Sex and Food

Daytime job was almost nonexistent today. My mind was just not on looking at XML and troubleshooting, thus the day ended quite early for me - 5ish. Then began the 2 hour cooking session. Been out of practice with cooking and this time I really wanted to make some good dishes to treat my cousin and her hubby. I wasn't disappointed. Two hours and many cutting, chopping, stirring, frying, and washing, later I had an island full of dishes.

Dinner was great but wayyy to much food. Very little self control, we humans are. The more food that's available the more we feel the need to eat. I was punished for the gluttony I was still feeling full hours later. But interesting topics came up during dinner. I forgot how we got on the subject but ooh.. wait I remember, I mentioned that I saw Pornocoupia, a HBO late night 'documentary', on HBO last night. That then spawned a whole slew of interesting discussions from how much porno video stars make to size of a man's mini-me.

'Documentary' or not, I was very surprised by several things while watching:
1 - Porno video stars can make up to 10k a month. Wholly crap!!
2 - Another thing that stood out (heheh) well is that during the porn clips, I mean 'documentary', you only see full nudity of the women and not the men. Even though they show some serious intimate closeups but the men's member is always blocked out strategically, say by someone's head, a setting prop, cameras etc..
3 - Most of the women they interviewed are very forthcoming and funny. One of the best line from the episode was '... on the set everyone is waiting for lunch .. ' in the context of the conversation on how the pressure is on the men. They really need to perform on the spot to not delay everyone else.
4 - There's a whole community of people selling webcast subscriptions of home-made porn and making six figures a year! Wholly crap again! Isn't that illegal?

Anyways.... food and sex, they do seem to go together right?
