Professional Glass Porn Is Here And Google Can't Stop It

Google doesn't want porn on Glass, the company's hotly anticipated 
(and mocked) eyewear-computer combination.

However, we all know that where there is technology there will be porn.

Earlier this week, Motherboard announced that adult app company 
MiKandi recently sponsored a professional pornographic video shot 
with Google Glass. Well-known porn stars James Deen and Andy San 
Dimas wore Google Glass while having sex. The technique was a clever 
end-run around Google's ban on pornographic applications. (You can 
watch the video on YouTube.)

"While developers cannot share Glass apps that serve sexually 
explicit content," Mikandi CEO Jesse Adams told Fast Company, "there 
doesn't seem to be any terms that prohibit users from shooting their 
own adult content."

Google has been strictly anti-porn, anti-nudity, and anti-profanity 
when it comes to Glass. You can't curse at Glass, you can't search 
for porn, and you can't go to porn sites. In fact, web browsing in 
general is pretty limited, Fox News reports.

Still, Glass has a built-in camera, and email, video chat, and 
texting capabilities, so there's no way Google can squash your inner 
amateur pornographer if you want to make and send a sexy video.

Watching video made on Glass "is an experience with the powerful 
ability to transport you to a different time and place," 
Motherboard's Arikia Millikan writes. The videos created on Glass can 
be watched on computers and smartphones, but the real thrill is 
watching the videos that were filmed with Glass on Glass itself. 
"From the viewer's POV, the videos definitely feel very intimate and 
personal," Adams told Fast Company. "It's a shame that [porn apps 
are] banned, so other Glass users can't experience that yet."

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
