For several years, I had been bored. Not a whining, restless child’s boredom (although I was not above that) but a dense, blanketing malaise. It seemed to me that there was nothing new to be discovered ever again. Our society was utterly, ruinously derivative (although the word derivative as a criticism is itself derivative). We were the first human beings who would never see anything for the first time. We stare at the wonders of the world, dull-eyed, underwhelmed. Mona Lisa, the Pyramids, the Empire State Building. Jungle animals on attack, ancient icebergs collapsing, volcanoes erupting. I can’t recall a single amazing thing I have seen firsthand that I didn’t immediately reference to a movie or TV show. A fucking commercial. You know the awful singsong of the blasé: Seeeen it. I’ve literally seen it all, and the worst thing, the thing that makes me want to blow my brains out, is: The secondhand experience is always better. The image is crisper, the view is keener, the camera angle and the soundtrack manipulate my emotions in a way reality can’t anymore. I don’t know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with TV and movies and now the Internet. If we are betrayed, we know the words to say; when a loved one dies, we know the words to say. If we want to play the stud or the smart-ass or the fool, we know the words to say. We are all working from the same dog-eared script.
It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we don’t have genuine souls.
It had gotten to the point where it seemed like nothing matters, because I’m not a real person and neither is anyone else.
I would have done anything to feel real again.

K.will - The 3rd Album Part.2 - Love Blossom
Boy was her face red
I recently worked a store where one of the techs is the laziest I’ve ever worked with. I hate to see her name on the schedule. For some odd ball reason, she thinks that she doesn’t have to run the register. I don’t get it! Whenever we work together she has to constantly be reminded to go to the register. I see the customers and I know she does too. She ignores the phone until a customer shows up at pickup. Then she’s “Suzy-may-I-help-you”. She does everything and anything to keep from helping customers or touching the register. It really makes for a long shift.
On this particular Saturday I had all I could take. A customer showed up at the pickup in the store and one at the drive-thru. I acknowledged them both, while “lazy tech” continued what she was doing–nothing. I looked at her and told her she had to get one or the other and to get it now. She continued doing nothing but pretending to do something. I repeated it again in a more firm tone and she went to pickup.
When my shift ended, I was relieved by the regular pharmacist who is also the pharmacist-in-charge. I walked out and left my keys. When I returned to retrieve them what did I find? I’ll tell you. The “lazy tech” was giving her pharmacist an extremely exaggerated version of events. She even acted out my part–adding neck rolling, eye rolling, and hands on the hips to boot. Of course she didn’t see me coming but the pharmacist did. Needless to say, they couldn’t warn her that I was behind her. Boy was her face red!! I could’ve bought her for a penny. I got my keys and told the tech I would not be back so she could freely resume her tall tale. Speechless!!!

A Rosebud by Any Other Name Would Smell Like Shit
June 17, 2014
By Michelle Lhooq
From the column ‘The Armpit of the Internet’
“It smells like blood. And it tastes like raw flesh. It’s not something you’ve ever been exposed to. But it strikes a chord somewhere deep inside.” That’s how Sheena Shaw, a 29-year-old porn star and extreme anal queen, describes the primal appeal of rosebud—a kind of extreme anal sex that is rapidly gaining popularity in the adult film world, popping boners and flipping stomachs with equal abandon.
While rosebud is named after those crimson flowers you get on Valentine’s Day, that’s where any intimation of sweet, romantic love ends. The sexual act that Shaw specializes in is, in fact, caused by an anal prolapse—a medical condition in which the inner walls of your rectum collapse and slip out of your butthole, the bright red internal tissue blooming out of your anus like a desert rose (cue Sting).
Of course, extreme anal practices like rosebud, fisting, enemas, and ass gaping are nothing new to the S&M crowd, or even the gay-porn industry. What is changing, however, is the encroachment of hardcore sex acts from the fringe into the mainstream. “Everyone’s pressured to do anal,” Sheena says. “Culture teaches us what to like and what not to like.”
