Watching Porn Together
Maybe this is a sign that I am getting older…or becoming conservative (ha ha, yeah right), but when did it become common place to watch hardcore porn with your friends and strangers in a regular theater? I haven’t been on vacation that long, have I? Well, if you are a student at one of the lucky universities across the U.S. that were given free screenings of the adult film “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” you can try and answer that question yourself. Apparently the folks over at Digital Playground (the folks that made the pirate porn tale) decided to give several universities across America (i.e. UC Davis & Univ Maryland) the chance to “exhibit” the adult flick as a means to discuss difficult subjects such as sexuality and gender roles. They can slap on all the bullshit they want, the company is showing the movie for free so that the students will want to purchase their very own sticky copy. As a business major, I can appreciate it, but as a person, its bullshit.
I know porn is becoming more common place…more mainstream, but how did we make the jump from being judged for watching it alone in a dark dorm room with a bottle of lotion and a roommate’s t-shirt to joyfully buying tickets to the showing at the university theater with the rest of the gang? Maybe I am having a hard time understanding this because I am the type of guy that likes to view porn solely for the point of getting off. I use porn to alleviate the stress I experience from hours of begging my girlfriend for road head during rush-hour traffic. I do not view porn as a means to pose existential debates with my friends in between strokes. I like my porn the way I like to watch Gilmore Girls…alone with a beer and some lit candles (vanilla sandalwood). I don’t want to watch it with other people, no matter how you candy-coat it.
So here’s to you creepy people that like watch porn together…do it in your own homes or businesses…not in the campus theater! That’s just gross!

Well if Pirates 2 is as good as Pirates 1, then they better bring some splash-guards!
I think its really messed up that they are doing that on campus. If they were doing that somewhere off-campus, I might feel different. Just doesn’t seem right.
Pretty sick if you ask me.
I just watched Pirates 1, actually let me rephrase that… I started watching it but gave up after realising it was a softcore version and without some good hardcore action I couldn’t sit through the terrible acting. I’d be embarrassed watching that with anyone else, not because its porn but because the actors were like animated cardboard cutouts.
When is the porn industry going to start hiring some real actors ?
I like my porn but this would just be too weird for me. How can anyone say they are comfortable watching this in a class setting. This just setting up for lawsuits when someone decides they need to polish their pole while watching. Although if it’s a hot chick, the guy sitting next to her is a lucky bastard.
