I don't understand porn

Well, you know what to do. Be open-minded, loving, and awesome on film, then dare to leave your lover. If history holds true, she’ll be sure to pay you back for sexing her up on cue.

(No, seriously, are people this goddamned crazy when a break-up happens? I’m so disturbed by the idea of guys jacking off to humiliated women)

You’ll be surprised at how many men and women fail to have sex before they’re hitched. That’s one use. The other is, I might get stomped for this, porn has an educational value to adolescents.

Nah. My first post was dumb and unnecessary enough as it was. I’m not making it worse by posting links.

Looks like I’ve got four reasons you can’t relate.

  1. Many people are not in relationships and can’t get laid.
  2. Most people, men and women, think about sex a lot, especially when single.
  3. Many people in relationships aren’t having awesome sex.
  4. Many people having bad sex can’t or won’t leave.

So basically, you’re not into porn because you’re getting laid as much as you want.

Or you have plenty of sex yourself and still like seeing others doing it too. Or you like seeing a variety of naked people of your preferred gender but you don’t want to cheat. Or there are sex acts you find titillating to watch but have no desire to perform. Or sometimes you like sexual gratification without having to put out the effort (or pressure) to please someone else.

Have to say, when I look at porn I prefer to turn the sound off. I’ve known a few screamers but that gets kinda silly and irritating real fast. Most people I’ve been with have been pretty quiet, I certainly am. I mean, I think sex is when you’re poor and can’t afford air conditioning in the Texas summer and you’re lying there afterward semi comatose drenched in sweat and your lover shocks! you awake plopping a carton of chocolate ice cream down on your belly. Never see that in a movie. But it bothers me that people are bothered by porn. I quit watching TV and going to movies years ago because everything is so violent. We’d be a better people if there was more sex on TV.

I like average looking mature women who are uninhibited enough to masturbate in front of a camera, or perform oral or do just about anything in front of a camera, including lesbian sex.

Why? Because of their lack of inhibitions. It’s a turn on for me to see naked women who are so completely comfortable with their bodies that they would perform on film like that. That excites me.

Scripted, fake boob, straight bimbo porn with terrible acting does almost nothing for me. Give me a decent looking amateur woman who is enjoying what she’s doing and it’s really difficult not to enjoy watching her.

Even if your sex life is OK, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a little alone time. My ex completely didn’t understand this concept and after once finding me viewing porn the dynamics of our relationship were shattered. One of the reasons why she’s now my ex.

I like the comic actions and talks preceding a lay on film. The guy talks like a next door neighbor asking to borrow a bowl or a garden hose. The girl talks with greater naivete than Jemima Duck; disgusted at first and then randy a second later.

I always wondered if there was any voyeur inhibited enough to believe those ridiculous plot lines. Quel surpise!

Not.

Good thing it’s free. Because if I’m paying for it I want to watch someone worth watching, who seems to know what they’re doing, recorded by someone with some vague notion as to how to frame and light a shot.

OTOH I may have been spoiled by being introduced to film/vid porn in the late 70s-early 80s time period when they still were trying to make “real movies” and had a lot of players with actual acting experience (OK, so for most of them you could easily see and hear why the regular acting career had gone nowhere; yet on the plus side, they still mostly looked and sounded like reasonably normal humans). So at least the laughably stupid attempts at a plot sometimes went into the so-bad-it’s-good realm. (But often it just was so-bad-it’s-bad)

I’m shocked to learn that there are people out there whose sexual interests and preferences are different than mine. My sexual behavior is so completely fulfilling and spiritual that others must be sad stunted lonely perverts.

Ummm probably! It was in around 1980something, so that’s entirely possible. If they had good music, that would make it more palatable. Maybe that’s the 0.1% :smiley:

A lot of it is quite funny. Mostly older stuff, though… the newer stuff is really kind of :eek:

I mean, what is WITH all the spitting? Who thinks that’s sexy?

Yeah! see this is what I mean, it is pretty funny, at least the ancient stuff that I saw way back when. I did date a guy many many decades ago, with whom I watched porn. It wasn’t a turn on though, it was more entertainment value to me. Though I guess he liked it a lot. I only watched it because I never really had, was curious and I can tend to be a “well, I’ll try anything once” kind of person. I guess that’s why I was more curious as to why folks would want to watch it together if they’re already into each other? It’s not as if I think it’s wrong, bad, or whatnot for the people who do like it, I just don’t get it. It’s almost as if it would be more the other way 'round. Like “umm why are we wasting our time watching this? Let’s go get busy okay”? Wading through a half hour porn flick would be like “uh huh, yeah, I already KNow how to do that, yup, that too” let’s go. And then if it went on too long, I’d lose momentum and have to get back in the mood.

Someone was asking me about the photos. Even those, though attractive, aren’t a turn on for me. They’re admirable, and certainly have a “wow, what a looker”! kind of appeal, but it’s not as if I look at a naked guy and am suddenly all “Okay let’s DO it”! :smiley:

Spitting? I don’t remember any spitting, do I want to know in what context that would take place?

There is a lot of different porn out there, and there are a lot if ways to use it. Personally, I’m not into most of it, but there’s the odd video I’ve found arousing/enjoyable enough to get off to. I could care less about it (or any form of masturbation) if any form of REAL sex with another person is on the table. But, I only have sex while in a relationship, so sometimes it’s been a form of substitution.

For someone like my boyfriend, it’s a tool - he has a voracious sex drive, so if he’s not in a relationship or not with me (we’re LD right now) viewing 5 minutes of porn twice a day to have a quick orgasm keeps him from feeling distracted and sexually charged 24/7. He thinks it’s creepy to be a masturbation hobbyist and spend hours looking at it. But then again, he’s never been lacking for female attention and has had partners practically since he hit puberty, so his experience is very different than a lot of men, who can’t or don’t ‘just have real sex’.

Isn’t it all relative? Watching the notebook is porn to me, because I desire that kind of emotional stimulation to really get off.

That’s true. I am guessing that books would count as porn as well (even though the thread I was asking about specified 'watching porn with your partner), now that’s something I might find interesting, reading the “good parts” of the Kama Sutra or My Secret Garden or something like that. Sillypandaa has an EXCELLENT point as well, emotional is porn to me.

F’sure! I’m fond of “fantasy” stuff, stuff that simply doesn’t exist in reality. Thematic porn. Superhero porn, furry porn, magical themes, monster-people images, etc. The stuff or purest fantasy. (If it really existed, it would actually be terrifying!)

Also the funny stuff! Let’s face it, the sex act is one of the most absurd-looking things on earth! Making comedy of it is easy. Every so often, you’ll find x-rated “blooper” scenes – things that go wrong during the filming of a sex scene. Some of them aren’t too funny – people can get hurt that way. But some of them are surpassing hilarious!

They make porn blooper movies? That’s priceless :smiley:
