Social theory while watching pornography.

I had a half-formed quasi-epiphany the other day while watching porn. In the last few months I've decided that porn chicks are kind of...well...disgusting. Like, really greasy and awful. So I was in this kind of pornographic existential crisis, when all of a sudden I discovered homemade amateur porn.

Homemade amateur porn is nice. Simple. Passionate people doing passionate things for the love of the game. I find it impossible to go back to professional mainstream porn, and I'm kind of surprised by that.

I got bored with normal porn. I got extreme as fuck for a while there. The more degrading the act was, the better I thought it was. I was afraid I was losing my humanity, some of the things were so shocking. And then it hit me...the porn industry is perhaps eventually going to go away.

If I'm bored by these sleazy bitches, other people have to be. For the first time I'm watching porn videos without the girl bellowing in a Valley Girl accent "Oh yaaahhhhhhh...Oh yahhhhhh!!!" It's nice.

We are in our adolescence on the Internet. We're seeing all this crazy shit, but eventually we're going to mature and go back to our human nature...to a point. We're still attention-craving creatures, and this is why fucking for money on film is going to go away: people will do what they do for free for a modicum of notoriety.

It also led to other questions: what else will go away for a cheap 15 minutes of fame thanks to the new technology we have? Professional musicians and albums? Live performances? Movies?

I'm still thinking it through, but...it's a hell of a thought.

All thanks to porn.

Thank you, porn. Thank you.
