There’s a great, really brief, interview over at AVN Online with one of Alberto Gonzales’ G-Spot Men, the FBI staff engaged in the federal war on pleasure.

These guys aren’t trying to find child-pornographers, this crew of imminent retirees and burnouts is trying to (and doubtless will) put people in jail for the production and possession of legal material.

From the interview:

…I was investigating a whole variety of kinky sites - from female ejaculators who are squirt-a-holics to tobacco addicts who smoke before, during, and after sex, and one that was devoted entirely to women who wear eyeglasses and the men who love to cum on them, that is, on the glasses while they’re being worn - and somehow that really turns me on. I’ve become obsessed with it. I’m seeing a psychiatrist twice a week now.

It’s that good.

Charged with shooting hundreds of hours of hours of hardcore sex each year the sticky valley isn’t beyond making stuff up to keep things interesting. Though cynics claim it’s all been done before, even pervs are regularly surprised by pornographers inventiveness. Many non-coprophilics where shocked to see Max Hardcore put his recently anally ensconced cock directly into a woman mouth for the first time a decade ago, and when I saw Skeeter Kerkove putting 164 into his then-wifes ass my preconceptions about 160 chopsticks being the utensil-in-the-ass ’speed of light’ were shattered.

Unfortunately porn’s still spreading ideas that range from questionable to outrageous. Here are three which need to be ended now.

Clit slapping
Given that there are only three orifices on a human you can park a penis in (excluding that girl I dated with the glass eye) it’s not surprising that one of the favored porn moves is adding a novel interpretation to basic three position sex (There are only three distinct sexual positions outside zero gravity or a swimming pool. You’re either facing each other, facing away from each other or at it sideways. The rest is arm movements and various ways of standing up or falling over.)

Slapping the cheeks with the cock is the dumbest variation currently popular, it’s not as if slapping a woman with a sausage has ever been a fetish outside Frankfurt, and I’ve never met a guy who liked to tap his knob to orgasm - but at least it doesn’t hurt.

Clit slapping, the porn stunt where frantic oral sex is punctuated with a three or four finger jab to the lady junk, is teaching a generation of teenagers a trick that’s going to lead to a lot of them hearing ‘Christ that fucking hurts you asshole!’ during what should be a tender moment.

Sure some people like it rough, but some guys like to be kneed in the balls and you don’t see that in many mainstream porn movies. Clit slapping’s popularity is therefore totally bizzare.

Hard Fucking
Tenacious D immortalized it in song but porn missed the joke. For some reason your average male performer has one speed setting and it’s ‘Energizer’.

A hell-for-leather-all-out-sex-attack is something you learn while wanking to Rocco DVD’s and listening to Incubus before you try it with a partner to discover that it only works 10% of the time and half of that’s when she’s trying to deliberately finish you off (this is mainly a guy problem).

Pumping most women to a screaming orgasm achieved without any direct clitoral stimulation is as likely as Uri Geller owning-up to bending those spoons on his chair when we’re not looking. Why is it the core of every other sex scene?

Squirting
I’m going to get mail on this one so read this carefully or risk missing the point.

Porn movies have popularized female ejaculation to the point where you can now buy ‘All Girl Bukkake’ DVD’s. Worse yet, some women now worry that they’re missing out because they don’t squirt.

Fact: Some women can eject fluid when they come.

…but let’s not rush to call it female ejaculation.

Putting aside that there’s no reason for female ejaculation to have evolved and that women lack a prostate gland (calling the paraurethral glands the ‘female prostate’ doesn’t get round this) you also have to consider that when you catheterize a female ’squirter’ you find that what’s being squirted comes from her bladder.

Pornographers know this too. On the set of a squirting movie you’ll notice an excess of empty Evian bottles and bathroom breaks coupled with a distinct lack of anyone who believes their watching women who fake for a living having the sex of their lives three takes in a row.

For people who claim that, like supposed psychic ability, squirting’s a ‘hidden’ capability we’ve lost over time, there’s still no way to address the fact that the half-litre fountains seen in porn films are too large to be anything but pee. If there is anything to female ejaculation it’s got to be a tiny amount of stuff from an organ we don’t yet understand. Drips and dribbles? Maybe. Mug-fulls at high velocity? Fuck off. (Interestingly when you test that fluid it turns out to be of a different composition than “normal” urea - but to call anything from the bladder ‘ejaculate’ rather than ‘pee’ is politics not science.)

