"cause a you, you fucker"

Porn has been an indirect source of inspiration for me. Of course there are always times that the porn itself can be inspirational, but it isn't as though I find something in the porno so unbelievably sexy that I might enter a rapturous state. It is more the absurd dynamics of the porn world. Every so often a twenty second preview-clip can just be a gem. In these clips you get a quick synopsis of what will be in the full-length video. It begins; you see a girl being interviewed, she is giggling, responding sheepishly, and then all of a sudden they cut to her with a penis in her vagina, a penis in her ass, a penis in her mouth, and one penis in each of her hands. How is one supposed to react to such a thing? I had just found out that her name was Allison, she was from Idaho, and she was eighteen, with a good face and a good body, not perfect, and HELLO, she’s got penis in her and on her, in multiple places, going multiple speeds, she is multi-tasking, and different noises are coming from different places and some crew members leg is in the shot when I know they didn'’t mean it to be there. That aspect of the porn world is beyond value for me. It is not often that two sides of a spectrum can be expressed so vividly and be used in juxtaposition so effectively. You take one commonplace thing; meeting a pretty girl and obtaining some information about her through social interaction, which men do all the time at bars, in shops, and pretty much anywhere that both men and women can be found. So, the meet and speak element is established and then the second element is brought into the picture. Through simple editing the twenty second preview clip throws the viewer into an exposition of the depths of the recently acquainted girl'’s sexuality. This second element takes the viewer very far away from the feelings that come with meeting a girl and getting to know something about her. Imagine if you walked up to a girl at the bar and you learned her name, where she was from, etc. and then all of sudden she was fucking and servicing five dudes at once on a couch in one of the leisure areas. This is not a practical situation. I don't think I would desire such a situation, even if I were morphing over to the couch area to have sex with her. I wouldn'’t want to meet a girl and then have her allure ruined by an immediate display of her sexual depths. This is assuming that it is not common knowledge that she is a whore. It is much cooler to know nothing about a girl and feel out her style and preferences as time goes on. That is the beautiful thing about the dynamics of sexual tension and courting. However, I do have to give porn credit for making me chuckle heartily with such crass displays. If people are willing to say that comedy and erotic photography fit into the art world then I will have to throw my vote in for full-motion porn.
