Whilst I may be new to XPT, I'm a long time lurker. Whilst first I was drawn in by the adolescent thrill of tits and whores, what kept me coming back was the pseudo-philosophical spastic ramblings of people like Da Burg, the Arab, jamesn, etc. There's a lot of intelligence on this board, shown in the acerbic wit of the monkey and the aforementioned harvard graduates, and amongst such posters as gia jordan, whose eclectic interests, combined with her interest in black metal make her my perfect girl (apart from the whole sex for money thing...). Where's this post going? Nowhere.

Except it got me thinking why the fuck people of seemingly large mental capacities would hang out on a board dealing with porn, a subject matter not generally associated with minds that much more advanced than Courtney Love. But then again, I think of myself as a man of reasonable intelligence and I'm here. So cognitive dissonance kicked in, and I was able to rationalise it away: porn poses so many questions. As simp/CAOH would say: why? And so we sit here, and post.

I will end this boring and unnecessary post with some deep thinking by one of the great thinkers of our time, Mary Carey:
Quote:

"Back in October, I was really Christian. I had a nervous breakdown and totally went Christian. Then Red Velvet, my little miracle worker, showed me some of the stuff wasn't right. I was convinced that the world was ending and the Chinese were bombing us. If you read the end of the Bible, Revelation, it talks about the seven trumpets. You can relate some of the seven trumpets to the modern day.

"Being a devout Christian wasn't as fun because none of my friends were devout Christians. When I hung out with the devout Christians, I felt like I didn't fit in. I felt like I had a potty mouth.

"I was with the Oneness Church and Episcopalian.

"I do have my own spirituality. I'm a good person. Just because I do porn doesn't make me a bad person. I help the homeless. I give money. I donate my clothes to the maid's service. Just because you have sex a lot doesn't mean you're a bad person.

"I argued with them that God invented sex (before marriage) and alcohol and they argued that Satan did. Then why did God let Satan put so much bad on the earth?

"I'm 25. I'm sure that when I'm old, like 30, I'm going to want to change my mind. Right now I just want to have fun. According to the Bible, the world's not going to end for seven years anyway."
