flickr friends porn the internet is NOT fun

The internet still has the capacity to surprise and disgust me, oddly

See this photo? I titled it “neck veins” for obvious reasons.

neck veins

Someone called “veinale” on Flickr favorited it tonight. I clicked through to veinale’s profile and found this (probably NSFW unless you work at a nipple clamp factory). (One of veinale’s contacts is nudedude840, whose photostream is full of women’s necks, stressed so the veins pop. Bokay.)

Anyhoo, many of veinale’s photos advertise a site called veinywoman.com. I’m not hyperlinking it because oh, for fuck’s sake, do I even have to explain myself on this one? Turns out veinywoman.com is in English and German. Those crazy Germans. Also those crazy English speakers. If you click through the scary warning screen, you’ll find “the internet’s home for the most beautiful women with strongly pronounced veins in the world.” And I can say with reasonable confidence that I have never seen a site with such a robust collection of thick-veined women. Maybe I’m sheltered and maybe I’m a little on the vanilla side, but I have never heard of a vein fetish. More power to vein fetishists, of course. Blah blah to each his own hooey. At first blush, many of the veiny women pictured seem extremely muscular, like bodybuilder types. But the flipside of that is that is that a lot of the women pictured seem extremely thin. Malnourished, even. Ooookay?

And oh hey, there are some who are clearly anorexic or possibly in very advanced stages of cancer. Like Kristine (warning: that is a disturbing photo). Jesus. Someone get that woman some help. Her fetish-modeling career can come after she’s gotten some fucking nourishment. I just don’t even know what to think.

Other than the requisite ickiness, of course.

Anyway, I hope Nick and JR don’t mind a pro-ana vein fetishist favoriting their photo.

  1. Thank you so much for this. The cool breeze, the singing birds, and the pretty gray kitty lounging in the grass outside as the neighbor children play pirates was making me feel so good about the world. I needed to get my cynicism back for today’s family reunion and this has done the trick.

  2. I’m glad you’re out there checking out the Internet’s deep crevices and reporting back so I don’t have to. ‘preciate it.
