Why Porn Amuses Me: Reason Number 4674536
June 19, 2009
While the girl’s insides are getting a very thorough and often painful and uncomfortable looking massage…she keeps shooting us, the audience, looks. As if asking us to do better. As if going, “Why aren’t you here?”
It’s one of the things that I see porn stars have in common with models. Even though their bodies are contorted and shoved full of strange things…they still manage to have calm, serene, bored, drugged, relaxed faces…with eyes that look at you, question, as if expecting you to do something. For them? With them? To them? I don’t know.
They seems like cats to me. They can be fully engaged in something, like licking their hoodads, but then they will stop and look at you, bored and uninterested, legs still totally spread eagle, and then go back to what they were doing. Occasionally, they will look at you again. Totally indifferent.
I think this is why I prefer dogs.

Former Addict? Stay Away from Facebook
Addictions expert David Smallwood claims that Facebook can fuel insecurity in users, can cause something he calls “friendship addiction,” and should generally be avoided by people with addiction issues.
“Acquisition of friends is like any other fix but it’s competitive you judge yourself by how many friends you have online. You go out of your way to amass friends and that means people bend out of shape and become something they are not. To appear successful, you go and put yourself in credit card debt by buying clothes and handbags. I see patients who are on Facebook and my response is ‘get yourself off it’,” Smallwood claims..
Smallwood also mentions the potential negative consequences of being rejected by Facebook users. You have to request friendship; if you get turned down, this can “increase feelings of rejection.” I don’t want to appear insensitive, but if getting rejected on a friend request by someone on Facebook is an issue, then Facebook is the least of your worries.
Facebook is a very versatile communication tool; people use it in very different ways. The fact that some people tend to amass thousands of friends doesn’t mean it’s flawed; just like the phone is not to blame for someone’s compulsive middle-of-the-night calls.
