I’ve noticed that porn is being infilterated by cartoon / henta porn. Which is simultaneously pornagraphic and not anatomically accurate. Which know reminds me of those nature documentaries where some bug/bird/animal is getting it off on a stick with a bit of colored fabric attached, which triggers all the right instincts without looking anything like a real bug/bird/animal. And we smirked at the limited brain-power of those poor suckers. I wonder what the ultimately most seductive porn is going to look like? I suspect/fear that it’s going to be some minimally human caricature that triggers all our instinctive reactions… ---

Dude. There are like 10 different search engines for HD porn with like every conceivable video you would want. Just search for the porn that you like. The weird cartoon porn has always been around, and it doesn’t do anything for me either, so…just don’t search for it? ---

Porn’s like every other genre. It’s designed to be entertaining not realistic. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Gradually becoming? It hit ridiculous years ago. Was about to say. The way the OP is phrased it seems like only a subset of how _entertainment media in general_ has become infiltrated by toon/comics and anime/manga aesthetics and idioms and vice versa in a feedback cycle. What were the big movies in the last few years, again? And like \*\*Qagdop \*\*said, ridiculous has always been there. The pizza boy delivering the large sausage, the “head” nurse, the cheerleading team raising money to go to the nationals thru prostitution, the mother who is 2 years older than the daughter… ---

Porn it’s just receiving satisfaction from watching something you’re never gonna experience. Cartoon sex, sex with Jenna Jameson, eating a quadruple cheeseburger with a fried egg, bacon and jalapenos… ---

The pizza boy delivering the large sausage, the “head” nurse, the cheerleading team raising money to go to the nationals thru prostitution, the mother who is 2 years older than the daughter… Agreed. Anyone who complains about the absurdity of pizza boys getting seduced should also be complaining about the absurdity of a high schooler accidentally inviting two girls to the prom and then trying to keep both dates simultaneously or the absurdity of a large group of trained guards deciding to fight a prisoner one at a time so they can each be defeated individually or the absurdity of a beautiful woman needing to take off her glasses and let down her hair before anyone notices her. ---

I see silly declarations like this far too often, especially around here. It’s like saying, “YouTube is nothing but unboxing videos now.” Click the little magnifying glass, type in what floats your boat, and have fun. ---

Having led a sheltered life till I was 30 or so, I’d never seen porn. My husband had a friend who had a rather large video collection and he lent us a few so I could see what the big deal was. The one I remember most vividly was called [“Ginger’s Sex Asylum”](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134688/) We just laughed at the absurdity of it all. So, yeah, porn has long been ridiculous. ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > It’s always been ridiculous. That’s part of its charm. Sex is ridiculous. You make funny faces. Your bodies make funny squelching noises, or farting noises. You sweat. Goo winds up everywhere. In real life there’s trying to arrange limbs for maximum comfort while making squelchy, farty noises (this only gets worse with age and loss of flexibility). And it’s over fairly quickly leaving (usually) one party snoring and the other going through various lists of things to do or contemplating what color to paint the ceiling next. Why should porn be any different? ---

I’ve noticed that the debate about the deterioration of culture and art is now being infiltrated by discussing porn. Of course, as with the existing debate, it’s not exactly packed with solid arguments. ---

Rule 34! > [@Ambivalid](#): > > Because having sex and watching sex are two totally different experiences. True. And fantasy is generally cleaner, tidier, and with fewer toilets than the real world, too. (Think _Star Trek:_ Where no man has gone before!.. because there’s no head on that ship…) Personally, I prefer fantasy porn to watching two people have actual real sex focused on mutual enjoyment rather than camera angles and money shots, but that’s me. ---
