PORN HEALS ALL WOUNDS

Porn is the gift that keeps giv­ing; and not just in obvi­ous ways, as I hope to prove with this 36-part series.

For 36 posts, I am going to seek and present porn knowl­edge — fun facts, obvi­ous truths, excit­ing trivia and even some pic­tures. I’m no expert but I hope to tran­scend my lay­man sta­tus and become a layman.

Disclaimer: this series’ con­tent may be old hat to cer­tain read­ers. For instance, occa­sional Iced Borscht con­trib­u­tor Valued Milk is a vet­eran of porn-store com­merce; he’s seen it all.  Others, like me, have devoted to their lives to whole­some pur­suits and are just now feast­ing on this car­nal knowl­edge. Thus the broad scope of topics.

The fun continues.

Part 3

Here  is the bounty pro­duced by a porn search in my Google Reader sub­scrip­tions tonight.

• Robert J. Avrech at Big Hollywood gives us the scoop on Russian life as seen through Hollywood’s lens:

Scenes of Tsarist tor­ture verge on soft-core porn, naked women being whipped, and [Marlene] Dietrich wield­ing a whip with vicious joy. It’s exotic escapist fare for Depression-era audi­ences that holds up beau­ti­fully in post-modern times.

• Clay Shirky at Edge.org con­tem­plates the value of Wikipedia vs. that of ten­ta­cle porn within the par­a­digm of our Internet needs and wants

• Uncoached.com provides a plethora of odd wed­ding pics; chief among them is the “porn wed­ding” motif

• Finland knows its pri­or­i­ties — it’s the first-ever coun­try to guar­an­tee its cit­i­zens lightning-fast access to pornography

• It’s not porn, but it’s fan­tas­tic. It’s the sex­i­est women athe­ists alive, cour­tesy of Common Sense Atheism

• Is com­pet­i­tive eat­ing “male food porn”? Greg Beato investigates

• Carl Zimmer at Discover says:

There comes a time in every sci­ence writer’s career when one must write about glass duck vagi­nas and explo­sive duck penises.

That time is now.

• Tiger Woods’ harem of mis­tresses allegedly includes porn actress Holly Sampson. Several of Ms. Sampson’s tal­ents are dis­played in these extremely NOT SAFE FOR WORK CLIPS.
