So What's a Pornhub?

it's just business

so what's a pornhub?
lies every man alive

for shame

and what are we really like?
(in the dark)
hides everything breathing

insecurely

and what do we really want?
(as a question)
always complicates bartering

and f*****g

so how do i really feel?
and for a dollar i might tell you

why eye contact's endangered 

why shame's a commodity 

why so many of us humans

        seem so f*****g petty

                 so f*****g empty

but i don't think i need to

(as you already know)

      . . . about that

This is amazing. It really hits home. I've never struggled with this personally, but I've been impacted by others who have. Very well written; it flows like a song. My favorite works are the ones I can relate to. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[Davidgeo]

Innocently I ask you... How often do you watch pornography?

[Rosie Brooklin]

You might not believe me, but I never have. I've learned way too many horror stories about women who used to be in that "business". It's something I feel strongly against, but I don't judge those who do participate in it. We all pick our poisons equally.

[Davidgeo]

Unfortunately most people feel the same way, in public. Which paradoxically continues the cycle of unfair compensation and abuse. The most viewed pornstars on the internet blow away all the pewdiepies and other popular youtube creators in terms of views, etc.. But they don't get even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the amount of money that youtubers get. If you want women in porn to be treated fairly... stop thinking of it as a dirty taboo. They already have the views, it's puritanical hypocrisy that keeps them down when they should be completely famous and filthy rich.

It serves a purpose, sends many a man blind and if to enthusiastic leaves callouses on the hand and blisters on the shaft. Also, and this I find strange, sperm has all of the properties of super glue often resulting in tissue having to be chiselled off a man's purple stopper if not removed immediately. Actually glued myself to my aunties bedroom curtains on one occasion.......... Do you not find this too ?
Morning David, hope all is well in your world.

[Davidgeo]

Sperm molecularly shares no meaningful qualities with superglue. But it's no less useful. (it smells awful on curtains... it's weirdly natural that we both know this)

[Gee]

It tastes awfully similar to super glue and has held one of my flip flops together for the last three and a half years.

i feel a lot of what the government has been doing the past few years is bad porn...but as far as the real thing...how many deny ever watching it...i doubt they are truthful...it's like people saying they never masturbate---it's human...nothing to be ashamed of...it's part of life.

[Davidgeo]

Very bad porn. I got good at not getting caught masturbating when I was 12. While I do like the counter culture nature of our current government I find their reasoning to be... sophomoric at best... short sighted and corrupt at worst. I don't think our leader is very bright outside of showmanship but the real blame lies with the pretentious assumptions of the left... Trump won because swing voters were sick of fake establishment bullshit which Hillary was objectively full of. Bernie Sanders would of won...and probably easily... the DNC fucked up. Hillary was not a good candidate.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, Bernie would have won...lack of interest hurt the Democrats...people didn't want Trump (many of them) but they just didn't like her enough to get out and vote.

The whole 30,000 email deletion thing and the Clinton foundation fiasco did her in... not a lack of interest. If you look at the stats voter turnout was actually higher than 2012. Turnout was not the driver of Hillary's defeat.

[Davidgeo]

my bad... voter turnout was 58%... which is about even with 2012's. None the less the fact remains - voter turnout was not her issue.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that's right...the Dems didn't vote because they didn't like their own candidate...

being able to explore every aspect of life, existence, and set is the most important thing to learn and progress for self ... there’s nothing wrong with porn, just attitudes towards it ... we all set our own certain values of what’s right and wrong. Some stay stuck to the line and never diverge .... other roll, frolick and find fun at every turn. Some like extremities (in all of their extremities, and some realise life is short and what does any of it matter anyway :) If you never explore for yourself, how will you ever be able to validate your own opinions ...

nice and raw ... just like you X

[Davidgeo]

It's all just a business... even morality and outrage. If everyone disclosed how they really feel about things I think most of us would come across as objectively hypocritical. Pornhub gets about 60 million visits a day... it's one of the most trafficked websites in the world yet if you were to ask 10 random people you won't find more than 1 or 2 willing to admit they even know what that site is. That kind of expectation is why, despite all that traffic, none of the adrevenue is shared with the creators (like the youtube model). These are performers that get just as much (or more) exposure as a millionaire youtuber but makes next to nothing from it. Morality is a business on the internet... a business that has nothing to do with actual morals and everything to do with perception and mass appeal.

[KWP]

oh well there ya go - i didn’t know your were referring to a business ;P silly naive me ... i thought you were talking about porn in general X

[Davidgeo]

That works too, it's definitely a large part of that poem. I think a poem can be about whatever you want it to be. I might call someone a failed abortion with down syndrome if their interpretation is pure dumb assery but that doesn't really mean anything in it of itself; your interpretation is still your interpretation and valid in your world. I still think Sesame Street is a show about tap dancing Nazi's subliminally implanting the youth do ignore the chemtrails and believe the earth is round... also, Obama.