Making women paranoid they’re missing out by doing something no-one can find a quantifiable reason for is silly. Believe that what’s sold in porn movies is anything other than a modified golden-shower is stupidity. Besides - women get to have kids. Can’t men at least maintain an exclusive on stuff shooting out of our junk when we’re excited?

The jizz-bizz will happily continue to sell unicorn shit to anyone willing to buy it. Pity the clit-slapped, hard fucked, non-ejaculating women growing up around this stuff who only realize they’ve been had when they’re 35. Isn’t porn supposed to be liberating?

A couple of days ago a performer told me she makes $150K a weekend stripping in Vegas.

Bullshit.

I’m in the surreal position to have known women who’ve been flown to the Middle East to become concubines/prostitutes for the dubious Royals that pass for government in that part of the world and they were made about $50K a week. The strippers Bill Gates used to party with in Seattle (oh yeah - there are some killer Gates stories) might have made $20K on a good night. Making $150K in two days stripping is pure fantasy (not impossible but damn near-as), but that’s okay because the adult industry is built on exaggeration and I’m here to help sort the wheat from the fertilizer.

Telling me a dubious fact is amusing, telling Congress? Not funny at all:

“Experts testifying before a congressional panel say the threat posed to children by sexual predators and the multi-billion dollar Internet pornography business is greater than ever. Lawmakers also heard from teenagers involved in the fight against Internet child sexual exploitation, which like the Internet itself has exploded in recent years.

In 2005, commercial child pornography on the Internet was a $20 billion business, with troubling implications for children around the world vulnerable to abuse.”

$20 billion dollars made in child porn? That’s more than the wildest claims for the combined revenues of the legitimate porn industry worldwide. Bullshit. Child porn’s horrifying enough, and only wrong-headed people would find a $20 million or $20 thousand dollar child-porn industry acceptable. So where did these made-up numbers come from?

The only named ‘experts’ were representatives of ‘Wired Safety‘ - the self proclaimed ‘Worlds largest online safety and help group’. Their website claims:

“Of the sites reported to our child pornography tip line, approximately 50% are determined by our trained volunteers to consist of child pornography, while the remainder are determined to be teens over the age of consent (18 years), or virtual images not actionable in the applicable country.”

50%? How do they determine someone’s underage armed only with a photo (it’s far easier and just as profitable to sell images of adults pretending to be children than images of children themselves). Most of us can only know someone’s age for sure armed with ID. This is clearly a group not afraid of a bit of rounding up. I’d have far more faith in a group who admited that most tips were bogus but pledged to chase the real crimes with unrelenting vigour. Perhap’s that’s just me.

Who runs this group of experts who have the ear of Congress?

An introduction
by Parry Aftab, WiredSafety’s Executive Director
I am a corporate and cyberspace lawyer, mother of two, and an Internet enthusiast. I am also a frequent speaker on the topic of the Internet, computer technology and children and have a special interest in protecting children online while still fostering free speech on the Internet

Since I first got online, quite a few years ago, I have rarely given my modem a rest. I spent so much time online, that they asked me to moderate and host several legal discussion boards, educating small businesses and consumers on the law. I hosted America Online’s Legal Discussions boards, as well as other legal discussion areas and set up and hosted Court TV Law Center’s Legal Helpline. I am generally considered an expert in the field of cyberspace law and have appeared on television programs around the country and around the world to discuss cyberspace issues.

Since I have a “low technology intelligence quotient” (a low TIQ), I have had to dig deeper and do it more slowly than those with high TIQs. Because of my lack of computer skill, I understand how to explain it to others who know even less than I do. But since you are what others think you are…I am an “expert.” (I made up the terms low and high technology intelligence quotients, but since I’m supposed to be an expert, you didn’t even know the difference, did you? See…this is getting to be fun!)

Bottom line…if I can do it, so can you.
Parry

Forgive my bluntness but being an expert isn’t a title you reward yourself with because you’re enthused.

If you want to protect your store from thieves, hire a thief, if you want to break into a bank, hire a guy who designs vaults and if you really want to protect children from the online tools child abusers use to spread their porn, ask a legitimate pornographer.

If the information lawmakers are being presented with is coming from people who don’t know their field how can we expect anything like wise decision-making?

How can this article have been written without talking to me? IT’S MY DAMN WORD!

