Is it just me, or is there a decided lack of girl on girl action? Not that it doesn’t exist, but for every threesome I’ve seen in Europorn, 4 out of 5 involve two guys and a girl instead of two girls and a guy.

Why is this? Social mores? heh.

Most likely because there is a niche for it.

Most American porn (straight) has female to female or three ways with girl,girl boy.

So why would Europeans make this when they can import it or rent it from Americans.

Since no American companies do this (or few or fewer) Euro companies make it the other way and distribute it here.

One thing about porn it is pretty much economic. If there is a need somenoe fills it. If there isn’t it doesn’t get made.

The internet ruined me when it comes to VHS porn. If it doesn’t have horses or children, it just isn’t the same.

Um … you might want to rethink the italicized part of that post before I start thinking that you’re a complete bastard.

Sorry, that was supposed to be a sarcastic comment about the internet.

How young is legal in Europe? I’ve seen sites from Holland that show pics of 17-year-old girls, while the legal limit in (I think) all of the US is 18. I have seen pics of girls that _look_ younger, but I’ve been with 18&19-year-old girls (not for a few years, mind you) who were, ah, similarly developed.  
Is 17 the legal limit for porn in just Holland, or is it a pan-European thing?

Heck, I have pictures of my 8-year-old niece.

Granted, she has all her clothes on. . . .

eh. Rereading everything I see that’s not exactly what you were looking for, but there it is anyway.
