I don't think he has a problem with the acts depicted in the vids as much as the industry itself. Unless you're watching some stuff from a particular place like that or a pornstar you know has some buying power for herself it's a toss up what's really going on. It's gotten better though.

Ah. Well if that's what he's getting at, then alright.

 

[Midnight Bliss]

I almost considered recently signing up for this one porn site. Had never done it before but saw some of the videos and came across some of the "actors" and they happened to be hilarious as fuck. Or at least I thought so anyways. Not in a "bad-porn" type sense but just an awesome personality, really love what they're doing and enjoy acting it out sorta way.

Some of them seemed like total bros, would definitely high-five and brofist them if ever given the chance.

Might still do it eventually if I get bored enough. Supposedly you get to interact with them. Would ask if any of them play vidya games. Never know where you'll find new vidya game bros. Mite b cool.

Okay...that avatar is freaking me out.

Avatar made me lol

I don't watch porn because it is a sin.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I wonder if stores let you buy those using cash, for ultimate porn-anonymity.

You can get them from your bank.

 

[apocalidiot]

I wonder if stores let you buy those using cash, for ultimate porn-anonymity.

Isn't that the point?

 

[IamMattFox]

Is it even possible to pay for it?

I think one time I accidentally bought some porn.

 

[LordCanti]

Isn't that the point?

I'm not going to lie to you, I'm a bit tipsy, and the stupidity of questioning whether you could buy a prepaid card (which you'd only really need if you didn't have a card) with cash was not apparent to me when I posted that question.

I don't know. I actually paid for a month of porn once to see the difference.

I was a bit disappointed to say the least.

Was there proper 3D content? It really is kind of funny to watch.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

The only porn related stuff I ever bought was some pictures cards with naked girls when I was much younger.

 

[maomaoIYP]

There's some worth paying for.

 

[LakeEarth]

The only time I'm ever tempted is for sites for specific girls who are under the radar and wouldn't ever show up on a streaming site, or the ones that get immediately removed. Never have though.

 

[Rtas]

I don't watch porn because it is a sin.

If the man upstairs didn't want porn he wouldn't have made a naked chick and a naked dude and leave them to their own devices in a private garden. Properly sounds like an old 70's porno flick, only thing its missing is Adam being a plumber and Eve not having enough money, that and some smooooth bass lines

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

which part? The watching or the self-gratification?

 

[Sailor]

which part? The watching or the self-gratification?

I believe it's both.

 

[jaxword]

God hates penis.

So basically anything involving that is a no no.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

God hates penis.

Why would God hate penises?! lol

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I know I never have or will pay for it, how do these porn companies profit?

Aren't red states the highest in terms of porn related purchases?

 

[Aselith]

nm

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

God has no dick.

 

[LordCanti]

Either?

I really hope that "touched himself" is a check box on a list, and not a cumulative penalty type of thing.

Pornography is a thriving, financially profitable business. According to a 2004 Reuters article, "The multi-billion-dollar industry releases about 11,000 titles on DVD each year."[1] Pornographic films can be sold or rented out on video or DVD, shown through Internet and special channels and pay-per-view on cable and satellite, and in adult theaters.

Evidently!

 

[Ryaaan14]

I've been thinking about paying for some feminist porn site recently. I can find stuff that I like on some of the free sites, but it's vastly outnumbered by hypermisogynistic rape culture porn. I feel shitty using those sites when they're profiting off that.

Kittens you've gone too far. What the fuck lmao

 

[doctorcdcs]

newp.

I had free access to stuff when I was a SG (years ago) and the quality of the stuff I had access to is the same as the stuff I can find. FO' FREE.

Huh.

I can actually imagine you as that fat cat, eating a bag of chips on your back, after a long session of masturbating.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Me too lol

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

I do. I rotate subscriptions to the major online sites every three or four months. Gives me peace of mind.

I still download scenes that I haven't paid for. I also download scenes from companies I've never spent a dime with. In the end I'm not really any better than someone who refuses to pay at all, but everyone has their line. I guess that's mine.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Apparently some people can't get off on sub-720p porn. I don't get it either.

Too many jaggies and inferior graphics, bro.

[sleepykyo]

I know I never have or will pay for it, how do these porn companies profit? Ads? I see studio sites where they charge, but with the large amount of youtube like sites, why would anyone pay?

Have you ever payed for it? Would you?

I've purchased a couple of compilation vids before. Largely to have something that wasn't on streaming or in case my internet was acting up. Sadly the company is shutting down so I won't to be activate the vids on future pcs. Kind of sours my outlook on the digital future.

