[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] For most of human history, erotic images have been reflections of, or celebrations of, or substitutes for, real naked women. For the first time in human history, the images’ power and allure have supplanted that of real naked women. Today, real naked women are just bad porn.
For two decades, I have watched young women experience the continual “mission creep” of how pornography—and now Internet pornography—has lowered their sense of their own sexual value and their actual sexual value. When I came of age in the seventies, it was still pretty cool to be able to offer a young man the actual presence of a naked, willing young woman. There were more young men who wanted to be with naked women than there were naked women on the market. If there was nothing actively alarming about you, you could get a pretty enthusiastic response by just showing up. Your boyfriend may have seen Playboy, but hey, you could move, you were warm, you were real. Thirty years ago, simple lovemaking was considered erotic in the pornography that entered mainstream consciousness: When Behind the Green Door first opened, clumsy, earnest, missionary-position intercourse was still considered to be a huge turn-on.

Several months ago, Hooter s began selling rooms online more aggressively, which depressed room rates but boosted occupancy to 81 percent.
The Aladdin, by comparison, is benefiting from the Starwood room reservation and rewards network. The hotel database of millions has helped boost occupancy into the high 90s, spokeswoman Amy Sadowsky said.
Analysts also griped that the Hooters slots were only winning an average of $67 per machine - far short of the $100 or more per day won by the typical Las Vegas slot machine.
Hessling said enough people were visiting Hooters - just not enough older, middle-aged couples who are the backbone of the casino business.
"Hooters attracts 65 (million) to 70 million people to its restaurants every year and is a successful American icon," Hessling said. "We've always been full with younger people. What we weren't doing is attracting the typical Las Vegas visitor."
So while the hotel was filling on weekends with younger, impulse visitors, there weren't enough older customers to fill the property midweek, said analyst Pedreira.

New rules from Visa made it more complicated and costly to process adult website transactions, and "accounts dropped like flies," says Dugas. Meanwhile MasterCard levied $5.85 million in fines against iBill for an unusually high volume of "charge backs" -- consumer-disputed charges -- though InterCept managed to recoup most of the fine from iBill's previous owners.
In September 2004, iBill lost the contract with its upstream credit-card processor, First Data, which had grown wary of being associated with adult content. Website operators relying on iBill for payments had to wait months for their checks while First Data held the money in escrow. Roger Jacobs, who followed the story of iBill for adult industry publications AVN and XBiz, described low morale and a hemorrhaging of employees during this period.
Lance James of Secure Science and Adam Thomas of Sunbelt Software speculate that the company's troubles may have left them vulnerable to information embezzlement: The breach, they say, has all the markings of an inside job. The files appear to have been generated by exporting an SQL database into a CSV format -- a procedure that would be unusually extravagant for a quick, furtive hack attack. Moreover, at 4.5 gigabytes in size, the larger file would have been tough to download unnoticed over iBill's internet connection.

[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Any porn is only as good as its cast, and the cast of “Manhunters” successfully delivers one-dimensional, incomprehensible characters that don’t seem to recognize any motivation besides libido. Though this fails to provide tremendous conflict, the objective is thoroughly and repeatedly filled in all its many facets. The girls are strong, but they each have a soft spot that comes out when you least expect it. Some of the time, they show all three of their soft spots at once. Jessica Drake clearly distinguishes herself with a AVN-award-winning performance, occasionally making the slightest effort to convey emotion, even if this collapses at the drop of a pant. |
