(Reuters) - A stash of pornography hard porn was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday. The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity. The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials. Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography. But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from http://www.hardsexporn.org the compound showed bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment. Materials carted away from the compound by the U.S. commandos included digital thumb drives, which U.S. officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the late al Qaeda leader. Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.

Hey all, Long time no talk! Sorry I haven't been free porn around to contribute as much as I used to be, but RL has been basically complete insanity ever since January. But that's really neither here nor there... Anyway, I ran across this article in Psychology Today, and wanted to get your impressions from it... http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cupids-poisoned-arrow/201001/wa... Not being a psychological professional myself, http://www.pornloves.org I can't really speak to the content with any degree of certainty, but this does seem to jive with what I've read in social criticisms of modern televised entertainment about "jolts" to the brain. However, I also think that there is probably a cultural component to this link as well... basically if American culture didn't treat sex as such a taboo thing, then masturbation would probably not be quite as big a cause of social anxiety. But then again, if sex wasn't treated as such a taboo, there would probably be somewhat less demand for internet porn as well... I don't know... it's been a day since I read the article, and I just got off a 12 hour shift at work, so my brain isn't exactly lighting up all the way tonight (to maintain the theme of the article...). As for the article itself, something else I remember that struck me is the quotes at the end from the former porn addicts. The way they spoke and the language they used seemed a little narm-y to me... almost like Christian conversion testimonies... But what I really want to know is what everyone else on here thinks about it... (Also... I'm back!)

Home movies and videos Before the advent of camcorders and indian porn VHS tapes couples had to film themselves using Super 8 film which then had to be sent for film processing. This was both expensive and risky as the processing laboratory might report the film to the police.[2] Amateur pornography began to rapidly increase in the 1980s, with the camcorder revolution, when people began recording their sex lives and watching the results on VCRs.[2] These home movies were initially shared for free, often under the counter at the local video store, and then amateurs began distributing their tapes for profit.[3] In 1991 in response to a Boston Globe investigation, video store proprietors reported that between 20 and 60% of video rentals and sales were of adult amateur home video films.[4] One infamous case was that of Kathy Willets and her husband Jeffrey. Jeffrey was a Deputy Sheriff in Broward County, Florida who had recorded his "nymphomaniac" wife's sexual exploits with up to 8 men a day.[5] Unfortunately he was charging up to $150 an hour and had also taped some significant local figures and so the two were arrested and charged with prostitution. Ellis Rubin acted as defence council and their defence was that her nymphomania was caused by the use of Prozac. In the end they pleaded guilty and both were convicted, although Kathy has gone on to a career in the adult film industry.[6] Watchersweb claims to be the first company to distribute amateur home videos.[7] The company was founded in 1998 by Ray and Raven Youngman from Australia and the site was launched in 1999. [8] As demand for films to swap grew, they turned their hobby into a business, advertising for amateur exhibitionists around the world who sent in their private tapes.[7] Several people who sent their tapes to Homegrown Video became professional porn stars, including Stephanie Swift, Melissa Hill and Rayveness.[7] The term realcore has been used to describe digital amateur porn, which arose due to the combination of cheap digital cameras and the World Wide Web in the late 90s. The term refers both to how porn is made, with simple cameras and a documentary style, and how it is distributed, mostly for free, in Web communities or Usenet newsgroups. The term was invented by Sergio Messina, who first used it at the Ars Electronica Symposium in 2000, and was subsequently adopted by a number of authors and experts. Sergio Messina has written a book on the subject, entitled Realcore, the digital porno revolution.[9][10] Amateur porn has also influenced the rise of http://www.indianpornxxx.net the celebrity sex tape, featuring stars like Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.[7] [edit] Literature - sex stories The internet has also had an impact on amateur authors sharing their pornographic stories. Text is much easier to disseminate than images and so from the early 1990s amateurs were contributing stories to usenet groups such as alt.sex.stories and also to online repositories. While most commercial sites charge for image content, story content is usually free to view and is funded by pop-up or banner advertising. Story submission and rating depends on registration as a user, but this is also usually free. Example sites include Literotica, True Dirty Stories and Lust Library

"The major research website makes it difficult to porn movie/a> find 70s-porno data," I wrote. "if you go to IMdb and type in the words Deep Throat (or School Girl, or Behind the Green Door), you will not find the movie; porno is listed only under the actor or director's name." And it can't be a matter of bandwidth; the actor Peter North is credited with 1,587 porn movies, and each title has its own listing. I surmise that IMDb doesn't highlight porn pictures because they aren't offered by the site's parent company, amazon.com. I got a clarification from reader Ben Jennings: "In order to search for adult titles on http://www.pornmovietube.net IMDb, you simply need to enable it in the Search Preferences section of your personal account options." Sorry, but... "personal account options"? It sounds like Bush's plan for Social Security. I have used IMDb dozens of time a day, nearly every day, for 10 years, and never needed —or known of —this Read more: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1058996,00.html#ixzz1dD73Bw9N

I began the story with a recent finding porn movies watch that porn accounted for most of the money spent on movie rentals in hotel rooms that offered hard-core. "The image instantly summoned," I wrote, "is of the traveling businessman who wants a smidge of sexual exercise before retiring, but who is too tired, timid or cheap to summon a call girl." A few readers had different images. "What about the more obvious issues reasons not to hire a call girl," asked William S. Fulton, Jr., a Minneapolis attorney, "such as a businessman's concerns about the ethics, morality, and criminality of the transaction?" Michael Neumann concurred: "It's odd that the motive of staying faithful to one's spouse doesn't occur to you as a reason for not summoning a call girl. I'd expect that to be a motive at least some of the time." Noted: watching porn can be an act, not of cupidity, but of fidelity. Extrapolating from the hotel-room survey, I surmised that the porn "phenomenon can't be simply a big-city, left-wing perversion; a good many of those renters, those consumers of hotel porn, have to be red-staters." "Interesting article," writes Paul Benjamin, "but based on a premise that isn't necessarily true. My experience is that the consumption of porn is far higher on the coasts than in the red states. I lived in Oklahoma for three years, and never even saw a video rental store with an adult section. I travel on business to a number of red states, and the hotels I stay in don't even offer any X-rated things on their in-house TVs. It doesn't have to be 800 guys renting a million apiece. It could be 8 million guys renting a hundred apiece, and there are easily 8 million guys in the right demographic in the big cities of the east and west coasts. It still seems very possible to me that the whole porn phenomenon was just a bi-coastal thing all along, so that it was just a fad that faded like so many other fads have faded." For a start, this fad hasn't faded. Porn is pervasive —big, if not $10 billion big. And following Mr. http://www.pornmovieswatch.net Benjamin's logic, I added up the number of people in coastal states' big cities (those with a population of 200,000 or more). It came to about 24 million. Dividing that in half to get the males (consumers of the overwhelming majority of porn), subtracting another 2 million for those underage, I get 10 million —of which, Mr. Benjamin guesses, 8 million rent 100 pornos a year! A few caveats: 1. We'll learn in the next note that the number of porn rentals is probably exaggerated. 2. There are plenty of Democrats in states whose majority voted Republican, plenty of Republicans in Democratic states. As Randi Rhodes says, most states aren't red or blue, but purple. 3. I didn't do a lot of research on the subject, but I don't think porn proclivity is political. My only evidence, and it's anecdotal, comes from reader Vic Petersen, 25, of Salt Lake City, Utah —could a city or state be redder than the Mormon capital of the world? He writes: "me and my wife get the porno every time we stay in Vegas." Read more: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1058996,00.html#ixzz1dD6xjLHx
