Last year I was listening to The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson podcast. This first season looks at how the rise of free on-line porn has up-ended the porn industry. One of the side effects of this disruption is that a number of people are doing "custom porns" -- you send in a basic scenario, they film it for you. Not only is it a source of revenue for porn businesses that see most of their work pirated almost immediately, it tends to be rather quirky because these fetishes can be very specific and aren't generally produced.
Anyway, I bring this up because they just released a short bonus episode where they talk with Mike from Ohio. Mike has one of the most sweet and wonderful fetishes I've ever heard about and the custom porn he commissioned must have been delightful to work on. It's also a case study in how fetishes form and how even the most stringent methods parents use to protect their kids from knowing about sex can backfire. The whole series is pretty good but this five minute bonus episode might be the best piece of the lot.

Ooh, thanks for posting! I read this article and loved it: theguardian.com - Jon Ronson on bespoke porn: ‘Nothing is too weird. We consider all requests’ | Culture | The Guardian ...so i'm very interested in more!
ReplyDeleteKendra Brown You're quite welcome. I loved this quote from the article: "You’re really on the coalface of the quirks of human sexuality." which is so true.
