Daytime Porn Reading

I'm really enjoying Jenna Jameson's biography, that I wrote about a few weeks ago.  It's a very frank and graphic look into the adult industry. 

I will admit that at several points in my life, I wondered what it would like to be a porn star.  I've always been a big fan of written and visual erotica, even though right now I can't remember the last time I actually watched a movie or even a snippet of an x rated movie. 

Hm.  Maybe it's time to order some new movies ....

There's all of this literature put out by people who say adult stars have all come from broken homes, abusive homes, childhood trauma....  and Jenna does not seem to be an exception to that, but she has balls.  She owned herself, did not sell out to an agent or manager.  She still does.  And I respect her for that.

I could never do what she does.  Even if I had her body, I seriously doubt I could have fucked on camera that way.  It's something I've often thought about doing on a personal level, with a trusted partner, but it's not a hard-driving fantasy..more of a curiosity.   I think I'd be more comfortable doing it now than I would have five years ago for obvious reasons. And who knows, it might be fun...

I know that many women have serious issues with porn.  Some blame it on feminism (which is bullshit by the way.... women doing what they want to do and being in charge of their own destiny is the text books definition of feminism ffs), some on religion, and some on just plan disgust at such a blatant display of sexuality, which they are terrified of.  I have never had those issues.  I have always enjoyed porn for what it is -- sexual inspiration.  And you know how I love to be inspired....

I do have a few porn DVDs around here, but most of them I left with the ex (figuring he'd need them worse than I would), but there is at least one that I've been meaning to order for awhile, like this one that I mentioned way back in this post in May. (As an aside, the star of this movie is on a new show I started watching last week on VH-1 called Sex Rehab with Dr Drew...).  I also love Nina Hartley's educational videos. Maybe it's time to order a few new ones.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Jenna's book, and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.  I've never really been a fan of her movies...actually, I don't think I've ever seen one, now that I think about it.  Maybe I'll have to get one of those, too. The book is full of pictures of her.  To be honest, I kind of like her better with the porn star makeup.  She's a beautiful girl through all of that eyeliner and mascara. Her views on sex - inside and outside of the industry - are much like mine in many ways. And I like the fact that she took control, and took some risks, to get what she wanted out of her career.

Now, off to find some sort of visual entertainment to purchase....decisions, decisions.....

At least I know I'll be having a fun night  :)
