If there's one industry that has come under regular fire for mistreatment of women, it's the porn industry. Between scarily realistic "casting couch" scenes and rumors female stars being abused or even threatened by managers, it's easy to see why many women who are aware of the controversy feel conflicted about watching mainstream porn.

Saucypants: Wearable Technology for Online Dating
In 2017, the dating scene seems to be almost entirely app-based. We've been blasted by creeps on OKC, swiped left on Tinder, had our Coffee Meets Bagel meet-ups, and maybe even looked into moving into a faraway place just so we could use a website like FarmersMeet because city dating just sucks that much.

The Ultimate Guide to VR Porn
Digital media has always been on the front lines of providing new forms of porn for the masses, so, when virtual reality first hit the market, many speculated how long it would be before they could experience VR porn. Many rationalized that it didn't take long for video games to produce porn (look up Atari 2600 porn games--yes, they are real, and no, none of them are sexy), so it seemed reasonable to say that the future of porn would come fast and hard.

Dating App Dangers
I'm writing this article so dating app users can beware of this scam from now on. A very close friend of mine, we will call him Mike, is on a few dating apps to get his name out there and meet women. So far none of them have been very successful for him. But a few weeks ago, he met a beautiful girl that was located about an hour and a half away from him. She was sweet and kind and sent tons of pictures and text messages to him throughout the day. He was so anxious to tell me about her and all the interests that they had in common. We met for lunch and he told me all about her that hour. He said that he thought he finally met someone that was worth hanging out with and not the type of girl that wants to play with his emotions.

History of Phone Sex
Gloria Leonard is believed to be the first person to use 900 numbers as a new revenue stream in the adult industry. She recorded her own voice, giving callers updates on the next issue of High Society magazine before the issue was published. Leonard persuaded the then magazine publisher Carl Ruderman to buy many of these and soon the magazine's business was flourishing.

Porn Is the Invisible Hand of Technology
Technology creates sexology improves. Technology has evolved to its current state largely thanks to the invisible hand of pornography. The adult entertainment industry was pioneering technology long before Silicon Valley existed. While Hollywood executives shrunk from the release of the VCR and later the internet, the erotic entertainment industry seized these new markets as new opportunity. The contributions of erotic markets to technological evolution are largely overlooked, namely due to the fact that these markets are still seen as taboo by the masses. Whether the public realizes it or not, the porn industry has grabbed technology and applied it to consumers needs, wants, and desires since the 19th century.
