Double Teamed: Time to explore the porno beats

Columns April 11, 2012

Pornography is becoming so mainstream, we decided it was time to Double Team it.

Clorisa: Here’s the funny thing about pornography: my understanding is that it’s abundant, and free, but if someone was like, “Clorisa, go find us some free pornography,” I wouldn’t really know how to do that. Google? I’ve never downloaded or ever really looked at pornography. I realize it’s free, and abundant, and lots of people enjoy it, but I don’t take advantage of how free it is.

Dylan: As a male, I do. There aren’t many guys on the internet who don’t know how to get porn. I have been on the internet with access to porn since it started. That was when I started looking; the timing was about right. When I’m in a relationship, I don’t really watch or pay attention to it, but when I’m not in a relationship, I do. Guys are so easily visually stimulated; I think that’s why it has more of an appeal. There’s no emotional connection to pornography. It has nothing to do with your mind; it’s just straight up, “Do you find what is on the screen hot?”

C: I’ve met a fair amount of girls who are into it. I’m indifferent to it. I’ve seen it and stuff, and I can understand why it works for people, but when it comes down to it I’ll never go find it on my own.

D: I used it to help repair a relationship once.

C: You’re like, “Let’s just watch some porn”!?

D: Kind of. She had some sexual hang-ups and she couldn’t stop herself from multitasking enough to enjoy what was going on. And so what we would do is we would watch some, and after that that would be the only thing on her mind. We wouldn’t watch it for an hour, we’d watch it for five to 10 minutes, and after that point it was the only thing on her mind and she could relax, get into it, and get off. It hugely helped our sex life, because up until that point she wasn’t quite sure how to relax and get off, and it was preventing her from really enjoying it. It helped. We just kind of enjoyed it together; we watched a few movies, some of the really commercial ones, like Pirates.

C: You’ve actually watched that? I’ve never seen it.

D: The whole thing, all the way through.

C: I kind of want to just watch it. It’s one of those movies I want to see just so I know. It’s something you hear about so often it’s a cultural reference.

D: To be honest, it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
