13. If We Talk About Porn?
Were you masturbating? KIDDING. Together? This can happen, right? You’re on the phone or IM or texting or whatnot, and he just happens to interrupt your flow, and I mean, it’s just going to take a second to say, “Hey, yeah, I did torrent the new TV on the Radio on your recommendation, and THANKS!” so why take your hand off your bits while… you…?
Okay, so you aren’t jacking it: you’re just having a regular conversation, one where you totally aren’t refreshing the top videos this week on fantasti.cc, you’re just remembering the last time you really did find a good free MFM threesome clip, and god, that’s so rare, and don’t you think? You ask, “I mean, why is that?” And in so doing you aren’t even necessarily revealing your actual personal taste in such things. You’re just making conversation — safely hinting even — about what turns you on.
Heaven forbid if every sexual topic of conversation is flirting: but having a “thoughtful” — or even thoughtful conversation about porn can played for flirt value. For anyone who’s seen too much (or made too much) porn, such banter is a way to bond over shared struggles: dear god, not another mislabeled, esoterically-edited ideepthroat scene! Making humor out of the badness and boredom of (some) porn can be a safe way to talk about sex with someone you barely know — hey, it’s just porn, it’s not like it’s about me. Yes, yes, oh whatever bad jokey porn music goes here yes, you’re flirting.
