I'm wild about Pinterest the new hot social network where images are like a digital drug - addictive, unlimited pleasure with just a few side effects - like taking up every minute of the day.
I'm not alone in this social acceptable addiction, as the network has quickly grown to 11 million in the time it takes you to snap a photo. So I shouldn't have been surprised to find that naked pics have found their way into a space dominated by domestic bliss, weddings, flowers, food, crafts, and style.
I discovered the photos of nude women by accident (is there any other way to find stuff on social media?) when I checked out a guy who followed me. He liked fast cars and naked women. Perhaps this could account for 90% of all men, but most of them aren't pinning on Pinterest.
At first I was taken aback by the breasts and booties - though artfully displayed I wondered about their place in this pictoral domain. Am I being prudish? Pinterest isn't your own personal porno portico...or is it?
One guy was obsessed with naked women with sleek toned tummies. They were beautiful, I admit. Still. Another was taken with tattoos. On the net you find guys who like hairy Vajayjays and others who want their women baby smooth "down there."
But aren't there enough venues for porn, be it soft or hard? Is Pinterest the place for porno dreams? What do you think?