What used to be taboo is now a staple, and the public is taking notice. On a thread titled “Increased Visibility of Anal Prolapse: Reasons?” from September 2013 on the online forum Adult DVD Talk, a user commented: “Anal prolapsing: at one time it was reserved… for girls who had performed one too many double anal scenes (Ava Devine, Amy Brooke: we’re looking at you). Now, we’re seeing much more of it on screen, even from performers who are fairly new to the industry.” So what is causing this blossoming of a thousand rosebuds? The same user hypothesized that anal performers just hid their prolapses off camera in the past. “(They) are now only showing it on screen because it has become acceptable and there is a growing market for it.”
Indeed, big porn companies like Evil Angel have started to produce top-quality extreme anal films with a variety of high-profile porn stars. Once a trend like this takes hold, a self-perpetuating feedback loop almost guarantees its continued spread. “When a gorgeous porn star does it, it is legendary stuff for extreme-anal-porn fans, thus resulting in even more gigs for the girls who can and will do it,” says the California-based porn director Jay Sin. He’s witnessed this effect firsthand—films of his like Deep Anal Abyss, Anal Acrobats, and Anal Buffet have gone on to become cult favorites. (Anal Buffet is now into its ninth sequel.)
But the conclusion that everyone from your boss to your creepy uncle is tuning in and getting turned on by girls pushing their innards out of their assholes is a vaguely unsettling—and simplistic—one. While porn films have gotten more aggressive and violent in recent decades, this could also be a result of not just evolving tastes but the internet’s impact on the porn industry.
The sheer quantity of amateur videos available for free on streaming sites poses a huge business problem for the commercial industry. Why would you reach into your wallet to purchase a film when thousands of videos of couples banging in their bedrooms are just a few clicks away? In response, the industry has turned towards niche markets that can’t be found easily online, for free. After all, the average girl next door might be able to take dick like Sasha Grey, but she most likely won’t be able to rosebud on command.
Mike South, a blogger who has been called “the king of porn gossip,” believes that by turning toward extremism, commercial porn has lost touch with its core fan base, who would be grossed out by rosebuds. When he first came into the business, in 1992, as a porn director and actor, the industry was effortlessly churning out releases, South says. A flooded market meant that films had to be different to get noticed. “At first it was relatively benign—gang bangs, anal, that kind of thing,” he recalls. “Then it was dressing girls up like preteens and picking them up on swing sets in schoolyards, forced oral until they threw up, forced anal… The more uncomfortable the girl looked, the more the industry would give it awards.
“Companies in porn are like blackbirds on a phone wire,” he continues. “When one takes off they all follow. I think, in this case, they all followed into the side of a glass building.”
Similarly, being able to rosebud is also a way for actresses to differentiate themselves from their competition. Working up to the level where you can prolapse isn’t easy. It requires repeated and prolonged scenes of taking massive objects up your ass until your rectal walls are so loose, you can just push them out of your anus. Sheena describes the feeling as similar to having a baby—only a few girls can just “plop it right out.” Most have to start preparing for the anal feat the night before, sleeping with butt plugs in to stretch out their assholes. They also train themselves to have powerful abdominal control, relaxing their sphincters and pelvic-floor muscles while simultaneously contracting their abdominal muscles. “I wish it hurt still, but it doesn’t,” she laughs.
Even so, self-inflicted anal prolapses are extremely risky. Few performers will risk losing their fans by admitting this, but bowel problems are a common side effect of repeated rosebud scenes. While many stars claim to take breaks, even time off doesn’t really tighten everything back up. Rectal surgery, typically reserved for the elderly, is the only medical solution for plugging up a leaking ass.
The problem is that in an industry where word-of-mouth is sometimes trusted more than facts, many actresses are ignorant or disbelieving of these long-term health risks. “When I started doing [rosebud], I wasn’t aware of the repercussions,” admits Sheena. “People would say, ‘Oh, that’s a myth.’ But I know women who have gotten really hurt, who’ve gotten tears and fissures in their assholes.”

