Jizz Rants... About porn star wish lists!

Since I’m posting blog entries in chronological order, the majority of items that have been posted so far have actually took place in the late 90s. However, now that I’ve created a Facebook page and twitter account for the blog (@jizzchronicles), I’m seeing the world of porn through social media. Because of this, I’d like to introduce the Jizz Rants section, where I’ll be discussing more topical subjects that interest or irritate me.

Some of the adult uses of social media are what expected. Porn stars having twitter feeds and posting images of their latest video shoots is something that makes complete sense. Porn video companies posting information about new movies and links to sneak peek previews is a great idea. Adult novelty companies posting information about sales, coupons and new products is an excellent way to increase sales and awareness through social media.

What surprised me was the large number of sex workers posting “wish lists” of products on Amazon. This is both amazingly brilliant and incredibly sad.

In some respects, I could see how this would make sense. If you hire a dominatrix, bringing her a present could result in a more intense session. I can also understand how bringing a present to a dancer you’re obsessed with at a strip club could result in a more enjoyable dry-hump. I can even see buying a present for a prostitute you’re planning on visiting in Nevada for a more ‘romantic’ evening at the brothel.

But what’s sad is that people who have no chance of ever meeting these sex stars will send them presents instead of using the money on a person they actually have a chance of starting a relationship with. These poor men (I’m sure women could participate in this as well, but my assumption is that most of the purchasing is done by pathetic single [and married] men) will be purchasing everything from clothing to expensive electronics for someone who they’ll only connect with via the internet.

Now that I think about it, I can understand clothing and shoes. At least in this case, you could give it as a gift and possibly see what the sex worker looks like in it… if they choose to share a photo with you. But what does a poor shy guy get out of buying his imaginary girlfriend an iPad?

It’s like a mild version of the Nigerian scam aimed at horny guys.

I’m not going to judge the sex workers for posting their wish lists. If you can get a stranger to buy you something, why not? I just remember myself as a lonely young man and how tempting it would be to buy an internet model a gift I couldn’t afford at the chance of getting some online attention.

Then again, if someone is spending all their time and money on internet porn, they may not be real-life relationship material.
