There’s just something about mindless screwing that never gets old.

Then you’re either not doing it right, or your partner isn’t, or both, depending on your and your partners’ sex and or orientation.

yeah, I think that’s probably it, lack of a partner and therefore lack of sex. Really all the little issues, plot, videography, acting are all window dressing to the main criteria- Does this relieve my sexual frustration for longer than 30 seconds? Since that’s virtually impossible, I guess I’m unfairly preindisposed against any porn, and not evaluating it on it’s own merit.

That, and women with really long finger nails scare me.

I just noticed that porn is boring. I’ve have gone from focusing on different porn stars. Then from switching categories like parodies,ebony, ect.I no longer have favorite positions because I’ve had them all.I just kno doggy style is the best.Its still the same.Thanks to that…its deeper than just porn.If some of the sexiest women does not excite me, how can a regular female can.But I have came to the ultimatum that I mite just get rid of the need to watch everyday and I’m just gonna have sex only. I don’t get it in everyday like dat but I do every other few weeks with same group of chicks I’ve put in alot of work to get to know. I think its the biggest key to me getting my normal 8 inch thick you kno wat because seems like I have went down an inch since I can get it up without a thought about sex.I am trying to let the sperm build up in me to go harder at wat I do.females expect that large penis since I’m black lol(lightskin). so I’m not being solavent but I’m trying 4 someone special. this my method to make porn unexciting by trying to forget I’ve seen it all.I started as a kid for learning purposes nd now I’m watching porn bloopers(funny) nd now full movies 4 storylines.

Yeah as a gay man I can’t imagine EVER getting bored of all the crazy ass gay porn out there. I rarely ever find any gay porn boring. However, I am still a meager 26 years old. Perhaps one day I will find it boring, but not yet 🙂

Straight porn sounds so awful, I feel sorry for all you heterosexuals ☹ ☹ ☹

It’s about the genre, anymore. The substance need not be there beyond ooh, naked people with one’s dong in the other’s hooha. The point of it by now is tattoos and pecs, silicone and heels. _That’s_ what’s supposed to get you off.

After maybe a month of looking at porn, I came to agree with you, **Evil One** : most of it is pretty boring. It has to be fairly hardcore to initiate so much as a response out of me–and even then, that response is usually just amusement. Most pornography is more laughable than arousing, IMHO. Some of the stuff I’ve come across is just plain ludicrous, but that can be okay under the right circumstances…sometimes. Sometimes a little bit of fantasy is okay, but usually it’s just like, “she actually looks bored,” or “what the hell? people get off on this? How?” or “My, that is one frightening-looking breast/penis/deposit of semen.”

You can only look at so many facials before they just start to look sort of funny (asuming that they didn’t to begin with, which was the case with me. Course, I’m a tad unusual). Specifically, what **Peter** , said: almost anything hardcore is degrading.

I was concerned that she is 17 yet joined in 2002…until I noticed she posted this in 2003.

More often than you’d think, actually…if you browse fanart/fanfiction-porn, then there’s a fair amount for World of Warcraft, Resident Evil and other games with undead in them.

A funny example of not-quite zombie porn I recall from a short story. A guy who had killed his cheating wife and her lover out of jealously flees for his life when they rise from their graves. He hides in his apartment, hides under his bed and they break into the apartment, then his bedroom…and just when he’s sure that they’re going to kill him the zombies fling themselves onto the bed and start having sex, totally ignoring him under the bed. The story ends with him pounding his fist on the floor in sheer jealous rage.

I only opened this to see if someone had solve the “problem” of “being bored with porn”.

I’m now only responding because I’ve always wanted to tell you, Drunky, how much I love you. Every time you post, I am thrilled by your words. I always smile & my day is better.

Unfortunately, if we were to meet, I’d squeeze the stuffing out you & piss you right off.

Please don’t ever change.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Blowjobs don’t need to go on for 15 minutes.

Then there are the various sex positions. Anybody else tired of “spooning” already? It’s almost gotten to the point where missionary is the “novelty” position.

Part of my boredom problem is that I like certain “niche” porn, specifically spanking and BDSM, but I can’t find any that really does it for me. If I find something that has the kind of action I want to see and realistic, appropriate acting and reactions (because the actors are actually into the scene), I find the models unappealing - either they’re simply unattractive, or they look like traditional porn stars with inflated breasts and too much makeup. But if I find something with models/actresses who appeal to me, it turns out to be fake, “Ooo, let’s make something ‘edgy’ for the vanilla crowd!” stuff, where it’s pretty clear that the actresses haven’t the foggiest idea of a realistic reaction to being spanked or whipped. Since they’re not actually in pain, they end up with either a “surprised” look on their faces, or they completely _over_act, screaming bloody murder in reaction to a light pat on their butt.

I guess I’m lucky in my tastes - I can’t stand watching overly made-up, bleached-hair porn starlets with aftermarket breasts, and they are the ones who generally tend to deliver the most boring performances anyway.

My tastes tend to run towards normal-looking women. There is little to no surprise in seeing someone who _looks_ like a porn starlet _act_ like a porn starlet. On the other hand, seeing someone who looks like someone you’d see on the “L”, or at the grocery store, or a suburban mom? Seeing _that_ woman start out dressed in her normal clothes and discover that under that mild-mannered, quiet demeanor is a potential porn star? That is very exciting. I don’t necessarily need a “plot” as such, but I need a compelling scenario, one that can deliver that change.

My favorite genre is what I call “friendly gonzo”. It is not cursed with all the hateful language, spitting and slapping crap that is in so much US "gonzo. My favorite director is a Brit named Lindsey Honey, and his porn handle is Ben Dover (hur-hur), and most of his schtick is meeting girls on the street, casting for a show, “bored housewife”, or women who write to him wanting to be in a scene. And most of them are actually fairly believable. The occasional scenes that he has done with typical-looking porn starlets are dull, but the ones who look most normal, the ones who do one scene for him and disappear? Those can be amazing, and bear many repeat viewings.

Yes, porn can be boring. I actually find the “professionally” made movies horribly boring. The reason is because **these people are acting**. It’s not real. I find homemade porn much more interesting. For different “niches”, try Joymii, Dane Jones, Explicite, or Klixen. These are some of my current favorites. Of course, YMMV.
