Porn

We all know that the internet is for porn, right? Well on the subject of porn...

Old fashioned porn, you know the paper based stuff, I've always thought was a private thing: something to be enjoyed in the privacy of your own home. Well no, apparently not. It was made for sharing and not with your partner, with your mates.

I had no idea that people who like porn often share it with their friends, but the boys at work changed my view on this subject. Now none of them put their hands up to partaking, either in porn or porn sharing, which just goes back to my original assumption that porn is a private occupation, but they generally agreed that men share porn around.

Now there was some discussion about whether the porn would be usable by the time it reached it's fourth "user" and some visible distaste displayed by some at the thought of sharing, but the consensus was that sharing was normal.

I was more than a bit disturbed that one of the girls at the table knew someone who enjoyed violent porn featuring rape and similar. I hear that and I think psycho rapist, domestic violence and other hideous crimes. Maybe I'm judging this individual unfairly and maybe he's a paragon, but I doubt it.