Okay - I feel little better now. As you were…

If you’ve read this blog more than once you’ll know that I’m the type of guy who comes when you leave doesn’t have a problem criticizing the things I care about. The world’s not a mess because people are too reflective and problems are being chronically over-thought. Of course all that critiquing can leave people wondering where I stand (look at my trousers and you’ll see where I stand darling. Mmmmn). Truth is I think porn’s pretty awesome. Here are ten reasons why:

1. Great Sex. I wasn’t alive in the 50’s and 60’s and really only qualified as a person in the late 80’s. By the time my junk was ripe porn was a major cultural force (though hardcore was effectively illegal in the UK until 1999). Thanks to porn I’ve never been with someone who thought blowjobs were unnatural, sex could only take place with the lights off or who thought a goat with socks on its hooves couldn’t be trained to do that shit. Until the porn seeing other people have sex was a serious effort, and getting an idea of what other people did sexually was mostly guess-work (which is why people lined up to read the Kinsey Report). Porn’s given us a universal bedroom we can all peek into, changing sex permanently and for the better.
2. Sexual Liberation. I don’t mean the effects of feminism (though without the Women’s Liberation movement many of the people making ‘loops’ in the 70’s wouldn’t have had reasons to believe they were challenging convention instead of simply prostituting themselves). Thanks to porn people can explore their sexual identity in private without fear of an ass kicking or social humiliation. A teenager can see explicit material, even if their school runs an ‘abstinence only’ sexual (mis?)education program, the only place to buy porn for a hundred miles is the 7-11 (which has Playboy), and they think they might be gay.
3. The advancement of women. Don’t laugh. Without porn how many ex-junkies from broken homes would be running business empires and buying planes? Before the internet sex-work meant a career that ended when your looks faded and zero security. Websites have allowed women to bypass the establishment and gain control of their careers. Money is power, and porn’s funneled it to smart women who previously enriched other people and then faded away.
4. The modern internet. Despite the lies of Amazon’s evil patent attorneys, the vast online books-movies-shit-we’ll-sell-anything store didn’t invent e-commerce. The affiliate program, video streaming, voice-over-IP, compression technology and online credit-card processing were all pioneered by pornographers. Pay Pal was built on porn (they only stopped processing for porn sites in June 2003) and credit card companies still rely on the aggressive fraud porn-sites attract to hone the tools they use to keep mainstream sites secure (if you’re not constantly exposing your systems to fraud you can’t fight it effectively because you don’t know what it looks like.) If you’re thinking of buying a phone you can watch TV on, thank the pornographers who worked out how to make it work.
5. Deep throat blowjobs. As unnecessary and utterly desirable as a McLaren F1 loaded with you, Nella, Kyla Cole and an English-Czech dictionary - the world is better for them. Before “Deep Throat” they were the sole preserve of rumors, circus folk and Hell’s Angels initiation ceremonies. Now anyone who wants to can learn to give head without choking (it’s not all about receiving, not gagging’s a huge bonus for a schlong-ingestee) and penis owners get to watch a trick that Siegfried and Roy have yet to perform. On stage.
6. Decent plastic surgery. Any decent surgeon will tell you that women check out porn-stars before getting work done and often show up asking for stuff they’ve seen. They’ll also tell you that if your boobs cost less than five grand a side you may as well just pad your bra with mince and start crying now. Unlike most women (and few male performers are getting significant work done) porn pros need to look good in order to eat and demand the best. Where else can you meet people who’ve had nine sets of implants in less than a decade? They are the Mercury Astronauts of plastic surgery procedures pushing the frontiers for mankind. Movie stars cannot be relied upon to maintain standards.
7. HBO. The Home Box Office channel produces some of the best long-form drama on the planet and it’s not cheap. Rome, Six Feet Under, Deadwood and similar shows cost millions an episode which means HBO can’t afford to run 24 hrs of original drama a day. In fact HBO can’t afford to run one hour of original drama a day. The shortfall is made up by their documentary unit, who stock the channel with content that’s compelling enough to keep people paying a monthly subscription and stands up to being endlessly repeated. What can you make a ‘documentary’ about that people will watch 20 times without complaining? I GOT IT! Taxicab Confessions, Kim Catrall’s Sexual Intelligence, Pimps Up Ho’s Down, Family Business - it’s all softcore porn and it pays for the Sopranos. You’re welcome.
8. Free speech. The vanguard of First Amendment law in the US work is the defense of pornography. While even idiots realize that stepping on political opinions they don’t like endangers their own, many people are more than happy to ‘clamp down’ on obscenity without thought for the consequences. Provocatively named, badly written laws like ‘The Child Online Protection Act‘ and ‘PROTECT‘ do harm far beyond the jizz-bizz, but the people who risk jail time and spend millions fighting them are pornographers. Even companies trying to extort licensing fees on old patents (i.e. they’ll claim Windows Media Player contains an idea they hold a patent on and attempt to charge users a fee for use of ‘their’ technology) chase pornographers first. Every time a pornographer beats back legal insanity we all win.
9. Education. For all the bad, cheesy, unreal gonzo stunt-sex in porn there’s also a huge amount to learn from watching other people fuck. Everyone born since 1980 knows that men are supposed to last longer than 12 seconds (15’s fine guys) and that using your hands during oral sex isn’t ‘cheating’ (unless you’re using them to cover your partners eyes while the dog handles it). Most people today see porn before they experience another person sexually themselves and whatever its flaws, the reality of hardcore and its lack of impossible glamour, is a far truer representation of sex than the magazines packed with women whose genitals have been airbrushed-out which prior generations had to suffer.
10. The weather. That’s right, aerosolized jizm combats global warming (I can’t prove this but it’s a strong hunch).

