To me, sex is something you DO… not watch, not listen to, etc.
I was ALWAYS bored by anything vaguely pornographic. Even as a teen, I’d pick up something like Victoria’s Secret catalog and flip through it like this:
“… cute… too scrawny… not bad… who’d wear that?.. nice hair… nose is crooked… good legs… okay, done.”
I’ll be availible to help train the fluffers.
You just need to expand your horizen and try some ummm… unorthdox porn.
I wish I could link them here but I’ll get in trouble.
Bored with porn, very.
I love the concept of porn but the execution is just generally so bad.
There’s generally no sense of joy in it, which is understandable, but no excitement,
seduction or anticipation either. Once they take their clothes off it gets dull.
The guy gets hammering away and it’s in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-
out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-
in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-
out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out- and that can carry on for
upwards of ten minutes, killing time with a metronome.
The women, they’re either the huge breasted surgically sculpted mega-stars or young
enough that they make me feel like a cradle robber, and I’m only 23!
neither of which I’m really attracted to.
And the men are worse, they’re never cute, either over 40 and ugly, or the over-muscled jock types.
They almost never have decent manners either- ruffians.
Direction, script and good production values all sound great, but Goosed for Three
(the third one) had all that plus big name stars and special effects and it was as cookie
cutter as all the other porn. The first looked like it had been shot with a handycam in
someone’s apartment and was a hell of a lot more entertaining.
Then there’s hentai anime, which is a great concept! There’s no people getting degraded
or exploited, expect perhaps a bunch of japanese animators getting carpal-tunnel syndrome
drawing the stuff. But they do reuse more footage than the average episode of Scooby-Doo.
Then its downfall comes with mutant tadpoles from beyond the moon raping cheerleaders as a
part of a plot to try and take over the world…
Is it too much to much to ask for porn with a sense of humour and fun about itself?
And for the people to keep their clothes on long enough so that there’s some time period of
wanting them to reveal more- some anticipation?
[nitpick]
Anymore is supposed to be used in a negative sense. I.E, “Porn doesn’t interest me anymore.”
In a positive sense, use nowadays: “Porn bores me nowadays.”
[/nitpick]
I find the best cure for porn fatigue is complete abstinence from all orgasm causing activities and naughty pictures and sights for one week.
Then I’m good as new for awhile, until I need a break again.
Hey! I like the stuff with the mutant tadpoles and tentacle monsters and whatnot. Normal porn has become way too boring for me.
There was a quote from a famous woman (how famous? I can’t even remember her name) in the late sixties/early seventies, when porn tried to make it into the mainstream…
“After the first ten minutes of a porn film, I want to go have sex immediately. By the time the film is done, I never want to have sex again as long as I live…”
Porn is created by men who would rather film someone having sex than actually have sex. By people who need fantasy figures to have sex with because their social skills are so inept they can’t get people to want them. No wonder the output is so unsatisfying. Porn is sex as it never exists without a whole lot of pretension.
So we all agree that porn could be better from an intellectual and creative sense. So why isn’t it? Are those producing it incapable? Are they following rules that have been in place for so long that they are cast in stone? “Money shot”, lots of fellatio, etc. Or are they unwilling to take the time and effort?
it’s too mainstream.
I’ll bet that there’s nearly NO-ONE left who hasn’t taken, been the subject of, a video/polaroid/photo/digital photo of the naked body or engaging in a sex-act.
Theres not enough money in porn to support good acting.
I’m tempted to make one just to see if I can. With proper direction and editing, you can get a plot across. My effort would be heavy on anticipation and seduction instead of a tight shot of an organ. Who knows? I might be a porn king someday.
It’s too formulaic. Almost every film goes through the same steps:
Girl gives guy a lengthy blow-job. Despite this, guy is never quite able to obtain an erection. This goes on for about ten minutes.
Guy goes down on girl. Lots of close-ups of his ugly tongue. Give or take another five minutes.
Guy and girl have sex. Order of positions may vary, but they will occasionally change from “missionary” to “cowgirl” (silly name, I think), to “reverse cowgirl” (even sillier), doggy-style (come to think of it, almost all sexual positions have stupid names–but I digress…). In between position changes, the camera invariably tries to focus directly on the point of penetration. But because this angle is so difficult, most of the time you’re just staring at the guy’s butt and his ugly testicles flapping all around. This goes on forever.
Money shot. Fade.
99% of porn follows this formula with very few deviations. I find it very difficult to maintain interest throughout the whole scene, unless the actress is particularly attractive or if they throw in a couple of extra participants–and even in the latter case, it usually just follows the same formula with an extra person.
I find the extensive close-ups of genitalia especially boring. With just a little editing, they could make it so much more interesting. An occasional cut to the actors’ faces is nice. Or just panning out to reveal there’s more to their bodies than their genitals. If they had the budget to use more than one crappy hand-held camcorder, they could probably film some pretty intense scenes. But they don’t, at least not yet.
That’s probably why I’ll find a simulated sex scene, as directed by anyone with something approaching an artistic vision, to be far more erotic than real hardcore porn.
Exactly. In fact, my wife and I have dubbed an actor we have seen more than once as “saggy balls”. You will find him in anything produced by Vivid. You’ll know him when you see him.
It’s not that. It’s just the only thing it was missing was for the super intelligent king squid to be called “Brain” and for him to have an insane clitoris sidekick named “Pinky”.
Try some gay porn. Better stories, hotter actors and much more interesting sex. All the participants tend to be involved, unlike the descriptions of str8 porn y’all are offering up. Stay away from the stuff from the former Soviet bloc countries, though. Damn free trade agreements, taking porn jobs away from Americans and sending them overseas…
Thanks all the same, Otto, but gay porn holds no interest for me at all. Lesbians? All day long.
…First time I ever saw a blowjob last almost twenty minutes…
Once you get to the point of channel surfing during porn the thrill is gone; South Park should not be more interesting than- :rolleyes:
Gay porn: The actors were sexier but the stories were no more erotic and the sex just as routine. It’s like all porn is just filled with little (or not) peccadillos… as it were.
I agree, it just gets old after a while. This is probably why I enjoy the old “Nudie Cutie” type movies and shorts I have been getting from Something Weird Video. They are so corny and at times goofy, yet I find them much more enjoyable. Give me Nude on the Moon or Kiss Me Quick over any current porn title. These I can watch all day, whereas modern hardcore, I am bored by the end of the first scene.
Hell, I’ve been bored with porn all my life-although I’ve watched it sometimes just out of curiosity when I was younger (and I felt turned just by the fact that it was porn,), but other than that, I think it’s stupid.
I’d rather read erotica.
Perhaps you guys could make your own? Get a video camera and a tripod?
