Great essay if you like intellectual musings about pornography.

Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure, from 1928, is considered to be one of the first pornographic cartoons. It is certainly one of the strangest (NSFW)

"I think I drank one vodka too many tonight because I went to the grocery store to buy paper towels after the bar, and ended up getting a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, which, really, who needs that on a lonely Wednesday evening such as this one? Not me. But I’m on it. It’s called Rocky Road-ish because that’s what it is, and honest advertising in ice cream is a rare and beautiful thing. Still, though. Something sad about a weeknight pint alone. If I’d been thinking straight, I’d’ve gotten a chocolateless kind, so I could share it with my bird. But then maybe that’s worse, a dude who chooses the flavor of his Wednesday night pint according to its capacity to be ingested by his pet."

Scott and Stiles accidentally discover Derek's secret New York career in porn. (7,445 words)

“What?” Scott asks, as Stiles scrambles behind the sofa, eyes wide and transfixed by the screen. “What’s wrong?” His eyes flick back to the tv. “Holy shit! Holy fuck!” he says, because that’s Derek.

That’s Derek walking towards the couch on the screen; that’s Derek, their alpha, getting interviewed preparatory to getting fucked in gay porn.

“Oh my god,” Stiles says. “Oh my god, he’s going to kill us.”

I watched porn on the Internet before I was legally allowed to. And I don’t think I’m at all screwed up by it. But every time I encounter a filtering system, I get to fully dwell in the hypocrisies of society, which screw people up a whole lot more than a bit of crappy porn.

Tom Morris talks about the problems of the proposed plans to filter the Internet, and why they don’t help anybody get around this stuff, just cut off material that is genuinely important. For some people, the Internet provides a real support network, and cutting it off is dangerous.

I'm not a big fan of surrealistic porn overall because I think it's counterproductive to the mission. Anything that calls too much attention to the fact that we're viewing a video is a distraction from the process by which it arouses us. I don't even like using a second camera when i shoot because I think cutting between angles violates my "single voyeur POV" dogma. I like to think of the camera as a stand-in for an audience of invisible voyeurs who can come close to the action or stand back from it, viewing it from any distance at any angle they choose, unnoticed by the players.
