Husband and wife "adult" film actors Eric Masterson and Wendy Devine (stage names) pose for a photo during a break in shooting of a porn film for Vivid Entertainment, May 18, 2004, on the set in Canoga Park, California. The couple have been able to maintain their marriage for seven years while working with a variety of different partners on adult films.
What happens on the Web is for us and the NSA |
What we do know is the business of porno, especially on the Web, has been booming, which means many Americans must be clicking and watching.
Google [a secret government spying entity] data from 2013 shows that monthly page views (pvs) of some of the top porn sites approach Wikipedia-hit proportions:
- PornHub, 2.5 billion pvs;
- YouPorn, 2.1 billion pvs;
- Tube 8, 970 million pvs;
- LiveJasmin, 710 million pvs.
- Wisdom Quarterly, less than 10 million pvs.
Is this "sexual misconduct" by Buddhism's definition? Sex is one thing, misconduct another. |

Top 10 Republican fetishes. |
Today’s in-your-face ubiquity inspired the movie "Don Jon" (featuring Scarlett Johansson and Joey Gordy Levitt) about a young man so addicted to porn it interferes with his relationships. (OMG!) Perhaps inspired by that film some German researchers published a recent study associating higher porn consumption with the decline of marriage in the U.S.
What? I gotta gets butts in the seats, man! |
Italian American Jon Martello is a modern day "Don Juan," with a short
list of things he cares about: "my body, my pad, my ride, my family, my
church, my boys, my girls, my porn." He has an active sex life, but curiously he is
more interested in masturbating to filthy pornography he somehow finds on his computer. On a night out with his
two best friends at a bar, they begin to scope out (quantify) females depending on
their "hotness level on a 10 scale." During the hunt, Jon sees Barbie
Sugarman. Then he finds her on the quasi-government spying site Facebook, and asks her to lunch. The
attraction is mutual, but Barb insists on a traditional long-term
courtship, which proceeds for over a month without sex. Not like in her other movies where she's an alien sex fiend and gets right to it.
- Is that too far a stretch?
- How has porn impacted our sex life?
- What advice do we need about navigating this terrain with our partner(s)?
