Article on porn in Maxim, of all places

[likeasong1]

I don't have a link handy, but I read an article in the latest Maxim magazine (April '14) just now about the rise of amateur porn production in the greater Phoenix area. It doesn't mention tickling videos, but I suspect it could just as easily have, and does mention "softcore." Given that it's Maxim, it's actually a surprise that the article describes the scene as extremely predatory.

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's love of the videos we get here, but this was a good read, and I think it hits close enough to home to a lot of us here that it's worth being aware of.

Again, I read it in a physical copy, so I don't have a link, but it's worth reading.

Why is it a surprise that it describes the scene as predatory?

Given that Maxim is barely this side of porn (and some still consider it porn), it's incredible that they'd do an article painting the scene in such a negative light.

Maxim is even near to porn?!

LOL

Oh that's rich!

In all seriousness, even "smutty" pubs like Hustler look down on the creepy predatory and seedy side of the adult industry. Trust me, if one were to think that Maxim is "approaching porn" then they'd probably find things as mundane as the world of nude art to be creepy and filled with porn.

And tickling vids are porn.
