A few mornings ago at my coffee meetings (of all places), there was a group of us sitting around talking about various and sundry things. Somehow, we got on the topic of pornography. Now, I'll preface this by saying this is a very liberal group. Artists, recovering hippies, philosophy majors, and unemployed educators (namely moi).
-
The topic came up based off of an article in the paper that stated anyone that owned or ran a pornography site should be incarcerated, etc., etc. Several of us (members of the ACLU) were up in arms about this. Free speech, freedom on the press, and so on. After our righteous indignation, we completely changed the mood.
-
"So, Jason, what kind of porn do you like?" Mind, I was one of several to be asked this, it was just my turn.
-
Since I'm not a porn connoisseur, I didn't know what to say. I personally don't much care for porn. I don't enjoy it, and never really have, so I don't own any. The looks I got were priceless. They ranged from "yeah, right" to the obligatory deer-caught-in-headlights look.
-
Them: "You don't own ANY porn? None at all?"
Me: "No, nothing. I don't even surf for it on the Internet." *I think at this point, I screamed mentally from sheer disbelief on my own part*
-
Again, more stares of disbelief. I think there was some snickering in the background.
Me: "What? Is that so hard to believe? A gay guy that lives alone that doesn't own...."
-
Yeah, at that point my voice trailed off. I even began to realize how ludicrous it sounded. But I swear it's true. I'm not a prude. I don't think. Hm. Maybe I am...
-
Nah. I just don't like the stuff. I'd much rather make my own with another guy. I think I'd get more out of it that way.

*insert your lewd comment here*
i once accidentally bought a german prison porno. i didn't realise that it actually be a porno. i thought it was a german movie about gay men in prison...okay, nevermind. :D
no wonder the store clerk at the cash--for the other torontonians reading this, i bought it at the glad day--laughed when he saw that i was buying that DVD.
I adore the use of the term "accidentally". Freud would say that you secretly wanted to see big german men beat each other with various leather objects.
I assume that's what goes on in those videos anyway. *shifts eyes*
Isn't there only so much porn a guy can watch before getting tired of it? I mean, there are only so many things you can do and once you've seen 'em, then what?
You do 'em. ;0)
