Who will place the XXX mantle?

So, I see in the news this morning that the roll out for the XXX web sites is today. I wonder, with some trepidation, who gets to choose who gets that designation? Fro those with that designation, will it be like a dead albatross around the neck of the hapless sailor, or will it be like honey for ants?

I don't plan to let my virus guard regulate my contact with those sites; it is for me to decide.

Despite my every effort to build my image as "The Church Lady, a woman of spirituality.", I must confess that every month or two I get a little horny and go looking for something hard. I most like to read stories or watch videos of women on top, riding the rod of purpose with wanton abandon. When it is over, I shake myself, go have a warm shower and depart those latitudes for something more temperate. :)

Does that make me a perve? I doubt it, because as one commentator revealed, when researchers tried to find men that had never viewed porn to act as part of the "stud" ie, they couldn't.

Hmmm

I wondered if this was about the new XXX movie with baldy. Apparently not.

Vin desiel is making a new xXx when the writers, producter, and director quit arguing about the plot.

Porn sites are nothing new, there is tons of smut out there.

Honestly, I'd challenge you

Honestly, I'd challenge you to find anyone who hasn't viewed porn, male, female, or otherwise. It's the same as taking care of your own needs once in a while. If someone says they've never done it, they're either lying or clueless.

It will be interesting to see if people go for the .xxx domains. I'm not sure. can see the arguments on both sides. I think it will probobly end up like the .org domains. If it makes sense for your site, you'll use it, but not everyone will.

viewed or looked at porn

Okay challenge accepted I never have. And I know of two others just like me.

I just don't see the purpose of it. Its like watching sports doesn't do a thing for me.

I am not interested in sex never have been. Its like that forbidden fruit ill never taste. Wasting time thinking about it is silly so I don't.

That said the want for it does occur. Like I told a girlfriend sometimes I get so horny that even trees look sexy. I hate pms it is so not fun.

Well, I am happy for you.

As a young male, I did not yet know that I was AIS, or PAIS. Over the years, the testosterone in my body got so strong and distracting it ruled my life more and more. Another factor was that I had extremely poor interpersonal relational skills, and know that I must have put my family through hell for 40 years. In the dark forbidding jungle called Gender Identity Dysphoria, I struggled to find out who I really was. Finally after all the children were grown and gone, I decided to castrate myself to rid myself of drives that ruled my life.

In a stroke of unwanted interference by God, I was stopped, but later castrated by a Doctor at my insistence. It nearly cost me 6 months in a state mental institution. In the ensuing years, I have never missed that bleak testosterone fueled, insanity producing drive. I did eventually transition to female, and as the years go on, it has proven to have been for the best, albeit at an extreme cost.

So, what little drive I have now is quite tolerable, and I feel great sympathy and compassion for those who were and still are driven as I was. I recently got medical tests that reveal the depth of my genetic difficulties, and am finally thankful that I live the life of a woman.

Much peace

Take care of your own needs

In my case I don't have any sex drive at all, porn doesn't do anything for me.
I don't get it and it feels just a little bit "cheap".
So I don't need to take care of any need in that direction, does this qualify as "clueless"? ;)

nope

id say normal. But then what do i know.

Well... I did get curious...

At one time, and viewed porn for the sake of trying to turn myself on... Didn't work.

Of course, at the time, I thought I was male and was viewing porn meant for the male mind... So who knows, maybe I'll try again with porn meant for women... Then again, probably not. I've been there once, don't really need to try it again when my own mind is proving itself quite able to produce all the stimulating fantasies I could ever want - or not want... sometimes my mind chooses rather inopportune times to go somewhere like that.

And yeah... I definitely think simple images are never going to do it for me, I need full-feature fantasies... I'm told that's rather female-brained.

Uh...

I'll bet that porn sites are gunna be the first to take grabs at it. Then sites that sell sexually oriented things, but not necessarily of quite that explicit of a nature. I doubt anyone else will even consider it.

As for the whole occasional spurt of sexual desire - nothing wrong with that, it's perfectly normal and honestly, good. As long as you don't go out and either sell yourself or buy sex, or get into serious addiction cycles around sexual material, or...

Honestly, I think I'm making up for lost time, after spending years thinking I was asexual, I'm now finding myself having to forcibly restrain myself from getting really REALLY horny.

Since coming out to myself and going serious with trying to alter my hormonal balance I've gone from barely ever even getting an erection to living in a constant state of semi-arousal and very frequent needs to... relieve the tension. It's either that or go insane trying to restrain it...

It doesn't really control me though, really... Just makes me very uncomfortable.

how much estrogen are you on?

If you are being given over .68 mg per day its like being in a constant state of extreme pms. You may need to consult and endocrinolist about that.

I am self-medicating.

With herbs.

I wouldn't think it possible for dosing with phyto-estrogens to even come close to the equivalent potency of enough estradiol to cause constant extreme pms.

Then again...

*shrug*

One of these days I'll manage to scrounge together enough money to start seeing doctors to do this properly...

Oh...

And btw, the commonly accepted potency differential between phyto-estrogens and estradiol is 1000x. As in, it takes a thousand times more phyto-estrogens to equal a given dose of estradiol. This would mean I'd need to be taking over 680mg of phyto-estrogens a day... 120 x 4 = only 480 mg of soy-based isoflavones, plus whatever tiny amount is in the Saw Palmetto (and arguably the licorice - some people claim licorice has isoflavone content, but I have not personally seen any science backing those claims up). Of course, I have no idea what my own internal production looks like, which is being impacted by my use of Chasteberry, but I seriously doubt that all things combined I should be coming close to that limit. Except maybe for a few days a month just before going on my off-cycle. I'd be seriously pushing it to be coming close to 600 mg of the plant stuff, and then whatever I'm producing naturally.

I also spend a week of "off-cycle", each month, going off all but the anti-androgen herbs (saw palmetto and licorice).

Actually, the porn sites are

Actually, the porn sites are avoiding it like the plague. Because it'd both make it too easy to filter them, and serve as "justification" for saying that they are obscene.

Funny, visual imagery of that kind

never appealed to me. Apparently that is very much a woman's attitude as more men tend to be visually oriented. But of course we have all seen porn. Ironically what was porn in my previous life is no longer considered porn now since I am perfectly free now to touch breasts and vagina as much as I want ;-).

The only way to get a site

Brooke Erickson's picture

The only way to get a site name in the .xxx domain is to purchase the name, just like for any other domain.

The folks who originally came up with the idea repudiated it years back. Because it'll be too easy to filter their sites and might be used as "evidence" against them if they are ever charged with obscenity.

(It helps knowing someone who does a lot of reporting on the "adult" industry)
