Latest Stats and Facts on Punography

[Portland Ute]

I stand corrected - sorry about tarnishing the rep. of Davis county - many of my ancestors are probably rolling over in their Davis County graves with this slight.

I'm definitely going to visit that Kaysville boutique on my next tour of Zion.

Saw this, and it reminded me of this thread.

I wasn't familiar with the recent "Am I Ugly?" trend on youtube, until recently. As a parent of a teenage daughter (who I think is relatively self confident, but what parent really knows?) this saddens and scares the hell out of me. As I was reading articles about this ugly (no pun intended) phenomenon, I stumbled across this article. I apologize for the teaser photo, but I think it is well worth the read.

Here is one disheartening excerpt:

That coercion, whether it's successfully resisted or not, is more of the problem than the sexy images themselves. "Back in the day," one student of mine said, "a guy could only bug you to do something with him if you were physically together. Now he can nag you into doing something sexual that you'll regret — while he's on the other side of town and you're alone in your bedroom."

Why would young men who have a universe of explicit porn at their disposal pressure young women into sending them photos or videos that are tame by comparison? Predictably, the answer has as much to do with power as arousal. In explaining this, sex educator Charlie Glickman cites the John Hughes' classic Sixteen Candles, in which a young Anthony Michael Hall begs Molly Ringwald to give him her panties, which will serve as proof of his sexual prowess to his disbelieving friends. "Getting a young woman to make you a video or send you a naked pic is the same thing," Glickman suggests. A "sexted" picture isn't just porn, it's porn that its recipient will be the first (but probably not the only) guy to possess. That's why boys usually share what they're sent, invariably violating a promise to keep the images private. The photo or the video is an irresistible "talisman of manhood," Glickman says. "It's about proving to other guys that you were able to get a girl to overcome her inhibitions."

Q » You are a very active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How do you balance your religious beliefs with some of the desires of your guests?

A » I’ve always been concerned about (pornographic) movies in rooms. In the next three or four years, we won’t have any more of those. That’s something we’ve had a real problem with because the Church is very, very opposed to pornography, as it should be, and we are for families. But the owners of our hotels were making a lot of money. In fact, the only movies that make any money are pornography.

Q » What led to that decision?

A » It was the right thing to do. The other side of it is if they want that stuff, they can get on the computer. So, the demand for them has gone way down. It was a good time to exit.

I love it. Bill Marriott: pure capitalist and good for him.

When it makes money, we'll sell it.

When it's free, we'll get rid of it.

Who cares what they offer in their rooms? The consumers of their films have to press the button after all.

So, if drugs and prostitution were legal.....

--Concierge Desk, how may I help you Mr. Wilson?
--Yes, can you please get me two young stacked blondes for a threesome?
--Certainly. How much do you want to spend?
--No more than $800.
--I'll get right on it.
--And please send up a box of rubbers, three Snickers bars, and 5 ozs of blow from the hotel store.
--Anything else?
--No, that should get me through the night.

If they were legal there is no way that would cost $800.

Maybe, maybe not. Caviar is legal but if you want the good stuff, the really good stuff, you are still gonna pay.

Does Marriott charge for the wifi that most of the clients use to stream porn to their laptops, rather than paying $8 to watch it on cable?

My guess is that the WiFi is "free" but the charges are included in the room rate.

Bad guess. I stayed in a Marriott last weekend. Wi-Fi was $10.

You should have just bought the $8 porno.
