Because I can't fix your car, re-shingle your house, or advise you on how to set up a not-for-profit corporation (except by accident), I can only make excellent drinks and give you porn and porn byproducts.Not that I'm John Steinbeck or anything, but I learned a great deal about the adult consumer in my travels this year.
In Mexico, I found that Oaxacan beggars would rather you buy blankets and pieces of gum than engage them in conversations about gaping (or "La Gapadora", Annie Cruz). Further, their stores stack porn from several years ago on videotape, and they rarely look for it on the Internet.
In Texas they like gonzo stuff, except in little pockets of the state, where they watch swinger videos.
In the Puritan Northeast the need for filth is unbelievable.
"I like the edgiah stuff," someone told me.
"Like Max Hardcore and Rob Black and JM?" I asked.
"That Max Harhdcaw kid is too tame," he said. "In fact, you can't print what I wanna see." (Hint: it involved state troopers.) They also wish their favorite strippers would appear in more movies.
"Tyler Faith eats Ponante Flakes for breakfast," I noted.
"Pride a Sawgiss, kid."
I am grateful to now and then remove myself from Los Angeles County so I can interact with the people for whom "ATM", "creampies", and "Jenna Jameson" really mean something.
Anyway, on vacation I was in possession of several TrustCash cards, formerly known as PPPCards, which allow the bearer to anonymously login to several websites, including ClubJenna, Evil Angel, Shane's World, and the online dating site IWantU, to surf and download content.
I need to be reminded that, for most of the world, watching porn on the Internet is a treat, and that it is often frowned upon by other members of the household or workplace.
The TrustCash card, which comes in several denominations, doesn't require the user to enter any personal information, which would defeat its purpose.
"This card represents gallons of sperm," the guy sitting next to me on a plane said.
"I'll have them put that on a t-shirt," I promised.
Users of the card still need to be careful, however.
Though there are several levels of encryption involved in the TrustCash process, it would still be possible for a network administrator to track a machine ID or an IP address at work and/or, if a surfer is careless, to simply check browser history.
Everyone I talked with is used to the clandestine nature of porn surfing, and were often frustrated when "free" or "anonymous" sites would suddenly require personal data.
"Now no one knows my name is Dave," said my friend David John Ciriello.
