Who can imagine porn with condoms mandatory??

Legislation in California right now threatens to make condoms and safe sex mandatory in all porn filmed there. This seems terribly unappealing but since I began this entry I reasoned that porn will probably just find various new forms to morph into.

Indeed it is sort of tiresome to see the overdone tongue-twisting with male bodily fluids in porn videos. I can understand that male climax isn’t completely subtle in order to authenticate the activities and/or pleasure suggested. I still think that much or most of that is overdone. It seems to me that once a reasonable person can determine that it wasn’t a faked orgasm then the actors needn’t go to the popular extremes beyond that – at least in terms of the partner’s mouth.

For a while such new regulations will really put a damper on the demand for newly produced porn. I suspect that what is now "vintage porn" will eventually include any porn created before such laws take effect. Maybe the center of the U.S. porn industry will move away from California to somewhere else as the result of such a new regulation. Maybe that is the whole inspiration of the California lawmakers in drawing up such legislation.

I know that one or more porn actors have acquired significant STD’s from one another in very recent times yet I still sense that the response is overkill. Obviously porn actors envision some risk when signing-on to participate in such films or imagery and consider that porn has been produced for a very long time, in large quantities, and with very little reporting of STD transference. That despite an almost universal lack of protection between sex partners even though there are considerable standards relating to STD screenings for all involved.

Had this been a potential epidemic, or even a significant problem, we would have seen the porn industry lean that way well before now. As I said, though, the likely evolution past the point of strict requirements for condoms in porn will see porn producers being innovative and perhaps enough so to guide America’s appetite for porn in surprising directions.

For the time being I’m content in knowing that there are thousands and thousands of porn DVD’s that I’ve never even heard of, and which could potentially entertain me in the traditional ways until such time as when the porn of the future becomes familiar enough to seem interesting.

The porn industry as a whole is a curiosity. For a while the XXX industry was host to the only entities online that were making money from the internet. An unfortunate tangent to that factor is that, with so much porn available online for free, the bricks and mortar porn available has skyrocketed in price because fewer and fewer people have any cause to want to pay for it. Many real-life XXX establishments are hurting financially because the internet has not only afforded much more porn for far less money, but the internet wins hands-down in the area of letting one preserve his or her privacy while consuming porn.

As online technology gets better and better, a much greater amount of porn is available to just about anyone. Even 13yo kids who used to have to await the rare time in every childhood when a discarded porn mag. might be found near the curb somewhere, can now simply sign-on as an 18yo and immediately avail himself to a treasure trove of free porn.

I sort of wonder just who are the people paying for internet porn. Sure you can spend some amount of money and presumably watch a private nude camera show with any of numerous young women. At least you’re getting what seems like live interaction for the money. Other than that, companies are making a mint off of nominal monthly membership fees which permit the user to surf everywhere on a particular porn site for a month. Last I noticed, these websites have an "automatic renewal" clause in their fine print – meaning that they will keep charging the per-month fee of $3.99 or so until you jump through all the hoops to firmly declare that you no longer wish to continue.

Some porn websites aren’t very well secured by their webmasters in that one can use Google and sometimes access paid websites through the back door. Every porn photo has a distinct web address and sometimes Google lands you inside a pay site, where slight alteration of a photo’s web address yields a totally different photo of a completely different individual. I’m sure the porn industry has caught on to this for the most part, but with the public demand for porn never higher, maybe tight security is small potatoes compared to keeping the front door easily navigable by the customer perfectly willing to fork over credit card info and incur the revolving $3.99 monthly charge.

From what little I’ve ever perceived about some of those sites, many of them don’t update their porn stock very often even though they’re the ones charging for the right to browse their sites. With so many online message boards about porn, one need merely figure out the stage names of his favorite porn starlets to tap into what are usually scores of offerings by the same actress.

Yours truly can’t recall ever paying for online porn in any way but I can’t rule out the chance that I experimented a time or two with those small monthly fees back near the dawn of my internet experience. In the same way, I’ve never been able to motivate myself for phone sex either. Most of the advertisement for phone sex is unrealistic and done in such a way that the hard-sell looks of the women depicted just can’t be authentic. Now I don’t mind the mere inauthenticity of that but the further the image is from the reality behind it, the less interested I would tend to be.

Maybe I wouldn’t be drawn-in by a photo of a housewife with curlers in her hair and an ironing board out in front of her as she talked. I’d be far more inclined to dial the number of a woman whose own "Glamour Shot" was on the page in front of me than if I saw the photo of some overdone person whose image matches others’ perceptions of male fantasy, while knowing full well that I was going to speak with the aforementioned housewife if I dialed.

Some of the relatively recent genres of porn include "POV" (point of view)… when filming is done as if the scenario is lived and seen through the eyes of the viewer… and "Instruction"… when some seeming hottie very quickly determines that some dude out there in viewer land is eager to masturbate to her form. She talks directly to him, belittles him in ways, and invariably uses hand motions that simulate male masturbation. Her words are typically over-the-top as she tapes her performance in front of people other than those who will actually view and try to enjoy her effort.

I’m sure that the bounds of legal pornography are being tested and nudged outward all the time, and it is for reasons like those that the mighty porn industry would even adjust to the major setback that would be condom requirements for all sexual interactions.
