I like to move it. Move it.

Porn Again

posted Thursday, 18 January 2007

Little update on the sperm bank business. After two tests, I learned that my boys can indeed swim. However, the clinic is currently overbooked, and I'm on a wait list. Yes, I am on a wait list to spooge in a cup. Top of the world, ma!

So since for the time being I'm free to, ahem, come and go as I please, I've stuck to my regular self-pleasure habits. I'm in a long distance relationship (you know, like a real relationship, but without all that annoying sex getting in the way), and thus I watch a lot of porn. A lot.

The internet had rendered my need for actual porn videos and DVDs pretty much obsolete. With such vast possibilities online, what's the point of leaving the house? Well, the trouble with the net is that for the most part, you only get 15 second clips. Usually, I find a clip that moves me, align the cursor with the play button, commence gratification, and then tap the space bar with my wrist each time the clip ends, starting the scene over. Trouble is, there's only so many times you can watch the same ass bounce before it gets a little tedious. So I find myself exploring the net again, and in doing so, backing down from the "edge of climax" state. It is not unusual to realize a full hour has passed and I still haven't finished the deed. It's sad, really. It's really sad.

The other night (OK, it was Christmas Eve. Sorry JC.), I decided to treat myself and rent an actual full-length video for the first time in a long while.

A video is like having a full course meal after years of tic-tacs. The scenes are long, and you can mimic the experience of actually having sex. For example, when the scene begins (usually with a man asking a woman to get into a van), I'll start seducing myself. A tug here, a rub there. When he gets her back to his place...or a warehouse...and the foreplay begins, I'll take 'er out. During the oral portion, I'll start getting a little more intense. During the sex I'm pumping like Helen Keller, and usually I'll try to time my climax with the couple onscreen. It makes the jerker feel less alone.

Until the scene ends, and he finds himself in the dark, looking around for a paper towel. Or failing that, a bank statement.

There are several video stores around my house and each features an extensive "Adult" section. Throughout my life, every time I've been in one of these places I have felt embarassed, even though I know countless men have passed through the doors and it shouldn't be a big deal. I just always remember this creepy 60-year-old toad-looking man who used to come into Blockbuster when I worked there.

(Blockbuster, for all their censorship, carried an extensive amount of soft-core porn, movies with titles like Hotel Erotica and Breast of the Best 2, movies in which the girl rides the guy and covers her vagina with her hand. Seriously, isn't there a better way of handling the cover-up? It's like these movies where the girl dismounts the guy after sex and she's got underwear on. What, does she have a dick-shaped hole in them?).

Anyhoo, this creepy old man with the worst comb over I've seen would always shuffle up to the counter, eyes averted, and rent one New Release soft-core and one older soft-core video. This earned him the nickname "One Old Porn, One New Porn." I realize this isn't exactly clever, but we laughed every time. Looking through his account was always hilarious, and we did it often. Every time I go into an adult store, I feel like this man.

Here are the other thoughts I always have when I enter the adult section:

1) Why do they always have saloon-style doors, the kind you feel like you should kick open and enter with guns blazing?

2) How many guys have touched these boxes with their disgusting hands? Do they jerk off and immediately eject the tapes? Is there a hand-washing in there somewhere? And do I really care? And shouldn't I care?

3) I guess I better rent a few normal movies to make this less awkward at the counter.

I had all three thoughts the other night, and in fact I rented both Miami Vice and Beerfest to hide my shame. In the past, I have always tried to rent pornos with non-embarassing titles, something like Unchained or Rendezvous. Trouble is, they don't make pornos with subtle titles anymore.

I wound up renting Here's Looking At Goo, Kid. Seriously. I'll show you the receipt.

It was pretty good, one of those six hour Vivid Videos, where there is no story, just an endless string of scenes featuring different actors and actresses. I like the variety, so I prefer these to something where Jenna Jameson might have sex with three different women and three different guys, all while trying to solve a rather poorly written mystery in a rain coat. Cut to the chase, I say. Vivid is best at these anthology videos, and Vivid also doesn't allow for unattractive people, so you never find yourself looking up Ron Jeremy's hairy asshole at the worst possible moment.