Evidently!

That was 2004 though, surely the numbers have to be lower now.

 

[Ties]

Never understood why people, celebrities associated with sex scandals in particular, pay for their porn when stream sites are always readily available.

 

[Omega]

I don't but I know someone who does. They say they don't want to get viruses and don't like low-quality.

 

[Mononoke]

More importantly, who uses those share buttons on porn sites? Does anyone?

Would be interested how many people actually tweet or facebook the material they masturbate to.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I don't but I know someone who does. They say they don't want to get viruses and don't like low-quality.

I understand the low quality (which isn't that low anyways), but viruses? I've never ever gotten a virus from a video site.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I believe it's both.

I was always under the impression the masturbating part was the problem, not the watching of lewd images. Idk, I'm sure both would piss off old testament God

God hates penis.

So basically anything involving that is a no no.

hahaha fair enough

"If this post gets 1,000,000 likes, Lisa Ann will have sex with me"

 

[BadAss2961]

I'm sure there's still plenty of people that pay. Thank god for them. We can't have the porn industry going under.

 

[nhlducks35]

His friend wasn't talking about video sites

 

[apocalidiot]

Then we will see the rise of amateur porn. Which is cool

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

ePorner + Videocacheview ftw

I've since stopped watching porn altogether though and have been doing NoFap lately. The glory days of my 300gb collection are behind me because I want an actual girlfriend.

 

[kittens]

Kittens you've gone too far. What the fuck lmao

I'm serious! How have I "gone too far"?

The vast amount of porn portrays women in hyper demeaning, degrading ways. They're cummed on, choked, beaten, tied up. All of those things are awesome, and I totally validate them, but they're only okay when serious consent practices are in place. Hell, I'm even okay with porn that depicts fake rape (though I feel like they need to add a disclosure letting people know it's fake and that real rapists should fucking die). The problem is that this is virtually ALL the porn that's out there. It's also hyper normative.

Where's the queer porn? Trans porn? Porn featuring women of color in ways that aren't fetishized and objectified? Porn featuring disabled peformers?

 

[Rtas]

So girl on girl is fine?

Are you actually serious? Virtually every porn/tube site has Gay (please don't use queer I have friends that find the incredibly degrading) and transexual porn. As for disabled porn actresses and actors, yet again I'm sure theres a niche for that, everyone has their fetish if that is yours I'm sure you'll have no problem in finding it on the internet.

 

[Evolution_1ne]

Okay...that avatar is freaking me out.

this

KaziLore is fucking trippy

 

[MormaPope]

A better question is does anyone here actually watch an entire porno movie? An assortment of pictures and clips seems more than enough to get your fill, entire movies are instantly boring once you get your business done.

 

[jaxword]

So girl on girl is fine?

Yeah.

Elword 6:9 "And God said, hey, lezzing out is damn hot, yo"

Why don't you have a seat over there.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

So girl on girl is fine?

there are kinds other than girl on girl?

 

[Rtas]

Yeah.

Elword 6:9 "And God said, hey, lezzing out is damn hot, yo"

And I do believe it was Ezdickiel who said " Damn those lezzies be fiiiiine!"

there are other kinds?

You have no idea, its glorious. Not that I view it or anything, my girlfriend is more than enough for me

 

[ronito]

I've often said if I could lead up a porn company I'd love to because the challenges are so interesting. I mean what other industry has to compete against free? And not only that, free that's often better. Pricing strategies and waterfalls and costing tactics mean nothing. That's really interesting.

 

[Sober]

Definitely not for "regular" porn, the typical stuff you find on the tube sites. If you're looking for something specific, then you probably have to pony up for it. Though if you can download it off them during that period, I suppose you could do something like pay twice a year and grab everything and work on that.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Where's the queer porn? Trans porn? Porn featuring women of color in ways that aren't fetishized and objectified? Porn featuring disabled peformers?

I'm not sure what internet you're a part of if you have trouble finding gay and trans porn. Or (female dominate) humiliation porn.

Disabled performers, sure. Kind of a weird thing to want represented more but I'll give it to you, that's pretty niche. But gay, trans, and female dominate porn? Those are significant portions of the industry.

 

[kittens]

I'm not just talking about gay porn -- I'm talking about all forms and expressions of queer identity.

Also, queer is a commonly accepted, all-inclusive term. Transexual, however, is seen by many as a term rooted in oppressive, harmful medical history, and most people prefer the term transgender.

Not being able to find those things is only one part of my concerns / critique.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Is feminist porn like kosher meat?

 

[Reversed]

In my preferences, amateur goes over anything. So no.
