The Deets

The Long Tail of Porn.

Larger version.

I was doing some research on a porn talent agency’s website the other day when I discovered a really cool interface that allows users to filter the actresses based on what sex acts they’re willing to do on film.

There were 901 actresses in the system. Toggling on/off the buttons for various sex acts showed what these ladies are willing to do. I kept a log of how many actresses would do each sex act then ranked the popularity of each act to create the chart displayed above.

A few things I learned:

1. “Solo” is obviously number one. You have to be willing to take off your clothes to be in porn.

2. “Girl / Girl” outranks “Girl / Boy” See, it’s hard being a guy.

3. While G/G beat G/B, B/B/G beat G/G/B. Who knew?

4. Second least popular sex act: Acting!

5. No girl does everything.

That’s all the analysis I’m going to provide on the off chance that I decide to run for senate some day.

Raw data:

In an era when we’re seeing extreme specialization in Minneapolis businesses to the point of having both “Irish places with a European touch” and “British Isles style taverns” it’s kind of refreshing to see a few businesses hanging onto more generalist principals.

For example, Video Lease on East Lake St is promoting the fact that they offer Adult AND Regular movies:

So you can skip the trip to the purist Blockbuster on your way back from Sex World. Get ‘er done in one stop at Video Lease.

Gabe tipped me off to this one. Did you hear about the proposed plan to build a “gay” bomb that would somehow turn opposing troops gay, which somehow would make them incapable of fighting?

Hmmm. How could this possibly work?

We have people of the opposite sex who are attracted to each other today yet can destroy any country we choose at a moment’s notice. Putting them back together is another thing.

Just because people were homosexual doesn’t mean they’d be attracted to each other, just like there are many people of the opposite sex that I’m not attracted to. No, I won’t name names.

Wouldn’t a much more effective non-lethal weapon be a porn addiction bomb? That would have the potential to effect men and women regardless of their sexual orientation (important, since many countries actually allow gay troops into their ranks).

While this could backfire in the long term due to increased forearm strength of the opposition, in the short term, it could distract them long enough to allow our troops to mount a phallic Iwo Jima (or an exposed Lady Liberty) in their city center, causing their armed forces to collapse in exhaustion. A corresponding sanction on personal lubricants would be the key to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.

A fascinating analysis of porn and it’s relation to your social life:

Yes, John Ashcroft hasn’t been AG for quite a while but that doesn’t make this any less funny:

If it isn’t immediately obvious to you, that picture is made up of hundreds of porn pics.

Via, Citypages Blotter, and TMZ.com, I see that porn gets no respect from Rabbis. Apparently, porn can’t be Kosher Certified. Who knew?

Rabbi Yells “Cut!” Over Porn Flick - TMZ.com

Yesterday, Tight Fit Productions of Van Nuys, Calif., the purveyors of “Assraelis,” which was shot entirely in Israel with all-local talent, and in Hebrew (with, uh, English subtitles), received a cease-and-desist order letter from a lawyer representing Rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum of KOF-K Kosher Certification, a New Jersey company that puts its stamp of approval on Kosher goods. Tight Fit’s DVD-cover claim of Israeli authenticity is accompanied by a Hebrew letter normally reserved for rabbi-ordained meats, grains, and other foodstuffs.
