Where Can I Find Women Who Like Porn? Why, At a Porn Convention!
Posted at 4:00 PM May 08, 2008
Asylum recently published a post detailing their investigation about women who like porn - the research took place this past January at the Adult Entertainment Expo, also known as the marker of a non-sex journalist's skills of persuasion. Every year, writers at hundreds of publications try to convince their editors to send them on an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas for a week of ogling porn stars. Those who succeed join adult industry workers and sex writers who actually complain about having to attend the expo - and by the end of the week, the civilians know why.
A writer from Asylum made the journey, and along the way, interviews and pictures were produced.
Obviously, most of the ladies attending a porn convention who aren't working are probably fans of porn. And in many of the photos Asylum took, it's a little hard to tell the porn star and the porn fan apart.
I think a control group is needed. How about asking the same porn questions of the lady attendees of an orchid show? Now that would be an investigation. But probably not one that journalists would be clamoring to do. Asking young hot things about their porn habits is a lot more fun than asking ladies who are contemporaries of your mother.
