Garry’s Mod Theater Add-On Facilitates Communal Porn Viewing

Garry’s Mod is a modification for Half-Life 2 that became extremely popular for fostering creativity among its users. Garry’s Mod can be further customized with user-made models, custom maps, and a host of modifications. One such modification is Cinema. As the name suggests, Cinema allows players to host their own private theaters, where they can stream movies from YouTube, Vimeo, and a variety of other movie hosting services—including porn sites. There are a number of other modifications which offer similar functionality.

“With Cinema you can watch internet videos with your friends from the comfort of a virtual theater! How ace is that? Settle down to watch the latest action flick, catch up on the latest adventure time together, challenge each other to get through your favorite horror show! First one to leave the room is a chicken!”

Or the first one to finish and find themselves in dire need of some wet wipes, as the case may be. Aside from its more innocuous uses, Cinema is also used to stream porn, where multiple users watch porn together.  

Why do people even join these Garry's Mod servers where they stream pornographic movies? Is it for the communal experience? Do these men enjoy spanking it in front of other men but aren't brave enough to do in real life. Do they have friends in real life that they wish they could do it with? 

I've read of stories where fathers and sons sit together and watch pornography on the TV while their mom is asleep. I've actually read stories like that. And it's hard to say whether it's just the fantasizing an overactive teenage mind or whether it's something people actually do. It wouldn't surprise me that there are people who actually do that. They would of course claim (either truthfully or not) that there's nothing sexual between the father and son, brother and brother, or friend and friend, all of whom experience male bonding in the same way the Greeks did way back in Classical Antiquity. 

By masturbating in the company of each other.

Seen through a modern lens, those toga wearers were nothing more than a bunch of perverts who enjoyed each other’s company way too much, but who are we to judge as we masturbate in dark, alone, and in solitude? What does that say about us—about who we are? Have we lost that human touch? Is jerking off on a server full other horny men a way of getting back to our communal roots? 

I wouldn’t know. But maybe these guys do.
