Porn Or No Porn

Even Ivy League universities aren't porn free.

It's not every day you see an interesting article about porn from a student at Cornell University. But even Ivy Leaguers like porn sometimes.

She's totally right though, you know. There's a lot to be said for the power of suggestion against the in-your-face insertion of naked bodily parts into every scene you're watching.

When you're watching, say, Emmaunelle Beart or Sarah Michelle Gellar up there on the screen part of the thrill or eroticism is wondering just how much you actually might get to see of them. In porn, well, that thrill isn't really an issue, is it?

Porn though is for those of us that really don't want subtlety. Sometimes you might want to watch an episode of Baywatch for your frills, sometimes you might need something completely unsubtle like German Goo Girls. It depends on your mood sometimes.

I would disagree about her talking up the relative merits of that Sex And The City show though. As far as I can see, there are absolutely no merits to that show at all. It wasn't funny, wans't sexy and had absolutely nothing going for it at all. I've had funnier asthma attacks.

Still, she's not taking her degree in Porn Studies, is she?
