> [@DKW](#): > > I’m with Clothahump that the performers are hard on the eyes. More than that, though, is that hardcore makes sex seem sordid and disgusting. And the performers very rarely look like they’re _enjoying_ it at all. Frankly, I have trouble even seeing the point; the typical XXX production has all the eroticism of a punch in the face. I prefer European porn, especially the French- and Italian-made stuff. The women tend to be better looking—fewer balloon-boobs, trout pouts, sunburnt leathery faces, and ugly tats—and do a more convincing job of appearing to enjoy it. Never thought of myself as prudish, but I can’t think of anything unsexier than the current trend of gagging/puking, spitting, choking, etc. All I can think of when I see that shit is “God, I feel bad for that girl… and her parents.” ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Funny, I find most of them don’t have a money shot. And it’s pretty easy to predict when it’s going to happen if there is one. Can’t you just close the window just before that? You do? Maybe we’re not looking at the same places. And I don’t mind money shots, I just prefer it when he comes in her. That’s not really the point though, heh. I just wish there were better categories. ---

I just wish there were better categories. I do see categories such as “come in vagina.” I have no idea what’s in them though, as I’ve never taken the time to look. ---

As a female who sometimes enjoys hetero porn, my biggest issue is that they switch positions constantly. They never “settle in” like a normal couple would. It looks almost like a demonstration of various positions. I’m okay with lesbian porn, but some of it is clearly made for a male audience and looks borderline painful. ---

Count me in as someone who finds most of what’s out there just grotesque. It like watching a freak show of low self esteem. ---

I certainly don’t mind hetero porn; the guy isn’t why I’m there, and if he’s really ugly or a douchbag that’s not fun to watch, but I do like watching fucking. I also enjoy watching a good cumshot, and the guy is kind of necessary for that. Lesbian porn is nice, though even there I do like some strap-on action. What I really don’t like is more than one guy with one girl, the whole gangbang or bukkake thing. 2 girls, 1 guy, great, wonderful, love it. ---

(Plenty of money shots, though.) ---

> [@Reply](#): > > Oh. If it’s in the woman, it’s not a money shot? Misconception corrected. No, that’s more along the lines of “misconception _occurred_.” It’s when she takes a Plan B pill that misconception is _corrected_.
