The Nonsense of "Nerd Porn"

I cry bullshit on Ernie Cline. This is crowd-pleasing mumbo jumbo in which this "nerd" is spewing things people wish they thought but can never actually think. Porn is not about idealism — that's what romance is for. Porn is about urges and finding an image in which to focus these urges then quickly forget once the urge passes. Every guy I know who admits to looking at porn will acknowledge that they see these women as blank slates — images to juxtapose whatever one wants upon.

Before I go on with my opinion, I suggest you read this "poetry".

Nerd Porn Auteur — Ernie Cline

Now I have a very good reason to call this bullshit. First off, there's lots of variety in porn. If you can think about it, it's already done. And if one wants intelligent commentary, there's a plethora of blogs floating about that focus on this subject. It's not that there's a dearth of "intelligent" porn out there.

But I also think he's probably lying when he says "that the sexiest thing is a woman who is smarter than you are". I say probably because what he probably means is "I like it when a woman makes me feel like an idiot" — which is not sexy at all. What is so sexy about a woman who makes you feel small and insignificant? Isn't the point of actual sex to find someone who cares enough to find pleasure with that most private part of yourself?

This, funny enough, is the difference between what a man expects of porn and what he expects of an actual woman. A man expects a woman to interact with him and not be a glossy figurine. He wants someone who moves with him, embraces him, and tells him she loves being near him. In other words, a man wants sex to be significant.

So Ernie Cline, I know this is bullshit. You are probably betting that the women hearing your "slam" don't look at porn. If you are a real nerd, you probably surf the internet and can actually find your supposed archetype of an "intelligent" woman. In fact, this archetype is quite popular — but the feminists don't quite care about that. You are too busy spewing nonsense to state what you really want.

Which is an honest woman who will actually relate to you.
