I have a good friend who admits she has an semi-addiction.
She likes to watch porn. Good porn, bad porn, gay porn, whatever.
But she works for a giant that could fold any day now and she can't purchase as many movies as she used to. Five a month to be specific.
So, last night we talked about what she could do, other than watch the same movies she already had. "I've seen them all about three million times," she groaned. "But each time I watch them, I learn something new."
"Your boyfriend must be so happy," I said.
"We broke up. He said some of the stuff I'm into is too much for him. That's why I need new porn."
Taking a sip of juice I looked at her and shook my head. "Why don't you just buy some new movies?" Case closed, let's move on, I thought.
"Because a good movie is nearly $40. Now that I'm paying my rent on my own and other bills since he left, I really can't afford to feed the porn monster."
"Have you gone online? You're always on your computer." I opened my laptop. "There are some free porn sites out there."
"Yeah, but they have one second clips."
"Ah, no. Let me introduce you to PornHub."
It was like a two-year old waking up Christmas morning finding toys underneath the tree. I guess this makes me an enabler.
However, she got me to thinking about other people trying to save money who like to watch porn. Those movies are expensive. Even the old ones. There's nothing wrong with watching porn online at HOME. Please don't risk your job to watch someone receiving a blow job.
Another free site is RedTube. While you're going to see some of the same videos that are on PornHub, it does offer an array of cartoon porn.
I'm sure my friend is going to be glued to her computer all weekend getting her fill of free porn. While that's good for her, it sucks for the adult industry, which is seeing losses. Creative Loafing wrote about it in June.
If it was bad then, imagine how it is now.
