Everyone thinks they could have a career shooting amateur pornography at home. As Andrew Gonsalves writes of his time working as a photo selector, porn work is still work:

I’m not sure if anyone can necessarily sympathize with me, but looking at porn all day is tough. Especially if it’s porn where half of it is never meant to be seen again. Months into my job, I began to suspect I was suffering from synaesthesia. I would close up my nose as I shuffled through what we called the “pink shots,” as the sight of a vagina stretched to the size of my computer screen would tease my senses with the imagined scent of a wet dog. It was in those same months that I learned what a yeast infection actually LOOKS like.

Ah, the Loaf of Life!

Andrew has written only half of his story so far, but I can’t help but be interested, even it if the job itself seems boring. It’s porn!
