Being recently retired with too much time on my hands I decided to do a little research on porn. My buddies are always sending me porn e emails, I have no interest and have never had any interest it simply does nothing for me. I have never been offended by it just not interested. I decided to look up a variety of legal types of porn just to see how they affected me. I was surprised to find out that the older not so attractive women seducing young men did get a little stir out of me, enough to where I watched about an hours worth. Looking back on my first experience with sex it involved an older woman very similar to the ones in the vidios. Is this particular niche a common one? ---

Looking back on my first experience with sex it involved an older woman very similar to the ones in the vidios. Is this particular niche a common one? I’m with you there. The typical “glamorous” porn starlet does nothing for me. Give me a woman who looks like she could be a neighbor. The British seem to have a special love of the “Girl Next Door” and “Horny Housewives” genres. And yes, your earliest sexual experiences will tend to have a profound impact on your erotic tastes for the rest of your life, although most men find the age they are attracted to ages with them. > [@StusBlues](#): > > It’s out there.

FWIW, I prefer “fantasy” porn, stuff that couldn’t exist in real life. So, to begin with, idealized figures rather than realistic “next door neighbor” people, but, more to the point, furries, robots, monsters, angels, devils, superheroes, deviants, herms, etc. Standard porn motifs, but imbued with a fantasy touch. Miss April is cute, but give me Dejah Thoris… ---

> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > Being recently retired with too much time on my hands I decided to do a little research on porn. By the way, if you start to get chafed from too much “research”, you might consider learning how to edit Wikipedia. It is ruled by a strange culture - imagine a bureaucracy run by _volunteer_ bureaucrats. But it has it’s own rewards. ---

I find if you get chafed while “researching,” you need to reapply lube. Another search term for this is of course “cougar.” From that website: Germany and Japan’s tastes are more pedestrian than I expected (stereotyping!). Although Japan does have a lot more gay searches than you’d expect. And I note you can’t click on Saudi Arabia… ---

God yes. I lost my virginity to a redhead (on St. Patrick’s Day, no less), and I loves me some redhead porn. > [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > I find if you get chafed while “researching,” you need to reapply lube. One of the great things about being uncircumcised is the fact that lube in not necessary for masturbation! ---

Just want to chime in that this fantasy is very, very common in the gay male community as well. It doesn’t do too much for me personally, although sometimes I do like it a bit. But yeah, nothing wrong with finding maturity sexy! ---

For some reason, the makers seem to think that all MILFs need enormous tits, and I don’t like enormous tits). Those who love older women with smaller breasts should seek out the Golden Age actress [Juliet Anderson, aka “Aunt Peg”.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Peg) She didn’t start in porn until she was 39, and defined the sexually knowing older woman for a generation. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Let’s just say that some circumcised men need lube; others of us never have. I think it depends on how good a job the doctor/mohel did. You can do it really close or leave a little wiggle room. Anyways, the individual taste I find the most interesting is the differing thoughts on whether seeing someone of your own sex participating increases or decreases enjoyment. I personally can’t stand to see a penis in my porn, but I know a lot of otherwise straight men who want the biggest one possible. ---

Why do these otherwise straight men rush to tell you about their dong preferences?

> [@BigT](#): > > Anyways, the individual taste I find the most interesting is the differing thoughts on whether seeing someone of your own sex participating increases or decreases enjoyment. Eh, the penis in a scene serves as a stand-in for my own penis. I’m not into looking as penises (peni?) as such, but I want to see a sexy woman sucking on a penis, or being fucked by a penis. And no, a woman wielding a dildo is not an acceptable substitute. There are few things on earth stupider looking than someone sucking on a dildo. > [@](#): > > I personally can’t stand to see a penis in my porn, but I know a lot of otherwise straight men who want the biggest one possible. You seem to be implying that anyone who wanted to see a man and woman fucking is secretly gay. No, gay men want to see men fucking and sucking _men_. Again, the man is just providing a stunt cock, and frankly I would prefer to see fewer over-sized ones. The exceptionally large ones cannot even fit into a vagina - poor Ron Jeremy and John Holmes usually had to hold their fist around the base of the dick to prevent them from going too deep.
