Has the Internet killed porn?
A legitimate question raised by Corbymate, which I think deserves discussion.

Re: Has the Internet killed porn?
How are we defining porn here? I thought 70% of made up statistics about the Internet say that 90% of the Internet is porn. Or something.
Re: Has the Internet killed porn?
Yeah, that's the point. There's too much of it, and it's too easy to obtain. The things that would have excited me 10 years ago and I would have happily waited 30 minutes to download on dial-up, I just go "meh" and try and find something different. I'm running out of options that won't send me to prison tbh...Michael Wallace wrote:How are we defining porn here?

I think Corby's getting too much credit for being some kind of Pornmeister, considering that that Carol Vorderman clip was from one of those shitty YouTube style porn sites.
No one worth his pornographic salt should be relying on that kind of source. One word: Usenet.
Thinking back to grainy VHS tapes with shit camera angles and 'plots', there's no question for me. The Internet has saved porn.

If this thread is intended to mirror the "has apterous killed Countdown" thread, surely you need to be asking yourselves whether internet porn is helping you improve your technique.

Re: Has the Internet killed porn?
Yes. Most definately. I was wanking over Venus Williams vs Safina the other day when I flicked over briefly to watch that mind-numbingly predictable, would-be octochamp Innis Carson. Stupidly, I forgot to stop wanking and proceeded to climax while Innis solved the 2nd numbers. To make matters worse, the exact moment of climax coincided with a close up of his almost-certainly-autistic and rather unattractive female oponent.
Now whenever I play apterous I see those remarkably Innis-like silhouettes and it instantly triggers a neuro-associative response to the aforementioned incident which causes me to explode in my pants and, rather ironically, miss easy words like SOUTANE and HOPLITES.
So I think we can safely deduce from this that yes, the internet has killed porn.

Hmmm. It occurs to me - yes, at 5 in the morning - bloody dawn chorus, that you may need a definition of 'growler' here. Whilst the OED plumps for 'a small iceberg', 'a hansom cab' or 'a pail for carrying beer', I was going for the unlisted, endearingly Australian, colloquialism. Obviously a risky seven. Should have stuck with the safe six.....'beaver'.
Right. Now I'm going to shoot that f**king seagull.

HOWEVER - I'm not one of those women who assumes all men to be chauvinists so.....if I made that assumption wrongly, forgive me. It could just be that I'm new and I should be easing in more gently (ooh err) or it could be that your suggestion was just teasing (in which case - I'm a big fan of emoticons as I don't really do 'perceptive')

Re: Has the Internet killed porn?
The phrase "get a room" means "have this discussion somewhere else", not "shut up you mangy whore" as you seem to have understood it, and was addressed to both you and Matt, since it was getting a bit tedious. Sorry for saying it in a roundabout kind of way, I do that rather a lot.

HOWEVER - I'm not one of those women who assumes all men to be chauvinists so.....if I made that assumption wrongly, forgive me. It could just be that I'm new and I should be easing in more gently (ooh err) or it could be that your suggestion was just teasing (in which case - I'm a big fan of emoticons as I don't really do 'perceptive')
Yes, a straight answer rather than a sarcastic one might be useful at this point. Matt Green said someone was probably autistic, and they probably were. He didn't draw any negative conclusion from that. What's the big deal? Are you the kind of person who gets upset when Ainslee Harriet is described as black? We have plenty of autistic users. Oh, you didn't notice because they blend in just fine? I guess that undermines your point a bit. I've been "accused" of being one myself often enough, and even if it were true (no idea) it's not something that I would be offended by, any more than Phil Reynolds accusing me of being a bit short (mea culpa). I've socialised with many autistics in my lifetime and you won't find many communities more accommodating, or just plain less bothered about it, than this one. I have also never heard the word 'orty' before.John Bosley wrote:Silly me. All on my own here and not realising that it is OK to insult, take the piss out of anyone who is or might be suffering from autism.
It looks as if 'orty' is the new 'spas'.

Re: Has the Internet killed porn?
Thank you Charlie. Yes, if someone with no knowledge of tennis had come into the room while I was wanking over the Williams-Safina match, once theyd got over the initial shock, they might ask which one was Venus. It would be rather silly of me to say that she was 'the taller one with the more powerful serve and the more prominent jawline' when I could just say 'the black one'. Is that racist? No, just efficient.
So when I use 3 prominent adjectives in unattractive, female and autistic, it lets everyone know which Innis match I am referring to.
Plus I cant believe you used the word 'orty', thats despicable.

If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

As long as she wasn't playing a Native American Indian, that'd just be confusing.Matthew Green wrote:Thank you Charlie.

The phrase "get a room" means "have this discussion somewhere else", not "shut up you mangy whore" as you seem to have understood it, and was addressed to both you and Matt, since it was getting a bit tedious. Sorry for saying it in a roundabout kind of way, I do that rather a lot. Anyway you can continue to flirt in here if you like, but it was getting kind of boring for me.
Ah, ok - now I know where the bar is set.
Or you could try a method known as scan reading.
