Guys, We Are Killing Porn

I admit that I do not subscribe to traditional machismo, and that probably, in the eyes of some of y'all, invalidates the point I am about to make. But to be blunt, I don't really give a fuck if you think that. It doesn't make it any less true.

Here goes:
Us guys are killing porn.

We are killing porn in a wide variety of ways.

Hold on. Wait a damn minute? What do you mean we're killing porn? Aren't you being a bit ridiculous in making that claim?

I don't really think I am.

I've been watching and consuming porn for almost 25 years. I think that the blessing and boon that is the internet was the beginning of the downhill slide, but the descent has only accelerated in the last decade or so.

The tube sites and piracy negatively impact the bottom line of many of the companies. On some level, it has stifled creativity, IMHO. It also financially hurts the pro-am performer, as they receive no compensation for stolen clips/videos that you wank to for free (and guilt free, apparently).
