Strange names for porn sites

The other day I happened upon a porn site that really made me cringe. It wasn't that the content itself was repulsive; it was the name: Bareback Fever. Perhaps some people have forgotten that night sweats  are a  major sign of HIV infection? I hope none of the cute boys below develop a fever. 

That's sure not the only stupid name for a porn site. Lollipop Twinks has got to be one of the silliest ever, and what is the point, really? It's children who enjoy lollipops, and while all the young men on this site are  legal, what fantasy is being flirted with here? 

Which bring me to Guys in Sweatpants. Yes, it had its origins as user-submitted site where guys sent  in pics of themselves in sweat pants, dicks out. But it isn't that anymore. So why keep a ridiculous name that sounds so unsexy? Might as well call it Guys in Potato Sacks. 

A porn site's name is one of its biggest marketing tools; sometimes it just goes to waste.
