Funny Business
On the heels of my blogpost about Hustler's Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" producer Joe Francis talking about porn's hard times, Flash News pointed me to a different kind of sex site: thepurebed.com. Like other adult sites, The Pure Bed wants to make money. Unlike other sites, it caters to married couples who want an active sex life which adheres to Biblical principles. Apparently you can do a whole lot and not break God's rules.
"We do not promote or support the use of pornography," The Pure Bed says. "We do support and promote creative monogamous fulfilling marital sex!" Cornell Borden, who runs the site, tells Flash News there are a few do's and don'ts in the Bible regarding sex, but there's a huge gray area. Like spanking.
Meantime, the site sells products like "The Kama Sutra Collection--High-end product at low prices".
DATING IN A DOWN ECONOMY
DeAnna Lorraine is a "professional dating coach." How much money do you make at that? What's a session like? "You might consider not talking about yourself so much...Avoid rants about your ex-wife...Have you thought of going on a diet..."
On her website, Lorraine answers questions like "How do I get guys to stop dumping me?": "...You need to realize that half the issue and responsibility actually lies in you. If this has happened to you two times or more, this is not a mere coincidence; you are either subconsciously or consciously choosing men who are unavailable, disrespectful, or who otherwise do not treat you how you deserve, you may be attracting those types of men with your behavior, or lastly, you may be doing something, or a number of things, to turn them off and cause them to run or lose interest...Did you perhaps come on too strong, act jealous, needy or too available too soon? Did you sleep with them within the first 5 dates or did you wait until you were exclusive with them? These types of behaviors can all send men running..."
Lorraine is also offering tips one how people who've lost their jobs can keep dating, including:
- Meet people at parks and beaches where you don't have to dress up.
- Double date with an employed friend who will pick up the tab.
- Single friends can throw a "Got Fired Together" party where people can use their need to find a new job as an excuse to meet. (Yes, find true love with another out-of-work person. Mom will be thrilled.)
PORN'S STIMULUS PACKAGE--YOUR EMAILS
Funny Business Comments: |

Regarding the post on Flynt and Francis, Mike sent me a long email with way too much information about his love life, but here's some of it suitable to print:
"For these two individuals to even remotely seek financial consideration in terms of a federal bailout is abhorrent. I've been wheelchair bound since '83. I've been married since '02. I've been supporting these two companies since '02 at the earliest. If Hustler and Girls Gone Wild need more revenue...adjust! I am neither Republican nor Democrat...and I have a beautifully sexual wife... if I need relief I can find it. Tell Larry Flynt and Joe Francis to determine different revenue streams. And, yes I work in the corporate world of finance. If these two individuals cannot identify growth stream opportunities beyond existing operational performance levels, then I will expect a termination of contractual requirements in my Hustler subscription and any videos, DirectTV adult channels, etc. to change. Please tell these ignorant individuals that one of the basic human interest -- sex -- may decline, but doesn't fade.... to request relief implies to me that the owners of this approach need more sex themselves. I would offer my wife but I am not into sharing..."
From Greg K.:
"I'm still 'Ben Over' laughing so much."
And from LB:
"The 'porn' industry? What about TARP workers (Tampa Assn of Reputable Prostitutes)? TARP has been hard hit by the huge drop in the number of US and foreign visitors to Florida's Gulf coast and local customers asking for big discounts."
