The Pit won over MPSIMS in a coin toss. Move if necessary.
I don’t hate porno, but I sure hate what passes for it nowdays, especially with the videos.
-
No plots, only scenes.
I go to the adult video store, and 99% of the tapes are just scene compilations. “25 Grossest Ass-reamings,” “Clit-Hungry Sluts,” “4 Hours of Cum-Soaked Facials, Part 17,” and the like.
I mean, where’s the movie? Even those that are supposed to be movies are basically just encounter scenes. I’m not looking for Citizen Kane plots, but a story would be nice.

There’s no eroticism.
Where’s the sensuality? I think it would be fun to watch an erotic movie with my girlfriend, and in fact we have seen a few together. She is intrigued by them, and can be easily aroused; but she is put off by the harshness. And so am I.
I’m making a distinction between harshness and explicitness. A scene can be extremely explicit without coming across as just two pieces of human meat exchanging friction and fluid.
I find many soft-core movies to be very erotic. I thought Emmanuelle was terrific. Why can’t they take a plot like that (shy woman discovers her awakening sexuality and explores many avenues of expression), and make it hard-core? (I’m sure they have, but I can’t find them).
You would still have all the scenes the pornomakers rely on (mast., les., str., grp.). Oral and even anal scenes could be done sensually if they put a little effort into it. And can’t the money shot be a part of natural lovemaking rather than an excuse to cover as much of the woman’s face as possible?
Take the typical lesbian scene, for instance. Instead of something erotic, it goes like this:
–woman 1 meets woman 2
–they immediately take off clothes
–kissing: 5-10 seconds
–breast play: 20 seconds
–woman 1: lick lick lick with no enthusiasm: 2-5 minutes (fake moaning)
–switch places
–woman 2: lick lick lick with no enthusiasm: 2-5 minutes (fake moaning)
–bring out toy and KY (b/c natural arousal is nowhere to be seen; see below)
–usually no conversation at all (don’t filmmakers know that sensuous talk and erotic conversation can make sex so much more arousing than just physical contact?). How about more kissing and foreplay?
The above can be extrapolated into any scene; not just lesbian.

The women aren’t physically aroused.
I’m not just talking about orgasms, which I can see might be very difficult to have under filming conditions. But many times it is obvious the woman is not physically aroused much if at all.
I realize that women vary in the amount of natural lubrication during arousal; but it strikes me odd that porno women always seem dry as a bone. And with the gyno close-up cam, it is painfully obvious.
Actually, painful is a good word, because I have seen these women actually wince during the act. Some put their hands against the guy as if to try to push him away a little. This can’t be fun for them; and that translates into less interest for me and my girl watching. We want to see a woman dripping wet with arousal; thorougly enjoying the experience; not looking as though she is bored or wanting to be anywhere else but in that particular scene.

Shot on tape rather than film.
I hate the straight-to-video look of porno. I know, it’s cheaper. And it shows. -
Porno fake breasts
Total turn-off. They look ridiculous. -
Removal of most if not all pubic hair.
I like the buzz-cut look, and general pubic trimming, including the labial area if desired. To me, that means you take what you have and do some slight grooming. But most porno women go for the bald or “landing strip” look. Does nothing for me.
I’ve tried some of the older movies, and some can be pretty good (although some are just ridiculously silly), but I can’t find them anymore. In any case, you can never tell what you’re getting until it is too late. You can nevertell by the box what the movie will be like.
- but they must exist. Doesn’t eBay have a dirty movies section?
