Odd Porn Spam - Too Much Information

hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.

That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional representation.

I fell for it. Seemed like a natural thing to say (although in fact it made no sense in context). Anyway, thought it was a weird handle so clicked on it to have ‘hairy amateur porn’ thrust in my face.

I can’t believe I fell for it.

Still…it’s such an odd sentence. The dissociative disillusionment common on blogs is used to make it seem like the spam bot is a real person. It made no sense but it seemed like something someone might say.

I guess my guard was down.

The world is very strange though. I mean…how much money do they get from people accidentally clicking these links. Surely if you want porn it’s easy enough to find. I mean…that’s what the internet’s for right?

It’s horrible enough in itself…but you don’t have to shove it in my face all the time.

I mean..it’s odd enough that not shaving has become a fetishised thing. But then…diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks yeah?

I mean…is there anything that a woman can do that isn’t in someway considered to be something done that makes them more appealing and sexually arousing for men.

It’s all bullshit.

I’m pretty sure you don’t get hairy backed men sites aimed at women.

Gah….

I haven’t really thought this post through by the way..this is a quick instintive reaction…just in case you’re wondering.

I think that it’s not necessarily about ‘objectifying’ women. I increasingly think it’s about alienating sexuality from people. Maybe that’s the same thing. I mean….these artificial constructs, complete with adverts and persuasive literature build up certain ideas about what is attractive. People stop thinking about what they find arousing or exciting and just get told what to do by the people who create the sexual images that they hope you’ll become addicted to.

Niche markets are created (I remember reading somewhere that while ‘vanilla’ porn gets more clicks…fetish porn gets more subscriptions) and exploited. More and more absurd imagery becomes necessary to achieve arousal.

I’m not saying people don’t genuinely find these things arousing in real life. I’m certainly not criticising fetish communities and people who do these things. As long as everyone is honestly consenting then pretty much anything is fair game in my book (pretty much).

But the ‘adult entertainment’ industry seems to thrive on disconnecting arousal and sexuality from people. Who needs real women when you can just buy porn over the counter and take matters into your own hands? (Sorry).

Then myths get perpetuated about female sexuality. As I mentioned previously, kids can get the wrong idea about consent and pleasure…growing up with warped views of sexual pleasure.

I’m a reformed porn user. I think I was addicted for quite some time. Not particularly heavy use…and never violent stuff….but I’ve stopped…I realised that it was screwing up the way I looked at things. Now Siggy seems to look at it more than I do…and it was partly conversations with her that finally confirmed in my mind that I had to stop for good.

I don’t know….I always felt like porn and sex were entirely different kinds of arousal. I think they are…but I think they inevitably bleed into each other…in the way that reality and fiction have a tendency of doing.

Hmm….this wasn’t going to be so confessional…but I guess I’m stuck with it now. Deleting is for correcting spelling and grammar…not censorship.

I was told recently that I should think before I speak. To be honest…I think I think too fast for that to work. If it doesn’t come out, then it dies. Things need to come out.

Sometimes the surprises are nice and sometimes they are bad.

Notice how I’m changing the subject?

Sorry….don’t know what else to say right now.
