Given my general tendency to remark about various budgetary and economic matters, this post's title might lead one to believe that we're discussing something worthwhile here. Let me be clear then. We're not. You'll have to accept my apologies in advance for the distasteful nature this time. Tonight we discuss pornography.
It's not the general nature of pornography that has drawn this post. I'm pretty sure I understand what that's all about. Sex is what it is, after all. It arouses what it arouses. I understand completely. I enjoy naked broads as much as the next guy. And, even though it's incomprehensible to me, I'm sure plenty of broads enjoy the occasional naked fella as well. (Go ahead and insert the obligatory girl-girl and guy-guy sentence here to round out the scenarios if you must. You get my point.)
I'm not entirely sold on porn's value, since the viewer still tends to be a pitiful soul relegated to manual stimulation of his/her own genitalia when all is said and done, but at least the purpose is relatively clear. It's like the internet version of going to a strip club and spending a bunch of money to look at women who won't be in your bed later. (Yes, I know about the 'VIP rooms.' I'm not a child, but there are internet options for arranging escorts as well. We're discussing the usual and typical versions of events here - AKA the versions that don't involve prostitution but do involve mostly-clothed people looking at mostly-naked people who make them horny.)
So porn is what it is. We all understand this. There are various types of porn meant to appeal to various types of people. We all understand this. If it's your cup of tea - more power to you.
I have one nagging question though. What's with this 'money shot' business? I assume that the point of pornography is to allow people a sort of escape into a fantasy realm... or whatever. I can't think of the fantasy realm where this sort of finish makes any sense. On the infrequent occasion that I might find myself engaged in coitus with an unfortunate lass, I can't imagine that I would ever think, "This is no good. I should interrupt this delightful process and use my own hand to jerk off on her face/chest/other instead!"
Seriously - what in the hell is that?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just move along. It's truly not worth the trouble. I'll get back to observing the bona fide idiots who represent us before too long. I'll rain on the parade of our collective hopes for an economic recovery soon enough. Life will go on as it always has, and you won't have to concern yourself with such vulgar topics.
If you do know what I mean though - What is this money shot stuff all about?
