Story on road cc about a Eurpoean downhill team being sponsored by Xhamster (don't act like you don't know).
http://road.cc/content/news/179795-only-italy-worlds-3rd-biggest-porn-site-sponsors-cycling-team
Whilst the content of such a site may have content for everybody, i'm not sure how appropriate it is.

I imagine the team launch will be ticket only and wipe clean.

As long as they're not on the Gere.

Brings a new meaning to "go hard or go home".

It's part of the continuing drive to make any form of looking at attractive women a BAD THING.

Hmmm, one wonders if they shouldn't have concentrated on enduro rather than downhill?

Mind you, I suppose that DH involves lots of bouncing around, though it's all over in a couple of minutes and you'll be glad you wore protection...

I thought it was go big or go home.
Either way I guess it still works.

I can see why people may see this as inappropriate but I don't see how it's sexist, there's as many male as female performers in the material they provide and I'd also suggest it's watched by plenty of female's too.

Nope, no history of objectification and exploitation in the porn industry, no-sirr-ee-bob.

I shouldn't laugh. Can't help it considering the fuss about a non-topless woman used to promote pads, and now hardcore porn sponsoring a cycling team! The PC brigade are going to shit a brick!

Correct, but it's not far off, there's same sex stuff available for both sexes I believe. You also have female stars earning much more than their male co-stars,

It's an outrage, equal pay for the men!

So far, in selected paraphrases:

"i'm completely blind to sexism, it has no affect on my life, so it can't exist and there is no problem"

"I wrongfully conflate challenges to sexism as a direct affront to my right to look at women/have a sex life"

Some more beauts on the way i'm sure. Gonna end well i'm sure...

It's showing women that they can do more than wash dishes.

Is anyone else wondering what the 1st and 2nd biggest sites are?

Edit:

Love the quote....

[We] tend to believe that cycling, as xHamster, is all about passion, commitment and a great deal of teamwork.

....but is frequently a solo exercise
🙂

Is the OP another hand wringing wet ?

Sexist - hardly.

I think you'll find that XHmaster along with many other such site truly represents the full and rich spectrum of our multicultural and highly varied society. All tastes, genders and sexualities fully accounted for.

We don't use the word Glentress any more. Both sexes are now Glentors.

And several people who conflate objectification with sexism. There's a debate to be had about this, but it's not regarding sexism (unless you are genuinely concerned about the low rates of pay for men in the industry).

Not sure if you're trying to suggest that sexual objectification has nothing to do with sexism..?

No, there's an obvious link, but it's an industry that treats everyone badly. If you've got netflix go watch the louix theroux episode on it for a sobering look at the life of the male stars.

The impact on sexism has way more to do with the effect on the consumers rather than those involved in its production.

Agree what you say about the industry. I think i've seen that documentary and other similar ones, the 'reality' of the industry is pretty bloody grim...

edit: and above - absolutely.
