Sam Alito Thinks Maybe People Go On Pornhub For The Articles

Believe it or not, most political discussions here are smarter and less personal than in other forums I've been.

If Tom Brady admits to jerking off to internet porn, I think that means it's safe for the rest of us.

@ Puddy Tat

What I will never understand is why men are literally peak SMV (sexual market value) are jerking off to porn. They can have a harem if they wanted to.

In regard to TUSCL being the place to go for intellectual discourse, allow me to quote this classic from drewcareypnw:

"What I can’t understand is how with the whole damn internet to post political rants on, someone comes to a titty bar site to share them? Will your wife see them and divorce you if you put them on Facebook or twitter? Are guys who pay women to jack them off in a broom closet sided “vip” the great political minds of our generation? Have you been kicked off of all other social media and “founder’s free for all zone” is the only place left that will let you click submit?

Why here?"

^Why the fuck not? If I am golfing I chat about naked women. If I am at the strip club I chat about golf.

@owl - I never saw the appeal in Gisele Bundchen (I'd smash but she wouldn't even catch my eye at Vivide) but I guess if you're married (I have never been) you need to get it on the sly. Eliot Spitzer can tell you that you can never have enough discretion. I guess his SMV was less than that of Gisele's jiu-jitsu instructor.

Tom's SNL sexual harassment skit was right, though. Or as Trump phrased it "when you're a celebrity, they let you get away with it." It's sad but true.

@PAWG - I think it's _because_ we have a common interest here outside of politics that we can talk other things. Strip clubbing is a very limited discussion topic. Also because the largely unmoderated format is better than a lot of places' token efforts to "keep the conversation civil" (it's 2025 US politics, is _any_ discussion of it civil?)

I post politics here because I can and because it causes liberals pain.

Also, Alito's question was whether or not Pornhub has articles like the old Playboys used to. This was in response to a Pornhub claim that age verification laws restrict the porn creators and distributors' first amendment rights. Millennials and younger people may not get the reference, but Gen X used to defend their playboys (when found by our parents or girlfriends) as something we "read for the articles." Who else remembers the benefits of "doing the dog", "the most beautiful girl I've ever known, " and that the world's hottest women are from Moldova? All courtesy of Mr. Hugh Hefner.

Pornhub's lawyer tried to claim that only 70% of Pornhub's content is "obscene to children". Alito's comment was a sarcastic response to that. The whole line of argument was weird, as it referenced the long dead exception to free speech for obscenity. Having "redeeming social value" could rescue works that would otherwise be deemed obscene. The one upside was that some of the best comedy in history came, unintentionally, from porn movies trying to have a serious plot.

When people post about politics, they almost always just parrot stuff they've seen elsewhere. Mostly the interest comes from seeing how someone's political posts correlate with the content of their other posts. For example, it seems like Trumpers are more likely to only like spinners. But don't we need MILFs to pop out the white babies that will save us from The Great Replacement? The laughable way our politicians address the serious risks confronting us is mostly only good for gallows humor. The tragically funniest posts are the ones from people who think any major politician is actually admirable.

^ Lib cope squad in the HIZZOUSE!!!

Hasn't porn already been greenlighted by the Supreme Court? Restricting in certain states is a joke with VPNs.

@Puddy Tat: "Or as Trump phrased it "when you're a celebrity, they let you get away with it." It's sad but true."

Look what happened to the Epstein Island party goers - Epstein assumed room temp in a federal prison and the visitors' list was just swept under the rug as too many were probably deemed "untouchable" or "too big to fail" and no real prosecutions. What was happening with Epstein's Caligula parties with minors was monstrous, and those that where there partying, like with Diddy's "Freak Outs", deserve to be tired. Diddy is still alive as his "guests" weren't world leaders/politicians and uber-large company CEOs (Gates for example.)