Roxy Raye, another leading anal queen who specializes in rosebud scenes, has faith in the invincibility of her physical prowess. “I wouldn’t say I’m concerned about the long term. Over the six years I have done this I have always healed very well,” she claims. “I don’t think the average joe realizes how elastic of a muscle your ass is. Maybe I’ll be the first guinea pig to report back on the results in ten to 15 years.”
The dominant attitude of the industry toward the possible side effects of repeated rosebudding is perhaps best captured by Jay Sin, who has directed Roxy in several of his films. “If there are [side effects], it’s cool,” he says, somewhat flippantly. “She could stop doing it.”
In a way, porn stars who rosebud are like football players, sustaining repeated physical injury for our entertainment. Except that, unlike pro-athletes, porn stars rarely, if ever, make more money for rosebud scenes than “regular” anal acts. (Although anal queens like Roxy and Sheena still command higher overall anal rates than other stars.) When I asked Sheena what resources would be available to her if she got injured on set, she replied, “No one ever talks about that. They make you sign waivers before you do these scenes. You’re absolutely not going to get workers’ comp.”
When it comes to what happens to performers once they leave the business, South glumly notes that there are absolutely zero safety nets to catch them should they develop physical issues further down the line. He puts it this way: “The industry doesn’t care about performers. They care about better train wrecks.”
Perhaps the only recourse for the next wave of rosebud stars is to take the advice of the more experienced. Sheena Shaw remembers how Amy Brooke, a legendary anal veteran, would tell younger performers what they were in for. “OK, girls, keep it up and you’re going to be a spokesperson for adult diapers!”
For those with an interest in seeing a rosebud bloom, here is a super NSFW video clip titled “Anal Acrobats Extreme Prolapse” from PornerBros.com.

Which came first: Rosebudding or the Internet?

Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions and is NSFW.
Last week, Vice published a compelling investigation into a dangerous and disturbing new trend in porn, an extreme anal sex practice known as rosebudding.
Google “rosebudding” and you’ll immediately see the reason for the nickname, but before you do, wait an hour after eating lunch.
Medically, it’s known as something far more unsettling: rectal prolapse. When the walls of the rectum collapse and slip out of the anus itself, it creates the appearance of a flower—one that “smells like blood and tastes like raw flesh.”
If the Vice piece—not to mention a response to it on Jezebel, with the snarky/hysterical headline “Here’s the Dangerous and Grotesque Anal Sex Trend You’ve Always Wanted”—are to be trusted, the practice of “rosebudding” is rampant in the world of pornography, an inevitable outgrowth (pun unfortunately unintended) of a financially beleaguered industry where companies are attempting to compete with free tube sites by catering to increasingly violent and aggressive niche audiences. Here’s what porn gossip blogger Mike South says about it:
“At first it was relatively benign—gang bangs, anal, that kind of thing,” he recalls. “Then it was dressing girls up like preteens and picking them up on swing sets in schoolyards, forced oral until they threw up, forced anal… The more uncomfortable the girl looked, the more the industry would give it awards.
"Companies in porn are like blackbirds on a phone wire,” he continues. “When one takes off they all follow. I think, in this case, they all followed into the side of a glass building.”
The Jezebel headline is correct in the sense that rosebudding is, as you can tell from the above description, grotesque (you never want to see something on your body described as a “shiny bright red floral protrusion,” sex positivity be damned), and it’s also pretty clear that it’s dangerous.
A New York City gastroenterologist I spoke with for this piece (who did not want her name to be used given the subject matter) says it’s mostly seen among elderly women, and is only treatable with surgery. Incontinence, bleeding, leakage, and infection are common side effects. “I can’t see how any healthy person could have this and have any quality of life,” she says. The fact that most adult companies don’t provide health insurance for performers, leaving them without a safety net should any complications arise from the act, makes it even worse.
OK! So we all agree on what rosebudding is and why it’s dangerous. But let’s be clear about what it’s not: a porn “trend” in any sense of the word. In fact, it’s pretty damn rare.
