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.

This is brilliant news.
When you get “caught banging the purple headed womb ferret” you can say you werelooking at bike stuff 😯

better porn than energy drinks

Healthier….

+1 never heard of sexhamster

Porn + cycling? Oh, why not, let them have their fun.

Maybe it’ll do wonders for those bi-(cycle) curious out there who were worried that regular bicycle riding numbs the old boy?

helps protect against prostate cancer

If a porn site, sex shop or **** it even SAGA wants to sponsor #NWAlpsCC we’ll embrace them with butt cheeks pulled apart

I feel a bit funny about this to be honest. No, not like that….

This is probably the first time I’ve said this without any tongue in cheek (oh, come on…) but won’t someone think of the kids here? Say they discover the next hero of mtb, with a pron sites address all over his helmet jersey. There’s gonna be a lot of youngsters typing that into Google at the very least, having seen him at an event/in mags/on bike sites.

Isn’t there some kind of law to prevent advertising like this?

Same here /\
They obviously assume we’re a bunch of vvankers, seems from most of the above posts they’re right.

Thanks Scotroutes. It’s put my mind a rest wondering. I’ll sleep better tonight 🙂

Consider it a Public Cervix Announcement

Still time to remove the l, scotroutes.

Xhamster? What the ****?

Seriously. Keep it in the relms away from young and impressioblnable people.

Yeah, it’s not like young folk know how to operate the internet

How young do you think? Where would you draw the line at (naive) curiosity and do you think a bicycle team is best placed to be sending off messages about hardcore pornography?

Just the wrong medium. Great coup though, really helps legitimise and bring some class to something that should be kept in the adult sphere.

Seriously. Keep it in the relms away from young and impressioblnable people.

yeah cause red bull and monster are great products for young people

@tomhoward: I agree with you completely. As for poah’s comment, a child has to be much more actively engaged in getting their hands on an energy drink. Exposing them to – and even encouraging them to seek out – porn, is to encourage secretive, potentially self-destructive behaviour that is incredibly easy to engage with.

Not unlike pot use among young people, the full psychological effects we are still discovering, early exposure to porn is NOT something we know enough about, but I think we instinctively know can not be helpful. Porn/erotica has always been a human reality; that doesn’t mean it there should be no limits.

MTB = riding in the dirt, which i’m sure the xhamster videos feature a fair bit of!!

Poah so your saying it’s a win win situation or a lose-lose with physchological consequences?

Good points saxonrider

So, we don’t know anything about the effects but we know it’s not good?

Poah so your saying it’s a win win situation or a lose-lose with physchological consequences?

you are pointing out that porn is a bad sponser ( I do agree on that) but having energy drinks is fine even though young kids are exposed to the advertisment?

So, we don’t know anything about the effects but we know it’s not good?

That’s right. In exactly the same way that our parents and grandparents (or whomever) knew that when their 15 year-old son/grandson was out smoking up with his friends, it was probably not good for him, you would be hard-pressed to convince me that you or anyone else on here would think it a good thing if their own 12 year-old boy or girl was shut up in their room watching porn.

Poah it’s a step too far.

SEX Sells, Who’s Buyin……………

I;ve got to admit, i read that and thought 💡 Best put Parental Controls on the Wifi,
I know for a fact that Young Teenagers look at Porn, I did it myself so i know my Son’s going to see that and think………. I’ll Google that.

For those that hadn’t Seen or “Admitted” seeing it before well you have now, Point Proven. Advertising works.

Whilst we are on about Hamsters,

Theres an upload button on there 😯

What do you mean upload?

Home-shot in your bedroom vids. Impressionable, young people who seek assurance, acceptance or to garner complements? I’m jumping two steps ahead but if you become aware of the site, you visit. Who knows where it develops? Who deems a person under age? Does it get shared before it’s pulled?

The lovely world of the internet (not). Just because you may like jacking off to it and think ‘well boys will be boys/I was the same’. You forget girls and boys can be drawn in and be vulnerable.

Again I’m jumping ahead but honestly how far ahead is it in reality, a day maybe in some cases? Who knows.

I think I’ll let them have that horrible redbull drink instead

Hora, I think the Law deems who is under age? In respect to the X-Hamster site do you mean? who filters the content?

God Knows, I shudder to think?

I’d hate to think who uploads stuff there to be honest. And once you have opened something…….. Sometimes its too late 😯

But, as to where it leads, Again who knows. As a parent i am aware that the general thought is that Exposure to this kind of Content at a yound age nulls the senses, in doing so broadens your outlook and your levels of excitement, The general feeling towards this by me as a parent and that of others i speak to is that it needs controlling. 30 years ago it wasnt as accessible, you had to go to dirty shops to buy such related material.

At 13 years Old there was no way you were getting that over the counter, or under for that matter.

Now its there at the click of a button,, There is some suggestion that Violent attacks Sexually related are on the increase because of what youngsters are seeing and then they think that’s how you carry on. When clearly it isn’t. Some Uni’s hold workshops for teens explaining these simple factors and what is and isn’t acceptable.

I personally think it’s wrong that they are sponsoring it, but deep down i think it;s a bit of a wind up.

It’s a question of how old you look and subjectivity of a mod(?). A 15yr old could pass for 17/18 depending on who is moderating(?) Which law(s) do the site host/owner follow as well? How long after an upload is something removed?

Anyway. I think I’m thinking too deep into the adverts on bicycles topic.

Poah, I really don’t think that energy drinks are even In the same league as pron on the ‘things we shouldn’t expose kids to’ list.

I’ve never heard of anyone have a warped view on sex, relationships, the opposite sex, and gender roles from an energy drink.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have a problem with pron, so long as the person viewing it knows how to handle it. I’m not convinced a lot of adults do, never mind immature, both physically and mentally, youngsters. While it may not be the greatest cinematic work of our time, ‘Sex Ed’ with Haley Joel Osmond deals with exactly this. Was on tv t’other day which is why it sprung to mind

What defines sexism in these matters?

Is it something to do with stimulation of the clitoris?

Or less visibly, the G spot?

Is ass to mouth the eqivalent of riding without a mudguard? #enduro

Looks legit one for the bookmarks me tinks.

Can’t see the problem they don’t seem to discriminate against any orifice.

I don’t like the idea that a porn site is just respectable media like anything else. What’s the point, if it doesn’t make you feel soiled?

@ Northwind – Theres specialist sites for that sort of thing! No need to link you any as I’m sure you’ve got a folder setup and a thorough history cleansing (Gutmann or higher) regime in place.

There’s a league table of webcams earners on XHampster

You look at how much “Micaah” is taking of punters everynight.

Now ask yourself, who’s being taken advantage of ?

,,, Yeah I guess she actually gets a fraction of that though
