Work & porn & surveys?

OK, so I've been sitting here trying to think of what to write. To be honest, not much fun is going on around here. Work-wise, I'm just encoding some dull dull dull all-girl softcore, a process that ties up my Mac completely and means I can't do any video editing at the same time. I don't have any web stuff to do at the moment. So I'm just kicking back with mutiple coffees and reading lots of dirty magazines. Some of them are very dirty indeed. I don't like a few of them at all, especially some of the US ones like Fox. Fox has a monthly spread with a nakes girl covered in targets, the aim of the game being, I presume, to jizz on her tits/ass/mouth etc. I dunno, maybe I'm over-sensitive, but that's just a bit on the nasty side.

I'm glad that my employer doesn't make movies of the Max Hardcore-type, "raincoater", genre. The films we make here are all about beautiful women (and to some extent, decent-looking blokes) fucking. There's none of that Max-style medical instruments stuff going on. About the nastiest thing I've seen here was a film with a girl called Jamie Woods, who's known for the fact that she talks dirty constantly during her scenes, and likes to gag herself on guys' cocks. None of that comes from the director, it's just what she likes to do (I get the impression it makes her very popular!).

Anyhow... I don't think I would have come to work here if they were making that kind of porn. I guess I'm in two minds about it: on the one hand, the girls are being paid and they know what they're getting into when they make a movie with someone like Max Hardcore; on the other hand, the feminist in me thinks anything in which a girl tells a male performer to stop and appears to be hurt (even if she is acting) is 'wrong'.

The one type of film we make here that I really like are the foot fetish ones. I'm not a foot fetishist myself, but I think there's something quite... charming about foot fetishists. The "leg sex" films we make usually involve some degree of the guy worshipping the woman (who will be wearing magnificent stockings and stilettos), the usual boy/girl fucking (with emphasis on positions in which you can really see her feet), then the guy coming over her feet or shoes. Call me strange, but I think there's something quite cute about that. The guys in the leg sex movies are usually playing a more submissive role, and the woman is always the one in control - usually because he's rendered helpless by her amazing legs and feet.

Since writing that last paragraph, I have been to Asda and back and decided that I want to compose a survey. Not sure what sort of questions to ask which haven't been asked a million times before, though... Any suggestions?

Miss anything?
