Major porn industry's exodus from California

Post by beats me » Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:31 am

Just heard blurps in the background on the news on this so I don't know if this happened, is happening, or could possibly happen. California is looking to pass a law that all male porn stars have to wear a condom in porn and the porn industry is saying "fuck that!".

:lol:

1. Who the fuck watches or pays for professional porn anymore?

2. Impact condoms in porn will have on people's personal habits: 0

3. There's far more fucked up shit that goes on in porn than not wearing condoms.

4. Have to side with the porn industry on this one. Condom porn kind of fucks the fantasy of it all. But if I had to choose between condom porn or outlawing drawn out shots of the dude's face I'd say let me watch you appropriately triple bag that shit, bro. (refer to 1)

Kind of depressing to admit, but a block away from where I live are two old school porn stores/movie booths. I'm still amazed at how many people I see walking out of there when I drive by or take the dog for a walk. These people can afford to pay for who knows how many DVD movies or tokens, but can't afford even a basic computer to get it for free instead?

Well I guess some of them are from restrictive homes. Who knows? some could have a wife that caught them pants down in front of the computer and forced it to be set up in the living room etc. People will put up with all kinds of crazy shit. :lol: That, and some guys like the "dirty" of adult stores. I know a few girls that are strippers and seriously I don't get that at all? The guys pay $400 for a half hour of a girl mostly naked they can't touch acting sexy for them so they throw money at them. The stories they tell are funny though.

Ahem, not that I'd know of course (actually I'd be lucky if I had $400 to spend on anything let alone be able to throw at a stripper), but I think it's more a case of 1. The power and 2. The atmosphere. Difference between watching a ball game at home, or watching it from the front row.

Mate of mine used to work at an adult store on Piccadilly in London. Good guy - used to be a bassist in a fairly well known punk band (forget which). Don't think the stores there now.

On my birthday night out a few years ago we went down the store to visit him as he couldn't come out. Sat in the shop drinking tins and smoking indoors (despite the ban - no one would complain see). Young dude, acting all swagga walks in giving it the big I as he looks at all the porn. Walks up to the till and as soon as he goes to pay his attitude completely changes to one of pure embarrassment - scurries out forgetting his change.

Same night, an old respectable bloke - a senior banker, something like that comes in buys "Teen vixens 4" as soon as he's paid he tries to hide the DVD in a copy of the times - it falls out, he starts to panic as he realises it's too big for his pockets and all they've got are flimsy plastic bags that you can totally see through.

Hilarity ensues.

They had some seriously big dildos in that shop.

Just remembered my ex-wife worked at a porn store for the entirety of our relationship (which wasn't long) and yet she was the least sexual person I've been with. Maybe she was taking being ironic to an extreme and this was long before it was fashionable. I'd slip her some money from time and time and told her to bring something home but it felt like it was more about my curiosity than her pleasure.

I still get the shivers thinking about that mess. :x

Ah fuck. I just remembered a particularly morale killing night with my ex where we laid in bed and watched a porn in its entirety in complete silence and absolutely nothing happened between us. I brought this to her attention and she just shrugged and plainly said “Well, you didn’t make a move.”

I was such the bitch in that relationship. :x

It's fucking unthinkable how many games out there don't feature multiplayer.

FFS

At this point if a racing or FPS doesn't have multiplater they can lick my balls.

Well it was like 14 years ago, but I assure you every woman I’ve gone out with since has suffered as a result of her diabolical behavior. You always remember the first person who fucked you. And I’m not talking about sex here. :x

One of the more bizarre conversations i have witnessed took place in a sex shop in NYC.
I had a buddy that was the day time manger.
I was in there wasting time and he gets a phone call from some guy looking for a yellow butt plug. The conversation went on for about five minutes and included the managers reasoning for why they didn't accept returns.
A YELLOW butt plug..?
Why,, in case it might clash with his draws..?
I also knew a stripper that paid her way through NYU law school using fives and singles.. I used to go cook the occasional private dinner party at her very nice apartment that she shared with another lady of the night.. Very interesting times.

As a teenager I worked as a security at one sex-shop in Stockholm. Former owners were slaughtered right in the shop and the new ones thought that my blue belt in Shotokan and Muai-thai tournaments trophies were enough to employ me. I was 19. And it was Stockholm, not Vietnam ;)
I recall nice live shows they had. There were about 15 guys in the audience and the girl who was masturbating on the little podium in front of them let them lick her dildo. All of them licked the dildo and I found it a bit disgusting to lick the dildo after other guy ;)
The girl was really nice. I drove her home several times. She was happily married and had two kids!
I was attacked only once during my pass. Some feminists demontrated before the shop. They sprayed the entrance and some of them entered the shop and spray the indoors.
I handcuffed one of them with novelty handcuffs (pinky furry ones) to the entrance door and told her she would be the welcome attraction that night.
She became hysterical and we called the ambulance.
I quit next day.
