“The Ethicist” Tackles The Great Amateur Porn Dilemma

We’ve all been there: you’re surfing the pornotubes, looking for some sweet amateur action, only to find a clip… featuring your best friend/next door neighbor/attorney. What’s an ethical porn watcher to do?

Well, lucky for all of us pervs, Randy Cohen—aka the man behind the New York Times Magazine’s “Ethicist” column—has the answer. It seems you should call up the amateur pornstar in question, and (kindly, gently) alert him or her to your discovery… just be prepared for the possibility that your friend might actually be both the star and the distributor of the clip.

We can’t tell you how great to feels to have that ethical dilemma resolved… now if we could just figure out what to do about that snafu where we “accidentally” cheated on our taxes.

    Can I just congratulate them on a fine performance or perhaps offer critique, if needed?

    Is it bad if I always hope that I’ll find this, and don’t worry about the ethics?
