I don't think that bothers him. He has discussed his views and tastes regarding pornography (with explicit examples) before on his site. He also has a travellog from Las Vegas that includes a visit to a prostitute. He's quite a character and his site includes posts about everything from math and tech to the stuff I mentioned above.

  That it doesn't bother him is not the problem; that it may bother his potential employers is. When looking at his site from the point of view of someone who could be interested in hiring him, it certainly leaves a strong impression - but unfortunately, not a positive one.

If you are a person, there is a very good chance you masturbate sometimes. So the next time you masturbate, think about how you are similar to Xah Lee, except that you are also a hypocrite and a public bully about this thing you also do.

Why is porn something to hide? I dont understand it, is it because its shameful?

  I think it is just US "puritan" culture. In general it is not a good idea to let a potential employer know that you are actively watching porn ... What you do in private is nobody's business, but if you do it publicly ... this could rise a red flag for an US employer.

    Correct. I enjoy a fap as much as the next man but I'm not going to advert early or inadvertently blog it, because puritans and PR. No judgment of him, just that it's not helpful when approaching employers.

    >>I think it is just US "puritan" culture. Sticking this one to the US isn't quite fair. I'm originally European (now European-US) and my wife is Chinese. I don't know of any major culture which openly encourages sharing your love of porn.

      There is a difference between encouraging and actively marginalizing someone because he watches porn. I was born in Eastern Europe where nobody had a problem with you watching porn as long as you don't do this at work or in public spaces (schools, shops etc ...).

facepalm because of him watching porn or because he uses same browser to log into his bank account (which is not a good idea) ?
