Porn Films Give Incredibly Accurate Insights into Cultures

Throw away your Lonely Planets and your New Yorker Magazine. You want to understand what make people in another place tick, check out their (soft) porn flicks.

France: awesome - classy, a little kinky, older women (and men) are validated
Italy: less awesome, but okay - some of the women are skanky, too much emphasis on cars
Germany: variable - so long as the director isn’t a Fassbender wannabe, can be good, otherwise too depressing and not enough action, some surprisingly good looking birds
England: crap - try to be humorous, that’s not why I hired it
America: can’t escape - too many false boobs, too much looking in the damn camera, too anodyne, not enough passion
Canada: alternative - a bit posey, but quite erotic
Japan: basic - they have a knickers’ fetish and the girls should be told they’re allowed to enjoy it; lose the vocalising (uh! uh! uh! uh!)
Korea: fraudulent - like their construction work, you get nothing like is promised
Hong Kong: variable - too much violence, but some nice looking birds

Sorry, that’s about the extent of my knowledge. Care to fight my ignorance?

German porn I’ve heard about tends to be rather kink-oriented - severe bondage, scheisse, that sort of thing. Tends to make me think of the country in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Not something I’d want to watch.

Russian porn tends to feature boring but rough straight sex.

How do you explain bukkake?

Translation, please.

Scat porn.

You know, like Woody Allen’s (character’s) sister in “Crimes and Misdemeaners”.

A little kink is, well, kinky, but defecation? Ugh!

Armed with my new knowledge courtesy of Stranger, I did specify soft porn (no pun intended). Being pooed or weed upon* have never appealed to me, but then again I’m extremely conservative.

  • Neither, I should add, pooing or weeing on others. We all have our funny ways.

I agree except that French porn hides the actors behind someone else’s voice whereas American porn lets them speak for themselves so to speak. What that means I don’t know. It’s freakin’ annoying.

I think Hungarian erotica is some of the best. For some reason Hungary has become a center of European porn, it seems, attracting the best talent from surrounding cultures. A lot of it is available for free online. The women are all amazing looking and the guys are all very handsome and well-groomed. And there’s not so much of the screaming, grunting and over-aggressive behavior that seems to typify American porn.

Negative ghostrider… Bukkake is not scat porn. It generally means “sprinkle” or “splash” and is most widely known as a way to make noodles. When used in an erotic context, it generally means a group of men ejaculating on a woman.

As Wikipedia says :

Yes, and Czech actors are pretty good too.

“Erotic humiliation”?!

My point about much East Asian porn is that it’s both violent AND unerotic.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to have the bad luck to skip over one of the most important words in the OP. Such is life.

Not a genre I’m very fluent in. Also I can say Japanese soft porn is way to cutesy for me.

The best way to explain “bukkake” is to think of the phrase “plasterer’s radio”.

I spent a few moments pronouncing “plasterer’s radio” in as many different accents as possible, trying to make it sound dirty (“Plaster her Sradio”? What is that, some Hungarian anatomical term?), until I realized that you’re suggesting the visual image, rather than the phrase itself.

Yes, that’s it.

And thus I am revealed as not an expert on foreign kink porn. :o

Hey, me: I just like plain girl-on-girl action. It may sound crass, but if tremorviolet can keep promoting slash porn, then I can enjoy my own prefernece. :wink:

Having lived there for five years, I can attest to this fact. A whole hell of a lot of porn comes from Hungary and the Czech Republic (If you’ve ever seen porn by the Swedish company Private, you’ll hear a lot of Hungarian being spoken.) And almost every second woman in Budapest is just plain hot by American standards. Check out the Hungarian girls on any singles website and you’ll see what I mean. Some damn good gene pool out there. :slight_smile:

I’m no porn expert (in fact, I’ve never watched any porn at all), but I know a bit about the global entertainment industry in general. It seems obvious enough to me that the kind of foreign porn one is most likely to hear about is that which differs the most from the mainstream porn of your own country.

I can’t imagine there’d be much American interest in foreign porn that simply showed women who have large breasts having sex with men who have large penises. The market is full of domestic porn flicks that fit that description, so who would bother to import something that differed only in that the woman was saying “Do me” in another language? Foreign porn flicks that differ from the American norm in some way would have a better chance of finding a niche in the American market. It may also be that some foreign porn industries don’t even want to try to compete with American imports when it comes to mainstream stuff, and focus on fringe markets instead.
