Does there come a time when the market in pornography becomes over-saturated?

Flicking through various sites last night, I noticed that most porn on offer is actually rather samey. There's a vast swathe of mediocre 'just fucking' porn out there which is almost identikit. Only the participants are different - even the settings are practically the same. Doesn't this get boring after a while? I admit that my view might be tainted by the fact that I am not attracted to people (much preferring situations) but surely watching practically the same thing over and over becomes a little dull? Perhaps I am looking into it too deeply.

Even in the fetish market, there are only so many things you can really do and I am starting to run out of new things to view. I can now understand why people start looking at increasingly extreme stuff to satiate a hunger that was borne out of the "gateway drug" that is soft-core porn. I was just wondering, with pornography's prevalence on the Internet, has everything that can be done been done and thus is everything now just repetition?* And, to that end, is most of the stuff out there repetitive simply because it HAS all be done before?

*I accept you could perhaps make the same case for other aspects of the arts including music, film and literature.

Do you believe that, ultimately, good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people? Perhaps not on a day-by-day basis but in life in general?

I used to believe in karma but events over the last three months have severely tested this. Yet, to be honest, karma is one of the major things that's keeping me going right now. I am hoping and believing that I deserve a fresh start. I'm on my way to achieving it but with no significant breakthrough on the job front, I am starting to feel a little demoralised. I know it's only been two weeks but playing the waiting game is contrary to my nature - I like things to be done, I live at a fast pace, I am starting to feel that unemployment dread.

Job situation at 20 January:
Applied for - 27
Pending - 24
Of Which Partial Successes - 2
Rejections - 3

The house situation is a similar case of affairs. We are in the process of applying to rent one in Pudsey but the endless administration is going to take time, as well as a significant amount of money in the form of an "administration fee". Can anything be simple in life, I wonder?
