When the domain Sex.com sold for the ungodly sum of $US13 million, we assumed that the new owners had something special in mind. Something that would revolutionise the already enjoyable activity of watching porn. Behold! The future of porn is… another porn Pinterest?
To be honest, we’re a little disappointed that Sex.com is just a virtual pinboard for all of the awesome porn you discover on the internet. Given the tendency of Pinterest-style sites to proliferate, it’s not even the first such pinboard we’ve seen! Pornterest already exists, although, the interface on Sex.com does feature a “Videos Only” sort option, which is sure to excite some people. This option also basically turns the board into a free streaming porn site like the millions of others on the internet. (Or so I’ve heard.) That also means that as with other porn sites you should be careful because they’ve been known to be used by crooks to blast your computer full of malware.
The weirdest part is Sex.com’s weirdly positive vision of the world. From the site’s about page:
Sex.com is connecting porn lovers from all over the world through shared taste & interests. We think that your favourite videos, pictures or pornstars can reveal a common link with others who share the same interests. Our goal is to create a better free porn world by connecting everyone in the world through the porn they love. Enjoy Sex.com!
Peace and love through free porn? Not even we can find a way to hate on that. [TechCrunch]
