Agreed. Outside of BDSM porn, girl-on-girl (or solo) dildo action tends to be incredibly lame. I want to see some damn penetration, not watch the first inch of a dildo or vibrator wiggling around at the entrance, and the girl repeatedly removing the dildo to lick and suck on it. Put it in, dammit!

What I can’t stand is all that Japanese porn where the women are constantly crying. I don’t know the language, so I can’t tell – maybe Japanese porn has a lot more rape porn, or maybe the Japanese thinks it’s somehow sexier for women not to enjoy sex. Or is it all some weird genre specifically for export?

Yeah, it is bizarre and off-putting. I have seen some normal Japanese porn, where the women are enjoying themselves and making noises like a regular human being. But it’s like how all the American porn starlets make the same annoying, nasal “mmmmm-YEAH!” sound. Someone here dubbed it the “porno ringtone”.

I love looking at Japanese women, but I’ve pretty much given up on Japanese porn. Partly because of what **Boyo Jim** pointed out, but mostly because _it takes so long to get to the point_. It seems overly obsessed with foreplay. I’ve actually started to wonder if the male actors used in these videos simply can’t get it up, and so they have to drag out the preliminaries. I mean, seriously, I’ve encountered so many J-porn videos where, 20 minutes into a scene, everybody still has all their clothes on.

Personally, I like the girls to be pretty in my porn. There seems to be no shortage of that whatsoever. I am somewhat surprised at how many gorgeous girls do porn.

Just looking around on the Europe page: Some rather surprising results.

Iceland has _teenagers fucking_ as first priority and _native american (gay)_ as second. That is oddly specific.

In Ukraine, the most popular porn topic is _raincoat (gay)_. Who knew?

In Finland, \*Finland \*and \*Finnish \*are fifth and sixth rank, but \*Czech \*is fourth? 😕

And in the Czech Republic, fifth is \*public \*and sixth is _castrated shemale_. :eek:

The latter would count as a positive in my book. I’ve seen way too much porn (…don’t ask) that starts out with a promising erotic premise, which it then proceeds to rush through or just abandon after the first two minutes in order to turn into the exact same gawd-awful standard mainstream porn video that everyone else is making. More foreplay, please. In fact, just skip the idiotic spread-legs, fake orgasm part altogether, for all I care, and do \*only \*foreplay.

Penes (pea-neez). But I’d pluralize it in English if I were you - it’s well established as a _bona fide_ English word by now, and people who don’t know their third declension plurals would only look at you funny.

As far as I can tell, these days the principle export of the Czech Republic is unreasonably hot 18 year old girls.

Oh yes. And Russia, and Ukraine…

I _do_ sometimes question the ages of some of the girls I see, though. My just-turned-15 niece looks older and is better developed than some of these Eastern European 18- to 21-year-olds. These sites all assure me they’re 18+, though, so I’m chalking it up to “nutrition”, or the lack thereof. Kind of the same way East Asian women are smaller and younger-looking than their Western counterparts because of less meat and fat in their diets.

ETA: I also think my own age (47) makes it harder to tell how old somebody is in that age range. There’s a new 20-year-old _American_ girl at work who looks younger than my niece.

If you find those shocking, I strongly suggest not pointing at South Korea. Japan is interesting, too – basically all “Japanese \<something\>.”

Most of the others seem to find foreigners exotic, Japan seems to look inward.

Well, in the J stuff I’ve seen, the girls don’t seem to be enjoying the foreplay any more than the actual sex. OTOH, I’ve have stumbled across one or two incredibly hot Japanese lesbian scenes, but those seem pretty rare. The girls’ demeanor in the lesbian stuff is completely different from what you see in the boy-girl stuff.
