What’s the Relationship Between Masturbation and Sex?

The title of this post might seem like an obvious question, but I disagree (or I wouldn’t have written this in the first place).

In fact, I’ll start with an even more general question: What is masturbation? Is it a physical thing, releasing pent up energy? Is it an emotional thing? Is it related to lust? Does the situation surrounding the masturbatory event change the answer to this question?

Autocomplete for Porn Searches

Anyone who’s used Google is familiar with–

Wait, let me start again.

Everyone is familiar with autocomplete. When you go to Google and start typing the site helpfully provides you with phrases that others have searched for. Sometimes with helpful results, sometimes with funny results, and sometimes with results that make you lose your faith in humanity.

Reasons Porn Is Better Than Sex: No Emotional Roller Coaster

Alternate title: Dating Sites Suck, Part 3

When I say that porn is better than sex, I’m being somewhat tongue in cheek. (If you’d like to put your tongue in my cheek please leave a comment. Also, please be female. And hot.) Obviously I prefer fucking over watching people fuck, although I have to admit that watching people fuck is a helluva lot more convenient.

I’ve written about dating sites before (and I’ll probably do so again). They have their downsides, but they also definitely have a purpose: they allow you to meet and get to know people you’d like to fuck. (Some, like eHarmony, might put the focus more on finding a “life partner” or getting married, but those aren’t the kinds of dating sites I use.)

Whatever Happened to 3D Porn?

It has become a truism that porn tends to lead the way when it comes to technology. I don’t know if that was true in days gone by, but at least since the advent of the world wide web pornographers have been constantly forging new ground in uses of technology. In a way they’ve become victims of their own success because it’s so easy to get porn on the internet for free that they’re having trouble figuring out how to get people to pay for it, but that’s a topic for another post (and I’ve already written a bit on the topic anyway).

Oh Right – THAT’S Why This Blog Was a Secret!

Every once in a while I’ll come across some porn-related blog post or news item that I find amusing, and I’ll further amuse myself by imagining the blog post I’d write if that item were about me. Honestly, I can provide hours of self-stimulated pleasure by imagining how I would write a blog post about me doing something stupid but sexual.

Complicity in Revenge Porn?

I was reading a piece in HuffPo on the question of complicity in revenge porn: if you share lascivious photos of yourself with someone and that person ends up posting them as revenge porn, are you partially complicit in that for having shared the photos in the first place? (Just to remove any unnecessary suspense, my answer to the question is a resounding no.)

What Happened to You Ashley Madison? You Used to Be Cool.

When I first joined the ranks of adulterers on Ashley Madison, the above image is the one which greeted me every time I logged on. The discreet (but hot) businesswoman whispering temptingly into her handsome colleague’s ear. One can only assume she’s suggesting they have an affair; she might even be teasing him that his monogamy has become monotony, as mentioned in the tagline at the top of the page.

Self Control

(Or lack thereof.)

I’m an unrepentant multitasker. I’m often working on one or more work-related things at the same time that I’m chatting with people over instant messaging and maybe even writing blog posts for a blog about porn*, and I’m usually pretty good at prioritizing the various things I’m doing. (* Note: I may sometimes work on my porn-related blog posts at work, but obviously there are limits to what I’ll do at work. I don’t go browsing Smutty or attaching pictures to blog posts or anything – I don’t even view my own blog from the network at work. I just write the content for my posts, and then when I’m at home I’ll put them in Blogger and start pulling in pictures.) I have a pretty good poker face, so people around me will rarely be able to tell the difference between when I’m working and when I’m, you know, workin it.
