Ask A Cougar: Should You Consider a Job in Porn?

May 13, 2009 - 4:19pm 1818 reads 0 comments

Just when I was wondering, ‘What’s next in porn?’ Along comes an article in the May 2009 issue of Marie Claire about the rise of MILF porn.

For those who fell into a rabbit hole a few years ago, the term, MILF, stands for “mom I’d like to ...” According to Sugar DVD, a Netflix-style service for porn, MILF porn is the second most popular genre (after interracial), up from 14th place last year. The company’s most popular title, It’s a Mommy Thing 4, recently overtook five-week champion, It’s a Mommy Thing 3. On YouPorn.com (a YouTube knockoff will millions of daily visitors), the top 10 search terms include MILF, mature, and wife.

The big debate online isn’t, ‘How will this affect the expression, "As American as mom and apple pie?"’ Nope, it’s how old does one have to be to qualify as a MILF? This is fiercely debated by fans. Industry standard puts the minimum age at 30. But then there’s actress Demi Delia (MILFs Night Out, Lowfat MILF) who is 41 and regularly gets fan mail from 25-year-olds. Smarter minds will have to wrestle with this one.

In the meantime, maybe it’s not such a bad thing being sexually objectified in your forties (words I never ever thought I’d write).