When it comes to porn, it is obviously about the girl, but I defy anyone to watch and enjoy a porno where the guy is hideous, fat, and/or greasy. It can't be done. Doesn't mean you're gay, but better to have chiseled abs and an 8-incher looking at you than the obese moustachioed porn stars of yesteryear.

My porn tastes are diverse and wide-ranging, but I tend to favor three-ways (FFM or MMF, I'm not picky), party scenes, pool scenes, college scenes, and public scenes. Two girls and a feather duster will work for me if there is no other option, but I tend to like things a little harder.

There is some stuff out there that is genuinely appalling. I've stumbled upon things online that ran my blood cold, and that takes a lot. As a rule, I hate it any time the girl appears to be in pain or is crying. I hate ball gags, leather, chains, and especially masks. I hate it when the girl looks like she's six. I really hate any time the guy is screaming "YEAH! SUCK IT BITCH!" and I don't like scenes where the girl appears to be coked out and half-asleep. (That last one rules out a lot of material).

For the beginner, maybe there's a 12-year old reading this somewhere, let me recommend some great sites: dansmovies, magicmovies, pornotube, and xtube. (Obviously you'll need to add the dot-com, I didn't think having clickable links to porn sites on a blog most people read at work would be a good idea).

I'm always amazed I've never seen anyone I know in porn. I've logged thousands of hours of erotica, and never once? The closest I came was seeing a girl I knew from high school on MTV's True Life. She was pregnant and stripping to pay the bills. A buddy of mine knew a girl that appeared in a Girls Gone Wild. That's even better. I just want to be online one night and stumble upon some a video of some high school cheerleader I used to lust after getting stuffed in a French restaurant while wearing a chef's hat. Is that so wrong?

I'm rambling, and if you read the comments yesterday you know how important it is to stick to "theme" and "tone," so, in conclusion, let me state my thesis: Me love porno.

I love this. I have a feeling that, because of "Job", assessing the theme and tone of your posts is going to become a running gag in the comments section. Which is hilarious, because your posts can usually be broken up into one of four categories: Jerkin' It, I Was Drinking Last Night, Shit I Like And How Much I Like It and The World Is Fucking With Me Again. Nothing to be ashamed of, by the way, you could break up a lot of Hemingway's works into the same four categories.

Actually, I've got to say I'm surprised that when the stretches between sex get too long, the thing that you go for is actual pornography. Shit, if pushed to the limit, I can rub one out to an episode of "Girlfriends." And not the whole episode, mind you, but the pre-credits teaser to "Girlfriends." I don't believe in wasting a lot of time.

I don't think women get this about guys. I mean, I think they get that we do it, but I don't think they quite grasp the hummingbird-heartbeat frequency in which we do it. I remember one time when I was doing stand-up, a whole bunch of the Pages came. Came to the show, that is! (Zing.) I had a set-up to one of my routines that made reference to being an insomniac and occasionally needing to work it at 3am to USA Up All Night or E!s Wild On or whatever the fuck so I could get some sleep. There was a joke in there, but it was really just a set-up to a larger routine about shitty late night programming. It got moderate laughs, and I really didn't think much about it.

After the show, Andrea (not sure if it's the same Andrea who occasionally posts here. Andrea the Page, anyway) comes up to me, and with a very "too much information" sort of look on her face, says, "Hey. Kind of funny. Thanks for letting us all know what you do every night." I swear to God, it took me a second to understand what she was talking about. At first I thought she meant stand-up. When I got that she meant fiddlin' with the business, I was almost shocked. I thought, (but didn't say, which for me is an achievement) "Oh, Andrea. Dear sweet, innocent Andrea. You know else does that? That guy. That guy. Those guys. My Dad. Your Dad. His Dad. Elvis. Jesus Christ. Every man you've ever met or ever will meet, ever. Ever ever ever ever ever ever. Ever." I didn't tell her, though. I just rolled my eyes up to heaven and shared a wink with God, like Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life. She'll find out eventually. Although, if she reads this blog, I guess the cat's out of the bag. Sorry, Andrea.

