you’re a prostitute with standards.
