Because here's what happens when one of your mates puts on some TV-based grot, just for a laugh -- no one actually laughs.
There's maybe a couple of nervous chuckles to begin with, possibly the odd, "Hello! Don't get many of them to the pound."
But then it all goes quiet.
And suddenly, you become aware that you're surrounded by your friends, and they've all got erections. And you then it hits you. This isn't ironic any more: you're just watching pornography with other men.
And that way, dear reader, lies the Circle Jerk.

Dear lord this is a great blog. So rarely do I LOL but I totally did. - I'm going to subscribe and everything.
Ah, thanks pal.
I really like yours too.
Oh my -- it's an internet-based circle jerk.
(Can I say that to a girl?)
Me and my friends watch porn all the time, but most of my friends are girls...
Me and my friends watch porn all the time, but most of my friends are my Grandparents.
Are you kidding - girls >> LOVE << spunk! And circles. You write for Vice sometimes? I just recently started reading it as they have them in my coffee shop, I way like it - funnily enough i emailed the editor today with a link to my blog to see if he likes it.
This actually happened to me a couple of times, and its true, nobody laughs. But someone, almost always the same person who put it on, tries to get a laugh out of it. Saying things like "Ah this is sick, isnt that sick! oh my god haha!" And the rest of the room just goes "yeaah.. ha ha, oh my!" and then it goes silent.
And im always the one who has to go "Ok, could we put something else on?" and that is usually followed by a really really wierd vibe, like some of the people in the room actually got a bit annoyed that they couldnt watch porn anymore, because they thought watching porn with all their friends was a really really good idea.
Always makes me feel a little bit guilty and lonely, wishing i had real friends who dont wanna watch porn together. Friends who like to watch porn in solitude, and never talk about it.