Oh, and in summation: Pat, I found your theme preposterous and your tone mollifying to the bourgeoisie. You, sir, have much to learn about the art of the humour. That's right, like the British spell it. I bid you good day, sir!

I SAID GOOD DAY!

"...and the foreplay begins, I'll take 'er out."

I thought I'd seen it all, but that's gotta be the first time I've seen a feminine pronoun used to refer to a dude's own naughty bits.

Was I just compared to Kinsey and Ernest Hemingway in regards to a jacking off blog? Awesome.

Jackson,

I'm not saying "Girlfriends" wouldn't do the trick, especially if I'm in a "Dark Chocolate" frame of mind, but if the computer's right there, why not?

Girls really don't get it, and I always have to laugh when a girl will say "We do it just as much as you do." Really? I'm doing it as we're having this conversation.

Matt,

Probably doesn't look good comparing my dong to a woman, but to cover it up I'll say both are beautiful, sensitive, and both get all soft when marriage is discussed.

When I read this, it actually reminded me of your blog. Then I read yours and I thought it was fitting that it was written the same day you wrote about porn. Wouldn't you love if you had to watch porn at work? Well, maybe not!

Patrick,

Found your site by way of Slack, read every entry and now have a crazy intense crush on you. I tell my friends about you like we've been dating for years, and I think I'm freaking them out.

This is two days in a row now you've mentioned your girlfriend. Please, can't you just let a girl dream???

Once the girlfriend of a friend was in porn, and I knew she was. She did a few photoshoots and maybe a short movie or two? In any case, I definitely stumbled upon her more than once online. I quickly navigated away, it was kind of disturbing. I think part of the charm of masturbation (yes, masturbation is CHARMING!) is the notion that you don't know the people involved.

Here's a question for the podcast (or blog) advice column: how do you explain to your not-long-distance girlfriend that just because you masturbate from time to time it doesn't mean you don't love her or otherwise/also find her totally foxy?

Stephanie,

Can't open myspace at work, but you've just described my dream job!

Carrie,

I'll never speak of "her" again.

Rob,

Good LORD! Did your friend know? I definitely wouldn't have navigated away, I can tell you that!

As for your question, I dealt with that with a high school girlfriend, it was like she was jealous of my right hand or something. I told her, "Hey, unless you want to be at my beck and call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, this has to happen." Especially then, when I was 18 or whatever. It is a special kind of girl that is willing to put up an amount of sex equal to a guy's JO habits. I don't really see what the big deal is. As long as you're not lying in bed next to her doing it, so what? Would she rather you cheat?

Just lie and tell her you think about her when you do it.

I never really cared that guys have to JO all the time. I understand. I was hyper sexual as a child, like 9 and up (probably nothing like pat walsh, but still). Now, not so much. I watched tons of porn. we had the illegal cable box and then of course tons of "hidden" VHS tapes but really just turned away so the strip that says "red shoe diaries" was facing the wall. i used to have all my girlfriends over and show them these videos and say, watch what happens next!

Omg, this is too perfect a post! I can't believe you're revealing your jackoff fantasies & secrets on your blog as well as the male tendency to rub one out regularly. Ok,ok, I'll fess up. I masturbate several times a day & watch porn far more often than I probably should. OK, now I've said it in writing. Are you happy now Pat, lol?

I guess it just goes to show you how porn has become increasingly more acceptable in the mainstream & how truly horny we men can be. I love your descriptions of the porn you watch too, the online porn clips & how you "seduce" yourself, tff! I can oh so relate.

It always surprises me when women(or men for that matter. I have gay friends as well) are surprised when men cheat on them given the amount of sexual urges we have & the lack of response from them. I'm not saying that it's ok to cheat mind you. But it seems that in a relationship, familiarity breeds indifference I've noticed. The longer you are with someone, the less sex you get(& it's even worse in marriage. I know from experience). There is an expectation that a man should remain faithful no matter how sexually neglected they become. What a mistake that is. If people really understood the male libido there would be less cheating & more giving it up to keep their man from straying! Not to say that men shouldn't be responsible for their urges either or communicating their needs, which really makes a difference.

In honor of the spirit & "tone" of this post, I gotta go take care of MY sexual urges now, lol!

