The one of these links I clicked on was an NSFW comic strip. Just FYI.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It has historically had a high concentration of Mormons and this has shaped the state's culture.

Huh? Was this meant to explain why ex porn stars move to Utah?

The main title says PORN, the article is about PORN, what are you doing at work?

I can't help but wonder if the stamp person really sent his own collection, or if it was actually someone elses, and if the request for a video of it being destroyed was some elaborate bullying thing.

It's Oglaf. Oglaf strips are only occasionally SFW (the author specifically marks them, it's that uncommon).

But yes, the parent probably should have said "NSFW" for those unaware.

It a little weird to me to call it porn, all of the described bespoke videos include nothing of what could be considered a sexual nature (to the conventionally minded I suppose )- you could display them on network TV in the USA when children are watching without the FCC's wrath (unless they showed the women peeing graphically and they really didn't describe the nun video very well). They sound more like customized th…

Precisely because this doesn't even cross the minds of the conventional, fetishists commonly "challenge" teens and young children on YouTube to, unwittingly, create fetish material for them. This phenomenon is up there in the top 5 most troubling things I've learned about the Internet.

Good timing. I need to create a short porn film for an art project (yes seriously) and been wondering how the hell to actually find professionals who I can work with.

Random emails have not been working but this article provided some new avenues to explore. I'll even pose as a VR goggle fetishist if that's what it takes to get the damn thing commissioned

Small world... frequent HN reader here, just ordered a custom video recently through Anatomik Media, the company that's profiled in the article.

I haven't received my own video yet but from what I've seen of their work they do have high production values and a lot of attention to detail.

I appreciate the founder's curiosity about the range and the content of different people's sexual interests. That really comes through in the article. People are into a whole lot of different stuff and it's pretty fascinating.

Also, way to go Jon Ronson for getting to the bottom of the nun story. Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty.

Yes, kudos to Jon Ronson for correcting the record and bringing some comfort. It is also an important object lesson that what one person thinks is an unimportant detail (just a picture garnish on a story) can traumatize someone else. Words and images matter.

> It is very unusual to find second cameramen on porn sets these days: the internet is killing porn-makers who take pride in production values. It’s because the money is now in the pockets of the tech giants in faraway cities such as Montreal, owners of sites such as PornHub that are crammed with pirated content illegally uploaded by fans; PornHub is currently the world’s 38th most popular site. So much wrong with th…
