People watermarking their porn? So that other people can't steal it and pretend to be them...?? obviously??
As I said in my other comment, that does not happen in normal movies.
Like Netflix make movies worth millions, but they don't watermark it in the actual movie.
Because porn is spread differently. When was the last time you went to a colleague and said: "Hey did you see the last Johny Sins scene? I really liked how he swung his hips on XY's ass..." that never happens and if it does... it's another level of gooning. What happens more often is that you say: "The last Nicolas Cage movie was kinda meh. Longlegs was not a movie I would have casted him on..."
For porn, you sometimes share a clip that stands out with a friend and don't really elaborate... often so to shock or troll. That's when the watermark comes in handy for people to know where to find the full thing. Movies don't need that as everybody is talking freely about them.
I've heard the legends of people like that existing. Have you actually encountered one of these mystical creatures?
Yes... unfortunately I know someone that does that... you'd expect them to be young... but they are in their 50ties... and the things they share are not even hot.
Wait, is it really that rare to have a friend group with whom porn gets shared? My friends and I, men and women, share our favorite porn finds all the time. It's not for shock value, but sharing things we genuinely enjoy, much like a cool song, a great recipe, or an engaging book.
Yes. Your friend group is a bunch of weirdos.
Now that you mention it, a lack of sexual uptightness seems generally anomalous in the US.
Indeed. But I'm European ... German even. We're very cool with nudity, but that is very much non-sexual. Being that open about what you watch to have a wank is quite weird here as well. It is cool I guess ... but it's like almost a fetish.
