I’ll Give You Happy Ending
Last week Tracy wrote a post called “You Want Happy Ending?” and our site saw a big spike in traffic. The post was basically about how she doesn’t expect an unrealistic fairy tale ending from romance anymore. Suddenly hundreds of new people visited our site. Most only stayed for a couple of seconds. What were they hoping to find? “happy endings” I guess. Really?… from us? (If you are unsure of the urban meaning of “happy ending” check out Urban Dictionary.)
I’m guessing they expected pictures of happy endings in massage parlours or perhaps even videos of happy endings in massage parlours? They must have felt ripped off to have landed on a site created by three forty something’s who only hope to inspire by finding lyrical beauty in everyday happenings…and not those happenings.
So when they clicked on our site the first thing they would have seen was a pretty picture of a lovely romantic looking castle in the clouds. Ha! I say! Ha, to all of you that expected something lewd. We are nice girls and don’t publish pictures or videos of nude girls or people having sex on our web site. We are not peddlers of porn or sex. Sorry to disappoint. (I have happily used as many porn type keywords as I could manage in this post to lure a bunch back again. Hee hee. Hey, I’m not proud, I want big numbers too. 😉 )
This sparked my curiosity about how many people are using the internet for porn so I looked up “internet pornography statistics” and woooo weeee there’s some big numbers.
The statistics are truly staggering. According to compiled numbers from respected news and research organizations, every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography. Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the U.S. (…and these stats are from over 5 years ago. I’ll wager they’ve increased a lot.)

It’s big business. The pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix combined.
So there’s your happy ending…well not yours, or mine really, but it’s definitely a happy ending for the porn industry. Happy surfin’! 😉

Haha Bonnie!
I admit yes the title of my post ‘You Want Happy Ending?’ was going to be ‘Fairytale Endings’ until a friend of mine and I were talking about me looking for a job…he does the grouse grind a lot and gets lactic acid build up in his legs. I suggested carrying a big foam roller as a joke. I at one point was going to be a massage therapist until it was pointed out to me I couldn’t ‘pick’ who I was going to RUB. A light bulb went on in my flirty head and I said I could be the grouse grind masseuse at the 1/2 way point to help him out, he said make it a “happy ending massage” and you could bring a whole new meaning to the grind.
Other than the fact it would kill his time, we laughed about it. So I changed the name to “You Want Happy Ending” as a play on words. 🙂
Those who came expecting happy ending pictures did actually stay longer than a couple of seconds, more like 20 which is enough time to take a peak into what we are, and they may not have wanted to read what we had to say on the day they were looking for sometime a little more pornish, we don’t judge…there is apparently way too many to judge in the US anyway! lol
And speak for yourself, I laughed when you said we were ALL nice girls HA…really? Nice is how you describe us? *wink* I’m not always nice FYI! And I have posted some marginally inappropriate pictures a few times and do talk about taboo topics more often than not. Edgy is a better word perhaps. lol
As I recall you posted about the Best Music to Have Sex to….just sayin.
So maybe we weren’t exactly what they were looking for but what they needed. 🙂
There is no porn here on Tara Cronica but I’m sure whoever did come by our site wasn’t terribly disappointed.
xo

Ha!!! You are so funny! And you are right…about most of what you said, especially about not all of them being terribly disappointed. You are, however, a nice girl. Yes you are! Yes, you are flirty and edgy but you are definitely still a nice girl. (despite that time…) 😉

I love your sense of haha, you are the BEST FREIND anyone could ever dream of having. The perfect mixture of naughty and nice! Yes I know deep down somewhere looming inside there is a really nice girl who wants so badly to come out and play with the ‘other’ one!
gotta run, it’s my porn surfing time…not so busy at school drop off time! haha
