Video of people watching porn

Robbie Cooper's "Immersion: Porn" builds on his earlier work making video-recordings of gamers playing their favorite games; only this time, it's people talking about their relationship to pornography intercut with amazing, intimate footage of their faces as they watch the porn they enjoy.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

They are not watching porn. They are masturbating while watching porn.

Is it too difficult to be factual about the articles being posted?

@11 : zombies… greatest comment yet.

I don’t remember who said that porn will never be glamorous because masturbation is not glamorous. True.

Still, the humanity of it is troubling.

Like most other typical consumers – the girl at the beginning blindly submits to the false promises of porn. The porn industry is a business, and attempts as providing a service/goods like other businesses. So it’s only natural that it will attempt to “sell” it’s “stuff” – except the elite behind it know:

1) Sexuality is a profound part of human instinct

2) There are many ways of expressing it, some healthy while some unhealthy – doesn’t really matter to them…

Point is, once you exploit this fact, that sexuality is a part of human nature, instead of channeling it in the right ways, society excuses itself (while consuming porn like the blind consumers they are) by saying “it’s natural!”

- Most porn stars do NOT enjoy the sexuality they engage in. Behind the scenes, most females are treated horribly, and the atmosphere is one of superficial ideals.

“It is estimated that there are 4.2 million porn Web sites â€” 12 percent of the total amount of sites â€” allowing access to 72 million worldwide visitors monthly. One-quarter of total daily search engine requests, or 68 million, are for pornographic material, where 40 million Americans are regular visitors.”

Any idea how many porn-stars are affected by STD’s and other factors that inhibit their quality of life? Any idea how many porn-stars have troubled pasts? Frankly, the illusion that a girl is the queen of eight dicks is a clever one. This girl definitely fell for it – but then again it’s not really hard to make people fall for the lies of products.

Consider it this way: a girl gets all that attention – eight dicks, from eight males who direct their attention not at her self, rather at the heap of attractive flesh in front of them – a toy through which their selfish desires are satisfied. Yep, queen of eight dicks for sure, more like a sex slave. So long as the material realm is constantly overemphasized, and other components of humanity that are JUST AS natural (ex. meaningful relationships) ignored, society will crumble…

Sure, there’s nothing wrong with sex – so long as you channel it in the right ways. After all, who would tolerate rape? Surprisingly, more men then we’d like to think (of course, they won’t admit it – it’s against the law, moment it’s not…see what happens).

@ #38

“And how can pornstars have STDs, when they have regular check-ups?”

Check-ups don’t prevent them of getting STDs. Only safe-sex does! Check-ups only helps to diagnose and treat STDs regularly, but doesn’t prevent it!

But you know… there are STDs you can easily get just by kissing or oral sex like syphillis and herpes…

I think in porn there are many practises that are in fact quite unhealthy… for example sucking cock after or between bare anal sex…. or changing between anal and vaginal sex without washing the dick (if bare) or without changing the condom… etc…

I do like watching porn, but certainly not all of them.

Wait… #7 Porn addiction is *real*… well, I Know it’s “real”, but really an addiction? In the DSM-IV sorta way. I thought it was something moraltards created to make people feel bad about porn & wanking, whilst inadvertently diminishing the importance and difficulty in understanding, y’know, real addiction.

At least that’s what a Google search on the topic seems to suggest.

And I gotta applaud these folk. I’d never let my wank face get captured, mainly because I don’t want to see it, ever ever ever. Why distract from such a fun thing with thoughts of that image? Ay!

Primal bio-circuit of life gauges existence.

Our NEED to reproduce controls our physical being.

And it gives us the freedom of choice and fulfilling desire.

However or whatever or whoever wants to analyze define and pick things apart

is abusing humanity and GOD be forgiven them all the ability to still

Reproduce.

Suck it up.

Gay is gay.

Black is black.

Hitler is a who?? Oh ya some guy I mean girl no no it was catholic priest horse jockey at saturday school with the sorority sisters …..

Do you see what I am getting at?

It all equals the same thing as in all the is LEFT is RIGHT and all that is RIGHT is LEFT.

Words and opinions and points of view deregulate society and create the holes we as the society deem created within ourselves right?? Or left??

Or is it wrong?

How about Y is Y a sometimes, and possibility and a WH ?? Y?

Because Who and How said Y?

Its all a mathematical equation

E=MC squared? or is it 2?

What is it in greek? Arabic?

What blahblah blic?

Can’t focus watching porn.

Shhhh…..

Sex and FUN or anything that people may or may not enjoy is ILLEGAL

Remember?

God said I:
“Everything with an “ism” thus far in life has failed. I will call my brainchild democracy”.
Quote, Unquote
I said God…

Problems are choices and choices are problems.

Self reflect and repent

Especially the gays oh and the WHITES… I mean pinks…(sarcastic pun— make sure YOU takes offense—and only U… Yo–)

The quicker we remove the context and meaning of words and the religion of their existence

and allowing people’s problems to be their own the more realistic and positive and logical our lives as humans become.

Very true. :)

From my exhaustive (read: 4 hours) reading of people journals and help sites for porn addiction, it seems that it’s tied not just to ‘sex addiction’, but more importantly to Christian marriages where the guy simply can not stay faithful and the lady can’t possibly face facts that he ain’t worth keeping.

Also: it was a very sad and depressing few hours. So many people intent on controlling themselves in ways that are not natural and very damaging (clearly) to their self esteem.

Gotta love God, seems sad that it means you can’t really love yourself if you do though. At least in the upright, morally correct, “good Christian” sorta way.

I suppose that is why it is so nice when you do finally find a Christian who seem to understand that loving God doesn’t mean having to hate your natural, very human, God-given urges.

@28: There’s no DSM-IV classification for porn addiction or sex addiction, and for good reason.

There are plenty of creationism groups out there too…

This is such an interesting project, I love that the subjects are so honest and open in their discussions. It’s really well shot too, beautiful lighting and colours.

It reminds me of http://www.beautifulagony.com, same principle with the frank discussions of sexuality – true erotica!

Yes. And I’ll take a window seat right next to you on the trip to hell, watching the same thing.

I wonder if this is exactly the right boingboing entry, or exactly the wrong one, for recovering-from-internet-porn-addiction me to have stumbled upon? :)

@20: Porn addiction is related to sex addiction, either of which I’m sure there’s a DSM-IV classification for. There’s plenty of Sexaholics Anonymous groups out there (of which I’m a member) so yeah, it’s relatively real.

#24 – exactly great collection of “O faces” which, I suppose, is better than the “Q face”

Cant remember the URL, but similarly, if more, well, explicitly, there’s a website that has only video of people climaxing.. just their faces and perhaps upper torso.

Mostly its pay, though, with a few “freebies.”

I’m shocked that anyone else is shocked to find out that wanking would be going on in the video. Not to be insulting or anything, but did you need an “O-faces” label on the pics above the video?

I think the real addiction here is contemporary America’s need to share their most intimate moments in the name of being liberated or “embracing your sexuality” or whatever it is.

Dignity is a lost virtue.

The third girl was kind-of unintentionally funny–talking about how easy-access porn has messed us up as a society and then jump-cutting to her rubbing one off to porn online. :D

@ #38 I don’t know where you got your info from, but I often hear that (from interviews and stuff) pornstars are treated fairly well, at least better than how most people think. And how can pornstars have STDs, when they have regular check-ups? Pornstars are probably cleaner than most people. If pornstars have STDs, then they can’t be pornstars, period.
