Transgressive Pornography

elfsSo... the other day I was reading Fark, one of those consistently interesting collator blogs of news and miscellany, some interesting, much not. Fark is unashamedly lad-rag material, with ads in the sidebars for naked or semi-naked girls and links in the pages to more naked girls, along with photoshop contests that ridicule anything and everything. A recent fave was The Mac Cult.
But as I was perusing Fark, the left-bar ad (an animated GIF or Flash of some kind) blinked and the girls there was, well, just too damned young for my tastes. It was like having a sudden allergic reaction: "Where do all of these girls come from? Don't they have parents? What kind of incentive does it make a nineteen-year-old girl choose to be a "teenage anal princess", as the title of one movie I spotted on a virtual shelf recently promised (complete with "six way gangbangs and no condoms!"
Yeah, I'm one to complain. Before I had kids, that kind of porn was hot. Now I worry that my kids will be asked to make those kinds of choices.
So, looking for some other outlet for the "pressure on the brain, eyeballs turnin' white" feeling I stumbled upon something called Real Men Video. Forty-something men in mostly excellent shape doing wonderfully nasty things to other men. Bareback. And, yeah, I found that the most arousing aspect of all. It was transgressive without being illegal-- scratch that, it may have been depending upon where it was filmed-- and one can assume that, at the age these men obviously were, they were capable of making such decisions for themselves.
It wasn't the choice I'd've made myself. I have too much to do to play at such risks. But, sigh...