HAHAHAHA...riiiiiight.

For the record, this dude DID know about his girlfriend's porning around, in fact he was very supportive of it and as I understand it offered suggestions about things to do to the "director"s of the shoots and such. This girl was not attractive to me, and I guess I'm more an anonymous masturbator (who prefers to give himself the heej to strangers...she also had a tattoo, which is a pretty automatic turnoff for me). Now she's a born-again Catholic (and virgin) with a husband (not the former boyfriend, whom I do see with some regularity) and a kid!?!?! This was prob'ly six years ago that she porn'd it up, I don't think I've seen her in at least two years or so, though.

Thanks for the tips, I can't say I consider lying to the GF a very remarkable idea but it's true that a dude just needs a good whack now and then when other means of expulsion aren't available (and would I be alone in adding "...and sometimes, even when they are"?)! I mean, I clear the internet history, I certainly don't do it when she's around, can't we just call it "out of sight, out of mind" and go about our (very, very sexy) business?

My husband travels a lot for work and occasionally I go with him, the last time we stayed at a Hampton Inn we somehow had adult movies in our room with no charge. You can imagine our surprise and dismay when looking for HBO and stumbling across two naked men and a women totally naked and . . . well I just want to know, where's the music? I would have thought there would be music but all we heard was breathing and well other sounds, no music. I still swear this was a live feed from another room in the motel. :)

Yeah Dale is right, ws is pretty good, I've used it before and would recommend. Two similar compendium sites that draw from many other sites are al4a (categorized archives for your convenience, like the aforementioned ws!) and thehun (the first two are dot coms, the third is a dot net).

Jill,

Wish I had known you back then, we could have played Doctor.

August,

Good points. Among countless other reasons, my biggest fear of getting married is that all sex will cease and I'll be a part of one of those "Anniversary and Valetine's" couples who only do it on special occassions. It makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Rob,

You make some good points as well. Guys are very visual, they get turned on by what they see. Guys like variety as well, and if they get that variety through pornography and not down at the local STD Bar, then by all means let them.

Lisa,

The "wicka-wicka-bom-bom" music associated with porn went out of fashion in the 80's as far as I know. Now, since they're made so cheaply, it's not unusual for porn to have either no sound, or worse - the director's out of work cousin playing horrible electric guitar over the action.

Dale and Rob,

I have been to all the porn sites you mentioned, and I used to be a Worldsex regular, but the reason I moved on from them is this: They'll give you descriptive links like "Hot blonde blows two black guys," and when you click on it that 'hot blonde' could be completely not your type and the two black guys could be Luther Vandross and Bill Cosby.

What you get with the sites I mentioned are "Thumbnails" meaning pictures of each scene are on display, so you're browsing by visual appeal rather than on a description. To me, it's 1,000 times better.

Just following up on Lisa Chaos' post, the most common thing now with regards to porn music (this is bottom of the barrel, Cinemax-style porn, mind you), is for some to take a 1997 Casio keyboard, set the synthesizer to "flute", pick a random chord every few seconds, and just go nuts. Example:

Lisa: I assure you I'm innocent, Inspector. How can I... convince you?

F-CHORD: TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Inspector: Perhaps if you ride me in that awkward reverse cowgirl Cinemax position where you position your hand so it covers my flaccid genitals?

C-CHORD: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Lisa: Aah! Nuh! Buuuuh! Huuuuuur!

B FLAT CHORD: NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That's essentially how it goes. The sad fact: the guys who compose that music have probably made more in the past week than you or I make in a year. Life= still unfair.

One more thing: Pat, the fact that the sperm bank in L.A. has a waiting list has to remind you of Ron Livingston in Swingers.

"They were looking for a guy with more... theme park experience."

Sorry, man, you know I support you. But c'mon, funny is funny.

Indeed.

Well someone above mentioned porn music and I had to bring up the super sounds of Gert Wilden and his Orchestra. You can still get both of his albums, I TOLD YOU NOT TO CRY and THE SCHÜLMADCHEN REPORT. This latter is all pornography soundtrack music from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and it is all absolutely fantastic. Completely listenable outside a pornographic context!
