really, really triggered by the 'soiled panty' vending machines.

Several years ago I ran across a very slick internet photo-essay piece presented by a woman, produced with funding from Playboy, that was lamenting the 'laying off' of 'underpaid, under-appreciated' "swordsmen" in the pornography industry during the economic and housing collapse.

I kept the link for a long time and told women about it when it seemed appropriate for the conversation, but I deleted it at some point when it seemed that nobody really 'got' why it upset me so much. I can't find it again easily, and I wouldn't link to it now if my life depended on it, yet it stays with me in my gut and my heart and my soul - I cannot shake it.

The 'essay' informed us that male porn 'actors' were being replaced by machines that were designed to penetrate women's orifices with any number of objects. The photo part of the 'essay' showed us the machines (through a fuzzy lens) and the way that they were used all the while explaining how porn producers were trying to save money. And how unfair that was to the men who had to make a living and were being replaced by machines.

If men say they would like to replace real women with machines, they're lying.