So thank your local pornographer - a hard working stiff (cue wafting flag, patriotic music fireworks etc.)

I recently discovered (via Metafilter I think - I can’t remember) an ancient thread at Something Awful which is a mine of the kind of possibly-true information that makes the web worthwhile. Supposedly posted by a Whitehouse insider (who appears to be in the Secret Service) it’s a list of revelations about the people currently running America.

If you’re a Republican it’ll make you’re blood boil. If not it’s one part terrifying, one part told-you-so and one part wildest dream. You can see it for yourself here (and be sure to read the pages of follow-up).

What moved me to post was the sex connection. If this post is true the Whitehouse is being run by a man who’s not only a fundamentalist Christian (though it’s not as if non-fundamentalist Christianity is particularly sane) but has also been rendered impotent by anti-depressant medication.

Which makes some of those anti-sex initiatives and the porn clamp-down a little easier to understand.

Thinking of Republicans and sex (sorry for planting that image) reminded me of my favorite blog post of last year, the brilliant satire-cum-slash-fiction of ‘I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass, Hard‘. If you’ve not read it, or it’s equally funny sequel ‘Back in Ann Coulter’s Ass-Saddle Again‘, you’re in for a treat.

Revisiting ‘I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass, Hard’ (damn that’s fun to type) I noticed it’s been almost a year since it was written. When the piece was fresh it appeared on the first page of Google’s results for searches on ‘Ann Coulter’ but sadly no more. We can fix that.

On the 24th I’ll be re-linking to ‘I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass Hard’ in an attempt to inspire other bloggers to do the same and ensure that anyone looking for the ‘writing’ of America’s favorite fascist (and it’s okay to say that because she is a fan of what she calls “…the benefits of local fascism.“) finds ‘I fucked…’ first. Feel free to join me.

NB: I know for a fact that Ann Coulter regularly call’s pornsters in LA trying to find underground scat parties. That’s right, you heard it here first - she loves the brown (check out her easy-clean scat-munchers dress above). Nasty.

“Advertising is 85% confusion and 15% commission” - Fred Allen

I’ve been spending a lot of time poring over advertising figures recently, something I abhor - a process of realizing that you’re being fucked, either deliberately or by incompetence, that there will be no orgasm and if there is - it’s merely evidence of fiduciary rape.

Affiliate programs aren’t bad, but they are risky. Websites using them place responsibility for their marketing with affiliates (that’s you and me) in return for a promise of shared wealth when sales are made. They have nothing to lose as they’ll only every pay you a portion of what they’ll make from each customer. You have everything to lose - if for some reason you can’t make sales it’s your pockets that will remain empty, your time and traffic that’s been wasted.

Don’t let the pictures of BMW’s and Hummers fool you (why they think I want a Hummer that’s not delivered by a Natasha from the Ukraine is beyond me). Affiliate programs make them richer than you. Content is king.

For those wanting to dip there toes into the water (and you can make a lot of money from affiliate advertising if you get it right) here are a few tips for the novice/confused/poor adult website affiliate:

Use more than one program at a time.
Affiliate advertising programs make fraud easy so the wise person has to assume some fraud is taking place. The only measure you have is being able to compare the performance of programs relative to each other so it’s something you have to do. If you put all your eggs in one basket it’s impossible to know if you’re being screwed. However attractive the deal ($150 per sign up May! IT’S MADNESS!) don’t give them everything you have.

