Vegan porn. Oh yes, you read correctly. Or more specifically 'titillating tofu eaters' (tee hee, titillating!) according to Veg Porn, a site dedicated to porn for plant-eaters. The site is run by a woman who goes only by the name of FurryGirl. And unfortunately, she *is* rather.
As an aside, you may be wondering how on earth I come up with these topics. Mostly by googling 'vegan' or 'vegetarian' with other interesting words, for example vegan+naked, vegan+chocolate, vegan+****sucking dirty ***** with huge **** taking it in the *** by ******* with enormous ****. You get the idea.
So back to our furry friend. Although FurryGirl is an honest-to-goodness confessed sex trade worker, most of the pictures on the site are sent in by average Joes (and Jills). And speaking of Jills did you know 'Jilling' was a verb? Yes, I learned something new today. (If you're still pondering that one, remember Jill's significant other was Jack.) But aside from nude and semi-nude photos there's also a nude cooking collection, oh yes, vegans cooking their favorite recipes in the buff. That just seems dangerous to me. I burn my fingers sometimes and that hurts. Never mind the endless supply of puns (". . now we whip up the icing and spread it evenly on the buns. . ")
Ahem. But getting to the point (quickly), I'm wondering as I click around the site (purely for research purposes of course): Is this porn, with a side of veganism, or porn being used to promote veganism? Because while I've said I'd take my clothes off to help animals, the latter still seems disingenuous. But in this case, the evidence seems to point to the former. For one thing, FurryGirl has been in the sex trade ('peddling online smut' according to her bio) much longer than she's been vegan. It certainly seems like she's just doing what she likes and what she's good at, and using that as a platform to promote an animal friendly lifestyle. It's not much different than this blog - I can write (pretend I can anyway, or the argument doesn't work) and I use that skill to help promote what I believe in.
We can't always choose the talents we've been given, but we can choose to honor those gifts by furthering a cause we believe in, and making whatever impact we can. Wow, I think I just made a porn site seem noble. Who said I couldn't write? Pfftt.
Peace out.