“Rosebudding is a pretty rare genre seen in the adult industry and only produced by a small handful of companies,” says Mike Kulich, CEO of the porn film production company Monarchy Productions.
A well-known adult performer, who contacted me on Twitter, agrees: “It’s a very rare skill and condition (depending on how you look at it, haha).” In her eight or so years in the industry, she says she has only seen it in person once.
When it comes down to it, the reason why many performers don’t shoot rosebud scenes has little to do with employers’ concern for their welfare, nor for the fact that there’s no demand for such an act in the general market (see: Rule 34).
Male adult performer Christian XXX suggests that the reason why rosebudding is rare is because it’s extremely difficult for performers to rosebud, requiring repeated and intense sessions of anal play with extremely large objects. In fact, Vice notes, most performers have to prep the night before by stretching out their anuses with buttplugs. “No one can do it,” Christian says. “You have to get buttfucked like 10,000 times repeatedly just to maybe prolapse. I can’t think of five girls [in the industry who can prolapse].” (He comes up with three names, two of whom are quoted in the Vice piece).
Another reason why prolapsing is not all that common stems from adult producers’ concerns with being targeted for violating obscenity laws, as dictated by an informal set of guidelines known as the Cambria List. Although the Cambria List is not strictly adhered to—indeed, many of the acts outlined are considered mild by many hardcore studios’ standards—content producers are often concerned with being targeted by federal government officials.
“If you look at previous obscenity trials in which pornographers have been convicted and sent to prison, a lot of them went down for things much more tame than rosebudding,” says Kulich. “I am not the moral police and not saying it should be considered obscene; I just wouldn’t be involved in the production of that type of content and know a large number of other studios that would say the same thing.”
Of course, just because a large number of studios wouldn’t shoot their performers rosebudding doesn’t mean that some of them don’t. For that reason, a discussion about whether studios should shoot rosebudding, as well as a number of any other untold sexual acts that might put performers’ safety at risk, is obviously worthwhile. Yet to refer to an extreme anal act that can only be produced by a small handful of performers as a “trend” seems like it stems less from concern for performer health and safety, and more from a concern that hardcore porn is becoming too violent and misogynistic.
As Jezebel’s Mark Shrayber puts it: “Rosebudding in itself isn’t the core problem. … The fact that this trend exists could suggest that rosebudding is a symptom of a much broader concern: The fact that as more and more pornographic images become readily available, it takes much more to scratch one’s sexual itch. And sometimes, that leads to the necessity for extremism.”
Putting aside the claim that rosebudding is a “trend” to begin with, Shrayber makes another, more interesting point: that rosebudding is merely symptomatic of how the widespread availability of extreme hardcore porn on the Internet has created an increased demand for violent, misogynistic, and dangerous content. It’s an argument that has been made dozens of times before by radfems and anti-porn advocates, and even the most sex-positive, porn-friendly among us would be hard up to dispute it after taking even a cursory glance at some of the more hardcore offerings on Pornhub.
But it’s unclear to me if the Internet has made our sexual predilections more violent or aggressive, or if the Internet is simply enslaved to our own sexual predilections, which were already, somewhere deep down, violent and aggressive to begin with. Are extreme porn producers who shoot rosebud scenes to be blamed for disregarding the welfare of their performers and making sex seem like something that has to hurt to be good, or are they simply catering to a deep and dark need within us to see these women get hurt in this specific way in the first place? It’s a chicken-or-egg type query: Which came first, rosebudding or the Internet? We’ll probably never know the answer. But nonetheless, for the sake of their own health and safety, not to mention the integrity of their bowels, adult performers would be wise to adhere to the old dictum that every rose(bud) has its thorns.
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that Mike Kulich was CEO of Dogfart. He is not.

Although there may be some women who are game for such experiences one can’t help but wonder to what degree such explicit and physically threatening type of sex is really at the behest of a woman and that of men trying to find new clever ways to subordinate women and get their rocks off ….?