Check who’s doing the billing.
When you join a program you’ll be able to see statistics for your traffic and earnings. Often these pages will be part of an off-the-shelf system run by a major billing company. This is a good thing. Big billing companies have nothing to gain from participating in fraud on behalf of a website. If the program’s being administered by the people who stand to profit from it the risks are far higher - elections are decided by those who count the votes.

Check the supplemental materials.
The primary ways to promote websites is via free content (i.e. photosets and videoclips) and advertising banners. Check to see what’s offered by the programs your in and how often material is updated. Maintaining an affiliate program is a lot easier than maintaining a website, if it’s not being done efficiently you can assume the websites being promoted suck at least as hard as the system you’re accessing. Anything that smacks of poor professionalism will cost you money.

Grade their website(s).
You’re going to send people to check out a website that’ll only pay you if people are compelled to become customers. You can get a strong sense of how likely this is by looking at the website in question yourself. Does it look good? Is it easy to navigate? Would you pay for it? If you’re not excited enough to open your wallet - why would other people be? You can only get people to their store, at that point your income depends on their ability to present their product.

Know the system.
All affiliate programs work the same way. In return for sending a company a customer they pay you a kickback. Your slice can be a flat fee, a percentage of the purchase or a percentage of all a customer’s purchases from that point forward. Other programs promise to pay ‘per click’ but this is still a percentage of purchase as they’ll only pay anything is a set percentage of your ‘clicks’ become customers.

You can get screwed in two ways. Firstly they can claim that you don’t generate any sales at all and pay you nothing. This is pretty stupid and unlikely to happen. They assume you’re measuring them against their competitors and if they were to burn you that hard, you’d stop sending people their way and they’d lose out. Far more likely is that they’ll ’skim’ your traffic, paying you for fewer sales than you in fact generate. Fraud of that type’s almost impossible to detect but, if you always run a number of programs simultaneously and constantly ditch your poorest performers, you’ll at least know that the people treating you worst aren’t unduly rewarded. There are honest, profitable, programs out there, they just take time to find. Honesty’s one of the reasons programs run by billing companies (who would be insane to ’skim’) are easier to trust than others.

I hope that’s useful primer material. If there’s interest I might share some data regarding affiliate programs for adult sites that I know work well from experience. If that sounds useful let me know. Otherwise good luck and email me about any great programs you think I might not know about (I want that hummer).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TGP.com Announces ‘30 Joli Days’ Promotion With Justine Joli
Los Angeles, CA, April 18 2006 - Today TGP.com, in conjunction with with Justine Joli, announced the start of its ‘30 Joli Days’ promotion. For 30 days TGP.com will give visitors free access to an exclusive photoset from Justine Joli’s website, previously unparalleled access to unseen photos of one of the worlds most highly regarded glamour models.

“Justine’s probably the only nude model who’s as popular with the hardcore fetish crowd as she is with A-list Hollywood. Heart-stopping good looks, a willingness to undress and a genuine enthusiasm for kink have made her something of a phenomenon. To celebrate the re-launch of her website she’s given us open access to her archives and we hope that by sharing some of Justine’s best work we can expand her appeal still further,” said Sam Sugar TGP.com’s publisher. “Of course with the other hot Jolie 9 months pregnant and sequestered in Namibia, we saw an opportunity and took it.”

TGP.com has built a rapidly growing audience of subscribers who visit for its combination of free adult content and first-class sex-blogging. This promotion marks the first time TGP’s worked to draw attention to an adult model via exclusive content.

“The photos we’ll be publishing encompass the gamut of work at the core of Justine’s appeal. From hardcore fetish through to the sets which have earned her a place in coffee-table books and glamour magazines,” said Sugar. “Like her namesake Angelina, Justine’s sexual appeal is universal. It’s hard to choose between them. Angelina has done more for orphans, Justine’s done a ‘fucking machine’ - a tough decision.”

‘30 Joli Days’ begin on April 18th at TGP.com

About TGP: TGP.com is a continually updated online sex magazine in blog and thumbnail gallery post format which brings readers the best sexy stuff online.

About Justine Joli: Justine Joli is an internationally published glamour model. She is the star of Andrew Blake’s ‘Justine’, is a Penthouse Pet, has graced the cover of Hustler three times and loves fetish, Apple Macs, Science Fiction and anime. Joli
