The charms of the retired life #35 Remembering the good old days...
This isn't so much about enjoying festive seasons any time I fancy, but a happy remembrance of the glory days of amateur porn - these from Christmas 2000.
I've been thinking about that word "amateur". It's not, in this context, about "money". It's not about whether the woman is an "ordinary housewife" rather than a swinger or an ex-stripper.
It's about who's in control. It's about who decides to do it, about who decides what to do and who decides how far to go.
What happened in the years just before Y2K (remember that!) was that the technology became cheap enough and available enough for women to do the stuff by and for themselves, rather than just being someone else's model, paid a paltry sum by a (male) pornographer for each shoot.
One of my very best favorites,
Megan, even set up her own domain and was her own webmaster after her first try on someone else's site as Taylor, at the prompting of her then hubby by all accounts. The fact that she was always apologising for not posting regularly on her site was one of her own endearing amateurish charms!
Everybodee's delight here always gives the impression that she's no-one's fool and is doing just what the hell she wants to. She may be faking it - and the truth of anybody else's marriage is pretty impossible to be sure about - but I don't think so. She posted for over fifteen years, after all. You don't do that if you're being exploited or abused or not enjoying it... Maybe that's why she's pretty nearly my all-time favorite charm... As well as the beauty and the skills! Damn magnificent!
