I thought this was going to be about all the incest crap, and how everyone has to throw in some wilder and wilder fantasy. The former detracts for me because incest is gross, and the latter because rarely are they good enough actors to pull it off, and rarely do they just do it tongue-in-cheek enough that the acting doesn’t matter. If you can’t act, at least look like you’re having fun. But cartoon stuff? It’s fine. It’s actually gotten a lot better to the point that sometimes it works for me, when it never did before. The digital coloring helps. And digital animation seems to work better. What the hentai stuff has allowed them to do is figure out what parts trigger arousal and increase it in a way that couldn’t happen in real life. Consider Jessica Rabbit. A real woman with those dimensions would look like a freak, but many see her as impressively sexy. It’s all just about pressing buttons in our brains. And those didn’t necessarily evolve to match reality. ---

If you can’t act, at least look like you’re having fun. And that was one of the virtues of “golden age” porn chic. It helped that at the time the talent _did_ include aconsiderable number of would-be real actors who fell short, as opposed to later years where people go straight to porn on purpose. ---

> [@Melbourne](#): > > I’ve noticed that porn is being infilterated by cartoon / henta porn. Which is simultaneously pornagraphic and not anatomically accurate. That’s actually seriously wrong. Hentai artists tend to be almost hilariously meticulous and surgical in their depictions of sex. That includes often anatomically correct “x-Ray” depictions of sexual acts. Also, hentai will often explore sexuality as going beyond the old in and out. You will hardly ever see mainstream western pornography employing toys, for instance. If anything, modern western pornography has barely changed since the 90’s. Same old camera angles, same old excuses for a plot, if there’s any, same music and glossy camera filters… Sure, occasionally you get some sort of fad going on, like the choking thing from a few years ago, or when everybody was doing handheld stuff, but mostly it’s all the same. Or so I’ve heard. From a friend. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > 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. Which porn movie has all this? I mean, I was just wondering. ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Which porn movie has all this? I mean, I was just wondering. Jailbirds 2: Hair down there. It’s the story of Anthony, a high school virgin who wants to lose his virginity during prom and ends up taking Chastity and Destiny, two twin sisters (who are curious about boys, girls and each other) to prom The twins don’t know about the simultaneous dates until they hilariously meet by the punch bowl and are forced to “work our their differences” under the bleachers. They eventually get kicked out for having an orgy in the locker room with Mrs. Baxter, the principal and Amber Harballz, the gym teacher. Since Anthony and the girls are underage they go to jail where each of the (female) prison guards go one on one with him in the yard to teach the dirty boy a lesson. Meanwhile, the twins are sent to a different ward where they meet Melanie, a shy social worker who has never had a boyfriend because she’s just. so. ugly. Through the power of long flowing hair and magic fingers, the twin sisters turn this zero into a hero! Melanie, ever thankful and now bomb-ass hot with her hair down, convinces the judge to let everyone off on parole by going to a private one-on-one meeting in his chambers. ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > 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. And people act like asexuals are the weird ones. ---

Which is better than one party contemplating what color to paint the ceiling during the act. And there used to be some (incredibly sexist) Jewish American Princess jokes on this very subject. ---

The infiltration is quite subtle and only appeared in recent years. Why, just _look_ at those murals in the brothels of Pompeii. They show silly caricatures of half-men, half-goat “satyrs” fornicating with good decent people! . And the “good roman citizens” who create this filth excuse it by claiming that they are merely depicting “more than 3000 years of Greek Mythology”. Scandalous!! \ ---

The nice thing about cartoon porn is, you never have to worry that the people you’re jerking it to are only doing it because they’re struggling with addiction, or were forced into it by an abusive SO, or are dealing with debilitating mental illness.
