An Open Letter To Porn: List of things that suck:

2) The Guy Shot: Now what the hell is the point of this? Go out on the street and randomly poll people - 99% of them are going to tell you that women are better looking than men, and 100% of them are going to say that female porn stars are better looking than male porn stars (Ron Jeremy is smart and funny and all, but let's admit it, dude is fucking ugly). So why the hell do you randomly, all of a sudden, switch to a shot of either just the guy's face or just the guy's upper body or something for 30 seconds? Most guys in porn don't bother acting while they're fucking anyway, so all you really get is 30 seconds of not showing anything remotely interesting. And do you know how much it sucks to be jerking off, start to come, and then get stuck with a Guy Shot? You know it's too late and there's nothing you can do about it, but you'd rather be doing anything else than coming at that particular moment. (The nearest equivalent I can think of is prepping a launch of a missile, pressing the fire button, and all of a sudden realizing you've just launched it at your own house.)

So that's why the guys in H games and manga are always nondescript and faceless.

I thought it was to facilitate the use of the male character as proxy in those cases.

Yes. Seeing that "face" has motivated me to become as static as a mannequin when I climax.

Hey, another image I didn't need...

"And speaking of the guys, what the hell is with most of you needing to jerk off to come? Here you are, having sex with women that most guys would give their non-masturbating arms to fuck, and they can't even get you off? That just seems wrong somehow."

That made me laugh. Actually, the whole damn thing did. And the ratio of interesting-to-crap is actually more like 1:100,000.

A shining example of why I heart Craigslist: people who often find creative ways to waste their time and mine!

The other would be my awesome apartment.
